Perimeter Fencing

Posted in: Towne Lake Garden

Who is responsible for maintaining the fences surrounding the outer edges of Towne Lake.... the homeowner or the community ??? The fences to the right of the entry gate are very unsightly and in poor repair. If it is a homeowner responsibilty, has the managemnet or architechual review committee looked into citing those responsible?

The ACC has discussed this several times.  

We have a problem in TLGA--myth is often taken for fact.  Even if TLGA constructed the original fence, the owners may be responsible for maintenance and replacement (regardless of what any real estate agent may have told potential buyers).  Our Declaration does not mandate fences on lots--only that any put up must be no higher than 6 feet and well maintained. 

Lot owners on the lake and in the cul de sacs have to finance, build and maintain fences for their lots if they want them.  Why would the owners adjacent to the gate be different?  I've heard some say that this fence is a boundary  between TLGA and city property, but I've seen no proof that such a boundary is mandated by the city or TLGA legal documents.   

One of the home owners to the left of the gate is replacing the fence for his lot at his own expense.   Bless him.

Maybe we need to get our attorney to give an opinion. It needs to be kept up. I'll say again, the mail boxes are in bad shape too.
