Don't forget the barefoot wench cleaning while he enjoys the view he stole.

Love this thread!

My view is my view! My neighbors view is their view. By view, I mean looking straight out from anywhere inside your lot line. It is not possible for anyone to block your view looking straight out from your lot on a golf course. The problem here is that some people think their view is a 180 degree view, which in reality, is their view combined with their neighbors on either side. It is not my neighbor's job to preserve my view from their yard, since the view in their yard is their view.

Now this makes sense....never thought of it this way. I know we would all love the unubstructed 180 view....but unfortunately, we take our chances unless we own a few acres.

I think in TV it's pretty obvious, you get what you pay for.

Yes, Patty, you do get what you pay for, and unfortunately those views come at quite a price tag! We all wish the views were panoramic and expansive, but alas, they are as wide as the lot you purchase.
We are very blessed in this country to have this much space around us, including the views. 90% of the world's population couldn't imagine it.
I love The Villages!

Yep, I hope nobody was planning a stealth move.

The real issue here is that our neighbors sole purpose for putting this hedge fence is to create a "doggy park" for his dogs. Those are his exact words. The sole purpose of this hedge fence is to keep his dogs on his property WITHOUT a leash. The hedges are not landscaping purposes. They are to create a dog park/fence in his yard. The second issue is that this doggy park/hedge fence will block our view. The Covenants &Restrictions clearly states, and I quote "pets must be controlled on a leash when not in the confines of the home." It also states "No fence, barrier, wall or structure of any kind or nature shall be placed on the property. No side or rear hedges exceeding (4) feet in height shall be permitted.". So, if I understand this correctly, he may put in hedges in, but not so that they create a barrier or wall structure. I overheard him say it would be about 200 shrubs he would be planting. Sounds like a barrier or fence to me. I'm not so sure this topic has gotten out of hand. People are putting in their 2 cents and isn't that what this forum is for?? Everyone has an opinion. It's ok to express your opinion. I never said we were goi g to sue, in fact I said that wasn't for us....we are not that kind of people. Lastly, as for getting along with our neighbors...we are very social with EVERYONE except for this newest one. He has chosen the wrong path....not us. The new neighbor has had an attitude from the start, putting himself in the position of not being welcome by others.
Ike I said before, the neighbors beside him are upset by his doggy park escapades as well. I appreciate everyone's input. We are continuing to follow up on this and will work with the Village District To make sure everyone follows the rules.

[jimbo2012]

Sounds like you have a plan and the regulations on your side.

Wouldn't an invisible fence serve the same purpose at a much lower cost - both financially and emotionally? Had a Great Dane that crossed the fence once - company came back and tuned it up and he never made that mistake again. Yes momentarily it's
probably not the most pleasant experience, but it paid off with years of being able to roam the yard, chase the geese, and pretty much have an awesome and free experience.
I believe it is a one in a million chance the dog won't get it. They can play as free as they were meant to be, the owner has his own dog park and the neighbors are happy. Has anyone considered this option????

The other party to this issue has not chimed in, so how would we know what he really is thinking?
You may want to go back and read all the posts...........it was mentioned early on a dog fence was being considered

There is some wise advice in this post.

The OP has a problem with the dog running is his own yard off leash.

[RichieLion]

If the landscaping is approved by Community Standards, I think that's the end of this story. The "offending" homeowner would have found a significant loophole to the restrictions the OP has stated.

I wish the OP luck, but a homeowner has the rights to his own property.
