The authoritative recorded Bay Colony (Marion County) CCR/plat found for the Indianapolis subdivision does not provide legible, general fence specifications for materials, colors, maximum heights, post caps, or approval timelines. The fence-related restriction that could be substantiated is the recorded sight-distance rule: no fence, wall, hedge, or shrub planting may obstruct sight lines at intersections/corner lots within the restricted triangular sight-distance area. The recorded plat/covenants also reserve utility/drainage easements and prohibit structures, plantings, or other materials that interfere with those easements, which may affect fence placement. A 2013 Indiana Court of Appeals decision for this same Bay Colony next to Eagle Creek Reservoir describes removal of a chain-link gate/fence in the lake-front access easement context, but it does not establish a general community-wide chain-link material ban.

The process

- 2 Site sketch + spec sheet We do this for youPlot map with the fence line marked, plus the material/height/style page boards want to see.
- 3 ARC packet submitted We do this for youFiled in your HOA's preferred format — you get copies of everything.
- 4 Board review — 1 to 3 weeksBigger neighborhoods meet monthly; complete packets usually approve on the first pass.
- 5 Approved — posts go inYour install slot is held during review, so approval doesn't cost you the season.
