Who approves changes to the outside of my home?

During the Development Period, the approver is the “Hidden Trails Reviewer”: the Declarant or its designee. The Association, the Board and any committee they appoint may not involve themselves in approving improvements.

No improvements may be started during the Development Period without the Reviewer’s prior written approval. The Declarant may grant or withhold it at its sole discretion. In reviewing an application, it may act solely in its own self-interest and owes no duty to any other person or organization.

That is a summary in plain words. The passages below are what the documents actually say, and they are the authority.
