All changes to the exterior of your home or to your property must be reviewed and approved by the Blackthorne Estates Architecture Review Committee (ARC) PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION/INSTALLATION.  Submitting an ARC request is easy. First, complete the ARC Change Request Form which is available in either MS Word or .pdf formats at http://www.blackthorneestates.org/documents.  If you have provided with your initial request all of the pertinent information described above, the ARC committee review should be complete within 7 days. Incomplete requests and requests that require a site visit, verification of state, county or city codes and/or an interpretation of the Declaration of Restrictions by the Board can take up to 30 days.
