I checked the covenants for my section that I agreed to when I purchased and found:
"2.7 In an effort to protect limited natural resources, all Homesites shall remain finished with the same quantity and style of water-conservative, drought-tolerant sod and landscape as originally provided by the Developer. Notwithstanding, Owners are encouraged to and may add landscape that is more water-conservative and drought-tolerant than originally provided, however, any such alterations to areas visible from roadways or golf courses must receive prior written approval from Developer. "Each Home and Homesite must contain a concrete driveway, and a lamppost must be erected in the front yard of each Homesite.
It replaced:
"2.7 Each Home and Homesite must contain a concrete driveway, the lawn must be sodded and a lamppost erected in the front yard of each Homesite. To qualify as sodded, at least 51% of the yard area visible from all adjacent roadways and golf courses must be sodded"
Interesting ... now some Owners may have gotten approval from the Developer and some Owners may have ignored their promise to abide by the covenants and not gotten caught and some Owners may have made changes that conformed to the covenants ... FWIW
