Design Guidelines
Parks of Plaquemines
Purpose - Parks of Plaquemines Subdivision (the "Subdivision")
is a unique community of custom designed homes. To insure
the community's high standards, a plan review process will
be established to review all individual building plans.
The authority to approve, disapprove or recommend
modifications to building plans will be provided by the recorded
Declaration of Restrictions (the "Declaration") for the Subdivision.
The Declaration will not list specific design items necessary
for plan approval
but will create the Parks Homeowners Association with authority
to review and approve or disapprove all individual building
plans.
These Design Guidelines include without limitation,
overall house image, scale, proportion and details along with
appropriate and reasonable standards for all aspects of design,
materials and finishes, such that, overall house image, scale,
proportion, details, materials and finishes are desirable,
appropriate and of the quality and character which the Committee
deems are compatible with the standards and character of the
homes in the subdivision, and the Committee may exclude any
such overall house images,
scale, proportions, details, exterior finishes or materials
which it deems undesirable or which, in its discretion, detracts
from the value of the home or the surrounding homes or the
general appearance or value of adjacent structures or the
neighborhood. The Committee's vision and desires are intended
to encourage design creativity that ensures individual yet
compatible design character throughout the entire development.
While each home design proposed will be reviewed based upon
the criteria contained within
the Design Guidelines, it is important to acknowledge that
each submittal will also be reviewed based upon how well it
relates to
and supports the overall goal of creating a compatible street
scape and fits within the overall neighborhood. It is through
understanding and then implementing the desired appropriate
character that the quality and value of the overall neighborhood
along with the financial investment of each homeowner may
be maximized. The Committee will seek to encourage the creation
of aesthetically harmonious relationships among the homes
within the Subdivision and between the particular lot and
home. The Committee will encourage the development of a Subdivision
of outstanding architectural statements, and the repetition
of home designs will be limited. The Committee will encourage
homeowners to have homes designed which have not been previously
used in the Subdivision. No similar house
exterior designs within the a line of vision of a like design
will be allowed. No Contemporary, Victorian or Spanish styles
will be accepted. Only Classic, Time Tested, Regional, Traditional,
Historic styles will be accepted.
