To assist with the processing of Architectural Change requests, the Stonewall Architectural Review Committee (ARC) offers the following guidelines for an architectural change or alteration:
-
Any architectural change or alteration request must be submitted with an Application For Architectural Change form . All necessary drawings, sketches, etc. are to be enclosed with the form.
-
This process is used for all exterior home changes of any kind. For example, fencing of any type, any exterior structure to remain on the property such as a shed, trailer, storage building, pool, hottub, etc., changes to the exterior like paint color, addition of shutters or other decorative enhancements, additional windows to the home and solar panels. If you are not sure if an Architectural Change request is required, please just ask any member of the board.
-
All information should be sent to: stonewallfarmsboard@gmail.com
-
All submittals must be received prior to starting any improvements. Failure to receive prior written approval for a change will result in the homeowner being fined up to $75 per day until the proper paperwork is received and approved.

Fences: Wood type permitted is arched type with finishes being natural stain or cedar type. Stockade or metal privacy fences are not permitted, except for wrought iron black. Maximum height of a fence is 6'. Picket fences should have as much width between the picket as the width of the picket. Fences must be built on site and not utilize prefabricated panels. A picture or brochure of the proposed fence must be provided, along with a plat of the lot indicating the proposed fence location.
-

If bottom is mounted on frame, then it must be enclosed with lattice. Storage sheds should not be placed in an area that would interfere with neighboring homes.
