Architectural Review Committee members will be boarding a trolley to tour the newest areas of The Villages south of State Road 44.
The stated mission of the ARC is to “maintain the high quality and consistency of the aesthetics and design of the residences and home sites found throughout The Villages.”
Whether it is a pool addition, landscaping, painted driveway, porch enclosure, coloring of walks and/or driveways, arbors, pergolas, trellises or removal of trees that are greater than four inches in diameter, it is necessary for homeowners in The Villages to submit a modification/alteration form for approval.
Villagers living north of State Road 44 have visited the Village of Fenney and other newer areas and have fallen in love with some of the new features on homes there. That has spurred some requests of the ARC, which is made up of volunteer Villagers who gather each Wednesday at the District Office at Lake Sumter Landing.
The trolley tour for ARC members is set for Feb. 3. The tour is intended to provide ARC members with firsthand information about some of the new product lines in Florida’s Friendliest Hometown.
In October, community development boards across The Villages voted to update their Architectural Review Manuals to reflect changes prompted by home features in the areas south of State Road 44.
