As stated in article V, Section 3, if the ACC does not approve or disapprove an application within forty-five (45) days after receipt of an application consisting of a complete set of plans and specifications, its application will be deemed disapproved. In all other events, the approval must be in writing and must be received prior to proceeding with any requested exterior modification.
