Lot SplitsTurns out there is no rules on lot splits except to say that the semiannual dues are split in half for the two owner of a split lot. That said, I believe we should add 4-4-41 in the Architectural Section of our Handbook
and
or has a payment plan that will bring them current in
no more than 12 months, and have made at least 3 monthly payments on time. If at any time the payments are not met, the member will no longer be considered a
member in good standing.
4-4-41 Proposed lot splits must be presented to the Architectural Committee along with re-drawn, surveyor signed plot plans
including existing structures. The Board of Directors are the final
approval for all split lots.

Minimum Square Footage for New Homes
As we discussed, we want homes build that are no less than 1,200 square feet on the first floor living area footprint, excluding the garage. This is what we have now and my suggestion for placement is highlighted.4-5-7. New Houses Require Submission of Plot Plans
All new houses require HVL POA Architecture Committee approval prior to being constructed. When applying for approval, a plot plan stamped by a registered Indiana surveyor consisting of the following information shall be submitted:
a. Location of house on the lot showing the distances to all property lines.
b. Elevation of all corners.
c. Exterior dimensions of house including overhang and any decks or porches.

space on the main floor excluding the garage. A variance may be

• Request a motion approving a change to the By-Laws limiting the size of a detached building/garage to 50 percent of the main floor living area square footage or 900 square feet, whichever is less. (First Reading)
Maximum Size of Dethatched Building
Per discussion, we are looking to reduce the size of detached buildings regardless if they are sheds or garages. I propose we put the rule in section 4-17 and that it be worded as follows.
4-17-8 Detached structures can be no larger than 50 percent of the existing home footprint, excluding garage, not to exceed 900 square feet. Materials used must be the same as those used on the existing
residence and must be non-industrial materials.
4-17-9 All detached structures over 200 square feet require an Indiana licensed surveyor stamp and must be staked out by the
same surveyor.
