If you do not believe me feel free to check out the guidelines at the ARC offices. I am in District 9

I was told the same as above. A previous neighbor and I were going to do a COMMON privacy hedge between the houses, and to avoid a 4 ft grass area between the hedges, we contacted ARC about planting in the "drainage area", and we were told absolutely NO planting, especially NO ground cover in drainage areas.
