The Architectural Review Board known as the ARB maintains a balance between development and the natural surroundings. The ARB’s responsibility, as stated in the Covenants, is to ensure the orderly development and renovation of any structure, big or small, within the POA. All Shipyard property owners, (this includes all private residential, condominium, commercial, and timeshare), must adhere to the ARB Guidelines as required by the SPOA Covenants. The ARB is a group of owners with a staff architect whose job is to review all new construction, tree removal, additions, landscaping, renovations, and substantial exterior construction.
