5. Chain link or wire mesh fences will not be permitted with the exception of small

areas for pet containment. They must be camouflaged with another fence or

landscaping, and concealed from street view.6. Maximum height for the flat top edged fences is 6.0 feet. Dome top edges may

be up to 6 feet, 9 inches at the peek of the dome. If a fence measures a height

differing from his neighbors existing fence, a graduated connection section shallbe installed to allow for a smooth transition of sight line.

7. Ornamental post tops may not exceed 6 inches in height beyond the uppermost

edge of the fence top, and must be of the same color as the fence.

Placement: Fences are to be natural in appearance and complement the general property

design. They must be in harmony with surrounding properties and may not obscure theprincipal view of the neighboring properties. . Front facing fences must not extend

beyond the front elevation of the house. Side and rear fences shall be placed in

accordance with the property line as shown on the lot survey. The fence must be joined

to the neighbors fence if such exists, with his agreement. Fencing material shall not befastened to natural objects such as trees, bushes, or rocks. If a property parcel contains a

utility easement, any fence erected on said easement risks being removed by the affectedutility company at the homeowners expense if utility access becomes necessary. If the

homeowners property abuts a Wekiva Cove common area, care must be taken to assure

the fence is installed completely on the homeowners property line and does not extend

into the common area. No fence shall be installed in a manner which obstructs sight linesand elevations between two and six feet above the road ways on any corner lot within the

triangular area formed by the street property lines and a line connecting them at points

twenty-five (25) feet from the intersections of the street lines, or in the case of roundedproperty corner from the intersection of the property lines extended. The same sight-line

limitations shall apply on any lot within ten feet from the intersections of a street property

line with the edge of a driveway or alley pavement. All fences must adhere to SeminoleCounty codes where applicable.

Addenda: Once more than 50% of a fence installed prior to the adoption of these

guidelines is removed or replaced, all replacement and repair of the fencing on that lot

must then adhere to these guidelines.
