Gulf Place @ Santa Rosa Beach--Architecural Review Committee--Review Board Rules?????

[Tom at BV]

I like Gulf Place & thinking about purchasing an empty lot, but reading their ARB-Architectural Review Board, rules & regulations, it scares the bee jeekies out of me. They have a $10K strick Compliance Deposit Refund Schedule with the ARB committee ruling on every construction day to day operation. Is this a typical construction issue up & down 30-A??? If it is run, run away. Comments please

Design Review Boards are pretty typical in planned communities such as Watercolor/Watersound, Rosemary and Alys Beach. Even the little community I live in, Seabreeze, has a DRB. Some are more restrictive than others but the general idea is to coordinate the style, building materials (roofs etc ), color pallet, size of building on lot size, towers etc. to maintain a "theme" throughout the community. Not for everybody and probably does add to the costs but the results can be a positive for the community at large.

Tom, can you share with me the ARB rules? I'll have my builder friend look at them.

DC in SRB,
Thanks for your help. I can't get Gulf Place ARB documents to post. If you send me a PM to my email # I'll send the attachment.
