One Single-Family Home Application was reviewed by ARC and recommended for approval at the January Board Meeting. Nine other applications were reviewed. Four were recommended for approval and five were held for additional information.

Effective January 28, 2026 there were 50 new homes in the approved construction process. Thirty-one are in Active construction status, 15 have Charlotte County construction permits in Expired status, and four are currently undergoing initial review by Charlotte County. Many of the homes in Expired construction status are experiencing delayed construction or contractor abandonment issues that have resulted in violations of the Association’s Clean Site Program. The violations are being addressed on a case-by-case basis using Clean Site and Builder’s Completion Deposit Funds to pay for site cleanup. Legal counsel has been engaged as necessary.

The following architectural projects were either approved or conditionally approved by the Burnt Store Lakes Board of Directors during the January 13 Board Meeting:
