Residents planning to add or modify attached structures on their properties must first secure approval from the Founder's Review Committee (FRC), according to community guidelines. This requirement applies to all exterior modifications, including new screened-in porches or carports, to ensure consistency and adherence to established architectural standards.

The architectural design change process requires homeowners to obtain approval from a sub-Homeowners Association (HOA), if one exists for their specific community, before submitting an application to the master HOA. A PDF detailing the process is available to homeowners.

Associated fees for modifications include a $50 FRC Application Fee for attached structures. Lanai projects exceeding 150 square feet require additional ISD fees totaling $476, which cover a $100 Site Plan Review and a $376 Right of Way Inspection.

Homeowners should consult the 'Attached Structure Guidelines' and 'Temporary Structures' PDFs for comprehensive information. Required documentation typically includes a site plan indicating the proposed location and detailed specifications of the structure, such as materials, dimensions, and color. No structure may protrude from the sides of the residence or encroach onto any easement. The FRC may request additional documentation, and homeowners should also verify any specific requirements with their sub-association.
