The Approval Process for New Homes, Additions, and
all other Improvements on Grandview Lake properties.

If you’re planning the construction of a new home, boat dock, boat house, storage shed, garage or any other improvements that will be placed on your lot, prior to applying for your building permit or starting work, it is necessary to first submit your plans to the Grandview Lake Lot Owners Association Architectural Committee. You are required to gain prior approval for these improvements from the Architectural Committee under covenants regarding lake safety and deed restrictions.

Plans should be submitted in duplicate to the G.L.O.A. office so that one set can remain on record in the office. You will be sent a written response. The members of the Committee will do everything possible to review your plans within a reasonably short period of time. Please plan ahead so you are not delayed.

Items Required as Part of Your Complete Application

1. Include the application form with your name, Lot #, Lake Addition #, street address, and other pertinent information. If a contractor is involved, please include contact information.
   Application Form
   To download the form right-mouse click on the "Application Form" link and then select "Save Target As...". You can also left-click on the link, select "Open" and print this form. 
    

2. Improvements should be clearly marked out on the lot with wooden stakes, flags or similar marking.
    

3. A site plan must be submitted, showing distances to property lines and setback lines that are adjacent to the proposed work. It may be necessary to show setback lines at the waters edge, side yards or at the public roadway. These setbacks vary among each section of the lake so be sure to consult the plat and deed for your lot and section when determining what will apply to your project.
    

4. The site plan must show the exact location of the subject improvements and show actual distances to any existing improvements and lot lines, setbacks, easements and shorelines. The plan should be drawn “to scale” so that the review committee can check the dimensions & distance to setbacks. If your lot lines go beyond the shoreline this should be shown on the plans. A site plan prepared by a surveyor is suggested
    

5. All improvements are considered to be of a permanent nature; therefore all improvements will be subject to the prescribed setbacks for your addition and lot.
    

6. Building Plans; “Blueprints”, should show a building’s footprint, elevations, square footage and dimensions so that the improvement can be compared to the covenants for your lot and addition.
    

7. In the event that there is a problem with your plan as it relates to the covenants or plat for your section, you will be asked to make the necessary adjustments or meet with someone on the committee to discuss your submittal.
