PROCEDURE to
INSTALL, RELOCATE, or REMOVE a SATELLITE DISH
The Olympia Architectural
Review Committee (ARC), with approval from the Olympia Homeowners Assn. (OHA) Board
of Trustees, has established the following procedure for the installation, relocation,
or removal of a satellite dish on the home.
Installation of a Satellite Dish
1.
This is an
interactive procedure between the homeowner and a member of the ARC.
2.
Homeowner must
submit an “Application for Modification to Your Home” form to the ARC. These forms are available on the resident
rack, across from the library in the clubhouse, or are available on the
website: www.olympiahoa.com
3.
An ARC member
will meet with the homeowner within four weekdays of submission of the
application. Together they will review
the Olympia Resident Handbook, as it applies to antennas, the issues
pertaining to satellite installations, and the approval process.
4.
The homeowner
then schedules the installation by contacting the service provider’s locally recommended
installation company, and explaining Olympia’s requirement that the dish must
be installed so as to be out of sight from the street.
5.
At the time of
installation, the ARC representative, the homeowner and the installer will find
and approve the appropriate location for the satellite dish.
a. If there is no problem with the location of the
satellite dish on the roof (i.e. out of sight from the street) the installation
can be completed.
b. If there is a problem, alternative locations will be
identified. If acceptable to the
homeowner and the ARC, the installation can be completed.
c. If no alternative is acceptable to the homeowner, the installation will not be completed at
that time. Within seven days, the
ARC member will document the situation and take the homeowner’s case back to
the ARC for satisfactory resolution.
Relocation of a Satellite Dish - the same restrictions and procedures will apply in
relocating a satellite dish. This situation is not likely to occur very
frequently. If it does, the ARC will
work with the homeowner to process the request to relocate the satellite dish,
without undue delay.
Removal of a Satellite Dish – it is not necessary to request ARC approval for
dish removal.
Note: During both relocation and removal, the
homeowner should not remove the satellite brackets because the fastener holes
in the roof will create water problems once the brackets are removed.
