Architectural Rules
Yachtsman’s Point is a planned community of single-family, custom-built homes situated on the picturesque High Rock Lake. Each building lot presents multiple building and design opportunities that are unique to their orientation, terrain, and topography. The Architectural Rules and Requirements are designed to:
- Provide clear and consistent rules for constructing new homes or making improvements to existing ones,
- Safeguard property values and preserve the natural beauty throughout the neighborhood, and
- Enforce the Yachtsman’s Point Homeowners’ Association governing documents.
Every property owner in Yachtsman’s Point is responsible for ensuring the natural beauty of our neighborhood and maintaining local property values. To assist in doing this, members must:
- Read, become very familiar and comply with all of the YPHOA governing documents, including the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions, (DCC&Rs), Bylaws, Architectural and General Property Rules and Requirements, and Recreational Facilities Rules and Requirements.
- Submit all necessary plans and specifications for new construction or improvement projects and receive ARC approval BEFORE beginning any work. (DCC&Rs Article V (c) & (d))
- Make sure that contractors and sub-contractors are fully aware of the rules and requirements for construction and improvement projects.
- Seek clarification from the ARC (yphoa.arc@gmail.com) on any areas of uncertainty before proceeding forward.
