Post: Fence Material Dispute
Posted by Michael Pinson on 8/04/07
Our homeowners Association does not allow wrought iron fences. However a board member's neighbor installed one anyway. They baord did nothing for the first two years. On year 3 they cited the owner to remove the fence or face legal action. One year later they still did nothing. On Oct 2 I applied for a wrought iron fence material, They did not reply back in writting until 12/31 which they approved my fence but stated I must use wood under the deed restrictions. On Dec 5, 3 weeks prior the stated on video tape at the annual meeting that my neighbors fence was suddenly approved because the board did not respond to his fence application within 30-days, and therefore his fence was approved. The board refused to allow inspection of the supporting DOCS for this on any level. There is no such 30-day rule in the bylaws. They told me they they plan to sue me if I use the exact same fence material when it took almost 90 days for them to reply to my fence application. What case law supports this as selective enforement. They claim that they have the right to approve this fence but not allow any more of the same fence type.
