Our deed restrictions read differently. It only refers to “domestic pets” with no mention of fish or birds, and there is no limit on the number, only that they must be leashed, must be cleaned up after, and cannot create a nuisance.

A quick perusal of the restrictions per district revealed that districts 1 and 2 make no mention of pets. District 13 does, in fact, read as you posted while districts 3 through 12 all have the statement of;

"Birds, fish, dogs and cats shall be permitted, with a maximum oftwo (2) pets per Homesite.".

So it appears, like everything else in life, the restrictions evolve over time.

And what reason do you have for wanting their info?

I believe you should know who your accuser is.

this is not a court of law where you are allowed to face your accuser. this is pointing out to the powers that be there is an issue.

the only people that want to know who pointed out their inability to follow rules a child can understand are those who either want to confront them, or make nasty faces when they pass by.

Just follow the rules or move. It is simple.

I sat through a CDD meeting recently that discussed a violation regarding grass that had been replaced by gravel. Out of curiosity I visited the particular neighborhood. At least six other properties also had replaced the grass on theirs. This home was no different from those. Why was this change unacceptable while the others were not? Why was this home singled out for a complaint? I suspect I know the answer and it had nothing to do with the appearance of the neighborhood.

Complaints are sometimes filed to harass an "undesirable" neighbor. Complaints are sometimes filed by those who feel it is their civic duty to police other's neighborhoods. Tracking who is filing complaints and restricting the ability to file a complaint outside the neighborhood or village you live in might help reduce the numbers and help support the label, "America's friendliest hometown."

Agree the "just follow the rules" posts a seem a little sanctimonious.

It seems the restrictions are used in a vindictive way more often than not. A few adjustments as you suggest could help minimize the harassment.

Maybe I's a little too easy to file a complaint. I would add requiring as much documentation to file a complaint as it does to request a change.
