If they wanted to park six cars and trucks in their driveways and store junk in their yard, they could. Mobile homes were welded to old schools buses to make additions to their domicile. Down the street there could be a gorgeous Georgian colonial, but that homeowner had no right to impinge on his neighbor in anyway, unless there was a danger from the stored junk. The Villages has all these covenants and rules and all they do is interfere with the free American spirit of "live free or die" which had its origin in the American Revolution. There should be no restrictions whatsoever. The people who complain about violations to the covenants should realize that no one cares, not even the authorities. The reason I know this is that the authorities wait for a complaint to be made before enforcing any rules. This pits neighbor against neighbor and almost guarantees that most people will not complain. Let's face it, who wants to turn a neighbor in?

HUMMMMMM. Your example would come closer to doing harm to the neighborhood than a simple hidden fence, hence would be why the rules are written. Let's keep the intent of rules in place as the hidden fence would do.
