Summary

The Port St. James Property Owners Association announced that its Architectural Control Committee would review proposed building, fence, wall, and other structure plans before zoning or building permits could be issued.

Evidence and limits

The notice cites a restrictive-covenant provision but does not establish the underlying covenant’s complete text, later approvals, or enforcement.

Sources

  1. States that the Architectural Control Committee must review plans for buildings, fences, walls, and other structures before zoning or building permits can be issued, under Article VI Section 1 of the restrictive covenant. It does not provide the covenant text, permits, decisions, or enforcement record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
