FINAL VERSION substitution and all such amendment or substitutions shall be applicable. Current copies of these two codes, along with such other applicable codes as may be duly approved, shall be available at the Office of the Neighborhood Architect. If the Office of the Neighborhood Architect notes noncompl iance with any bu ilding code, other governmental regulations, or the Sustainability or Fortified Home Guidelines, you may be required to make the necessary changes. Although the developer of the Jobs and.Whitings Neighborhoods and the Office of the Neighborhood Architect are concerned primarily with aesthetic considerations, another one of the primary goals is to also review the submitted applications in order to determine whether the proposed construction conforms to this Code. The developer of the Jobs and Whitings Neighborhood and the Office of the Neighborhood Architect, as well as the Homeowner's Association does not assume responsibility for the following: • The structural adequacy, capacity; or safety features of the structure or any improvement of the structure • Non-compatible or.unstable soil conditions, soil erosion, etc. • Compliance with any or all building codes, safety requirements, and governmental laws, regulations, or ordinances. . • The performance or quality of work of any architect, engineer, or contractor. - Your lot(s) has been sold to you with the requirement tliat you finish your homes) within a specified time as described in your purchase and sale contract.

While such permit allows for significant deference to the flexibility that is inherent in the Rules and the Code, any direct conflict between the Rules or the Code and the Comprehensive Permit must be resolved in favor r of the Permit. These Rules and the Code constitute are incorporated into the Comprehensive Permit and may be enforced by the I\7ashpee Zoning Board under 760 CMR 31.09(4) and J
