Back to homepage

Generally all exterior modifications to units require prior written approval by the Association. The following pre-approved items are the exception to the rule:

Installation of a beige storm door. A brass kick plate is allowed.

The only Association approved storm doors are:

    • Trapp Model #108 (one piece glass or screen), beige color only
    • Trapp Model #108 Self Storing (two piece glass and screen), beige color only.
    • Fox Weldoor #108 (one piece glass or screen), beige color only.
    • Fox Weldoor #21-SS-08 Self Storing (two piece glass and screen), beige color only
    • Larson brand, Tradewinds Clear Fullview, Retractable Screen Storm Door, almond color only.

The co-owner has full responsibility for maintenance, repair and replacement of the door, glass, screen, hardware, weather stripping and door closer.

Installation of additional electrical outlets at the rear of the unit, provided that the work is done by a licensed contractor who carries General Liability and Workers’ Compensation insurance. These outlets may not be tied in with the common electricity; a co-owner found to be in violation of this restriction will be responsible for the cost of restoring the common electricity wiring, which will be done at the direction of the Association.

Installation of frost-free water spigots to the unit, provided that the work is done by a licensed contractor who carries General Liability and Workers’ Compensation insurance. The Association will have no responsibility for these spigots.

Installation of a keypad for the garage door opener, on the wooden frame of the garage door.

Installation of lighting on porches and along the sidewalk between the sidewalk and the garage, around the patio or deck in the rear of the unit, at the co-owner’s risk.

Installation of a front light sensor; any sensor that inserts into the current light fixture at the front entrance is allowed.

Use of a hook for hanging baskets of flowers or plants, or for hanging wind chimes, provided that the hook is fastened to the wood part of the unit. Use of a nail or fastener for attaching decorations within three feet of the entry door, provided that the attachment is to the wood part of the unit.

Use of a nail for hanging a wreath during the holiday season (see the Handbook section on Holiday decorations), provided that the nail is in the wood part of the unit.
