Ride thru your neighborhood U will see examples of homes out of compliance.

Generally I agree with what you've posted, but I have to take exception with the 10-13 ROW limitation. IIRC the landscaping restriction is a minimum percentage ratio of lawn to landscaping. I don't remember the percentage off the top of my head, but one can look it up in their restrictions.
Last year we had our property landscaped by Terrascapes and they built our two tree island wall roughly 3-4 feet away from the street at it's closest point. I have a copy of the ARC approval and attached stipulations for the approval that says that the improvement must be a minimum of two (2) feet from the property line. The 10-13 ROW might apply to structural improvements, but I'm taking an educational guess about that. Always best to contact Community Standards at 352-751-3912 when in doubt.
BTW, we also spoke to and got a quote from McGowan, and they said that they also go through the ARC process.
p.s. I think that my second paragraph also answers gomoho's question concerning the rear of the property.
