Before I called anyone, I'd check on your Mother-in-law's survey she received when she bought the house. That will tell you the setbacks. Each property (maybe) or area is different, I believe, but the neighbors should be the same. I would not involve Community Standards or ARC, without checking first myself, or gently asking the neighbor. Nothing will alienate the neighbors and anyone they tell faster than having someone stop and check up on them because a neighbor called. Even if it is anonymous...after all, there can only be so many people it would impact, and that neighbor will forever suspect everyone. My opinion, for what it's worth. Always best to be honest with a neighbor right off the bat.
