Design Review Request (DRR)
Any changes to the exterior of your Pine Creek property will require the approval of the Association. This includes painting, roofing, landscape, room additions, decks, sheds, gazebos, playground equipment and so on.
You get this by completing and submitting a Design Review Request (DRR), also known as an ARC Request (Architectural Review Committee Request) to the Modifications Committee. They will review your request, and approve, disapprove, or conditionally approve it.
You must submit this request (and get approval) before making any change to the exterior of your property.
*** Additional information may be found in the PCVA Community Guidelines, Section 5, which details the DRR process ***
There is no longer a fee charged for modification or design review UNLESS the association would have to hire an architect or engineer to review plans. This would only occur for major additions or projects. You would be notified of any fees before being charged.
Please submit only one “external improvement” for each Design Review Request (DRR). By doing so, this will ensure that you get faster approvals and does not hold up an entire project if one improvement would require additional information.

If you have wood siding you can paint the sample right on your house, on the front or the side where the committee members can view it, without going into the back yard.
Xeriscape Design Review Requests
The Modifications Committee has helped many home owners this summer with changes to their property, from outside painting, adding play equipment to changing their landscape. With the water restrictions, many home owners have requested xeriscape changes. The Management Company has been working with each homeowner to obtain a complete idea of the xeriscape plant. Some of the submittals have been excellent while others have not provided all the information the Modifications Committee needs to approve the request. Examples of a complete xeriscape submittal may be found by CLICKING HERE, for residents to use as a guide. The approval process will be expedited when the submittal provides all the necessary information. The Modifications Committee thanks you for your help and understanding.
