Both concerns are covered in the by laws. The statue is covered in Article 5, Section 2(approval)part A. It is page 20
The fence is covered under Article 8, Section 2 Part M(Fencing). It does state the "fences cannot exceed 5 Feet and shall not extend past the rear corners toward the front of the house". This one would be tough to enforce because a lot of people including board members have fences that extend past the rear corners. I frankly don't care, but maybe an amendment should be put it to change it, if they want to enforce it
Hope this helps
