The Forest Club Committees
Architectural Review Committee (“ARC”)
It is imperative and fundamental for The Forest Club to maintain the overall appearance of properties in The Forest neighborhood within the guidelines of compatibility and community safety. Without such controls and review, our neighborhood is subject to careless or conflicting construction styles and colors that may result in an inferior or run-down appearance, decreasing property values or public safety. All exterior improvements or changes to private properties of any kind or description to be erected, constructed, etc. within the community must have prior approval of this committee. It is the role of the ARC to manage this necessary task. This committee is comprised of at least 3 Board appointed Forest resident owners. They meet in the Sunrise Room on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month at 7 pm. More detailed information about any improvements or changes to an owner’s property are detailed in the Architectural Control Manual, revised March 2016. This document lists the projects requiring their approval as well as projects that do not require their approval. If you have a project for their approval you may get the forms from The Forest office or on The Forest website.
Document Review Committee
The Board of Directors may appoint at least 3 resident owners charged with maintaining the governing documents of The Forest Club, Inc. This committee shall assure compliance with statutes and codes which affect our documents and shall make any recommendations to the Board of Directors.
Welcome Committee
Bringing happy faces, the Welcome Committee meets with new residents in an effort to help them feel at home in their new surroundings. The committee is comprised of residents whose mission is to acquaint new residents with The Forest Rules & Regulations along with its amenities and activities.
Fining Committee
The Fining Committee is an independent committee appointed by the Board of Directors. It is comprised of homeowners residing in the community. When a homeowner has been sufficiently notified of a violation, the Board of Directors reviews the matter and levies a fine if deemed appropriate. After the Board levies the fine, the person homeowner to be fined is entitled to a hearing before the Fining Committee. At the hearing the homeowner is allowed to state their case and challenge the evidence against them. The Fining Committee must then either “confirm” or “reject” the fine. If the committee rejects the fine, the matter is over. However, if the committee confirms the fine, the Board of Directors may then impose the fine.
