Design Review Committee Guidance for Homeowners

 Once built, any dwelling in Cory Lake Isles continues to be governed by the Cory Lake Isles Deed Restrictions.  In accordance with the Deed Restrictions, any exterior changes to your home, including landscaping, fences, playground equipment, docks, pools, patios, house paint, emergency generators, hurricane protection, etc., need to be submitted in writing to the Design Review Committee (DRC) for review and to receive written approval before proceeding. EVEN IF SOMETHING APPEARS TO BE ALLOWED IN THE DEED RESTRICTIONS, you must submit it for formal approval. If you are unsure you can call the DRC at 986-8000 to answer any of your questions. Copies of the Deed Restrictions and Design Review Manual can be obtained at the Beach Club for a small charge to cover printing costs.

To apply for any improvement, obtain an Alteration Application, available at Design Review page of POA website,  or at the Beach Club. Fill out the form and include the necessary information regarding the proposed change. Make a written or drawn sketch of your plans and what you want to do and mail it to Rampart Properties, 10012 N. Dale Mabry, Suite 102, Tampa, Florida, 33618. It must include a copy of your lot survey with a sketch indicating location, size and type of construction and a copy of the contractor’s estimate showing the style, colors and materials to be used in the improvement. An accurate rendering, including dimensions to the existing home, property lines and/or easements, grading and elevations of the Lot if it is to be altered, and types of plants or trees, of the proposed improvements depicting the location of landscaping and other improvements on the Lot. A good starting point is to sketch or draw your proposed improvement on a copy of your home’s plat plan. Reviews are done in as timely a manner as possible. In rare cases it could take up to 3 weeks.
