For 17 years, the complaints have been ongoing. If the complaint is filed within the neighborhood I am good with it. Truthfully if I am in the wrong because I either interpret or missed a restriction then, it should be brought up. Three of our homes were submitted, all were within compliance.

I have watched some try to be nice to someone in the neighborhood, and let them know that new landscaping needs ARC, and just file after the fact.

Sometimes it goes well, but mostly it doesn’t. We had the nicest widow 4 houses down, who removed all her landscaping because it was too much trouble. Next door neighbors offered to replace and help her maintain, she started calling late at night, sending ugly mail, and basically became a not so nice person to those who were only try to help. When weekly driveway parties, happened we had authorities show up. It wasn’t easy to live there and like us moved. At least if it was anonymous it might have been easier.
