Ordinance Establishing ARB
The city of Pine Lake hereby forms an Architectural Review Board
(ARB) to review construction plans submitted for both residential and
commercial/professional development and redevelopment and to review
building and signage guidelines and ordinances.
The city will not grant a residential building permit until the ARB has
provided advice & consent on all permits for new homes or permits for
additions that are either greater than 200 square feet or alter the street
elevation of the property greater than 25% of the visible elevation area
as measurable from submitted plans.
The city will not grant a commercial/professional permit until the ARB
has provided advice & consent on all permits for new commercial
construction or permits for redevelopment and the business owner
and/or property developer has scheduled and attended a meeting with
authorized members of the ARB and City administration.
The administration will notify the ARB chair and the ARB Secretary
within three business days of the receipt of a permit that requires
review.
The ARB chair and secretary shall hold meetings of its board for the
purposes of reviewing a permit applications and other business twice a
month. Decision made by ARB may be appealed to council following the
variance procedures.
Section one. Purpose. The ARB will assist both the City Council and city
residents in creating and implementing a standard (guideline) to achieve
quality in architectural design and to protect the unique environment of Pine
Lake; the ARB will assist the council and residents in determining and
implementing a vision for the city’s built and natural environment; the ARB
will provide standards for developers on projects that include two or more
homes adjacent to one another.
Section two. Composition. Members shall be appointed by the Mayor with
the consent of the City Council and shall include two City Council
members, and five (5) atlarge community representatives who represent a
diversity of expertise, skills, and viewpoints. Qualified candidates must be
willing to devote a substantial amount of time and energy toward shaping the
future of Pine Lake. The mayor shall appoint a chair for the first meeting.
The Board shall elect its chair, vice chair and secretary from among its
members with staggered terms of service.
Section three. Duties. The Architectural Review Board shall meet no less
than once per month with the purpose of achieving the objectives set out in
section one of this ordinance.
Section four. Meetings. The date and time of meetings shall be established
at the first meeting. The frequency of the meetings may vary according to
the phases of the planning process. All committee meetings will be open
work sessions. A quorum shall be necessary to conduct business. Meetings
to review permit applications will be called upon receipt of a review request
and may be conducted with as few as two members. Since property owners
have the right to a fair and speedy review of their plans, in the absence of an
ARB review, the Director of Administration and the mayor shall conduct an
emergency review.
Section five. Attendance. Regular attendance at meetings is necessary to
maintain momentum and create a productive environment. Members of the
board shall attend all meetings of the Board. Failure to attend two meetings
in succession shall be sufficient cause for removal of the member by the City
Council. Members should attend as many public meetings and workshops as
possible. Members of the board shall read all appropriate materials and
arrive prepared to work.
First Reading October 8, 2007. APPROVED and ADOPTED this day, the
12th day of November 2007 to be effective immediately.
