If you go by the rules I'm guessing solar lights are not allowed in the rear, but like Bogie said, check with Community Standards if you want to go by the rules.
The lawn ornament restrictions were put in place after a lot of the Lake and Sumter County portions were built out. You will see lawn ornaments in those neighborhoods. I believe the restrictions started before District 3 was built out.
