Roger Heland pleaded his case before the ACC. He wants to help his sister build a house in the Village.
There was just one new home permit considered by the architectural control committee last week. It was denied a permit.
The home, 001-06 Argomaniz at 12 Viajero Way is being built by Carmela Canale with the help of her contractor brother. Canale has no building experience but her brother Roger Heland does. He is a contractor in California but not in Arkansas.
According to the State of Arkansas Contractor Board, a homeowner can build their own home as contractor but an unlicensed party can not build the house for the homeowner. For Canale to contract her own home she would have to be on site during construction when any decision is made regarding electrical and plumbing. The brother plans to build the house with the exception of installing the HVAC system.
There was a problem with the plot plan submitted with the permit application. The plot plan was cited as one of two reasons why the permit was denied. The other problem was with the funds available to build the home. A performance bond will be required if the permit is to be granted. Canale has only put aside $76,000 for construction materials and labor to build her 1,852 square foot home. Her brother insists that is sufficient funding.
Members of the ACC are concerned the project could be halted for lack of funds with the house standing incomplete. Heland said that won’t happen but committee members want more than assurances.
If Heland and Canale re-submit the permit with a proper plot plan and a performance bond the committee will reconsider its decision.
In other business before the committee, three assignments were considered.
014-04 Perfecto / 43 Perfecto Way / David Lumber/storage building
Leland Kew considered this permit application for a storage building. There is no hardship but the homeowner is requesting the building be set in the easement. The committee denied the permit as written. If the homeowner reconsiders the location of the storage building and re-submits his permit the committee will reconsider. There will be additional screening required in the suggested relocation area.
023-02 Teurel / 4 Alina Lane / Robert Perez/fence
Mike Christy reviewed this permit application for a fence. His only concern was the spacing on the pickets on the pre-fab Lowe’s fence. If the spacing paces muster the permit was approved.
015-11 Santa Maria / 2 Silla Lane / Benton Fence/fence
Bob Kostelecky considered this permit application for a fence. There were no problems, the fence met all Village criteria. The permit was approved.
The entire committee considered a request for a variance at 005-07 / 7 Ballobar Trail / Paul Wagner/variance for home to encroach into the 25 foot building setback. There is a problem with one corner of the garage extending into the easement. There is no hardship. It was suggested the house is too big for the lot. The permit was denied as requested.
There was one request for a sign by Lefler Dental / 130 Cordoba Center Drive. The sign has a cream background with black letter. It meets all Village criteria. The permit was approved by consensus.
The ACC will meet next on August 19 at 8:30 a.m. at the POA administration building on DeSoto Boulevard.
