I understand that there are limitations, however like most of the enforcement of restrictions these are complaint driven, and Architectural Review looks the other way. And many landscapers do not bother to even submit the plans for A.R.

we went before the Architectural Review to have a brick wall approved and was told no wall could be built in the front of the house as it is considered a fenced in area. Go figure, I see them all the time.

You say you went before the AR. Did you provide information about "I see them all the time"? How high was this brick wall? Was it a landscape wall?

Good question. I see them in new sections, but also in some pictures of resales. Usually the walls are surrounding a patio in the back yard. I'm assuming by now that some of the wall builders have contacted the ARC for approval. I'm also wondering about ARC limits on height and diameter.

This is what the denial said, Wall height outside building setback line and no free standing wall will be approved in the front of the home.....
This is what we wanted, Build freestanding wall 28 inches high and 15 feet long in front of the house. Wall will be glued and rebar thru structure and using 8 inches of limestone at base. Inside of the wall will be pavers inside. (This is what our contractor put on the application form, with drawings and pictures. |

Interesting. We have a wall in the front of our house with pavers. Maybe because your wall was going to be glued and had rebar. Our wall is just stacked and can be removed, done by a landscaper, not a construction contractor. We were told they approve landscaping walls easier than walls created by construction companies because the ARC feels landscaping is temporary. We got ARC approval.

Forgot to mention, you have to stay within those set backs, nothing within 2 feet of the property line for landscaping and I believe it is much farther in the front and back. Maybe your wall was too far toward the street?

This was from our landscaping contractor, not a construction contractor. Our home sits way back from the road, so I am not sure what those setbacks were. We have a large Palm in front of the pavers and the wall was going to be put behind that, up by our front porch. After we were denied , we just forgot about the wall and planted plants.
