Do you need to drill into the wall?
Unfortunately, under the current design guidelines, it's not allowed, even if it's in your own backyard. If you want a wall mounted trellis, you're out of luck. We petitioned the Board to change the guidelines, so what you see on the picture becomes possible:

Timeline
Initial inquiry submitted to the management company regarding requirements for a wall-mounted trellis. Management clarified that current guidelines prohibit attachments to perimeter walls.
After speaking with several neighbors, a written proposal to amend the design guidelines was submitted to the HOA Board via the management company.
Management company advised that proposals can only be addressed during Open Forum at regularly scheduled Board meetings. A request was submitted to have the proposal placed on the next meeting agenda.
The proposal was presented during Open Forum at the Board meeting. It was not included on the meeting agenda. No discussion occurred at that time.
Following a request for an update, management informed that the Board does not currently wish to move the idea forward.
Petition initiative & website launched to gather homeowner support and demonstrate community interest in the proposed guideline changes.
Who's behind the initiative?
This initiative is led by Steve, a Skye Hills homeowner (Tribute), together with a growing group of neighbors. Our goal is to work constructively with the Board by presenting actionable, homeowner-supported ideas. That's why we've put together a proposal that addresses relevant concerns. It is ready for review. Refinements are welcome. Our aim is to show that many residents value a bit more flexibility in designing their own backyard spaces.
