Architectural Review

Hermitage covenants state that you MUST get approval for certain modifications to your property BEFORE work begins. This approval is obtained by submitting your project to Elite Housing Management for review. Neglecting this could result in a fine.
 
Expedited Reviews:
These forms guide you to provide answers needed to expedite the review process. Elite will begin a review based on the submitted form.
 
For All Other Reviews:
Use your Elite Online Portal to submit a new review. Or you may still use the old method.
 
 What to expect:
After you start a new Architectural Review (or Elite begins one for you), Elite may request additional documents if needed for the review. Once received, Elite notifies your Hermitage Architectural Committee to review and they send their recommendation to your Hermitage Board of Directors to make a final decision. You will receive a decision within 30 days.  Specific guidelines for what may be approved 
 
Reviews are required for but not limited to:
  • addition or alteration to the exterior of your home or structure.
  • additional structures such as a fence, shed, gazebo, or pool.
  • modification to a structure that would change its function, or its appearance as viewed by neighboring properties.
  • any project that could negatively affect drainage to another property.
  • any work that could result in commercial vehicles, storage/waste bins, or PODS being temporarily located within Hermitage.
 The above also applies to maintenance & restoration projects 
 
Examples of projects requiring review: replacing roof; extending driveway; adding fence gate; removing shutters
 
Examples of projects that do NOT require review: replacing a/c unit; repainting doors or trim w/same color; replacing fence pickets w/same style
 
Landscaping projects need review if the project:
  • could negatively affect drainage to another property.
  • could result in commercial vehicles being temporarily parked within Hermitage.
  • involves addition of a raised structure such as a pergola.
  • could eventually obstruct traffic signs or sight lines.
