Dear Residents:

Our ARC Handbook of Rules and Regulations and Design Guidelines (the “Handbook”) is adopted pursuant of Article 9, Section 9.3 of the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Ridgewater (the “Declaration”) and is designed to provide an overall framework and comprehensive set of standards, procedures and rules for the development of the community in an orderly and cohesive manner.

Section 3.02 Fences

(a) Only white vinyl semi-private fencing from 4’ to 6’ in height or black wrought iron or aluminum powder coated picket fencing 4’ to 5’ in height is allowed. However, only black wrought iron or aluminum powder coating picket fencing 4’ to 5’ in height will be allowed on Lots 46-54, 55-61, 74-79 and 86-98.

(b) The spacing between the slats of all perimeter fencing shall not be less than one and one-half (1 ½”) inches and all such slats shall be installed on the exterior, if applicable.

(c) A single-fence is permitted between adjacent lots sharing a common property line. All fencing must be installed on or within three (3”) inches of shared property lines to permit future fence connectivity of adjoining property owners.

(d) Chain link, split rail, vinyl, composite, wood privacy or any other type of metal fencing (not described in 3.02 (a)) in any form is strictly prohibited (including dog pens / runs of any material).

(e) Fences are not permitted in the front yard and must tie into the home no closer to the street than the rear building corners of the dwelling. Under no circumstances may an applicant erect a fence outside of the property line. In the event of an obstacle, the homeowner must shift the fence inside the boundary line of the lot.
