Yes effectively in this case where you can't see a shed deed restrictions do not matter
This attitude towards deed restrictions is what gets many people in trouble. Deed restrictions are not just about paint colors, types of grass or yard ornaments. Quite often the restrictions are put in place to control access to easements or drainage issues. Many properties have limited space between homes with shared drainage swales. Even minor changes which change to flow of water can affect you and your neighbor.

Many people seem to have the attitude that "it's my property and I can do whatever I want with it". These are also the first ones to complain when they are notified of a violation and even then all they can complain about is the unfairness of the anonymous complaint system. The deed restrictions are designed to protect property values for everyone. Everyone has taste....some good, some bad. Learn to live with the rules you agreed to when you signed your deed. The attitude that if you cannot see something it is certainly OK to do it is absurd! Hopefully most Villagers will realize this and read the deed restrictions before making such off the wall assertions please.
