I think your post got hijacked so back on topic I am sorry to say that I believe that you are referring to what I heard called splash panels. Their purpose is to keep the water out when it rains. Unfortunately they are not uncommon and perfectly legal. Even though you said otherwise, it is personal taste especially when a learned group of people think different than you do. They do keep the rain from splashing into the lanai and personally I see nothing wrong with them. They are just different than what you are used to seeing.
