Architectural Review Committee
The purpose of the ARC is
to review plans that include but are not limited to structural additions, significant changes to exterior appearance and property
(e.g. paint colors, fencing, pool installations, patios, major landscaping changes, etc.). Article VII of our Declaration
of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs) provides additional information.
To serve our homeowners on a timely basis the ARC will meet the first and third
week of EACH month beginning April 2 to review all requests. An Architectural Change Application needs to be completed for all requests. Both a form and checklist
are available to download. Completed forms should be submitted to Daphne to be time stamped.
It’s in your best interest to ensure the strongest possible property values in our Almadale Farms community. The ARC is here to help you through the process of ensuring changes and modifications
are in keeping with our CCRs. In doing so, we will continue to have an excellent reputation as a very desirable community
with outstanding “curb appeal.” This goes a long way in protecting our property values.

FYI on Lamp Posts
All decorative light posts on the property of each homeowner are the homeowner’s
responsibility to maintain and repair. These fixtures are quite pricey, so regular inspection for stability can prevent potentially
harmful accidents and/or expensive repairs or replacement.

A Town
Grows Up. Collierville learns lesson of growth.
And Collierville has plenty of room to grow. Its current boundaries
include about 29 square miles. Under Shelby County's growth plan, the town has the right to annex an additional 21 square
miles.
The above-average population growth, plus the cost of homes relative to local incomes, led Money magazine recently
to rank the East Shelby County suburb as one of the 10 "hottest" places to live among cities under 100,000 population in the
eastern third of the country. It was in the eighth spot, just ahead of the Nashville suburb of Brentwood. Read the full article.
