That is absolutely out of compliance, I'm 100% certain.

The deed standard enforcer insisted in measuring only the plants at 4 feet and disregarded the berm. The total height varies between 7 and 8 feet in height. I asked the enforcer if I could create a 10 foot high berm and maintain a 4 hedge on top for a total barrier of 14 feet similiar to my neighbors but a little higher. His response was, don't be ridiculous.
you can do it, but they would come up with the issue of interfering with natural water runoff at that height & slop I suppose????

I also think the biggest you can build a berm is about 4' high because you need a slop or grade on each side so maybe at 4' tall it needs 6' on each side plus the width across the top of at least 2-3 '

So that's about 15' wide by 4' tall that size is used by several of the Patio Villa entrances on Anna Maria and in the very new Hillsborough PV'

I still cannot determine why it was OK for my neighbors but ridiculous for me. I telling you that the deed restrictions offices have practically no enforcement powers what so ever...
I have the person to contact who has that power, if interested.
PM me.

see pics, notice how those berms ARE on the ROW, they can do that we can't!

PS:Florida Friendly law says we can, but they still say no, figure that one out!
