Signage Policy
To codify and adopt standards, ensure consistency and provide legal standing for corrective action regarding promotional signage throughout the neighborhood, as well as maintain and promote neighborhood aesthetics.
What the ENPOA Declarations of
Restrictions say
The Declarations of Restrictions
(Dec. 22, 1977), Section 5(B) - General Prohibitions states: "No signs or
advertisements shall be displayed or placed on any lot or structure in the
Development without the prior written approval of the Committee." The signage
policy is part of the Declaration of Restrictions.
What you need to do
All signs – even if previously approved – must be approved per the
new policy. Email your request and a photo of the sign to RulesRestrictions@att.net.
What if my sign was approved before February 23, 2021?
Now that our updated policy has been recorded,
we are wiping the slate clean and starting from scratch with all properties.
While most signs currently on display meet the new standard(s), a request for
approval still must be submitted for Association records.
Questions?
Questions should be directed to
the Rules and Restrictions Committee by emailing RulesRestrictions@att.net. Thank
you for your attention and cooperation regarding this matter.
Approval

Restrictions Committee (also known as the Committee). Contact the Committee at RulesRestrictions@att.net

signs must comply with the Indiana Code 32-21-4 through IC 32-21-13-6, as well
as adhere to the Development's aesthetics as determined by the
Committee. Signs must be printed or painted and non-illuminated.
The following types of signs are acceptable and do not need Committee approval:

Number
of Signs
The
Committee reserves the right to determine the number of the signs per lot, but
in general no more than five (5) are permitted.
Placement
Placement
of signs shall not restrict the view of a vehicle or pedestrian on any street,
sidewalk or intersection of streets within the Development. General guidance:
- Lots: Signs may be placed in front of the residence set back a minimum of four feet from the curb. (For lots with sidewalks, that generally means signs should be placed in the yard, not the grassy parkway). Student athlete signs may be affixed over garages, not front doors or in yards.
- Common Grounds: Signs are not permitted in the landscaped entrance medians. Signs can be placed on either side of the Development's entrances at 75th Street, Hague Road and East 82nd Street and set back a minimum of four feet from the street. Only Association signs are permitted at the Clubhouse or on the common ground medians.
- Light poles or Street Signs: Signs shall not be attached to light poles, utility poles, stop signs or other traffic street signs within the Development.

- Garage sale signs may be displayed 24 hours before and on the day of the sale.
- Not-for-profit associations or local school event signs shall not be displayed more than 30 days from the published date and must be removed after the event.
