Design Review Board (DRB)

There are few creative opportunities that measure up with the excitement and experience of designing, building or remodeling your own home. From the initial design sketches, through ground breaking and the construction phases, to adding the final finishing touches, the process of creating a unique home can be a very rewarding experience.

In conjunction with the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Rarity Bay, the Rarity Bay

Design Guidelines Manual (DGM) is intended to achieve these objectives:

  •    To preserve and maintain the inherent qualities of the property while allowing for the design and construction of homes
  •    To advocate the protection and promotion of property values through the establishment of standards and guidelines
  •    To  establish  a  framework  for  the  planning,  design,  construction,  maintenance  and modification of homes

The RBDGM sets forth design, environment and construction standards for homes within Rarity Bay. Standards are written and intended to inspire sound principles of site planning, architectural design, landscaping and construction.

While individual creativity is encouraged, the RBDGM has been established to maintain a measure of quality and consistency throughout the course of community development. In some cases there will be no permitted variation from established standards, while in other areas flexibility and modification may be permitted with the review and approval of the Design Review Board (DRB).

The RBDGM will assist you and your design team from the preliminary design phase of your new home through its completion. The standards and guidelines will also serve you in the future as you consider modifications to your home and landscape. Most important, the RBDGM establishes a viable framework from which homeowners can direct their architects and builders, while maintaining a high level of quality design and construction.

The RBDGM provides a means to preserve the exclusiveness and value expected by every homeowner. Adherence to the standards contained in the RBDGM will contribute to the continuation of the inherent and natural attraction of Rarity Bay as a desirable environment in which to live.

The DRB looks forward to working with each new homeowner and wishes you much success. We welcome you to our Community.
