HOA and City Rules

Well we learned a big, and pricey, lesson this past week.

When purchasing our “new” home we knew that we would have to install a new fence as there was none. Not only do we have a small dog, we also wanted to secure our privacy as the house is on a corner lot.

After pricing several options, researching professionals and checking with our new HOA printed guidelines, we built our fence . . . just a little too fast. You see, we followed the HOA printed guidelines, but needed to combine the HOA guidelines with the city rules. The house sits on a pie-shaped lot, meaning the fence at one end can only sit so close to the city curb, but on the other end of the lot sits at a different distance. We are now having to move the fence in several feet onto our lot, plus we are having to cut off a foot. Lesson learned . . the hard way!

We’ve called back our wonderful fence installers and they will be back this week to make the change to this one side of the fence. I can’t recommend Vega’s Fence Co enough. Alberto has been our contact and he and his brother own this company that has been part of the San Diego community for years.
