Q. How do I get the Architectural Standards Committee requests for outside color, landscaping,  driveway, sidewalks, roofs and decks for approvals. ​

​

A.  Here is the ASC Information: Any Exterior Change requires an ASC request. All Architectural Standards Committee (ASC) requests are reviewed monthly. All requests need to be submitted 2 business days prior to either the first or third Monday of the month, to be considered for review.  Check with the City of Milton on all home improvements for City of Milton permitting policies.  At these meetings, requests will be reviewed and approved/disapproved or assigned to a committee member for personal follow up with a homeowner. Tree Removals require a City of Milton permit.  The HOA BOD and ASC will not allow external changes without submitting your work to the HOA ASC.  If you violate the ASC policy and or procedure, you will be required to rectify the work. Violators will be fined.  The Committee has 14 days to provide a response to the homeowner. If you have an emergency situation, such as tree falling down or storm damage, you can make the repair and submit the request as soon as possible. Always please call the HOA office as soon as possible in these situations. Please reach out to the HOA Office for further information: 770.569.4103 crookedcreekpm@heritageproperty.com asc@crookedcreekhoa.org.

A: It is a non-profit corporation registered with the State and managed by a duly elected Board of Directors.

The governing legal documents for the association may be viewed online. The corporation is financially supported by all members of the homeowners association. Membership is both automatic and mandatory.

　

Q: What are the Governing Documents?

A: The Covenants and By-laws are the governing legal documents that authorize the operation of the planned community as a non-profit corporation. The Documents were recorded by the County recorder's office of the County in which the property is located and are included in the title to your property. Failure to abide by these Documents may result in a fine to a homeowner by the Association. The governing legal documents for the association may be viewed online.

Q: Are there any other rules?

A: Our association has developed Rules and Regulations as provided for in our Governing Documents and have been adopted by the Board of Directors.

Such changes may include patio covers, decks, landscaping, exterior color changes and additions. These rules and guidelines are set up to maintain the aesthetic value and integrity of the community on behalf of all owners, and hopefully protect the market value of your investment as well. Violations of these rules may result in action by the Board of Directors and a fine.
