KEEP ARROWHEAD BEAUTIFUL

The Arrowhead Design Review Committee consists of two professional architects and three homeowner representatives. Together with the Design Review staff, they serve the community by assisting Owners and their architects through the design review process and provides the following services:

• Management and approval of improvements requiring DRC approval

• Architectural and site plan review

• Process administration

• Covenant enforcement

• Compliance with Arrowhead Design Regulations

Below is a summary of the Design Review process and Construction Activities that may not need to go to a Design Review formal meeting. For more specific requirements please refer to the Design Regulations and the Construction Activities and Compliance Deposit Regulations PDF.

All projects should be submitted to and discussed with the DRC or its staff prior to initiation of construction. The DRC staff will determine if the project requires DRC review and approval. Projects that have minimal exterior impact or considered routine may be “staff approved” independent of the regularly scheduled monthly DRC meeting. Each application and the resulting review process will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the complexity, scope and exterior impact of the proposal. For example, a change of colors for the residence would not be staff approvable.

Improvements That Need DRC Approval

Please be aware that the DRC staff requires your project application and an associated fee three weeks before the monthly DRC meeting in order for it to be administratively reviewed before it can be presented to the DRC. Design Review Committee meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month.

The DRC and its staff will be delighted to assist you in making application for any exterior improvements to your residence in the most timely fashion possible. Contacting staff well in advance of your desired start date and respecting the established submittal dates and the pre-construction time lines is strongly encouraged, as staff maintains a heavy work load generally from March through October. It is our goal to ensure that property values within the Arrowhead at Vail community are preserved in accordance with the architectural standards or “guidelines” that have been established, while protecting the enjoyment of such properties by all residents. Your familiarity with and understanding of the Design Guidelines and the DRC process will aide staff in meeting your expectations while maintaining the highest level of service.
