Proposed 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.
