The board has been asked recently to clarify the HHCO position on fencing in the neighborhood.

Here is a list of fencing guidelines:

• Note that fencing of any kind is discouraged because we consider Huntington Highlands a ‘greenbelt’ community, and we prefer landscaping over hardscaping.
• For pet control, we strongly urge residents to use electronic ‘invisible fencing.’
• All fencing requests must be submitted to the HHCO Board of Directors in written form with a to-scale diagram of the property and the proposed fence.
• The HHCO has 30 days in which to respond to the fencing proposal.
• In general, the fencing proposal must meet the following conditions:
  • Fencing is not allowed in the front portion of the property. Fencing visible from the street will be kept to a minimum.
  • The fence must be no closer than 10 feet to your property line and no taller than 6 feet.
  • If the neighbors request it, landscaping between the property line and the fence may be required.
  • The HHCO board must approve fencing material.
• Note that historical precedent or existing fencing will not necessarily be taken into account when the board makes a decision. Each project is decided upon individually.

Thank you.
