DISCLAIMER:   Article VI of the Ashburn Farm Association Declaration provides that no improvements, alterations, repairs, change of paint colors, excavations, changes in grade or other work, which in any way alters the exterior of any Lot or Common Area or the improvements located thereon shall be made or done without the prior written approval of the Association.  The Association has adopted the following Architectural Guidelines to provide guidance to owners when they prepare an application to improve or alter their lot or home.  While alterations which conform to the Architectural Guidelines are usually approved, each lot and application is different, so compliance with the guidelines does not guarantee approval.  Please do not make alterations to your property without first obtaining the approval of the Association as required by Declaration.
