Putting a fence up - Page 3

I just looked u the covenants to re read them. It says no lot perimeter fencing and no privacy fence unless it’s around a pool area. Then it needs to be approved. So it really does come down to what is lot perimeter fence lol. He really can’t say no to the pool fence because it says that’s ok.

I told my dad to use my disability if he has to. I don’t fhink we are going to need a attorney yet. Since we haven’t even approached them about the fence yet. It might go well and he might not have a problem.

I am not a lawyer, but I don’t see how your disability will help you get a fence if it is forbidden.

i would think that if dog was needed for your disability to assist you with certain tasks, it would help, but a disabled person with a companion dog who resides in the same home would not be helpful reason in getting things overturned.

You might want to figure out a way that dog is needed for your disability and get something in writing from your doctor, if you can. You dog would have to supply some service to you because of your disability.

The fact that you can’t let him out to go potty by yourself isn’t gonna do it.

We weren’t really talking what is legal with the dog. We were just thinking if we explained the situation maybe he would be easier to pursuade. Lol. My parents are hoping that when they go to my sisters for the weekends Chloe can stay with me instead of asking my other sister to take her.

It really will come down to what is considered a lot perimeter fence.

There may sleo be a out. Because it says once the lots are sold the developer loses voting rights. So now that two more houses were built they are out voted 4 to 2.

My dad just got back from hr neighbors. He had no clue that the covenants said he could put a fence around a pool. He was just taking the developers word no fence can be put up. So my dad is going to sit down with him and go over the covenants.

There is also a clause my dad put in there when they were working on the covenants. It says as far as fencing and landscaping no reasonable thing will be with held as long as it doesn’t interfere with the neighbors property. The lawyer that looked over the covenants before we bought the property had us put that clause in there.

@ccassaday That could be good news as long as your neighbors want fences and like chain link fences. They are not popular here in new neighborhoods.

Those expensive rod iron fences seem to be popular though. They aren’t helpful When you have a little dog like a Yorkie. they can get though them easily.

@ccassaday ~ I haven't read all the responses so please forgive me if I'm being repetitive.

We just put in a 6 foot tall privacy fence all along one side of our house. We also had a 3 foot picket fence put in the front of the house along the sidewalk. We had to fill out a form, obtain a permit, and pay $50.00 for the pleasure of having the permit. When the work was complete we had to contact to city to come out and inspect everything to make sure it is up to code. Thankfully, it was. Every city/town is different, but I would definitely do my homework before starting any work for a fence. Trust me, these things can come back to bite you in the butt if all your t's aren't crossed. :-)

We wont a problem with the neighbor that wants the pool. He is super nice. He is from another country and fought in the Bosian war. He is only like 33. He must of been a kid. The other neighbor has two goldens and has a invisible fence. He is weak and won’t stand up to the developer. He said he was told no. Get this when they bought the house his wife was planting a rose bush in memory of her Mom who passed. He came over to her and goes did you get permission to plant that. She told him to get lost. She is strong but her husband is weak.

The other neighbor has a golden also and a Pomsky. The golden stays in his yard but the Pomsky is a runner. They are getting a invisible fence this summer. That Pomsky will probably run right through that. We will see if he cares we put one up.

We had a green chain link at the old house. It was 12 years old and never rusted and looked nice. It would be so expensive to do anything else with that big of a area.

We are in the county outside of city limits. No permit is needed.😃

It sounds like people are buying into some kind of development with regulations and then getting mad when they are enforced (neighbor, not you guys).

This is how it is when you sign on to places with rules, regulations, zoning, HOAs etc.

Trying to scheme and gang up will just alienate the powers that be. Doesn't sound like there was any deception, so people now have to follow the rules and put up with ambiguities as that is what they agreed to.
