Any owner desiring to make a landscaping change, improvement, or addition must obtain approval for the change or improvement from the Board of Directors. All requests submitted on a Completed Improvement Application Form for landscaping changes will be considered on an individual basis.
The Landscaping Committee and the Board of Directors have approved the following guidelines for landscaping enhancements.
1. Flowers may be added in the front mulch areas so long as they are maintained and match the décor of the community.
2. Any new landscaping improvements at the rear, or along the side, of units requires prior approval of the Landscaping Committee and the Board.
3. It shall be the responsibility of the unit owner to maintain the landscaping changes made.
4. A landscape improvement must not restrict any drainage area or downspout.
5. An "Improvement Application Form" must be submitted to the Landscaping Committee and the Board for approval prior to any changes being made in the landscaping of the common areas.
6. Any changes made without the prior approval of the Landscape Committee and Board will subject the unit owner making those changes to be required to completely restore the area to its original condition including size and type of plants.
7. The Board and its agents or contractors are not responsible for homeowners' landscaping improvements. They will of course take all reasonable care while performing maintenance work, but if accidental damage is done, it will not be corrected.
In general, if you are unsure of any landscaping changes, contact any member of the Landscaping Committee, Board Member, or Towne Properties.
