What you can build and change

Conditional

Fences

Only perimeter fencing is allowed, and it has to be split rail of two rails, no more than four feet high, meeting the architectural standard of the house it belongs to. Anything else needs a written variance from the developer. In the protective screening areas marked on the plat, nothing may be placed except a screen fence, landscaping, a wall or utilities.

Conditional

Sheds & outbuildings

A detached storage structure for lawn tools, pool equipment or other belongings has to be quality construction, kept neat, and blend with the established home, and it goes for approval before it is built. Screening can be required around it. No trailer, tent, shack or outbuilding may be used as a residence.

Landscaping, trees & gardens
