Per The Preserve at Rock Creek HOA Documents, Section VIII, the Architectural Guidelines, Number 7, Fences, there should be no front yard fencing in the community; and no side or rear yard fencing without prior approval of the Covenants Committee. End-unit townhouses may be allowed to construct side-yard fencing, but ONLY when approved by the Covenants Committee.
It is recognized that deer pose a threat to plantings and that some forms of plant protection may be required. Some examples of what will be allowed are shown on the next page. In general, no posts that resemble a fence-like or actual fence structure shall be allowed in the front yards per the guidelines already in place. Again any side or rear yard fencing (side and rear for end-unit townhomes ONLY) MUST be approved by the Covenants Committee and follow all of the fencing guidelines.
Any barrier-type structure used to minimize deer damage to plantings should have a minimum of visual impact to the gardens around the home. When possible, black or dark green netting should be used to create a barrier to deer or other animals so as to minimize visual impact on the property. No fencing or like-fencing should be seen or used in the front or side yards and rear yards without prior approval.
Any unapproved fencing shall be removed within 30 days of receiving this letter or will be considered in violation of the HOA Guidelines set forth at The Preserve at Rock Creek.
