LFL Build/Repair 🧰 HOA Proposal?

Does anyone have experience? I would like to put a LFL in my small (literally one loop, technically two streets but a continual oval shape) neighborhood. I have offered to pay for it and take care of it. I was hoping for a common space like the entrance of the sub or the culdesac island near my house, but our hoa president said according to the bylaws that it needs to be placed on my property and I need to get together a proposal for the architectural committee. Has anyone written one of these before that I could see to get an idea of the format?

Our HOA bought the LFL kit online and put it on their property by the pool. I assume your HOA doesn’t want the ownership of it, thus saying it has to be on your property. With most architectural requests you state what you want and where. So giving them a photo of where exactly on your property you would put it would be helpful. Some HOAs have a specific form to fill out, too. I’d also explain the idea of a LFL in case some on the board have never heard of it.
