What changes to one’s walled in backyard visible only to the homeowner necessitates a formal review or approval? A bush? Pavers? Statue or fountain or trellis? Do owner’s find the process simple and easily accommodated or onerous and ignored?

To try to answer your questions: pavers definitely need approval. I learned the hard way. Fountain, probably. You'd be amazed what needs review.


OTOH, few people apply for review. Most are lucky. Not me, thanks to a problem neighbor.
