Section 2 - Architectural Committee

Section 2 adds the following language to the restrictions already in place:

"If the Architectural Committee does not respond to submitted building plans, specifications, plot plans and requests for waivers within thirty days after the same are submitted to it, the submitted building plans, specifications, plot plans and requests for waivers will be deemed denied."

Essentially, the Architectural Committee could simply ignore a homeowner's first request, forcing a homeowner to submit a second request. Arguably they can ignore that request as well. And the next. And the next. The restriction provides an appeal process for a "decision" by the Architectural Committee. It does not provide any recourse for a homeowner who has simply been ignored.

The onus should not be on a homeowner to resubmit their request. It should be on the Board to respond to it.
