Architectural Control Committee (ACC)

Welcome to the ACC webpage from the newly appointed ACC members. We are a committee of 3 of your neighbors selected by the Board of Directors to whom we report. We think of ourselves as a team and you, the homeowner, are a part of that team.

It is the ACC’s responsibility to enforce the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) which are mutually beneficial rules designed to protect the Shadow Brook homeowners and to enhance our property values. We realize that not everyone is aware of the CC&Rs and the associated requirements regarding property maintenance and refurbishing. Our goal is to help you understand the CC&Rs as well as the ACC Related Rules in an open, friendly and transparent manner.

Prior to any change to the appearance of the exterior of your home including, but not limited to landscaping, hardscaping, roofing, remodeling, painting, or siding, you must contact the ACC at acc@nullshadowbrook.org by submitting the ACC Request Form. For paint, hardscaping, landscaping, siding, or roofing projects, please submit the Request Form at least two (2) weeks prior to the start date of the work and at least 30 days prior for exterior construction projects.
