Everyone breaks the rules... even with a 6 inch garden flag. Sometimes bylaws can be changed after an appeal for the flag or (frog, or flowerpot, etc.) that was probably reported (by a disgruntled neighbor not invited to a party or you had words with! Vindictive? Of course.
The the rules are in place to set limits. Whatever is determined in an appeal is on an issue by issue basis, and between the committee members and homeowners. If there’s a decision to change that rule, all homeowners should receive a copy of the addendum. Then if someone pushes the limit by putting up a 6 foot flag(statue, flowerpot, etc), they would be fined.
The ARTIFICIAL turf looks a hell of a lot better than some lawns, and definitely would help solve a lot of other problems mentioned here. It looks like it needs a LEGO house now. Not everyone can afford to put the turf down, so use your imagination- and think about what the road would look like with houses with a mixture of some with artificial turf and others with ugly grass!

We owned a rental CYV in the Village of Rio Grande. No one had grass, most had no shrubs, many had weeds knee high, most were just rock and it was ugly and stark. I went to our unit once a month to pull weeds but all the heat reflected by the walls, house and rock got to be more than I could tolerate. The artificial turf would have been a HUGE improvement over the rock if it was installed professionally. That is what is so attractive about Ms Schwartz's turf; it appears to have been put in profesionally. It's not lumpy and the edges are sharp. At first glance it looks real. I think it should stay unless they can give her a good reason that it should go (other than the fact that she is not in compliance).
