ACC

No, this isn't a basketball post ... though Big 10 fans, you're down this year.

Instead, this is about one of the most exciting changes for Homecoming. With the changing of the calendar also came a changing of the guard. The board has taken over the administration of architectural and community standards. The Architectural Control Committee, led by resident Don Harrington, will be monitoring several important things to keep our community up to the levels we all expect. Their duties will include:

1. Approving any architectural changes
This sounds small, but if you're looking to add anything with any permanence -- a fence, a basketball goal, or make noticeable changes to the exterior of your home, you are required to get approval first. Failure to do so is ... well, it's bad, so don't do it! You should have the forms handy and turn them in to Main Street Management.

2. Monitoring standards
This goes hand in hand with the first one, but makes sure everyone is up to the community minimums on landscaping. This is a problem area and one that will be addressed. If you haven't got your trees, shrubs, and grass up to standards, it's not too early to plan out what you're going to do when springtime comes.

3. Monitoring violations
This is pretty self-explanatory and hopefully, we won't have to get into this one too much.

Thanks to Don and the rest of the committee. We'll have more information after their first meeting next week.
