I submitted a request for a simple flower bed modification to ARC. There was a very small portion (less than a 1'x1' area) of it that would have violated the prescribed setback for my lot. I don't think anyone would ever notice or care about it. ARC approved it, without that feature. I asked what would happen if I did include that area. They said they were not going to inspect it after construction. The only way they would ever know is if my neighbor complained about it. If that happened they would be obligated to inspect and enforce removal of the portion that violated the regulations.
