Brendonwood's HOA site identifies the community as Indianapolis, Indiana. The HOA Guidelines state that advance approval is required before construction, alteration, addition, or location of fences, walls, and other structures. Fences, walls, and other barriers along any road or path boundary of any lot are prohibited, except approved plantings of trees, shrubbery, and vines that are maintained satisfactorily. Elsewhere on lots, property fencing and walls above grade may not exceed 4 feet unless otherwise approved by Brendonwood Common. Patio screens may not exceed 6 feet unless otherwise approved. Retaining walls that divert groundwater onto adjoining properties or materially/substantially change existing drainage patterns will not be approved. Fence and wall materials are subject to Brendonwood Common approval. Fencing or screening should preferably have finished material on both sides; if only one side is finished, the finished side must face the adjoining property. Plans must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the application process described in the Guidelines, with site plans showing fences and distances to boundaries as applicable. The recorded 1917 covenants also require plans for buildings, fences, walls, and other structures, including alterations and locations, to be submitted to Brendonwood Common for approval before work begins.
