The rule of thumb is if a resident is replacing what is existing without altering the look of what is currently there, there is no need to apply. Additions, extensions, material alterations, etc...do need to be approved by the Board.
For example, adding a tree or shrubs is not considered something that requires an application, however, extensive landscaping upgrades including retaining walls or obstacles that may alter the natural flow of water run off, are required to apply.
