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.

Hopefully your denial is something easy to rectify.

A little more work.... Search for your address on the ARC Agenda page. When you find the meeting where your request was considered there should be a document with the outcome and the reason for a denial. It might be handy to review the denial and then visit Community Standards or attend an ARC meeting.
