Plantation Resort 1 - Frisco-Online Forums

Good morning,

My family is looking to move into Plantation Resort I. The property has a backyard facing a golf course. Obviously a wooden fence would not be permitted since all of the homes that face a golf course have short chain linked fences. If a homeowner would like to have some privacy could one plant trees/bushes around the chain link fence to block off some of the view into the backyard? What is the association’s policy when it comes to privacy of backyards facing a golf course.

Thank you

You should probably contact their HOA with your question.

We looked at a property like that too (different subdivision) but never got a answer from thr HOA on that question. I don't mind the iron fence, but a few tall plants would be nice for a little privacy. We loved the house, just didn't love the idea of having to chat with neighbors every time we were out.

I don't know specifically about PR1 but I am familiar with PR2.

The C&C's restrict building anything, fences, cabanas,etc that restrict your neighbor's site line. They are required to insure a 45 degree view on both sides of their property. I haven't seen any restrictions on hedges or trees. In fact, these are numerous across the course lots in both neighborhoods. I suppose the assumption is that courtesy and common sense will prevail in term of pruning as opposed to building.

There are no restrictions for adding landscaping as my former (beautiful) neighbor filled in hers a lot since the golfers were gawking at her when in the pool. We both have nets to help with the balls as we are in the landing area of a fairway. 15 years here and love, love, love it!

PR1 does have restrictions on how high your shrubs/bushes can be if you are on a golf course. As someone else suggested call the HOA and get the exact answer.

I live in PR1 and there are no HOA's for this part of the community. I am sure that by now you found that out, since your post is from 2011.
If you live in PR2 then yes, there is a HOA

Yes, I realize this is an old thread, but wish to respond to the above.

Plantation actually has three sections. PR1 does have an HOA, as well as PR2. If you do not live in either section, you are actually in the Plantation Resort Lake Brook Farms section. I know of houses that are PRLBF section that are smack dab in the middle of PR2, so it is confusing. I imagine you are on the east side of Plantation Lane?

If memory serves correctly, Plantation Resort started out by a custom developer (PR1) who purchased the land and envisioned a gated community. When they had financial troubles, they sold the remaining land to Centex (PR2). Centex then sold a chunk of that land to D.R. Horton (PRLBF), which has no HOA. Believe it or not, the homes in just to the north of Centennial Med Center are also PRLBF.

Interesting, Thanks for telling me more about the history of PR. We should chat more often, it sounds like you can share a lot of curious information to me.

Feel free to pm me. Have lived in PR pretty much since 1996 so glad to share whatever I might know.
