Many homeowners and condo associations have learned this lesson the hard way by losing lawsuits.

I don't think that concept applies here, the determination of compliance is left to the residents. Your neighbors impact your home's value and if you believe they are doing something that has a negative impact and is out of compliance you should report it. If out of compliance they will be treated equally as all other out of compliant properties. Before we moved here we investigated all the covenants and the processes. We knew about ARC, we knew about the set backs and the risks for infringement and we knew about the complaint system. If your neighbors are happy with what you do then there will be no issues regardless on what you do....until they try to sell.
