BEFORE YOU BUILD FLYER

Architectural Educational Committee (AEC) formerly known as
Architectural Control Committee
suggestions per the
DECLARATIONS OF PROTECTIVE RESTRICTIONS (DOPR)

Before starting any construction please check below information. If there's a conflict, your DOPR'S supersede notations on your PLAT MAP. The DOPR'S can be more stringent than county requirements. In that case, you can be held legally accountable for the DOPR requirements by other property owners. Some lots have HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS, ALL LOTS have specific property line SET-BACK REQUIREMENTS and/or UTILITY EASEMENTS for their Addition/Block/Lot. The roads were not built as wide as their recorded right-of-ways and can meander.  The full recorded ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAYS are Ranch owned property. You may not build on them. You may be able to obtain a variance from a DOPR requirement by filing a document with the county verifying written approval by 65% of the property owners in your Addition/BLOCK. Variances are not the AEC's responsibility. It's always smart to talk to your neighbor before you build!

On all new residential construction:

1.  Property owners need to provide the AEC with the following:

A)  Property set back information specific to their addition/ block/lot as well as DOPR'S given in their closing documents at the purchase of their property.
B)  A set of construction plans.
C)  A completed construction form given to the AEC with your signature.
D)  Lots marked "S" on the PLAT MAP are eligible to be connected to a COMMUNITY DRAIN FIELD . A $1000 deposit, quarterly fee, county approval and Drainfield Committee review MUST happen before you can hook up. Drain field access is subject to limit capacities, state and county regulations.  Thus, there are no guarantees to a “right of access.” All drain field access must be permitted and meet county /state regulations in additions to Four Season Ranch’s requirements. 

2.  Structures you should talk to the AEC about:

A)  Exterior additions to existing dwellings.
B)  Second floor decks.
C)  Garages.
D)  Any structure extending beyond the set-back lines.


3.  Structures not authorized

A) No buildings which violate the DOPR's of a specific Block/Addition/Lot.
B) No Mobile/Modular homes.
C) No structures intended for housing animals, livestock or poultry.

4.  Items not requiring AEC review. If the construction is:

A) Within your Addition/Block/Lot set-backs.
B) You are not blocking your neighbors view.
C) You are complying with height, set-back, right-of-way, and/or easement, including utility restrictions for your lot.

EXAMPLES
remodeling within existing home with no exterior changes
patios
ground level decks
landscaping

EXAMPLES
fences/screens not exceeding 6 feet in height
bird houses and feeders
wood sheds and stacks
green houses
hot tubs and enclosures 6 feet or under

NOTE: Review of plans from the AEC/Board DOES NOT release one from the obligation to obtain Clallam County building permits as well as compliance with your own DECLARATIONS OF PROTECTIVE RESTRICTIONS.
