Architectural Review

If you are planning to make changes or additions to your home's exterior (fences, attached shed, in-ground pool, etc.) please take time to review the Covenants and Restrictions. Many projects on the outside of the home require approval from both the City of Strongsville and Meadowood Association.

Approval Process for Homeowners

As part of our commitment to maintaining the aesthetic and structural integrity of our community, all homeowners must seek approval from the Homeowners Association (HOA) before making any exterior modifications or significant changes to their property. This process ensures that all improvements are consistent with our community standards and guidelines.

Step 1: Review HOA Guidelines

Before planning any changes, please review the HOA’s Covenants and Restrictions which includes architectural and design guidelines.

These guidelines outline acceptable modifications and provide detailed information on materials, colors, and styles that are in harmony with the community’s overall appearance.

Step 2: Submit an Application

Once you have your project in mind, complete the Architectural Review Application Form. This form requires the following details:

Project Description: A brief overview of the proposed changes.
Plans and Drawings: Detailed sketches, blueprints, or photographs that illustrate the scope of work.
Materials and Colors: A list of materials and color samples you plan to use.
Contractor Information: The name and contact details of the contractor or company that will carry out the work (if applicable).

Step 3: Submit Your Application

Submit your completed application and any required documents to the HOA board. Applications can be submitted via:

Step 4: HOA Review and Approval

The HOA board will review your application during the next scheduled monthly meeting, or sooner. The board considers how the proposed changes align with community standards and their potential impact on neighboring properties.

Standard Review Time: The review process typically takes 2-4 weeks.
Additional Information: If the board requires further details, they may request additional information or clarification, which may extend the review period.

Step 5: Receive Your Approval or Feedback

Once the board has reviewed your application, you will receive a written decision. The decision will either:

Approve your application as submitted.
Approve with Modifications where certain changes may be required.
Deny your application with an explanation and suggestions for resubmission.

Step 6: Begin Your Project

Upon receiving approval, you may begin your project. Please ensure that all work is completed according to the approved plans. Any deviations from the approved application may require additional review or approval.

Step 7: Final Inspection

After completing your project, the HOA may conduct a final inspection to ensure compliance with the approved plans. Homeowners are responsible for scheduling this inspection with the HOA.
