Architectural Review Committee

What is the Architectural Review Committee (ARC)?

ARC refers to three or more members of the Association appointed by the Board of Directors. The ARC has the responsibility to enforce the Standards in such a manner so as to preserve and enhance values. The ARC is also tasked to ensure a harmonious relationship among structures and the natural vegetation and topography.

It is the policy of Flint Hill Manor Townhouses Association to comply with applicable provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act and Virginia Fair Housing Law as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act in considering applications and requests for exterior alterations and improvements to lots within Flint Hill Manor.

Flint Hill Manor is a community subject to recorded covenants and restrictions administered by an incorporated association. The property within Flint Hill Manor was made subject to these covenants and restrictions for the stated purpose of enhancing property values, amenities and opportunities which contribute to the personal health, welfare and safety of residents. All residents benefit from the planning and design that have been an important part of the development and character of the Flint Hill Manor community. In an effort to carry on this tradition of excellence, the Flint Hill Manor (FHM) Townhouses Association Architectural Review Committee ("Guidelines") have been developed and implemented. The purpose of design control is to assure residents that the standards of design quality will be maintained. Design controls also help to minimize the effects of dense living. These standards, in turn, protect property values and enhance the overall environment of the community.

These standards are designed to address exterior improvements and alterations made by FHM property owners. Interior alterations are outside the scope of the Guidelines except when such interior alterations affect the exterior appearance of a property (for example, window muntins).

The authority for the adoption of rules and standards for architectural control by the Board of Directors of Flint Hill Manor Townhouses Association is found in Article IX in the By-Laws of the Flint Hill Manor Townhouses Association.
