The design review process has been developed to insure that all new construction, alterations and renovations to existing buildings, major site Improvements and sign work conform to the guiding principles of The St.
Kitts Peninsula as outlined in the Design Guidelines. Final approval from the DRB will result in Christophe Harbour’s submission of the plans to the St. Kitts Development Control and Planning Board for their review and subsequent issue of the building permit.
The design review process has been structured to operate as efficiently as possible, while still taking special care to ensure that consistent aesthetic standards are applied. When reviewing design and construction projects, the DRB will be looking for compliance with the principles outlined in this document as well as additional standards which may be established in select areas.
The DRB evaluates all development proposals on the basis of the Design Guidelines. Some of the Guidelines are written as broad standards and the interpretation of these standards is left up to the discretion of the DRB. An application is available from the DRB for each type of submission. Each submission must be accompanied by the required information, as specified in these Guidelines, and select area/neighborhood guidelines. Owners and/or design consultants are encouraged to attend preliminary or final review meetings as applicable.
EFTJHOSFWJFXQSPDFTTPWFSWJFX
The design review process, unless otherwise noted, takes place in four steps:
Pre-Design Conference Preliminary Design Review Final Design Review Final Landscape Review
Any Improvement as described above will require advance submission of plans and specifications describing the proposed Improvements and must be accompanied by an application form and fee. The Owner shall retain competent assistance from design professionals (Design Team) as appropriate. The Owner and Design Team shall carefully review the CC&R’s and the Guidelines prior to commencing the design review process.
The Owner is to commence construction within one year of final design approval with a licensed, and bonded, Contractor and is to diligently pursue completion of construction within 24 months of start.
SFWJFXGFFT
In order to defray the expense of reviewing plans, monitoring construction and related data, and to compensate consulting Architects, Landscape Architects and other professionals, these Guidelines establish a total fee for each type of review payable upon submittal of the initial project application. Fees for resubmission shall be established by the DRB on a case-by-case basis. Application fees may be amended annually, as needed. A current fee schedule is included in the Appendix.

The DRB recognizes that each lot and/or building has its own characteristics and that each Owner has their own individual needs and desires. For this reason, the DRB has the authority to approve deviations from any of the Guidelines. It should be understood, however, that any request to deviate from these Guidelines will be evaluated at the sole discretion of the DRB. Prior to the DRB approving any deviation from a Guideline, it must be demonstrated that the proposal is consistent with the overall objectives of these Guidelines and that the deviation will not adversely affect adjoining properties or the Peninsula as a whole.
The DRB also reserves the right to waive any of the procedural steps outlined in the Guidelines upon demonstration of good cause.
OPOXBJWFS
An approval by the DRB of drawings, specifications, or work done or proposed, or in connection with other matters requiring approval under the Guidelines, including a waiver by the DRB, shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of the right to withhold subsequent approval. For example, the DRB may disapprove an item shown in the final design submittal even though it may have been evident and could have been, but was not, disapproved at the preliminary design review. An oversight by the DRB of non-compliance at anytime during the review process, construction process or during its final inspection does not relieve the Owner from compliance with these Guidelines and all other applicable codes, ordinances, and laws.
