Bentley Estates I is confirmed as a Marion County, Indiana recorded declaration for Bentley Estates in Indianapolis/Franklin Township area; the recorded copy is stamped by the Marion County Recorder with Instrument No. 1999-0126975, recorded July 2, 1999. Fence-related rule found: prior written approval of the Architectural Review Board is required before any building, fence, wall, dwelling unit, change in common area/common expense areas, or other structure is commenced, erected, maintained, improved, altered, made, or done on any lot. The Architectural Review Board regulates external design, appearance, use, and location of improvements. If the ARB does not approve, modify, or disapprove an application in writing within 30 days after the complete application and required plans/drawings/specifications are submitted, approval is deemed granted; ARB decisions may be appealed to the Board of Directors. No specific fence height, material, color, setback, or post-cap rule was found in the reviewed Bentley Estates I recorded declaration. Chicago Title also lists a Bentley Estates II (Marion) PDF, but no different fence-specific rule was confirmed from it in the accessible search/preview. No HOA-owned CC&R/design-guideline page or property-management company client page was found; the title-company contact list identifies local contacts rather than a management-company rules page.
