HARC meetings are televised and I sometimes watch just to see what is going on. The present group is very professional and gives each applicant a fair hearing. I think they try to work with homeowners--not to act as an obstacle. This is where having a good architect comes in handy. He knows how to work within the guidelines to achieve the results a homeowner wants. Or at least that is the goal.<br /><br />GaryGary Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006513292595034076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740556909864494483.post-25466370782009020892009-05-05T09:48:00.000-05:002009-05-05T09:48:00.000-05:00Gary, is approval from HARC hard to get on renovat...Gary, is approval from HARC hard to get on renovation projects?
