An Exterior Alteration Application must be submitted for all awnings and sun trellises. The following criteria will be used by the RHAC in its review of awnings and sun trellises:

The style, color, materials, size, and proportion must complement the architectural character and existing color scheme of the house.
Wood or cloth awnings are preferred.
Metal (including aluminum) and fiberglass awnings are NOT ALLOWED.
Awnings are to be of straightforward design, of a solid, natural color, and without embellishments such as fringes, contrast trim, etc. However, awnings with very little or no visual impact may have stripes that are natural in color or that complement the house and will be considered on a case by case basis.
If awnings are to be removed, pipe frames must also be removed and repairs made as necessary.
Awnings should not significantly impair the view, amount of sunlight, or ventilation of adjacent residences or the public’s use or enjoyment of open space.
Application Requirements:

The application must include a site (plat) plan, scaled elevation, and roof plan showing the location of the awning or sun trellis in relation to the house. Dimensions, color, style, method of attachment (where applicable), and a description of the material and/or a manufacturer’s drawing must be included.
