ARC Guidelines and Specifications

hydrangeas at New SeaburyThe ARC Guidelines are developed by the Committee to assist all homeowners in the planning, construction, addition or renovation of their homes. The ARC Guidelines have evolved over the years and are revised constantly to reflect the current state of the community. Creativity is encouraged, but basic standards have been established to promote a harmonious community aesthetic at New Seabury.

The Guidelines are intended to help the homeowner focus on both the procedural and design requirements of the Committee. The ARC Guidelines are also intended to protect all property owners by providing a uniform review and approval process, which will in turn maintain New Seabury’s unique character while protecting home values.
