TREYBOURNE SOUTH APARTMENT BUILDING
In mid February 2014, several
Foxmoor homeowners received a
notice of a public hearing from the
Greenwood Plan Commission for the
development/construction
of
an
apartment building on the vacant lot
west of Foxmoor’s subdivision. Upon
learning about the hearing, members
of Foxmoor’s board met on February
24th with Ed Ferguson, Senior
Planner,
Greenwood
Plan
Commission. Ferguson informed the
Board that the hearing on March 10th
was strictly administerial in nature
and that the only reason for the
hearing is that it is required by state
law. He explained that, because the
owner is simply asking to eliminate a
lot line between two parcels he owns
(and slightly move an easement
location solely within those parcels),
the City will automatically grant this
request.
Following the meeting with Ferguson,
Scott Tanner, Foxmoor’s attorney was
notified to determine what legal
alternatives might be available to the
Association. On February 26, 2014,
Tanner met with Bill Peeples, City of
Greenwood
Planning
Director.
Peeples confirmed the proposal to
build a two story, twenty-four unit
apartment building on the new lot.
Unfortunately, the lot is zoned C-2
(commercial) and an apartment
building falls within the acceptable
uses in a C-2 zone. Therefore, the
owner would not be required to seek
any type of re-zoning in order to build
an apartment building on the lot.
What does this mean? It means that if
the owner submits a plan for an
apartment building that meets all of
the zoning requirements of a C-2
development, the City of Greenwood
(especially a zero-lot line subdivision)
without at least giving those residents a
chance to object. Since the architect had
not yet submitted detailed plans for the
building, the Plan Commission was
unable to answer any of the homeowner’s
questions. As predicted, the proposal to
combine the lots allowing the apartment
project to proceed unimpeded was
unanimously approved by the Plan

RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR FOXMOOR
The Declaration (Article VI, Section 6.2(iii)) provides that additional rules and regulations may be made, amended and
modified that help guide owners as to the requirements of the Association for the submission and approval of items and to
set forth additional requirements to those set forth in the Declaration or any Plats as may be deemed necessary and
advisable, so long as those rules and regulations do not conflict with the provisions in the Declaration or Plats; therefore,
the Board of Directors now adopts the following rules and regulations regarding each owner’s use, enjoyment and
architectural improvement or maintenance of their lots in Foxmoor that the Board believes are reasonable and necessary.
These rule(s) will apply to each lot and lot owner in the Foxmoor subdivision. Please retain this document for future
reference.
1. Architectural Approval and Procedures
The Architectural Control Committee (“ACC”) is responsible for approving any and all alterations, changes or
modifications to a homeowner’s property. The requirement for prior approval includes, but is not limited to: porch and
patio enclosures, awnings, paint color for the outside of the home, landscaping changes and siding issues.
Homeowners are required to complete an approval form BEFORE WORK IS PERFORMED. Approval forms are
available from a member of the ACC, or forms may be downloaded from www.foxmoorhoa.com, under the ACC tab.
Any violation of the HOA covenants and/or bylaws by the homeowner will require that the violation in question be
rectified as determined by the ACC and/or Board of Directors of the Foxmoor HOA. If it is not corrected, then the
Association has the right to take legal action to have the violation corrected.
2. Animals and Pets
No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind may be raised, bred or kept on any Lot, except that dogs, cats or other
customary household pets may be kept; provided they are not kept, bred or maintained for any commercial purpose and
do not create a nuisance or annoyance to other owners or residents in Foxmoor due to foul odor or unreasonable noise,
including persistent, excessive or loud barking.
If a pet is let outdoors, it should be kept on the owner’s property or should be on a leash and attended by the owner. Dogs
may be left unattended only if they are confined within a fenced yard. Dog houses are not allowed in Foxmoor.
An owner is responsible for cleaning up after his pet, including cleaning his own property, the Common Areas, and other
owners’ lots soiled by his pet’s excrement. An owner is also fully liable for any injury or damage to persons or property
caused by the owner’s pet. In addition, an owner must also comply with all local and state animal control rules and
ordinances regarding animals and pets.
3. Property Maintenance
Landscaping must be properly maintained to provide a neat and clean appearance. Prompt removal of weeds, dead plants,
leaves, dead or fallen trees or limbs, trash & debris is required to meet this objective. If an owner does not satisfactorily
maintain his lot or the improvements and the vegetation on his lot, the Declaration, Article IX, Section 9.1, gives the
Association permission to enter onto any lot and repair, maintain or restore any lot that is not being properly maintained.
If this happens, the owner is responsible for reimbursing the Association for these maintenance expenses.
4. Exterior Home and Improvement Maintenance
It is the responsibility of each owner to prevent any unclean, unhealthy, unsightly, or unkempt condition on his lot. Each
owner must perform proper maintenance on his lot and improvements to insure his home maintains a reasonable
appearance and to avoid his lot or improvements from becoming unsightly when compared to the general appearance of
other homes and improvements in the neighborhood.
The term “proper maintenance” includes, but is not limited to, things such as painting, mold or mildew removal or
cleaning, wood repair, masonry repair, garage door repair, siding repair, roofing repair, window and porch screens and
window repair, and fence painting or repair.
If an owner does not satisfactorily maintain his lot or the improvements and the vegetation on his lot, the Declaration,
Article IX, Section 9.1, gives the Association permission to enter onto any lot and repair, maintain or restore any lot that
is not being properly maintained. If this happens, the owner is responsible for reimbursing the Association for these
maintenance expenses.
5. Trash Cans
Trash cans and trash bags cannot be visible from any street within Foxmoor except when set out for trash
collection days. At all other times, all trash cans, trash bags, and containers used to store or dispose of trash,
rubbish, garbage or other waste must be stored in an enclosed garage.
Just to be clear, no owners or residents may store or place any trash bins, cans, bags, or other waste containers
in the driveway, the walkways, the front porch, beside the garage, or any other area of the lot outside of the
garage.
6. Mailboxes and Posts
Mailboxes are to be attractive with readable lettering. Faded or rusting mailboxes and worn or damaged posts
should be replaced in accordance with specifications for Foxmoor.
Information for mailboxes and posts may be found at www.foxmoorhoa.com, under the Improvement topics
tab. Copies of mailbox and mailbox post specifications are available from any board member or by contacting
Otto’s Streetscape Solutions at (317) 886-4400.
REMEMBER: According to the Declaration, all mailboxes and posts must be approved by the ACC as to size,
location, height or appearance before they are installed. So long as an owner follows the mailbox and post
specifications located on the Association’s website or from Otto’s Streetscape Solutions for the Foxmoor
subdivision, then no other approval from the ACC is required.
7. Exterior Lighting
All exterior lights, including post lights, the lights on each side of the garage, and the porch lights, are to be in
working order and lit each evening from dusk until dawn.
