All exterior lighting including landscape lighting requires an ARC Standards Application Form to be submitted to the Board or Argus BEFORE beginning the installation.

This technical bulletin has been in place since the establishment of the Barton Farms Association and has continued with the new HOA (Laurel Lakes) which allows a committee or HOA Board to evaluate a submitted proposal for consideration and approval.
In addition to this standard, we also have an Architectural Standard under Section 2.19 which states:
2.19 Exterior Lighting All exterior lighting must be approved by the and/or BOD prior to installation of said lighting. Exterior fixtures with sodium-vapor bulbs will not be permitted due to the color of the light and its relationship with the typical ambient residential lighting. Proposed exterior lighting shall be detailed on an electrical plan and/or landscape plan identifying wattage, aiming angle, and isofoot candle curves. Exterior lighting, which in the opinion of the and/or BOD would create a nuisance (Ref. SECTION 7.07) to the adjoining property owners or other neighbors, will not be permitted. All exterior lighting shall be buffered from surrounding residences and shall not be directed to any streets, roadways or across lakes. Colored lighting is prohibited.
The lighting fixture design must be compatible with the architectural design and appropriately located. The lights must be directed downward, defused, shielded, or of low-wattage. Indirect landscape lighting may be permitted if approved by the ARC and/or BOD. The reviewing party will use the guidelines (95-001) TECHNICAL BULLETIN – EXTERIOR LIGHTING DESIGN (rev 2002) as defined in the current CC&R to help address this issue.
