Actually, my comment about the sod laying crews having approval was kind of "tongue in cheek", a joke you may not have guessed. As to it being a big assumption, I have to wonder who it was that thought that it would be a good idea to put carpet over a large storm drain and sod over it. I can't imagine a construction supervisor okaying this. I can't really think the sod layers would sod over a drain without being told to do it. So???
My intention on this thread was about finding out if anyone ever had achieved getting a variance, as we were able to do in our previous community. Apparently, one poster here says it can be done, but that it is very time consuming and labor (leg work) intensive.
Actually, one of my pet peeves is people don't ask permission, but when they get caught they fake ignorance and expect forgiveness. Whether the person in this case truly was ignorant and thought the people selling at the town square knew it was allowed, or if she knew it was not but decided to do it anyway, I don't know. I choose to, in this case, give her the benefit of the doubt. Still, if there is a remedy short of having to tear out the turf, I would like to know. I would never advocate knowingly breaking the rules.
