The recorded declaration identifies Bentley Commons in Marion County, Indiana. It states the declarant proposed a combination of wood privacy, chain link, and wrought iron fencing around the perimeter of the tract, with the HOA maintaining that perimeter fencing and complementary landscaping as a common expense. For owner-installed improvements, no fence, wall, dwelling unit, or other structure may be commenced, erected, maintained, improved, altered, made, or done on any lot without prior written approval of the Architectural Review Board. If the Architectural Review Board does not approve, modify, or disapprove an application in writing within 30 days after submission of the application and required plans/drawings/specifications, approval is deemed granted. The document does not state owner fence height limits, color restrictions, setbacks, or post-cap rules in the provided fence-related passages.
