ARCHITECHTURE STANDARDS

Posted on by

02-16-2023 TO ALL MEMBERS of the Lake of the Woods Community Club

Change to Architectural guidelines – after we did a community Survey, the front of the yard fences can now be 6 feet high, any style. However, you still need to get approval from the Architectural Committee if you are putting in a new fence.

Thank you
