If you are considering any building project in Hidden Valley Lake, you will need POA Architecture Committee approval prior to construction. This applies to the following:
• New home
• Addition to home
• Detached garage
• Docks
• Retaining walls
• Swimming pool
• Structures attached to existing deck, house, shed or detached garage
Performance Bonds
New home construction projects require a building permit fee and a cash bond when plans are submitted for approval. Smaller projects may also require payment of a performance bond. The performance bond is returnable upon completion if all conditions are met.
Variance Requests
For discussion on any variance requests, the Architecture Committee will schedule an ad hoc meeting. The meeting will be open to the public and announced via Keep In Touch. The committee will follow variance procedures as described in the HVL POA Bylaws, Rules & Regulations. The POA Board of Directors has final approval of any variance requests.
