This puts neighbors in opposition with each other and now you have a bad neighbor situation.
If there was a ARC inspection and it was not done to the Arc approval now the community standards becomes the bad person and not a neighbor dispute.
What don't you folks understand about his logic.
This process is mismanaged and it is a common practice to get a ARC approval by drawing it properly in a Plot map of the property and then the homeowner does what they want and there is NO inspection to verify it was done Correctly. DO i need to explain MORE!!!
There are neighbor disputes all over the villages due to the ARC process,it is complaint Driven.
Please someone step in and explain it better than i can to these Folks
No need to be insulting. We understand the system and we understand what you are saying. We are simply not joining you in your call for change.

How many times has someone said, "If the neighbors are ok with it, leave it alone". So, Community Standards waits for a complaint before taking action. Makes sense to me.
