The purpose of the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is to review the proposed plans for compliance with the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCR) of Round Tree Estates Association.
The board performs two principal areas of review:
1. First, compliance with the technical aspects of the CCR is determined, such as minimum square footage of the dwelling, setback lines etc.
2. Second, compliance with the aesthetic aspects of the CCR, such as desirable architectural design, roof pitch and design, quality and type of finished materials, color of house and shingles, etc. Plans will be approved only if they meet and adhere to the CCR. Refer to the CCR prior to submitting plans.
You will be notified in writing of our approval or rejection within two weeks from the date the committee receives your complete plan proposal as described below.
1) One set of plans must be submitted for review, and must include at a minimum:
1. Signed, completed design review form (this document).
2. Comply with “RTE Architectural Review Standards” (Obtain recent copy from ADC committee member).
3. $2000 Refundable Deposit must accompany this application
a) A refundable construction deposit of $2000.—is required and payable to RTE Home Owners Association Inc. Strict compliance of the Associations CC&R’s and Design Guidelines is required during the construction of the home for a full refund of the construction deposit which may be subject to the collection of sanctions upon final review. The builder must submit a current certificate of insurance to the RTE Homeowners Association Inc. with this form.
b) Deposits are required anytime a County building permit is required that affects the exterior of the home.
2) Lot Clearing: Clearing and grading cannot commence until your request has received approval by the
ARC. Any further additions to the lot cannot be made without submitting plans and receiving approval from the ARC. Any deviations from the above two statements will be a violation of the CCR.
3) Ongoing Construction: As your construction progresses, periodic inspections will be made by members of the ARC to note any deviations from the approved plans by the builder or owner. Under unusual circumstances, if needed changes arise during construction; such desired changes are to be requested in writing to the ARC.
During the course of construction gravel must be cleaned up (frequently) off the road, if need the ARC will use part of the deposit to hire a sweeper. Keep in mind this is not just in front of the house site but also the entire road as often the trucks will dump gravel on the way out.
This application is valid for 2 year from the date the ARC’s dated approval letter for new construction and 6 months for remodeling. If new construction has not begun during that period of time a new application will be required. If construction of a building has not begun within one year after ARC’s approval the original deposit will be refunded.
All checks written for the ARC application and fees shall be made payable to Round Tree Estates Association. Submit this completed Application with all required documentation to:

Under no circumstances can any exterior changes be made without this approval.
