Architectural Control Information Fact Sheet and Checklist All construction in Highland Ranch is subject to approval of an Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The plans for such construction must be submitted and approved IN ADVANCE of any construction. The lot owner must submit two sets of all plans and specifications. Both sets will be signed by ACC; one will be returned to owner and one will be retained by ACC. ACC approval must be obtained prior to any changes or additions to the plot plan, architectural design, outbuilding, fencing, pools, decks, gazebos, etc. Below is a list of minimum requirements for plan. Any plan not meeting these requirements will be returned unapproved. Requirements for Plan: A. Plot plan this plan should indicate the following:
- Actual lot size drawn to scale with dimensions.
- Actual house drawn to scale with dimensions to all lot boundaries.
- Exact locations of all driveways & walks.
- Easements and setbacks from the subdivision plat.
- This subdivision is in the Cross Lake Water Shed. Silting and drainage is a vital part of the Caddo Parish requirements. Please show a site drainage plan and how you will control erosion and silting.
B. Elevations Submit elevations showing front view of home as well as all side and rear views. As nearly as possible, the elevations should show the public views of the structure as it would appear when complete. These elevations should be drawn by a professional service. C. Floor plan Professionally drawn floor plan where the main reason is that it meets the required minimum square footage of 1500 square feet in Summerwood Subdivision and 2000 square feet in Cherry Hill Subdivision and accurately shows the layout of the house.
