Architectural Modification Committee
Looking for New Members

The purpose of the Architectural Modifications Committee is to review all plans for architectural and landscaping modifications being requested by residents of Firethorne. This process helps to ensure consistency, a quality appearance of the community and to protect property values. The committee meets on the third Wednesday of each month to review applications. During the review process the committee members will use the Firethorne Modification Guidelines, DCCR's, Builders Guidelines and Landscaping Guidelines as the basis for approval or denial of each application. If you are interested in being part of this committee, please email koakley@firethorne.info.
