In general any changes to the outside of the house, landscaping, etc need ARC approval, so I would contact them just to be safe. The comment regarding a permit is interesting, I know we had to have a permit for the lanai enclosure and part of this was the hurricane rating for the windows and sliders so there may be a similar requirement for the exterior doors. You can call the local building department for the specific requirements.
