Rosedale 8-foot privacy fence dispute

Longtime resident opposed the 8-foot fence, saying the HOA covenants require 6-foot fences and the HOA spent homeowners' money without the required membership vote.

Argued the Quincy fence site provides no privacy benefit since no homes back up to it, while 22 homes along the Wimple Road walking trail were denied 8-foot fences they need far more.

The fence installer explained the 4-to-5-foot slope means the fence reads as a 6-foot fence from the road despite being 8 feet tall.
