ARC
Architectural Review Committee
Our Scope and Mission

Welcome to the River Falls Architectural Review Committee (ARC) page. This area will be where you can find
information about how we can assist you in designing and building your dream home in River Falls and meeting
the very few covenants and restrictions that help protect the property values and quality of life here in River Falls

The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is appointed by the River Falls Property Owners Association Board
of Directors (Board) and reports directly to the Board. The purpose of the ARC is to centralize architectural
control of the neighborhood to enhance, ensure, and protect the attractiveness, beauty, and desirability of the
area as a whole while at the same time allowing compatible distinctiveness of individual developments in the
area.






Property owners who are considering an exterior alteration to their house or property, or an in-home business or
profession, should review the River Falls Covenants, particularly Sections XXX and the ARC guidelines. If there
are any questions, please contact any ARC member listed below.

A written application to the ARC is required for every new structure placed upon a lot, for most alterations made
to existing structures, and for the conduct of in-home businesses and professions. The Guidelines were
established:
(1) To assist the resident in planning exterior alterations;
(2) To indicate which types of alterations will be approved most expeditiously;
(3) To ensure that an application will provide the TCAC with all necessary information
               thoroughly evaluate the application as quickly as possible;
(4) To encourage residents to assess the impact of proposed alterations on their neighbors.

River Falls requires a ARC approval and inspection for many types of alterations. The applicant is responsible for
obtaining all permits and approvals from any relevant agencies such as the county or state. Applications to said
agencies may be submitted concurrently with the architectural application to save time on the project. Approval of
the exterior alteration application by the ARC does not authorize violation of any provisions of county or state
codes. Although the Committee assumes no responsibility for monitoring any building Codes, a known violation
may be grounds for application disapproval. Residents should contact any governing agency for more information.

--------------
The ARC shall ensure that all applications for changes, alternations, additions, or deletions to property in the
community are in compliance with both the Restrictions in Use contained in the Declarations of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions for the neighborhood and these Architectural Guidelines established for the
neighborhood.


Information on preparation and review of applications, appeal of Architectural Review Committee decisions,
completion of projects, obtaining an updated Letter of Compliance, and Covenant Enforcement is provided
below.
