The goal of the Architectural Review Board (ARB) is to create a unique but architecturally compatible and ecologically sensitive community through the consistent application and administration of the Architectural Guidelines, in a professional and timely manner.
ARB Benefits for Homeowners - The Belfair ARB is committed to preserving and enhancing the Belfair Lifestyle. Each project is reviewed toward ensuring that each home is part of a total neighborhood and not an individual creation or entity arbitrarily placed on a lot. Plans are reviewed toward:
- Ensuring that any development, structure or landscaping complies with the Belfair Covenants as delineated in the effective Architectural Guidelines.
- Ensuring that the location and design of the structures are visually harmonious with the terrain and vegetation of the residential lot and surrounding neighborhood and that the new structure and landscaping will not unnecessarily block scenic views of existing or furture homes.
- Ensuring that the design of structures, their materials and colors are visually harmonious with Belfair's overall appearance, with natural landforms and native vegetation.
- Ensuring that the plans for landscaping provide proper drainage of surface water, visually pleasing settings for structures on the lot and blend harmoniously with the adjacent landscaping.
- Ensuring that the architecture of Belfair is directed away from styles that dominate the landscape toward architecture that is harmonious with the landscape.
