Very sensible post. Assuming the reason for no fence is to protect the look of the neighborhood as originally designed. Then take into account that you cannot see the fence from the street, it is a animal protection device that is only seen by the owner.

No brainier to me. Amend the rules to allow them under these circumstances.
