The fire must be contained before the person leaves the building site. The burning must be in accordance with Ashe County ordinances and account for current weather conditions.

D. Provide gravel/silt fences and/or other needed measures to ensure that mud is not tracked off the property onto the roads of our the development. The contractor/owner is responsible for checking, on a daily basis, the roads affected by the building for mud/silt build up and removing it from the affected roads. Any road damage that occurs during construction shall be the responsibility of the owner.

E. Make all contractors, sub-contractors and workers aware of the community speed limit and the need to drive slowly and watch for children and golfers.

F. Construction workers shall should try to park on the same side of the road as the construction site whenever possible, so as to leave plenty of passing room for other vehicles.

IV. FRPOA RESPONSIBILITY DURING CONSTRUCTION:

A. The Architectural Representative of the Board or other designated board member shall check the construction site weekly to assure compliance with all requirements and report any non-compliance to the owner and/or contractor and verbally to the FRPOA Board members.

B. The FRPOA Board shall approve all construction after the date of adoption of these regulations according to the procedure outlined above. No design or material used in construction will be approved simply because it has been permitted in the past.
