Type of Improvement
:
NOTE: For pool, spa, other
electrical/mechanical/plumbing equipment installed outdoors, two (2) sets of
plans or drawings must be submitted with the application. The plans
must show the location, description and size of all electrical boxes/panels,
air conditioner equipment, and other equipment, including visible wiring,
piping, attachments, flashing, pumps, hardware, etc. The plans must clearly
show where all exterior equipment (including the equipment itself and all
related electrical boxes/panels, battery enclosures, wiring, conduits,
gas/water pipes, etc.) will be installed.
The plans must include overhead as well as side elevation diagrams.
The side view diagram must show the position of all electrical equipment and
conduit (if any) mounted to the Dwelling Structure. The specification for
the plans (what needs to be included, etc.) are described in the section
"Plans and Drawings" in
Rules & Regulations - Part 2: Architectural Procedures and Standards.
All equipment, wiring, conduit, pipes, etc. attached to the
Dwelling Structure must be painted to match the surface it is mounted
to.
One set will be retained on permanent file with the Association,
while the second set will be returned along with the application
decision. Also include one set of plans on letter-sized (8.5x11") paper
so that it can be scanned and stored electronically with your
application (your architect or contractor may be able to provide you
with a reduced sized copy).
When obtaining Neighbor Awareness signatures, you should
allow them to review the plans or drawings prior to signature.
Neighbor comments and signatures indicate that they have been notified
and do not imply approval, which can only be granted by the
Architectural Control Committee
(ACC).
Homeowners/contractors may have to provide a separate set of plans to the
City of Irvine for building approval, permits and inspections. In
addition to the plans, the Homeowner should include manufacturer's brochures
or samples of the equipment.
Proposed Improvement. Please be as specific as
possible. Use a separate sheet of paper, if needed.

Completion Date:
Will you require a dumpster?
Yes
No
NOTE: Dumpsters may only be placed in the driveway (preferred) or
street immediately in front of the home where the work is being performed.
To prevent damage to driveway or street, please request that wood boards be
placed below wheels and other supports. If placed in the street, dumpsters
must have reflectors or reflective tape to minimize night driving accidents.
Closed storage containers must remain locked when not in use. Dumpsters must
be removed within thirty (30) days of being delivered unless a written
extension request is submitted to and approved by the property management
company. Any damage to streets or other Common Area property as the result
of your improvement will be repaired by the Association and charged to the
homeowner.

Dumpster Removal Date:
Will you require a
porta-potty?
Yes
No
NOTE: Portable sanitation facilities (portable toilets or
"porta-potties") are generally discouraged as long as the Homeowner can
make suitable arrangements with the contractor and workers. If the
nature of the Improvement and situation dictates that a portable
sanitation facility will be required, this fact and its proposed
location should be noted on the appropriate Home Improvement
Application. The portable sanitation facility should be located out of
view from the Common Area if reasonable and practical. Otherwise, it
must be placed in the driveway or other portion of the homeowner's
property (preferred) or street immediately in front of the home where
the work is being performed. Prior permission is required from the
property management company if the portable sanitation facility is
required to be placed on the street. The portable sanitation facility
must be serviced for waste removal no less than two times per week and
must remain locked when not in use. The portable sanitation facility
must be removed within seven (7) days of the Improvement completion
date.
Will existing roofing material
be removed and different material installed under the
solar panels?
Yes
No
Not Applicable
NOTE: If the area under the solar panels will be different (e.g.,
asphalt/composition material) from the rest of the roof, the existing
tiles must be placed around the perimeter of the panels so the material
under the solar panels will not be visible from the Common Area.
Have permits (if required) been submitted?
Yes
No
Not Applicable
Have the permits (if required) been approved?
Yes
No
Not Applicable
NOTE: City building permits are required for room additions,
structure changes, patio covers, roofing, solar, electrical and plumbing
changes/additions, furnaces, air conditioning equipment, natural gas
piping, pools, spas, outdoor built-in gas appliances (e.g., outdoor BBQ,
firepits. pizza oven, etc.) and sinks, and other modifications.
