In the past, all building plan submittals/approvals have followed a certain process in order to be reviewed and accepted for building in Timber Lakes.  Two sets of plans (prints) were required so that we could use these in determining whether your building project was acceptable to the standards of Timber Lakes CC&R’s and Architectural Control Regulations.  The paper sets were cumbersome, required pick-up and delivery and were somewhat inconvenient.  We had to store these and unfortunately, sometimes they were lost or misplaced by mistake.  Future references to these plans were difficult if they were no longer available.

With the new building season about to start in a few months, we are changing our review process in order to simplify and bring Timber Lakes up to the new ‘electronic’ age.  Just as Wasatch County has gone to electronic submittals, we are doing the same at Timber Lakes.  We believe this will help to expedite the submittal/approval process.

We are now requiring that all plan submittals be in electronic format.  We no longer accept paper submittals (sets of paper drawings).  We ask that you submit your plans to the office electronically (PDFs) by email or a CD delivered to the office.  You will still be required to fill out the required application form as found on the website and provide both the $20 Filing Fee and the $80 Review Fee prior to your plans being accepted for review.

Once we have reviewed your plans, and you have paid the required fees as determined by our review, we can either email the approved drawings back to you or forward them on to the County.  You would be ultimately responsible though for checking with the County to insure that they have received them.

We hope that this new system will streamline the process and be more convenient for all.

Should you have any questions please feel free to email me at buildingplans@timberlakesutah.com.

Just a short reminder to those of you planning to submit building plans for approval this spring. Please make sure that your plans are not smaller than 24” x 36” sheets. Smaller sheets, such as letter size, that have been printed from the web are not acceptable. The County will not accept these for permit purposes either. The plans you submit to Timber Lakes should be two of the same sets you will be submitting to the County for a permit. You can verify the County requirements by calling their office at 435.657.3180.

Before submitting any plans for review, please visit the Construction Information page on the Timber Lakes website for construction information. The website contains all of the necessary instructions, forms and applications needed for plan submittal. Should you have any questions or concerns feel free to send me an email at buildingplans@timberlakesutah.com. I will respond back promptly.

With the start of the construction season coming up, you can significantly streamline the plan approval process for new cabins, additions or remodeling projects, by following some simple guidelines:

1. Lot owners should visit the Construction Information link on this website to review all Timber Lakes documents and requirements for plan approval. Verify that your plans conform to all CC&R’s and Architectural Control Regulations before submittal. Review the Construction Bond and Fee Schedule.
2. Plans should be thorough and indicate all necessary information required for a proper plan review. Information such as Lot number; street name; plat number, total square footage, building material types, setbacks, and building heights should be designated on the drawings.
3. Fill out the Plan Approval Application completely and accurately and provide the proper amount of sets for review. Submit your plan application package at the TLPOA office. Pick up your plans there after the review is complete.

The normal time to review plans is generally 1-2 weeks. Please do not expect same-day turn-around service. We need to verify your application as to official lot owner, location and current status of dues and assessments.

We welcome you to our mountain community and hope that you will make this your special place as we have. We, the members of the TLPOA Board, are here to help and serve you any way we can. Feel free to call any one of us with any concerns, questions, or just to say, “I’m your new neighbor.”
