Q: My Neighbor is cutting trees! Can’t you do something?!

     Or

     I need to take down a tree or two, what do I need to do?

This is probably the most common concern or question. We ask that first of all, neighbors communicate with neighbors about trees they’d like to take down, or about trees that are being taken down. If are wondering if a neighbor has one have a permit, ask them first. You may also take a look at the county website that will tell you if they have acquired a permit or not (you’ll need the address) or you can call the county at (206) 296-6680, provide the address and they will check for a permit. If you need a permit, begin also with this number.

Q: How do I get approval for a fence?

Fence plans must be submitted to the Architectural committee for approval.  They do not need to be done professionally, but should be of enough detail to define the location of the fence relative to other structures, property lines, driveways, roads, etc.  A description of the fence design and dimensions is also required.   Examples of acceptable fencing materials include split rail, cedar plank, and picket fences.  Fence designs are expected to be in visual harmony with the residence and surrounding residences, and comply with current King County building codes.

Approval of all submitted fence plans will be made in writing by the Architectural Committee under the letterhead of the Mirrormont Community Association, will specifically reference the property affected, and will describe those conditions under which approval has been granted.

Q: May I build a shed?

Sheds and other temporary structures do not generally require an official approval from the architectural committee, provided that the design does not contain: a) a concrete foundation, or b) living space.  It is a good idea to match the shed materials to the house, or make other aesthetically positive choices.  Another option to consider is the use of planted screenings between your new shed and the view of your neighbors.  This thought is often greatly appreciated.
