What Are “Home Modifications?”

If you’ve read “The Log,” our resident newsletter, you’ve seen the notice about pre-approval requirements for home modifications. In a nutshell, if you plan to make any exterior modifications to your home, you must first have your plans reviewed and approved by the Design & Use Review Board (DRB) before taking action, per the CC&Rs and DRB guidelines for Point Hope.

But what are “home modifications?”

Exterior home modifications include any changes to your home that are viewable from the street and/or neighboring homes. These include:

• Paint color changes - siding, doors, shutters, porches, fences, etc.

• Fences - new and/or alterations to existing fence

• Porches & patios

• Garage door or window changes

• Landscaping changes

• Pools

The review process starts when you submit a completed Residential Modification Form with appropriate application fee to the POA office. The form, which has additional details, can be accessed here.
