Residential Design and Review Committee

The Residential Design Review Committee (RDRC) was established by the Declarations (Article IX) for the purpose of facilitating community review and approval of any changes or alterations to existing Structures on Lots designated for residential use and, thereby, relieving the workload of the DDRC.  Therefore, once a residence has been completed, any changes or alterations must be presented and approved by this three (4) person committee prior to beginning the addition/renovation.  The Declarations require that all three members of this committee shall be residents of Harbison.  Decisions of the RDRD may be appealed to the DDRC whose decision is final.

The current members are:

Design and Development Review Committee


An important service is the regulation of the design and appearance of all new construction. The Design and Development Review Committee (DDRC) is established by the Declaration (Article VIII) to assure that all site plans and construction conform to a high standard of environmental quality. The composition of this committee is specified by the Declarations and the Association’s Board appoints members to the DDRC. Decisions of the DDRC are final and there is no appeal.
