Architectural & Covenants

 

In a covenant-protected community, owners have contractually agreed to surrender their rights to unlimited freedom of expression in improving their properties and they have accepted the obligation to conform to architectural and landscaping standards established in accordance with the Newtown Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (MDCCR) and the Architectural Rules & Guidelines (ARG) in order to preserve and maintain the character of the community in which they have chosen to reside.  These standards are protected by the MDCCR and the ARG for the ultimate benefit of all Newtown Estates Community Associations (NECA) owners and residents.  The overall responsibility for preserving and maintaining NECA’s architectural and landscaping standards has been assigned to the Architectural Committee.

The primary objective of the Architectural Committee in meeting this responsibility is to ensure harmonious aesthetic relationships between individual buildings and their sites and to ensure compatibility of each lot and its improvement with the architectural and landscaping standards which prevail within each individual NECA development and within the community as a whole.
