Pembrooke Homeowners Association

Hello!! I was wondering where to begin on permission for a new fence and bringining it up about 15 feet. Thank you

     Hello, if you are a homeowner in Pembrooke, you should have received a copy of our Covenants and Restrictions for all residents when you purchased your home.  For any home exterior changes, an Architectural Review Application (ARA) must be completed and submitted to the Architectural Review Board.  You can get a copy of this application by contacting Premier Community Managers, Inc. 407-696-5700, ext. 203.  Our community manager is Marianne Smith, or you may contact the ARB via email:  Pembrooke_HOA_ARB@cfl.rr.com.. 

    Our Covenants and Restrictions cover fences:

ARTICLE VI - RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

Section 8. Fences. After appropriate written approvals have been received from the ARB of the Homeowners Association, fences will be permitted, subject to the following restrictions:

a.   Fences shall not exceed six (6) feet in height and shall be made of a wood, metal or masonry material of a style and type approved by the ARB. Posts on stockade type fences must be installed to the inside of the Lot and hidden from public view.

b.   Wood fences are to be left their natural color or may be painted white.

c.    Approved metal fences must be painted white or a brown anodized color.

d.   Approved brick masonry fences may not be painted; all other approved masonry fences must be painted white.

e.   All fences must be properly maintained and, if painted, must be repainted periodically to maintain a good appearance.

f.    Notwithstanding the above, no chain link fences will be permitted.

g.   An Amendment was passed by the Board of Directors to allow fences to be made from PVC material; only white or tan in color are allowed.

h.   Fences shall not be located in front and side yards.

i.    Rear yard fences are permitted but may not extend forward of the back wall of the main structure of the Living Unit. Notwithstanding the above, if a Living Unit, as originally constructed, has a side door, the rear yard fence may be extended forward into the side yard to the extent necessary to incorporate the side door into the fenced rear yard. In addition, the Association may allow fences to extend into side yards if, after a full variance hearing, the Board determines that it would be a hardship on the owner of the Lot to forbid same. The specific standards for the granting or denying of a variance will generally be based on the governmental standards used by Orange County, Florida and shall be adopted and revised by the Board from time to time as a rule.
