FENCING REGULATIONS

Applicable to All Units of Village Green

Article 23 of the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions states:

"No fences or walls shall be erected, placed, or altered on any lot or parcel unless approved by the Board of Directors of the Association."

The Board of Directors appreciates that circumstances may warrant the erection of fences or walls.  Such erections will be approved only when the owner is willing to install the fence or wall in a manner which does not detract from the appearance of the neighborhood.

The following will be the general guide in evaluating each case:

1.      No fences or walls in front or side yards.

2.      No portion of the fence or wall may be closer to the front street than the rear of the house.

3.      For corner lots, the fence or wall shall not be closer to the side street than the end of the house. 

4.      The fence or wall must be set back from other property lines sufficient to permit the fence owner to mow between the fence and the adjacent property line.  A setback distance of three feet is suggested.

5.      Maximum height permitted will be 54 inches.

6.      Chain link fences will not be allowed.

7.      The owner must submit a detailed plan showing what will be done to enhance the appearance from the street.  Some suggestions are the use of wood posts and rails with wire backing instead of the standard chain link, climbing roses on fences, flowers in front of the fence, etc.

8.      The owner must appear at a Board of Directors meeting to request approval for the installation.  The request will be noted in the minutes of the Board meeting.
