Schedule of ARC Meetings for 2010

Sunday, January 3 Sunday, January 24 Sunday, February 7 Sunday, February 28 Sunday, March 21 Sunday, April 11 Sunday, May 2 Sunday, May 23 Sunday, June 13 Sunday, June 27 Sunday, July 18 Sunday, August 15 Sunday, August 29 Sunday, September 19 Sunday, October 10 Sunday, November 14 Sunday, December 5 Sunday, December 19

The ARC meets every three weeks as noted in the schedule above.  Please plan ahead to assure your project has received approval prior to your planned start date!  Applications should be received at Community Management Solutions at least one day prior to the scheduled ARC meeting date.  Expect to receive a response letter in the mail from the Management Company within seven to ten days after the ARC meeting.

Applications will only be reviewed by the ARC between meetings if they concern roofs with active leaks or catastrophic events such as fire or flood.  Any emergency ARC request must be initiated with Kathy Dooley at Community Management Solutions or by email to the ARC Committee Chair.  Contractor discounts for starting projects early are not an emergency.  Homeowners are advised to get multiple contractor bids for home repair, as competition for work will ultimately generate the lowest contract price.

For questions about the ARC guidelines or directions on how/when to fill out an ARC application form, please call or email Kathy Dooley at 281- 480- 2563 (Click here to email CMSI).

Thanks,
Michael Henry
PCA ARC Chair

Hurricane Ike Repairs

• Where can I find info about selecting a roof contractor and installing a replacement roof?
  One place to get info is the Texas Department of Insurance site:  www.tdi.state.tx.us/wind/documents/RepairingRoofAfterStorm.pdf.

• Do I need approval for roof replacement?
  Yes.  Requests will get quick approval if they meet two deed restriction requirements: color must be weatherwood or equivalent, and shingle design must be "architectural" (not 3-tab).  A shingle selection advisory is available at www.pineloch.org/acc_info/shingles.shtml.

• Do I need approval for fence replacement?
  Yes.  Requests will get quick approval if they meet three deed restriction requirements:
  1. Total fence height (including rot board if used) must not exceed 6 feet.
  2. Pickets must be cedar.
  3. Pickets must be dog-ear shape.

• Where can I get a form for the approval process?
  Forms are available from Community management Solutions 281-480-2563 or from the PCA website at www.pineloch.org/acc_info/accform.doc.

• The fence I share with my neighbor fell down. Who is responsible for repairing/replacing it?
  Fence along the property line between two homeowners is jointly owned.  Costs are generally shared 50/50.

• I've had to cut down the trees in my front yard.  Do I need to replace them?
  Generally speaking, yes.  The green impact of our trees adds significant value to our community.  Smaller cul-de-sac lots should have at least one tree and other lots should have two.  If you don't meet that criteria then you should replant.  You do NOT have to replant the same type (or size!) tree as the one you removed.  More info is available by doing a word search for "trees" at www.pineloch.org/acc_info/accguide.shtml.
