Architectural Control Committee (ACC)
Members
Jacque Forrest is the Chairman of the Committee. Her email address is: ACC.BVSHOA@gmail.com. Please include your name, address, and phone number when contacting her regarding the ACC and/or Deed Restrictions.
The Committee members are Kay Bratton, Tony Brocato, Vikki Jacobi and Jerry Lozano.
Meetings of the ACC are held at Balcones Country Club. The committee meets the first Wednesday of the month if it has received a request for review. Requests for consideration should be sent to the committee at least a week prior to the meeting. Homeowners are expected to attend the meeting to discuss their request with the ACC.
Overview
The Balcones Village/Spicewood (BV/S) area is included within the City of Austin as well as being a part of the BV/S development. As a result, the individual properties in this area are subject to the City of Austin ordinances, regulated by City of Austin codes, and are also covered by the BV/S Deed Restrictions filed by the developer when the property was originally platted.
The Deed Restrictions apply to every homeowner in the Balcones Village and Spicewood at Balcones Village subdivisions, whether they are members of the HOA or not members. The deed restrictions for your property were noted in the contract you signed when you purchased your home.
Homeowners considering changes or improvements to their property need to contact both the City of Austin for various permits as well as the BV/S Homeowners Association Architectural Control Committee. Any changes or improvements done to the exterior of the house and/or the property should be submitted to the ACC for approval. This includes, but is not limited to: fencing, additions, outbuildings, garage extensions, swimming pools, landscaping, and ornamental structures.
The ACC is responsible for providing assistance to homeowners in the BV/S residential area by reviewing proposed improvements to their property and giving guidance on how those improvements can be done in compliance with the deed restrictions that govern their property. There are 24 different sets of deed restrictions covering the BV/S development. While they are generally similar, there are some specific differences. In some sections the ACC can grant homeowners an exception or variance from compliance within certain aspects of the deed restrictions for valid reasons; in most it cannot.
Violations of the deed restrictions make you vulnerable to legal action, potentially placing your investment at risk. It is in both of our interest to insure your projects meet the deed restrictions. We would also encourage you to discuss planned planned projects that may impact neighbors with immediate neighbors to insure they understand and are comfortable with your plans.
