To me, this is a no brainer. She should be required to remove the artificial turf for the following reasons:

1. She didn't apply to ARC for approval.
2. The artificial turf does not comply with the standards, and has been rejected before when others have submitted it.
3. We all pay for the cost of the system to prepare, review, and enforce the standards, so making arbitrary exceptions would devalue the process.
4. Having her remove the turf will serve as an incentive to ensure that other homeowners will follow the process in the future.
