From the Swan Creek Board of Directors
The Board has been closely following the recent discussion about fencing in our neighborhood, and we feel it’s the right time to offer our perspective and help move the conversation forward.
To begin, we want to acknowledge that we understand why some homeowners are advocating for the option to install fences. We’re sympathetic to the concerns that have been raised, and we appreciate the thoughtfulness behind many of the comments shared.
That said, it’s important to remember that the original developers and founding members of the HOA made a conscious decision to keep Swan Creek a fence-free community. This approach is not uncommon and is a key part of the neighborhood’s character—a quality that many current homeowners value and took into consideration when purchasing their homes.
Still, we recognize that communities evolve over time, and with that evolution comes the potential for change. While the 20+ year precedent of being a fence-free neighborhood carries weight, we also believe that if enough interest exists, it's reasonable to explore whether the community is open to revisiting this policy.
Any change of this magnitude, however, should not be made lightly. It must be approached with care, transparency, and broad homeowner input. With that in mind, we believe the next appropriate step is to form a committee made up of both current board members and interested residents. This group will be responsible for designing a fair and thorough process for gathering community feedback and ultimately, conducting a vote.
We’re grateful for the respectful and constructive dialogue that has taken place so far, and we’re committed to supporting a process that gives every homeowner a voice. Together, we can ensure that any decision reflects the collective interests of the entire Swan Creek community.
Sincerely,
The Swan Creek HOA Board of Directors

Swan Creek design and evolution.
The link below is for the original approved Swan Creek Design with a balance of Apartments, Condos, duplexes and houses. Certain areas were zoned with the city as Medium or High Density. Over the years, the city requested changes in density in one lot and to compensate would lower the density in another. When additional Apartments were approved for lot 117, which was intended for, Retail and apartments to just apartments, the Density of lots 109 and 110 was reduced to Medium. That reduced the number of units that could be on those lots to a total of 54.
