Deed Restrictions & Architectural Control Committee

MISSION: The Restrictions & Architectural Control Committee (RACC) purpose is to oversee building plans, address owner complaints, provide storage for filed plans and recommended actions on building variances for board approval and enforcement.

Anyone planning to build a home in Oakridge Ranch must comply with the Deed Restrictions, which includes obtaining approval from the Board for the final plans and specifications before construction starts.

If there are questions, contact the Restrictions & Architectural Control Committee of the Oak Ridge Improvement Association (ORIA). The Committee has authority to interpret the Deed Restrictions, but any conflict in its interpretation will be brought before the Board.

Once you have finalized the plans and specifications with your builder, contact a member of the Restrictions & Architectural Control Committee and arrange to submit a copy of the plans and specifications to the Committee for their review and approval.

The Restrictions & Architectural Control Committee will recommend to the Board to approve or reject the application in writing. The Committee has up to 30 days to review the plans and specifications. Upon receipt of a letter approving the plans and specifications, the building project may proceed. If the plans and specifications are not in accordance with the Deed Restrictions, they will be rejected in writing with an explanation why they were rejected. The project may not proceed if the plans and specifications are rejected by the Board.

Obtaining approval to proceed with a building is usually not a problem, provided the requirements of the Deed Restrictions are met and the process for approval is followed. Review the Deed Restrictions for your section.
