Default Screen in the carport on new Nest Patio Villa????

There are new models of the patio villa that feature a carport and overhang instead of a garage and Lanai. The Nest, Haven, Retreat, and Utopia are the models listed by the villages website. These models are about $30,000 less than the conventional patio villa with a garage. Considering I am a snowbird I have really no need for a full-size garage… Especially in the summer months when I am gone. There is a small garage to house my golf cart.
It would not be that difficult to screen in these areas and turn it into a large "lanai". I'm wondering if this would require an architectural change request from the CDD given there is no area that would be extending beyond the existing roof line. I would be simply constructing an aluminum framework and then filling that area with a screen. Maybe there is a CDD member who could weigh in on this.
Thoughts???
