ACC

The ACC contacted Glenn Pearson, Deputy Director, Operations and Maintenance at PWCSA.  Via email, Glenn responded with: 

“There is a multi-year project to maintain the well system that provides water to Bull Run Mountain and Evergreen. Details on that project can be found here: https://www.pwcsa.org/brme-project. The equipment on Hunton is a complementary function to the well maintenance project, and was installed to regulate water pressure between customers on the mountain and customers in Evergreen. More specifically, this device ensures that water pressure in Evergreen stays below a high-pressure setpoint, thereby preventing damage to plumbing systems to Evergreen customers.

This is a permanent installation, and by design, the equipment is located in VDOT right-of-way and VDOT dictates what is and is not permitted in their ROW. VDOT required that PWCSA install the system at grade and install the reflective devices to address driver safety along the road. According to PWCSA, they are limited by VDOT in what they can do to make it look better, and they currently have no plans to do so.”

Update on 2/23/22: After the public information session on 2/23/22, Glenn reached back out to the ACC and they offered to paint the large stainless steel panel a color/pattern of our choice.

The requirements for pool barriers are specified in Prince William County Code. I found the attached PDF. 

ISPSC is the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. You can find their code for barriers here:

A split rail fence with inside mesh wiring is an approved barrier according to the code, as long as the fence is 48″ tall and the mesh is small enough where you cannot pass a 4″ ball through it. There are also requirements for gates, where they can only be unlocked from the inside.

For ACC approval, just pick a fence design and then let us know the specifications.

From the ACC’s perspective this issue is resolved unless and until another violation is reported.

We received and reviewed your new Architectural Change Request application for a new house to be located at 3257 Mountain Road (2020-005, attached). Since your original application (2020-002), you have been very helpful in getting us the information we requested. We appreciate the information you shared with us on our conference call on March 31, 2020. We also received a copy of a contract document from you on April 1, 2020 in our individual mailboxes with a note stating “Please don’t distribute”. We see that this document was subsequently recorded with Prince William County on April 3, 2020 and is now part of public record.

You have provided us with all the information and history that we need to make a final determination on your application. We do not need anything else from you. As such, the ACC voted unanimously to reject your application(s) for the new house.

To be clear, the ACC does not support any subdivision in the neighborhood, including yours. We understand that you believe your subdivision was done through proper legal channels. We are of the opinion that any subdivision violates the covenants that were put in place to protect our neighborhood. This is the reason that we are rejecting your application.

On behalf of the ACC, thank you for submitting your application for a 12’ x 12’ garden to be located at the right of your home (3514 Delashmutt Dr). The ACC has reviewed your application and has decided to Approve it with the following Condition(s):

• Condition 1: No fencing to be installed/erected around the garden without approval from the ACC. Since your application did not include a fence, we hope this won’t present any problems with your project. If you do intend to install a fence now, or in the future, we request that you submit a new application to the ACC with the relevant details.

Thank you for submitting your application to the ACC for the construction of a new house at 3257 Mountain Rd. At this time, we are not able to approve your application. The primary reason is insufficient information in your application. You may or may not be aware that there is a clause in the Covenants referenced on your original deed that states “No purchaser of a lot in this Subdivision shall be allowed to subdivide a lot so as to provide a greater number of smaller lots.” The ACC seeks to understand the history of your lot, specifically the recent subdivide, before approving any projects on the referenced lot.

The ACC met with homeowners onsite on 2/20/2020 to review their proposed project. During the review, the homeowners informed us that they are changing the plans based on feedback from A&E and contractors. We informed them that we would reject this submittal and they should resubmit updated plans to the ACC as a new application when they are ready. Sent an email on 2/21/2020 to homeowners documenting the conversation and the decision.

Homeowners installed a fence without ACC approval. Neighbors inquired about it conforming to neighborhood standards and our Covenants.The fence has been painted according to approved plans. 07/13/2020
