Appeal to the Covenants Committee

Did you read the Covenants Committee report to the Board, which is part of the April 1, 2025 Board meeting Minutes? 

The second paragraph of the Report read, "Covenants Committee reviewing 4 201-forms that were denied and discussing further with homeowners. 1 [sic] was a plastic shed that the homeowners never received the letter of denial, with that not being received within the 45days [sic] of review of application, the homeowner is granted the right to keep shed."

That is NOT correct.

The homeowner is NOT entitled to keep the plastic shed, regardless of denial letter not received within 45 days.

The Summit's Modifications Committee Guidelines (§22, ¶2) are crystal clear. No plastic sheds are allowed.

The homeowner never should have submitted the Form 201 in the first place. When he did, the office should have informed him that plastic sheds are not permitted under the Guidelines.

While the Modifications Committee could have issued a denial letter (and probably should have), not issuing it does not change the rule. The Modifications could not have approved a plastic shed, even if it had wanted to do so. There was nothing "to deny".

The correct decision by the Covenants Committee will be to tell the homeowner that a plastic shed is not permitted and that, if it has already been erected, it must be removed.

If the Covenants Committee does not tell the homeowner that his shed is not permitted, the matter will go to the Board for a decision. It should take them about 30 seconds to decide. No plastic shed!
