Architectural Control Committee (ACC)
To contact the ACC for exterior changes, please email mycharterhoaacc@gmail.com

The Charter (Lone Tree Filing 1) ACC was formed to ensure that exterior changes made to properties and the maintenance of properties within The Charter adhere to the covenants for Lone Tree Filing 1. This involves interpreting the covenants for intent to make decisions and assess compliance. To this end, guidelines are developed and will be posted here, from time to time, to explain what may or may not be permitted relative to property changes and use. Maintaining / improving the value and aesthetics of properties is of utmost importance. In addition to reviewing requests for property changes, the ACC will also monitor the exterior condition of properties, notifying owners and residents if maintenance, such as painting or weed control, is necessary.

ACC meetings are scheduled once a month, but may take place more or less frequently as activities warrant. Please check with any ACC member for current schedule and meeting location.

* May be referred to as the architectural control committee or architectural review committee.
