This all sounds reasonable to me.

This thread affects us all. Not this particular situation with Happ, but just in general. Does a property owner have the right to use his property as he sees fit as long as it adheres to existing restrictions? I think he does. Does he need to get "permission" from every neighbour (in this case the neighbour was living on a different cul de sac) before he makes changes? If a neighbour builds a birdcage or adds privacy shrubs, does that make him a bad neighbour? In this case, the neighbour may have thought he was being considerate by shielding his neighbours from the view of his dogs.

On our side of the street, which backs on a golf course, some people have small birdcages, some have huge birdcages with pools and summer kitchens, and some people are content with the builder's lanai. Does that make the people with the big birdcages bad people? I've never heard any complaints about views being blocked.
