No fence or screen will be approved if its installation will obstruct necessary sight lines for vehicular traffic. Undue obstruction of view or other amenities from adjoining properties will be taken into consideration by the Committee when reviewing fences for approval. No front yard fencing shall be approved by the Committee.
Except for the rear yard that adjoins 79th Street or Payne Road and initially installed by the Declarant, no fence will be permitted by the Committee taller than 42 inches from normal and typical ground level.
If approved by the Committee, fences may be privately installed but must be constructed to professional levels of quality and must match the design, material, composition, and color of the perimeter fence installed by the Declarant initially, with the exception of height.
Non-professionally installed fences will be inspected by the Committee after completion in order to ensure that the final product is of professional quality and final approval of the fence shall be deemed withheld until successful completion of this final review.
All fences shall be kept in good repair. No fence may be installed outside of any property lines.
(i) Height Restriction.
The environmental integrity of the community will be materially lessened if the open nature of the community is damaged by a proliferation of fences of excessive height. The Declarant, therefore, will consider rear perimeter fences only up to 42 inches in height which otherwise meet these guidelines. The use of six (6) foot fences around patio areas of a backyard, not to exceed 16 ft. x 14 ft., in order to secure privacy for immediate patio or if approved, to enclose an in ground pool area may be permitted. The specific fence height restrictions are as follows.
- (a) Lot fencing and walls above grade shall not exceed 42 inches above grade.
- (b) Patio screens/privacy fences shall not exceed 6 six (6) feet in height adjoining the rear of home.
- (c) No fence placed on a lot in the Development abutting a lake shall exceed forty two (43) inches in height beyond a point sixteen (16) feet from the rear of the house constructed on such lot.
- (d) The Declarant, or thereafter, the Committee may amend or change, any of the above restrictions.
(ii) Materials and Finish
- (a) Wood fencing or screening is the only fencing which will be allowed. All wood fencing and design must be approved by the Committee and similar in design, and color to the development's perimeter fencing and using cedar materials.
- (b) the installation of a chain link, metal, vinyl or other galvanized metal fencing will not be permitted.
- (c) Walls above grade must be constructed of natural stone, masonry, or shadowbox fencing.
(iii) Approval
The exact location, material, color and height of the fence and picture shall be submitted to the Committee for written approval 30 days prior to proposed construction.
