Architectural Control Committee (ACC) FAQ’s
Q: For what projects do I need to get written approval from
the ACC?
A: Sheds, sun rooms, porches, porch roofing, patio/driveway
extensions, paving projects, stone
and brick projects, pergolas, arbors, gazebos, green houses, playhouses
(non-movable), pools,
drainage, retaining walls, fences, roofs, roof vents, landscaping changes
(see below), sport
courts, basketball goals, exterior painting and staining,
additions/modifications to the residence
and most other nontemporary changes to a lot or residence.
Q: Do I need to get approval for my landscaping
changes?
A: You DO need ACC approval:
• If you are constructing new flower/landscape beds or planting in new
locations.
• If you are removing and not replacing plants.
• If you are changing the size, shape or dimensions of your flower/landscape
beds.
• If you are installing borders on your flower/landscape beds.
• If your changes would affect the irrigation or drainage on your lot or
your neighbors’ lots.
• If you are planting in easements or drainage swales.
You do NOT need ACC approval:
• If you are replanting/replacing undesired, damaged, or dead plants
with like or similar plants of the same variety.
• If you are updating/replacing seasonal plants.
• If you are mulching, mowing, weeding, trimming or any other type of
maintenance activity designed to keep your yard and landscaping in a
healthy, neat, and attractive manner.
Q: Do I need a permit from the City of Fort Worth if I
already got written approval from the ACC?
A: Building, encroachment and other permits from the
city are often required in addition to approval from the ACC. Building
and encroachment permits may be required for new construction,
remodeling, repair and additions, roofs, encroachments, swimming pools,
retaining walls, borders, arbors, pergolas, gazebos, sheds, and signs.
The burden is on the owner to inquire whether a city permit is
required.
Q: What do I need to submit to get written approval for
my application?
A: A completed Modification Request Form, a detailed
description of your project, any plans, drawings, pictures, materials,
dimensions, specifications necessary for the ACC to understand the scope
of your project and a copy of your plot plan/improvement survey showing
your lot, residence, easements, property lines and location of your
proposed project.
Q: Who can I contact if I have questions?
A: You can e-mail acc@quailridge2.com
