He did not say anything about planting a certain distance from the fence line. I am now wondering if there are planting restrictions for the newly built homes which are back to back (those without fences). He indicated I can remove the small bushes put there by the builder and replace with taller plants for added privacy. Sounds like I need to have another discussion with my villages realtor to get clarification. Thanks everyone.
IMHO, get it in writing, then do your due diligence by researching the plot (plat) drawing as it will show the lot lines, the build lines, and any right of way lines. The village agents are just that agents FOR THE BUILDER, they do not represent you in any manner.
