Joyce, I think there was a big brouhaha a few weeks back because one single person drove around and made dozens of complaints by email.


There have been folks who built something tangible without permission and it extended into the no-no zone and it had to be removed, I remember reading that on this forum when we first moved here.. If you have a yard gnome that isn't under the eaves and it is reported, you need to tuck that guy under the eaves or put him in the back or you will get a fine if he is reported.


There has been a good deal of reporting and the yards are pretty much uncluttered south of 466 and south of 466A near Morse. I see a lot more "stuff" in people's yards near Lake Deaton when we go to visit friends. If someone reports them, they will be notified and if they don't comply they will be fined.


I know this because a close neighbor in our first neighborhood here had a BUNCH of yard stuff and she was very vocal about the process.
