ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW APPLICATION PROCESS

 

  1. The applicant must complete an “Application for Construction or Modification to Lot” to the Architectural Review Committee of the Arnell Creek Homeowners Association (ACHOA). The PDF Printable Form, as well as the Online Submission Form, can be found in the DOCUMENTS Section ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW Section on this website. The applicant should submit the application and supporting documentation:

    • By email to ArnellCreek@gmail.com, by submitting the Online Form, or

    • By regular mail to the ACHOA at 9 Arnell Drive, Rehoboth Beach, DE  19971, or

    • By hand-delivering the paperwork to the Chair of the Architectural Review Committee.

  2. The Architectural Review Committee will review the application and supporting documentation. If additional information is needed, a representative of the committee will contact the applicant to secure that information.

    • The primary goal of the Architectural Review Committee is to help the applicant develop a plan that is pleasing to the applicant, and yet compliant to Arnell Creek’s current “Declaration of Restrictions” and applicable state and county regulations. 

  3. It is the committee’s goal to render a decision within thirty (30) days of receipt of a complete application. The Architectural Review Committee itself can approve simple requests, and the turnaround time will be much shorter than that. More complex requests may be taken to the full ACHOA Board for its consideration and vote.

  4. Once an application has been approved, an approval notice will be mailed or hand-delivered to the applicant for their records.

  5. If the project requires a building permit from the County, the homeowner will supply a copy of the permit to the committee before work commences.

  6. Upon completion of the project, a committee representative will meet with the applicant to inspect the project for compliance to the approved plan.

    • If the project conforms to the plan submitted, a notice of compliance will be provided to the applicant.

    • If the project does not conform to the plan submitted, a correction action plan will be developed.
