Fences cannot be placed beyond the front building line. Solid fencing must be set back from front building line.
• Landscaping: Every lot must have at least two 7' trees (3" caliper or larger) between front property line and front building line. Automatic irrigation is required for all improved landscaped areas. Removal of trees 4" caliper or larger requires ACC approval and replacement. Gravel as main ground cover is not permitted; white rock and artificial landscaping are not allowed.
