Plan Review

PURPOSE

The purpose of reviewing your house plans is to assure consistency of design, and provide quality construction in harmony with the other dwellings in the development. This process should not only protect values but also enhance them for everyone in the development. We have taken great care in the planning and design of Cobblestone Subdivision to make it like no other residential development in Putnam County. We have tried to protect nature while providing a quality environment for your family to live in.

The following outline should guide you in complying with Section XII in the Covenants & Restrictions applicable to all lots in Cobblestone Subdivision, Phase I, for submittal, review, and approval of plans.

REVIEW PROCESS

  1. Preliminary Submittal - (At Time of Purchase)
  2. Complete Plans Submittal - (Min.30 Days Before Construction)
  3. Approval or Denial - (In 30 Days Or Less)
  4. Begin Construction
  5. Inspection During Construction
  6. Completion of Construction - (Final Inspection)

Cobblestone Subdivision, LLC, the Developers, expect the submittal and review process to be a simple, uncomplicated procedure, similar to the diagram shown above. After the purchase of a lot, the new owners would provide the Architectural Board with a preliminary idea of the type of dwelling they expect to build, usually with a set of house plans or a sketch from a book of plans. Once this is approved, at least 30 days or more prior to beginning construction, complete plans should be submitted to the Cobblestone Subdivision Architectural Board for review. Every effort will be made to complete the review in less than the thirty-day period provided in the Protective Covenants. However, a complete submittal shall be required to begin the thirty-day period.

COBBLESTONE SUBDIVISION ARCHITECTURAL BOARD

The Architectural Board, an official arm of the Developers of Cobblestone Subdivision, will exercise its sole authority and responsibility for granting or denying approvals. When needed, professionals in the fields of real estate, design, landscaping, engineering, and related fields, will be consulted by the Architectural Board. Decisions made by the Architectural Board will be binding upon the lot owner, in accordance with the Protective Covenants of Cobblestone Subdivision, Phase I.

SUBMITTAL CONTENT

All Complete Submittals must include the following:

  1. Submittal Information Sheet, filled-in as completely as possible.
  2. Complete Set of House Plans including SITE PLAN showing:
    1. Location of all improvements on the site.
    2. Details of all improvements (drive, walks, fences, patios, courts, pools, decks, out-buildings, etc.)
    3. Elevations & Drainage details.
    4. Proposed location of septic tank or aerator.
    5. Sample sketch or idea of Landscape Design, if available; and FINAL WORKING DRAWINGS Showing: Floor plans, elevations, & exterior details, as well as electrical & plumbing details. (All drawings that constitute contract documents)

All plans submitted to the Board should be the same that would be submitted for a building permit. Color samples or swatches of exterior materials to be used, such as paint or stain colors, etc., may be requested by the Cobblestone Subdivision Architectural Board.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONCEPTS NOT IN THE COVENANTS

The Cobblestone Subdivision Architectural Board intends to make every effort to approve your house for construction, or to make recommendations which would help to make it comply with our requirements. In general, the types of styles we will approve would include classical or contemporary home plans, as long as they are done in a tasteful, authentic manner, which does not detract from the natural surroundings, or is perceived by the board to be inappropriate to the adjacent dwellings.
