Design Guidelines and Architectural Review Process

Welcome Homeowners.  This page is dedicated to providing Biltmore Park residents with a brief synopsis of the Design Guidelines and Architectural Review Process that apply to all property owners and builders within Biltmore Park.

The purpose of the Design Guidelines is to serve as a minimum set of standards for the community.  They outline, illustrate and define design objectives to achieve the high quality and the desired character of Biltmore Park.  The Design Guidelines supplement other documents requiring compliance, such as the Master Development Plan and the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions which require each owner to obtain approval prior to starting any construction of a new home, any addition to or modification of an existing home, or installation of a new landscaping plan.

The Architectural Review Process is the means by which the Design Guidelines are met.  A committee, called the Architectural Control Committee (ACC), meets once a month to review submitted Architectural Modification Request Forms and plans with the assistance of Professional Architects and Land Planners.   All costs incurred during this process are covered by the applicant.  Presently, the Fee Schedule is as follows:

• Structures MORE than 1,000 sq-ft (form required)................. $1,500 application fee ^{note 1, 2, 3}

• Structures LESS than 1,000 sq-ft (form required)........................... no application fee ^{note 1, 2,3}

• Landscaping Improvements (form required) ................................. no application fee  ^{note 1, 2,3}

• Fences and Walls (form required)................................................... no application fee  ^{note 1, 2,3}

• Tree Removals/Installations (form required)................................. no application fee  ^{note 1, 2,3}

• Playground Areas (form required)................................................. no application fee  ^{note 1, 2,3}

Note 1: Collection of a construction damage deposit, to be held in an Association account, may be required. This deposit will be refundable to the applicant at the conclusion of the project after a final site inspection and ACC has issued a deposit release.

 

Note 2: Applications that require use of outside professionals, as determined by the ACC, will be at an additional fee to the applicant, which must be paid in advance of professional services being contracted.

 

Note 3: Additional fees may also apply to rushed requests, overnight fees and other mailing fees, and ACC requested professional architectural reviews.  Emergency site visits may incur an hourly charge  (currently $50/hour; time and one-half for nights and weekends).

To start the process an Architectural Modification Request Form form must be completed and submitted to the ACC (c/o of the property manager) along with the fee (if applicable) and/or Construction Damage Deposit (if applicable). 

An electronic copy of the Architectural Modification Request Form, Architectural Modification Completion Form,  Design & Development Guidelines, and Design Standards for Decks/Fences & Recommended Plants List can be downloaded from this webpage or  you may obtain a copy by contacting the property manager. 

After you have reviewed the guidelines, completed the form and submitted it along with pertinent drawings and a check (if applicable) payable  to the Biltmore Park Association, Inc., the process begins.  Once your submittal has been reviewed by the ACC, a letter of approval or denial will be sent to you.
