Subject: response gto J.D. ACC

Why did we say, no mpore chain link fences ! The simple answer to the question is: we did not say, no more chain link fences. If you were a new resident and drove around The Farm, one would think that this is becomming S.E. Los Angeles, We said no more chain link fences between a home and the streetline of the property. What we said is that it is our intention to approve or disapprove based on the ACC guide lines, It is unfortunate that one can drive around and see any chain link fences that enclose the area of a home between it and the street. Since you are speculating on a rumor, here is why we are simply going to enforce the rules, as our preticessors should have done, It might be that the folks who have them, received written permission, but even that is unfortunate. no one will get it from us from here on.
Begin with the 1995 AC rules as revised in May of 1995, at the bottom of page 5. The rule discussed the types of fencing allowed. and I qquote: "All fences must be approved by the cOMMITTEE. Block wall, Solid wood, grape stake, split rail and chain link ARE NORMALLY APPROVED. MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF ALL FENCES NOT TO EXCEED SIX FEET".
At THE TOP OF PAGE 6 OF THE RULES INDER PROPERTY lINE fENCES: "Must be "good neighbor" or courtesy fences, which means that all poles, posts, and horizontal members must face to the inside of the lot. Variance to this requirement may be considered with written consent and approval of the property owner of the adjoining property. This variance, if granted, must be surrendered to the ACC for their files.
Under, "Lots Less Than One-Half Acre: "The fencing or wall shall go no closer to the street than the front of the house, except by a written approved variance from the ACC.

Under Front Property Line: it states "Only decorative fencing not more than 40 inches high and defined as open, such as split rail, wrought iron, etc., will be approved.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WE DID NOT SAY NO MORE CHAIN LINK FENCES, IN EFFECT WE SAID WE ARE GOING TO ENFORCE THE RULES. WE CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PAST, BUT WE SURELY CAN ENFORCE WHAT GOES ON TODAY AND BEYOND. IF YOU WANT A FENCE TO ENCLOSE YOUR STREET SIDE PROPERTY, IT IS GOING TO BE AS STATED WITH OUR APPROVAL OR NOT AT ALL.
HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, IN BEHALD OF THE ACC

PHASE REPRESENTATIVE FOR PHASES 2,3 & 4
