ladydoc - It used to be necessary to get approval for installing a satellite dish. Not so anymore.
I sent an e-mail to the ARC last fall as we were going to be installing a satellite dish. Here was their response:
"
Thank you for your inquiry.
The ARC Committee no longer needs to approve satellite dish installation. However, we do have suggested guidelines as to placement. What you are proposing (ground-mount the antenna on a short pole that would place the antenna several feet above ground-level rather than doing a roof mount installation at the rear of a Patio Villa) is within our suggestions. Please see the attached sheet.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact this office.
Have a nice weekend.

Here are their guidelines for installation/placement (the "attached sheet" referred to above):
