I understand that a POA board member can not serve on the ACC committee. Does the POA board have final approval for request? IF they do have final say then what is the purpose of the ACC?

Some Associations have an Architectural Control Committee (ACC aka ARB) to simply do the research and advise the board.
Some Associations have an ACC that has the authority to make the decision and the Board is there when an owner want's to appeal the ACC decision to a higher authority.
What authority your Association gives the ACC may be in the CC&Rs, the Bylaws, a written Resolution or simply doesn't exist in writing.
If it doesn't exist in writing, unfortunately, each board can make that decision on their own.
In my area, we were advised that if the ACC is not mentioned in the CC&Rs as the approving authority, then they may only review as the final decision would be with the Board.
