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.

CYVs have concrete walls separation in back and drain in backyards with easements off the wall. Very few properties after years are in Total compliance Due to several owners have induced something. IMO before any house is sold in deed restricted community a compliance inspect should be done so the new owners not stuck with out of compliance discrepancies previous owners have done.
