Case 22-12
Division Somerset Add (S)

In 2022, one of the applicants from Case 21-41 became a member of the Covenants Review Committee (CRC).

The applicants submitted another request to remodel their home with a second story addition.

The uphill neighbors hired an attorney to write a letter to the CRC voicing their objection to the remodel application and referencing the violations of the Covenants and View Guidelines.

See the attorney’s letter

After the CRC consulted with their own longstanding attorney who helped write the View Guidelines, they denied the remodel application due to:

  • Scale of the proposed structure in comparison to surrounding neighbors.

  • Effect of the proposed structure to uphill neighbor territorial views.

  • Failure to make a significant change in height from initial review.

  • Lack of harmony with style and size of adjacent properties.

  • The unsuitability of a 2-story structure on that specific lot (located at the base of a hill with access through a privately-owned easement/roadway).
