I have a courtyard villa and in the deed restrictions it states there shall be a 5 foot setback from the concrete wall that is in the back yard. I would assume this would be for maintenance of the wall.
I am contemplating on putting a birdcage back there. Currently there is a concrete slab extending 8 feet from the house. From reading the restriction it looks like I can extend concrete slab all the way to the wall. I was hoping to extend the slab and birdcage to within two or 3 feet of the wall. Obviously I'm not going to do it under the table because the risk of tearing up a birdcage would be quite expensive.
What I'm wondering is has anyone tried anything like this and generally what are the chances of getting ARC approvals?
Also, generally at the county level you can talk to somebody in planning and zoning and they can give you a pretty good opinion of your chances of getting a variance. It is usually the county zoning person who stands before the committee and gives the recommendation one way or the other. I don't know if this is how they do it down here or not.

An ARC request is not a variance request. It is a request to ensure that anything going in meets the deed restrictions. You will not get an approval for anything closer than 5'. As stated earlier, that is a county restriction, not ARC, and anything closer than 5' will be rejected by ARC. If the builder accidently gets closer than 5', the inspector will make them correct it.
