The purpose of these criteria is to supplement the information provided in our covenants. These criteria do not address all the types of improvements that require ARB review and approval. Additionally, there are certain improvements that are not permitted by the Sea Pines Covenants and Restrictions. The ARB advises all Sea Pines Owners to review a copy of the Sea Pines Property Owner s Association Covenants and Restrictions prior to initiating any alteration to their home and/or property The ARB will accept submittals only from Sea Pines property owners, not from any third party such as a contractor. Approvals will be provided directly to the homeowner. Disapprovals will be sent to the Property Manager for appropriate action. ARB Architectural Criteria 5/16/16 Page 1 of 5
