Architectural Application Request Process

Remodel – Additions Submission Guidelines

Although the rights of private ownership are respected as legally required, property ownership at SVM requires cooperation with the concept of community and compliance with the governing documents and By-Laws established by the Board. The Spring Valley Manor Property Owner Association’s (Association) governing documents require the Board’s approval before a Spring Valley Manor (SVM) Member may make a physical improvement or modification to the original footprint of a SVM Member’s property. The Board has adopted this Architectural Application and Approval Process for SVM Members to utilize as listed below.

Architectural Submission Process:

  1. Review all relevant SVM documents to make sure your desired changes fit within the guidelines of the community.
  2. Print and complete Architectural Application & Process form.
  3. Submit completed form via email to info@springvalleymanor.com or in person or via email to the Board President.
  4. Please include all relevant information including where the proposed changes will be located in relation to your home’s footprint and the various city setback lines, a list of materials, the identity and contact information for your contractor(s), and any relevant samples or pictures you can include. Remember the more information you include, the more likely it will be approved by the committee.
  5. The final step is perhaps the most challenging…waiting. Once the committee has made a decision, a member of the Board will contact you. After you have received approval from the committee, happy building.
