The Design Review Committee (DRC) needs volunteers for this very important committee. As posted on the TrailMark website, the DRC’s vision/philosophy/purpose:
- Encourage consistent quality and design expression throughout TrailMark’s boundaries, while allowing for owner individuality of improvement expression.
- Facilitate restoration of the original high prairie and foothills environment through a distinctive native prairie landscape design. This design uses a combination of traditional sodded lawns, unmowed native grasses, wildflowers, sage, rabbit brush, pine, many other prairie natives, and native moss rock field stones and rounded granite river boulders.
- Define the means by which homes built at TrailMark can be compatible with each other and with TrailMark’s unique setting. This establishes the basis for the DRC’s decisions - Compliance with the spirit of TrailMark’s original design to facilitate mutual enhancement and protection of the TrailMark’s qualities.
- Review and approve/approve with conditions/disapprove/request additional information, all Home Improvement Requests submitted by TrailMark homeowners.
