Architectural Control
ACC reviews ALL building activity throughout the Lake Shannon community, including new homes, additions, decks, seawalls, etc. As of March 9, 2026, the Board has adopted a “Solar Energy Policy” to comply with the Michigan Homeowners’ Energy Policy Act 68 of 2024, which is effective as of April 1st, 2026. The policy and application are located below for Solar Energy which requires approval by the ACC committee.
We need to approve ALL your construction and solar plans PRIOR to construction. Residents must fill out a Lake Shannon Architectural Control Committee building application and allow two weeks for ACC approval. Approval time for solar application is within 30 days after receipt of the written application. We work with local townships and county officials to review all building activity on Lake Shannon.
During any landscaping or construction activity around your home please talk with your contractors to take appropriate precautionary action not to damage the road surface when they move any heavy equipment or material. Any road damage costs every association owners eventually.
A copy of the ACC Building and Solar Application are provided below. If you have any questions, please contact Bob Harde at (810) 923-6076 or [email protected].
When you have completed the ACC Building or Solar application give Bob a call to set up a meeting for ACC review and approval.
Committee Members: Greg Witten and Andy Pless.
