FENCES AND WALLS

FENCES AND WALLS

Fences and walls or other similar enclosures may be built on any Lot with the prior written approval of the Architectural Committee; provided, however, such fences and walls as may be installed and/or constructed by the Declarant simultaneously with the initial construction of a dwelling on a Lot by the Declarant shall not require Architectural Committee approval. Any approved fence, wall or other similar enclosure shall enclose only rear yards or side yards, shall not extend forward of the rear foundation wall, shall not exceed forty‑two (42) inches in height, unless a greater height is required by law, and shall not impede surface drainage. All fencing shall be decorative (rail, split rail, etc.), and not of chain link or chicken wire, and shall comply with the height, setback and other requirements of applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, wire mesh fencing shall be permitted, provided such fencing is vinyl coated and is used in conjunction with a decorative fence of a type approved by the Architectural Committee. All gates must open inward onto a Lot and shall not open onto another Lot or the Common Area.
