I like rules, too. Potential problems occur as time passes and TV grows. Things that didn't need arc approval in the past may now require it. Interpretations of what is alright may have changed. Things that have been, apparently, accepted, and have caused no official complaint for years, through multiple owners are being called into question now? It causes a lot of consternation for a lot of people who should have no concerns. Those who have purchased and lived here for years without complaint have had to repaint, remove/change landscaping and more, costing time and money as, apparently, the clipboard vigilantes just get a kick out of hurting folks under the guise of doing their civic duty.
Perhaps the ARC should adopt a rule that anything not reported and has been in place without incident for 1 year is grandfathered in. The basic rules need no changes. Violations of health or safety would never be grandfathered, of course.
