Are we allowed?
If we can't put up fences and they are limiting the amount of grass area we can have enclosed in a birdcage, are we allowed to put a doggy door in our lanai with a 10x10 dog kennel pushed up to the doggy door so the dogs have a potty area? It is not permanent and can be moved to cut the grass and clean up. I emailed ARC about how much grass area can be in a birdcage but got no response.

Buy a house that already has a fenced back yard, there are a few areas that have that already.

Two or three times a year Villagers have had their dog killed by a coyote in TV. Is your dog large, if not, you're talking a risk allowing them to run free even if you're just a few feet away. One of the fellows I play golf with lives in Tall Trees, that smack dab in the middle near heavy commercial businesses and traffic and yet their neighbor's dog was killed last summer in the front yard by a coyote while they were standing in the yard nearby. Here's a thread discussing the matter so you'll believe what I'm saying.

OK, that great that you're already aware of the coyotes. There have been reports of coyotes tearing through lanai screens to kill cats that are left to roam. It's almost impossible to be too safe in Florida.

Definitely stop in Community Standards office and have a conversation with someone. They can and will be very helpful to you.

Regarding the birdcage option, if you go that route, look into PET screening, it is much heavier than normal screen, to the point that cats can climb it and not damage the screening. We have this installed on the lower panels on our bird cage, primarily to keep the outside animals out. It is a little more expensive than regular screening, blocks a little more light, and is much harder to install, I know from personal experience.

In case anyone needs to know for future reference, Community Standards office said there can not be any grass area inside a lanai and you can not have any kennels or anything outside the lanai. So basically this means there is no way to protect your animals except to take them out yourself...and even then we know what can happen. Too bad because I thought the idea of putting in a doggy door that leads to another birdcage with grass would be a great solution. The cats could enjoy that too. Thank you to everyone who replied.
