Building Control / Construction
Building Control Committee & Construction
For any construction project, the FIRST STOP is the Lake Columbia Property Owners' Association (LCPOA).
NO Land or Waterfront Construction of any type on any LCPOA property can begin without first completing all requirements of the Deeded Restrictions, By-laws, Policies and Procedures and receiving approval by the Building Control Committee (BCC) in order to proceed with your permit request to either Columbia Township, Jackson County Department of Transportation (JCDOT) or State of Michigan agencies (EGLE, DNR, etc.).
The LCPOA Deeded Restrictions DOES NOT have a variance approval option. A variance received from Columbia Township will only apply if you have already received approval from LCPOA BCC for your construction project, prior to your permit request to Columbia Township and the Township Ordinances require a variance that does not violate the LCPOA Deeded Restrictions.
The Office, BCC, and Policies and Procedure Committee have created a set of Instructions for Land and Waterfront Construction that is available in the LCPOA Office for all existing and new LCPOA members and on the LCPOA website. Copies of the Instructions are also available at the LCPOA Office for realtors, builders, architects, Columbia Township Office, or anyone who can assist a member with LCPOA Deeded Restrictions construction compliance.
