Architectural Review Committee (ARC)

The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) reviews and approves/denies all homeowner requests for exterior additions, changes and improvements to properties. Please do not start any exterior project before receiving approval from this committee. 

The ARC inspects each home monthly for exterior covenant compliance. Please see our inspection checklist.  Our community, built in the early 2000s, requires ongoing home maintenance to remain attractive and keep home values high.

The Board and the ARC encourage all attached homeowners to work together to ensure the exteriors of their adjoining homes are maintained/updated in unity.

Considering a project at your home?  Exterior maintenance or paint color change?

Before any work begins, please complete the online Architectural Review Request Form.  Alternatively, you may download, print, complete and mail  this PDF version of the form to: AOB HOA – ARC at 1480 W Southport Road, Box 204, Indianapolis, IN  46217.

Please wait for approval or feedback from the ARC before proceeding.  Please email the ARC  or speak to an ARC member if you have questions about the form or your plans.

If planning a new roof, provide to the ARC a sample shingle along with the completed form to receive approval before installation begins. Shingle, garage door, siding, and shutter paint colors for adjoining units must be approved before work begins, as these items must match the attached home.

When forwarding a submission, attach any necessary photos or plans that support your request.

Mailbox and Mailbox Post Guidelines

To maintain the value and aesthetics of our community, the Arbors on Bluff HOA signed a contract with a preferred mailbox and post vendor.  If you find that you need to repair or replace all or part of your mailboxes and/or post – you will need to contact our preferred vendor directly to facilitate this update and to obtain current pricing.

Our community has a specific style post, and to be certain the color is correct, you will need to purchase paint directly from Otto’s Streetscape Solutions or Sherwin Williams. Download and print the mix information to take with you to Sherwin Williams. IMPORTANT:  If you do not purchase the paint from Otto’s or Sherwin Williams, the color will not be correct and you will be asked to repaint your post again.  PLEASE NOTE:  Painting is ONLY recommended for the mailbox posts.  Mailboxes are powder-coated and if numbering is placed on a painted surface, it will not adhere.  Therefore, when necessary, it is recommended that mailboxes are REPLACED and not painted.

Also, all mailbox posts must have the required post protection guard installed.

If you have a dual-mailbox post, we ask that you work with your neighbor to make the change together and split the costs. If you have a single mailbox, it must remain single. Regarding installation, Otto’s can install, you can install, or you can contact Dean Ellis at 317 358 6445 for installation assistance.

If you have any questions, you may email the ARC for additional information/details.
