What is the name of your state? NC
I have submitted a request for a fence, I have been denied all 3 times, twice by the architectual committee, and once by the board of directors. I live on a corner lot and I want my fence to start at the end of our driveway. Our by-laws state that it must come off the rear corner of your home, Unless approved by the Arch. committee. I have sumitted several reasons for having our fence at the end of the dirveway. I supplied them with both drawings & photographs. I was able to speak to the board of directors about our request, and they still denied it. Why? Because the rules state off the back corner of the house. They have decided that there will be no exceptions. There are a lot of home with the fence starting in the middle of their homes, if I were asking for something different that what is all ready allowed I would understand, but I'm not.
Is there anything legally that I can do? By having our fence start where they want it, it will looks ackward. I would also cost us an extra $5000 - $6000 more because we would have to add on to our driveway, and build a gazebo and do a mass planting to hide the hot tub. Or the other suggestion they had, move our heat pump to the other side of our house, and punch a hole in our brick wall to put a door in so we can put the hot tub were our heat pump was.
What do you think? Is there anything I can do legally to get them to allow me to put up our fence like we want it?
