FENCING AND PATIO AREAS
There have been some questions regarding our fencing and the patio areas throughout the community. To clarify, our fencing is a wood material and painted a select brown color to maintain a consistent aesthetic on the exterior throughout Condo V. Unless changes have been required over the years, the wood slats are made of cypress, which is a natural, very durable species and rot-resistant wood. The structural elements (posts and top rails) are typically pressure-treated pine. In general, the fencing has held up very well. However, if the condition has degraded at your location, please submit a work order so an inspection can be scheduled, and as-needed repairs and/or replacement can be reviewed for approval by the board. Please remain aware that any changes to the alignment or extension to fencing must be requested in writing, along with a sketch to the board for review and potential approval, prior to any construction activity taking place. If an extension is approved, the cost of the same is the owner’s responsibility. Condo V is only responsible for the maintenance of the original extents of the fencing. Modified or extended areas are the responsibility of the homeowner.
Following are excerpts from the Condo V By-Laws addressing fencing and irrevocable restricted areas (patios).
IRREVOCABLE RESTRICTED AREAS
1. The land which is located directly beneath each home (except second story garden apartments) is restricted in use to the owner of such a home.
2. The area bounded by the surface of the wooden fence erected by the Sponsor becomes a restricted common area. Such area shall also be bounded by the exterior surface of the building containing the homeowner’s home and, in the event that such area has a side open to the unrestricted area not bounded by any fence, gate or building, then such end shall be bounded by the outside edge of the patio or by the near boundary of the walkway installed by the Sponsor which adjoins such area in the case of all other homes.
The homeowner cannot change the landscaping of any land located in an unrestricted common area or in any area restricted to any other homeowner, nor can a fence be erected any place in the community without the prior consent of the Board of Managers.
The common elements shall remain undivided, and no homeowner shall bring any action for partition or division unless otherwise provided by law.
IF YOU SEE IT, REPORT IT
Even though we reside in a gated community, we must be alert of our surroundings. The personnel that man the booth at the gate are not authorized to provide enforcement action in response to any illegal or dangerous situations. Their form of defense is the telephone. They are instructed to call the emergency service required for the situation, but they cannot perform the duty of an official trained in enforcement, rescue, or first aid.
If you observe something suspicious or see an unauthorized act or unsafe event, note the time and date of the incident and contact the HOA administrator/manager who will follow up on the infraction or safety issue. If a vehicle is involved, note the license plate, model and color of the vehicle, and if possible, the description of the person(s) involved. The administrator will contact the police, and they will authorize a review of videos that may have been recorded at the time and date of the incident, if reported within seven days. Do not take matters into your own hands, your safety is the number one priority.
