One subdivision allows fencing on the property line and the other does not?

To separate the properties, put the fence *just inside* the property line of the property on the subdivision that allows fencing: the other subdivision has no authority to stop you from putting up a fence on propert not part of it.
You will have to live with the restriction on not a fence around the other property, unless you can convince the subdivision to amend its rules or allow an exception.
