Fence height variance stemming from ongoing neighbor dispute
Bossier City
Summary
The Rosedale HOA built an 8-foot fence without a permit to screen homes from the adjacent Cane's Landing subdivision, but two longtime residents say HOA covenants cap fences at 6 feet and that homes along the Wimple Road walking trail need privacy more. The commission approved the fence on elevation grounds while declaring the covenant fight outside its authority.
