Appurtenances
UNDER RECONSTRUCTION
An "appurtenance" is anything that is added to, subtracted from, or in any way alters the exterior of a Casa Fiesta townhouse unit.
NOTE: Nothing presented on this page applies to the interior of the townhouse. A unit owner is free to make any change to the unit's interior as the owner sees fit.
Any appurtenance change to a unit's exterior may only be done by requesting an "appurtenance variance" from the Board of Directors. This page will guide a townhouse unit owner how to go about requesting an appurtenance variance.
This board-approval requirement stems from Casa Fiesta's Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R) document, Article VII that deals with architectural control.
“No exterior additions, or alterations to any building nor changes in fences, hedges, walls and other structures shall be commenced, erected, or maintained until the plans and specifications showing the nature, kind, shape, height, materials, location[,] and approximate cost of the same shall have been submitted to[,] and approved in writing as to conformity and harmony of external design and location with existing structures in the property by[,] an architectural committee composed of the Board of Directors, or by a representative designated by the Board.”
The following list mentions some common items that townhouse owners have requested appurtenance variances from the board in the past. The list is not all inclusive.
- Patio security fence and gate replacements of original chain link fencing
- Front door replacement
- Window replacements
- Patio door replacement
- Addition of a patio cover
- Front security door additions
- Addition of eave gutters and drainage
- Addition of exterior window awnings
For anyone considering replacement of a patio fence/gate or a front door, links are provided in the listing above that indicate what is acceptable to the board.
If an owner is in doubt as to whether an appurtenance variance request of the board is necessary, the owner should consult with the association's office to be sure, BEFORE PLANNING OR PROCEDING WITH ANY EXTERIOR ALTERATION.
