1. Our HOA allows 5' non-privacy fence with 1" opening between slats. When the neighborhood was first built a 6' privacy fence was built on back of all houses on one side of the neighborhood. A homeowner has an approved 5' non-privacy fence but he now wants to change it to a 6' privacy fence based on this. Does he have a case?
2. Fence rules are for fences that can be seen from the street, right? Our HOA has nothing specific (no different criteria) for fences between backyards. So if this homeowner wants a 6' non-privacy fence between backyards and his neighbor is fine with it, then can he go ahead?
3. What if he keeps the 5' non-privacy where it is, and just behind it (within his yard) builds a 6' privacy fence? Will he have broken any rule- since can he pretty much do what he wants within his yard? Would this be equivalent to growing trees on the inside of his fence?
