Dear Oak Cove residents,

​

On September 5th, 2012 during our Brookwood Hills II HOA meeting, we discussed the wood fence on Central Drive . Everyone agrees the fence represents our neighborhood. Brookwood Hills HOA has been willing and obliged to paint and sometimes repair the wooden structure many times over the last 30 years. The HOA will no longer paint or provide repairs to fencing as of 2021. 

​

Most of the fences along Central are in adequate shape, needing only slight repair. A few need to be replaced entirely. Brookwood Hills II HOA will continue to paint as new fences and/or repairs are made to the old fence. We are asking your help to insure our neighborhood is one of the most valuable in Bedford . I

​

Bedford has a relatively new fence ordinance. It is much stricter than in the past. Please review when you evaluate your fencing for replacement or repair. I have included a copy but there is also a link.

• The fence has a large visual impact on our neighborhood and its viability.
• Homeowners with brick walls are personally responsible for their portion of the wall. Several have had repairs and complete knockdowns from cars hitting their walls
• Inside the neighborhood all residents are personally responsible for their fencing.
 

Please help us keep Brookwood Hills II a great community.

Many thanks for your help.
