APC and Purpose of Application Procedure
The stated purpose of the APC in of the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of Goldenwood are to:
á ensure the highest use and most appropriate development and improvement of the property for residential purposes in order
to enhance the value of the investment made by Owners in purchasing Lots in the Subdivision;
á protect the Owners of Lots against the improper use of surrounding Lots;
á encourage and secure the erection of attractive, appropriately located improvements on each Lot;
á preserve, so far as practicable, the natural beauty of the Subdivision;
á preserve the lines of sight and views from the Lots, and;
á secure and maintain the proper use of easements within the Subdivision;
á adopt procedural and substantive rules to accomplish these objectives.
The APC consists of three neighbors/Owners that have volunteered for the duty and are attempting to satisfy the intent of the
Covenants in a fair and expedient method. The three members and their contact information are:
Andrew Backus
cel 913-3156
fax 858-4829

Please contact any of us with questions or comments.
The purpose of these forms are to systematize the necessary application submittal and review process required of Owners and
the APC by GoldenwoodÕs Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, in particular those requirements of "Article Six -
Architectural Protective CommitteeÓ and of "Article Seven - Land Use and Architectural Restrictions, related to when an Owner
wishes to make ÒimprovementsÓ to their property. The Owner is encouraged to keep a copy of all APC correspondence,
submittals and approvals in their permanent records for future documentation.
Instructions for Application for Lot/Home Improvement
Please complete the relevant portions of page 2 of 4 of this form for your project. Page 2 is considered the OwnerÕs
application. If you are building a house on a vacant lot please use the ÒApplication for Property DevelopmentÓ form. Pages 3 &
4 of this form will be completed by the APC but are included for the OwnerÕs guidance. These pages indicate the number of
copies and format of the additional documentation that may be required by the APC to accompany the 1-page application.
Project specific documentation that is not listed on this form may also be requested by the APC based on your unique project.
Please do not hesitate to contact members of the APC with any questions related to these forms.
Please note that the initiation of the 30 day review period allowed to the APC by the Covenants does not begin until all required
submittals and fees are received by the APC in a form satisfactory to the APC. The clock does not start with the initial
submittals to the APC unless they are complete. The Owner is not authorized to begin construction until APC approval has
been obtained or 30 days have elapsed since the Owner has been notified that their submittals are complete.
Following the OwnerÕs initial contact with the APC, the application fee and the waste management fee will be determined. If the
project is small the fees may be waived by the APC.
It is recommended that the location of all buildings or improvements be staked prior to submittal to help expedite the APC site
inspection and review process. Staking the location of improvements will be required as part of the APC inspection.
The deed restrictions require that all site roads be at least partially constructed with road base prior to any site work beginning
to avoid construction equipment tracking mud onto the subdivision roads. The travel on the site road will benefit from the
compaction caused by equipment movement.
The APC recommends directing light where it is needed, rather than general flood lighting. Near ground-level lights shining
down on a path or up-lighting illuminating tree trunks and branches are more desirable than general light on a yard. General
flood lighting with mercury vapor or high pressure sodium type lamps provided by utility companies are expressly forbidden
whether mounted on a pole or building.
