Hoover Crossing Homeowners Association
Covenants and Restrictions
Referencing Fencing
Please submit via email or
fax your plans for fencing. All fencing
must conform to the following covenants and restrictions and be approved in
writing by the HOA Board prior to the installation.
-
Homeowner is responsible to submit to board for
review a scope of work detailing the specs for installation of fencing. Specs must include location, material,
height, color of proposed fence.
Written approval is required from the Board prior to installation
of fencing. All above requirements
must be met for Board approval.
-
City permit must be obtained and you must be in
compliance with all applicable zoning requirements with the City of Grove
City.
- Fences or walls shall be constructed of wood,
wrought iron, approved plastic, vinyl, certain styles of aluminum, stone
or brick only. In no event shall
chain link or other metal or wire fencing be constructed- as it will not
be permitted.
- No fence or wall shall be constructed in excess
of seventy two inches (72”) above finished grade. Fence height is measured
at the top of the highest point of the fence. This means that for a scalloped design,
fence height is measured at the top of the peaks, not the bottom of the
valleys in the fence.
- All fences must be clear-coated, stained, or
painted to prevent natural graying of the wood. Additionally, fences must be
clear-coated or stained a natural wood color or painted a solid color
(opaque stain or paint) matching or complementing the color of the house
and should be described in your written plan for submittal to the HOA Board.
- The fence must be installed “beauty side” out, with all structural members of the fence on
the inside of the facing boards.
- Homeowner is responsible for the upkeep and
general maintenance of the fence.
Fence is to be maintained in a condition that continues to meet the
specs that was initially submitted by the homeowner for Board approval.
This includes replacement of rotten or broken fence slats and/or posts and
maintaining the approved color (clear coat, stain or paint) that was
approved by the board.
- Fences or walls shall not be located closer to
the street than a line parallel to the street and extending from the
midpoint between the front and rear corners of the home, and in no event
shall fences be located closer to any street than the building line shown
on the recorded plat except for ornamental railings, walls or fences not
exceeding three feet (3’) in height which are located on or adjacent to
entrance platforms or steps. Any
fencing exceeding (3’) in height must be located in the rear of the home
as situated on the lot.
- Treated wood split rail fences are
permitted. Dark painted wire mesh
or plastic mesh attached to a split rail fence is permitted.
- In general, the Hoover Crossing Home Owners
Association Board does not allow for a fence alignment that “jogs” (i.e.,
around utility junction boxes). Fencing
must be located to parallel to property lines and set back sufficiently
enough to allow for the maintenance of the area on your property outside
of the fenced area without requiring entry onto adjacent property and
either incorporates the utility box(es) into the fenced area, or to
exclude a strip of land, typically uniform in width, along the entire
property line. If a fence is
installed to exclude a strip along the rear line, a gate must be installed
along the rear fence line to provide access for you to maintain the
portion of the lot located outside of the fence.
- Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted or
construed to permit the use of approved fencing materials to accomplish a
purpose or use otherwise prohibited within the deed restrictions.
