There was a recent article in the paper and mentioned that certain home ornaments were permissible if they were 'under the eaves'. What does that mean / imply?

I believe it means tucked close to your house so it's not so visible. I thought the home that was featured in yesterday's paper had the most beautiful garden, but wondered how on earth they were allowed a red bridge in their front yard. Looks beautiful, but definitely not under the eaves. Not complaining, tattling, moaning or groaning - just making an observation.

You may have gnomes and whatever you like as long as they don't extend any further away from your home than the imaginary line drawn vertically from the edge of your gutters or eaves to the ground.

Most likely because they have neighbors/passers-by that enjoy the look and don't complain about it to 'the authorities'?

North of 466, we don't have problems like that. I like the flock of pink flamingos with their gnome jockies playing polo in my front yard.

Not all of the areas north of 466 have that privilege. Marion county was the first to start with the lawn ornament restrictions. Any village built after that has the same lawn ornament restriction clause in the deed restrictions.

Parts of District 3 (which is north of CR466) have restrictions on lawn ornaments.

I asked myself the same question gomoho. I am also wondering when does a lawn ornament become art? Maybe that area is under different rules.

I saw those, but I do believe they're a bit understated.:icon_bored:

As for the red bridge in the front yard, I would suspect the homeowners submitted their plans to the Architectural Review Board as required, had them approved, and installed the feature.

I suppose the "Chinese pagoda placed in the front yard" was part of the approval.
