Application for Approval of Exterior Modifications

 

Process

  1. Submit application (including preliminary plan or sketch) to SRCA President as early as possible.

  2. The Community Committee will review and vote on each application as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days after the first day of the next succeeding month after an application has been received (see “Seminary Ridge Subdivision: Deed of Restrictions and Covenants,” §4). Most routine applications can be responded to within two weeks.

  3. Following approval by the Community Committee and notification to that effect, the applicant (or its contractor) should apply to the City of Alexandria for any and all appli- cable permits. All approvals by the Community Committee are conditioned upon all City of Alexandria permit and other requirements being met.

  4. Upon approval by the SRCA Community Committee and the City of Alexandria (if re- quired), the project should be started and completed expeditiously, and with due re- gard for the sensibilities of contiguous neighbors.
