The work will be done September 2023. The artist came to the house and we settled on a design. A very simple light beige, a little lighter than house color, with a palm tree shadow/silhouette in the middle. I would call it “elegant.” As for ARC approval, the artist left that to me. I submitted the application and drawing. We are more than two months since submission. I called and wrote couple times, no answer. Today I noticed they answer on a website. I located my application. Their response. Denied. Reason “not allowed.” I will appeal, I guess. Has anyone appealed here? Thought I was going to improve my property and all around. Saddened.
I personally would go down and talk to the ARC in person - Perhaps the denial is over something easy to correct (like needing additional documents or photos) - if you attend the ARC hearing in person, you can sometimes answer any questions they have, rather than receive a “denial” and having to start the process all over. Hopefully your denial is something easy to rectify.
