It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure that all permissions are received and that the work done agrees to what was approved and that it is on your property.
ARC cannot be expected to be responsible for policing the thousands of landscaping and other changes that are made each year - that would require a huge department and then we'd all be complaining about the cost of that.
The current system may not be perfect, but if the property owners take responsibility then there are likely to be far fewer problems and complaints in the future.

Have owned a home in a large PUD with an HOA up North. The HOA hired a pro management company & they do periodic audits from the from curb without getting out. That reduced the variability of enforcement & compliance but it created the number of infractions—many of which were only vaguely covered by Deed restrictions language, if at all. Their answer? Create more Deed restrictions, of course.
