                                       6.3  Walls and Fences
  No fence or wall shall be erected, placed, or altered on any Lot nearer to any street than said minimum building setback line unless the same be a retaining wall of masonry construction which does not in any event rise above the finished grade elevation of the earth embankment so retained, reinforced, or stabilized, except that this restriction shall not apply to fences or walls which have been approved by the Architectural Control Committee pursuant to Article 5 above. The exposed part of retaining walls shall be made of clay brick, natural stone, stucco, railroad ties, or veneered with brick or natural stone. Chain link fences are prohibited except when the Architectural Control Committee gives written approval. Furthermore, to guarantee the preservation of a particular view for adjoining and nearby land owners there shall not be erected or placed a fence, wall, tree, or shrub that may at present or in future obstruct the view from any other Lot unless and except as approved by the Architectural Control Committee. No fencing shall be allowed in the front yard nor shall fencing be allowed past the rear house corner toward the front yard except when the Architectural Control Committee gives written approval. In addition to any other remedies, either Developer or Architectural Control Committee shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time, without liability to Owner for trespass to enter upon any Lot and remove any improvement, constructed or maintained in violation of this Declaration or trim any tree or shrub obstructing the view of any Lot. 

                                                   ARB
  4.1.1 Fences not exceeding 6’ (72”) high are permitted in the rear yard, provided they are within the property lines. Front yard fences are not permitted. Fences are not permitted forward the rear of the home without an approved variance. An example of which would be that the neighbors home is set forward so if both homeowner’s installed a fence then the fence would be even with each other. No double fencing is permitted. For those with DR Horton fences which come forward the home, these must be removed when both homeowners install fences at the rear of the home.

  4.1.2 **FENCES MUST ENCLOSE FROM THE REAR OF HOME AND ENCLOSE THE REAR YARD. NO PARTIAL FENCING WILL BE PERMITTED.** Homeowner may choose to enclose most of their rear yard but leave a portion of the yard outside of their fence line. Homeowner must maintain entire yard. An example of this is installing a fence from rear of the home back to rear of home but not fencing in 2 feet around the property line to allow for access for maintenance. This would be acceptable.

  4.1.3 All fences are to be constructed of white vinyl. Post tops cannot exceed 6” above top of fence. No Board on Board, Privacy or chain link fences will be allowed. Semi-Privacy fences are ok. Styles such as Universal, Picket, Traditional, and Decorative are all acceptable.

  4.1.4 Each fence will be required to have a front and rear gate for access and maintenance.

  4.1.5 Fences must be at least 2 feet deep from the top of the slope on lake lots. Lake lot owners must maintain from slope to water level. Homeowners located on corner lots cannot build the fence along the property line that is adjacent to the road. In this instance the fence would be located along the building setback. Homeowners with Easements across their property may not build fences in the easement.

  4.1.6 Those with previously approved wooden fences are grandfathered in. If the fence needs to be replaced then the current ARB standards will apply. All fences must be pressure washed yearly and maintained.

  Information needed for Fences: be as specific as possible. If you have questions, please                                              call a member of the ARB Committee.
