WestWinds ECC Guideline for Lattice

Adopted August 16, 2006

Any lattice (or similar type of material that serves the purpose and gives the appearance of lattice) installed on a property must be approved by the WW ECC prior to installation. The ECC does not consider lattice an architectural enhancement to the WestWinds community. Therefore, its use will be critically reviewed before approval is granted.

This Guideline is being established to inform residents who are considering alterations to their property that lattice is not a preferred building material within the community. Therefore, requests will be carefully scrutinized to ensure that they architecturally and esthetically conform to the home and/or deck, and do not obstruct neighbor’s vista or golf course view. This Guideline is not intended to encourage the proliferation of lattice throughout the community, but rather discourage its use.

In addition, approval of one request does not become the precedent for approving other requests.

Only a vinyl, aluminum, or similar type of material will be considered for approval. Wooden lattice (whether natural, stained or painted) will not be considered.
