1 OVERVIEW OF PROCEDURES FOR NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION PERMITS The builder will submit to the ECC the plans, drawings, etc. for the project, along with the appropriate filing fee. Proof of ownership should be provided at this time. A face-to-face meeting with the owners, the builder, the ALPUC representative, and the head of maintenance will be scheduled. After this meeting, the ECC will proceed with the normal review process, including a site inspection for the setbacks, review of color schemes, materials, etc. The driveway form will be submitted in its preliminary form at this time. Once the ECC has approved the project, they will sign the permit and return it to the general manager. The permit will be undated at that time. When the builder is ready to actually begin the work on the project, he/she will submit the bond, square footage fees, and any other necessary ALPOA documents and forms. At that time, the general manager will fill in the start date on the permit. The completion date will be one year from the date the permit is signed. No extensions will be granted unless there are extraordinary circumstances beyond the builder s control. When the driveway has reached its final stage, approval for the interface with the roads will be given by the head of maintenance. Also, placement of and screening of the fuel storage tanks must be approved at this time. When the work has been completed, a review of all of the submitted documents will be undertaken. If all of the requirements have been met, the occupancy permit will be issued and the release of performance bond documents will be executed at that time. No home can be occupied without the occupancy permit. All conditions on the release of performance bond must be met before the ECC will approve its release.
