I have been told that many more things get denied since the local districts took over the review.

The ARC is one of the most screwed up governing agencys. I had a lot of experience dealing with these folks.. Basically (in most parts of the Villages) you can do almost anything that is not SPECIFICALLY in the covenents. My problem with them was their use of the words athestically conforming. I was finally told this word is uninforcable and athestically pleasing is "in the eye of the beholder"..Meaning: what you think is ugly, I might think is beautiful. You do have an option and i suggest you use it. You can appeal the decision before your CDD board. This board is made up of elected members from your neighborhood. Good Luck !!
