Plan Approval Procedures
a. Presque Isle Harbor Association's Architectural Control Committee functions on behalf of the property owners. This Committee is charged with the review and approval of all construction work as defined under Article VI "ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE" and Article VII "BUILDING AND USE LIMITATIONS" of the Restrictive Covenants imposed upon the Presque Isle Harbor Community. This review shall include all proposed buildings, garages, storage buildings, septic tanks, wells docks, fences, signs and additions or exterior changes to existing buildings or approved plans. It is a purpose of the Committee to protect the property owners from buildings that are not in harmony in design or location as related to surrounding structures and topography and to assist property owners in obtaining a residence in accordance with the Covenants. The Committee does not intend to get involved in details of construction, and in no way assumes any liability for construction deficiencies or errors. Compliance with the Presque Isle Harbor Association Restrictive Covenants does not necessarily mean that you have met the requirements of the Township of Presque Isle or the County of Presque Isle or the State of Michigan. You should check with these units of government before plan submittal.
