Acc Fence Guidelines
Approved-1/16/2012
All fences need to be approved in advance of installation by the Elliott Ranch Architectural Control
Committee (Acc). Instructions for submittal of requests may be found on the web site or via Alliance.
This document provides guidelines as to what is generally acceptable fencing in the Elliott Ranch
subdivision, per the CcR's; however, the final approval of any installation resides with the AcC, which
may take into account factors specific to each situation that will modify or supercede these guidelines.
1. All fence requests must be submitted to the AcC with the praposed installation location marked
on a copy of your survey plot. It is the individual homeowner's responsibility to comply with all
governmental codes and regulations pertaining to easements and other constraints. Approval
of a submitted request in no way implies that the Acc has investigated these matters or agrees
a proposed project meets governmental requirements. The AcC reviews these projects for
location and aesthetics only.
On your submittal to the AcC, please indicate that you have coordinated your proposed fence
withiall adjacent neighbors. If they have no objections, please so indicate. If some object,
provide names so the Acc may contact them and hear their views. Objections to conforming
proposals will not result in rejections of requests.
3. In Phase 1-3-No fences will be permitted beyond the front corner of a home. Phase 4 -Fences
beyond the rear corner of the home will be evaluated on a case by case bases but again will not
bepermitted to go beyond the front cornerof the home.
4. Alleys may not be created between two fences. If a neighbor already has a fence along a
property line, you must attempt to tie into that fence with his permission.
5. Fences may not be focated in a dralnage or flood zone as indicated on a survey plots.
