Construction Deposits and Design Approval Costs
A deposit of $5,000.00 must be submitted
to the Developer before final Design Approval is granted. $2,000.00
from this deposit will be returned to the Owner within 30 days

and the Design Guidelines set out above and approved by the
Developer. The landscaping must be completed within 18 months

must accompany submission. A preview is advised prior to submission.
