The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is an important part of Sunset Lakes HOA and are elected by home owners and tasked with reviewing, evaluating and either approving or disapproving requests for changes to exterior home owner properties. ARC follows the Declarations regarding allowed construction and encourages harmonious continuity in Sunset Lakes. ARC is not in charge of approving HOA property changes like front sidewalks, front easements, driveway aprons and other common areas etc. that are under the control of the HOA Board.

DownloadEXTERIOR PAINTING & STAINING Color Palette BELOW
Painting your house, fence or staining your driveway? ARC needs to see the colors you've picked to ensure aesthetics of the neighborhood. The paint and stain colors in the palette below are the approved Sherman Williams colors.
Colors are best viewed at the Sherwin Williams website. Other brands of paint are acceptable but must match the color palette.
*Remember, front sidewalks and driveway aprons are not to be painted or stained or structurally changed. These are not and will not be ARC approved changes. See letter from HOA to home owners in February 2020 regarding HOA property.
*ARC also cautions home owners on the potential for driveway slip hazards after painting or staining.

DownloadFRONT PROPERTY EASEMENTS
The sidewalks, grass area and the driveway aprons next to the private roadways in front of each home is HOA property and part of the right-of-way easements to each property. The general cleaning and trimming maintenance is the responsibility of the homeowner. Since these areas are not homeowner owned, they are not to be changed without Board approval. If you are unsure of a change that you'd like to make, please contact the Board by sending an email to:
BLOCKING SIDEWALKS
It is against Florida state law to block a pedestrian walk-way and may present a safety hazard for our owner and guest pedestrians. Parked vehicles are allowed in garages, on driveways, in the main park parking lot and street parking (not overnight).

DRAINAGE EASEMENTS
There are areas in Sunset Lakes where Drainage Easements are designed as part of the storm water system. These drainage easements are required by the St. John's River Water Management District per our HOA permit. Some of these easements are found in the rear or side of a property. It is very important that the drainage easements be kept clear of yard debris, trash and any structures or plantings that may obstruct the flow of storm water.

GRAY WATER IRRIGATION
When a storm is close, it is wise to reduce or turn off home irrigation systems, as our property management company will do for the common areas. That will keep our grounds from being over saturated and unable to absorb the heavy rainwater that may follow.
