Just a short story. i have a friend who wanted to improve their landscaping.. stone wall etc. They got the ARC approval, then told the landscape company to build the wall several feet closer to the road, not at the approved spot. And there it sits. It is not obvious if you don't know the exact distance allowed and approved.

So, approval means nothing without a follow up to see that the work matches the approved changes. ARC minutes are online so you could look up exactly what was approved.
