Instructions
These instructions have been included to assist you in preparing your request. The Board meets regularly, so it is very important that they have all the required information with regard to your project when they meet. Incomplete applications may result in disapproval and a request for you to re-file your application with the needed information.
Drawings are a requirement for all projects and must include a plot map (see your settlement papers, ask your builder, or the County Recorder's office). Indicate the location of your proposed addition on this map. Include a description of the addition, with accurate dimensions, specific materials to be used, colors and other design notes.
Photographs, handwritten drawings, pages from catalogs, etc. are always welcome to help the Board to understand your project. Please be as descriptive as possible when explaining your improvement. When erecting a fence, it is very important to reference the property lines and build within, not on, the property line.
If you have a quotation from your contractor, please include that with your application. Construction materials should always be consistent with the existing structure on your property. Please reference the type, color, size, etc. when describing the materials you intend to use.
Please send your completed application and drawing(s) to Meadow Lakes Homeowners Association, c/o M2 Management Group, 455 Pearl Road, Brunswick, OH 44212.
The Board will review your project details within a week of receiving your application and will send their decision in writing within a few days after their review. The application will be approved, denied or additional or alternative recommendations for the improvement will be requested.
Please make sure that M2 Management Group has a copy of any improvement or architectural approvals you may have obtained from a previous management company. If you are unsure or unable to locate the documentation, please submit a new Architectural/Design Application after the fact so that your property’s file will be complete and in compliance.
