Not sure what response #33 & #38 implies. The historic side has ARC and deed restrictions. ??

UPDATE: Thank everyone. Going back into lurking mode now. Didn't ask for judgment on what I want to do just if ARC approval trumps DEED restrictions. Thanks for all the info both good and otherwise. Going to have to decide if I want to test out my "question". Approval is good for 90 days.

Better to ask for forgiveness than beg for permission

What does that have to do with anything?

OP I have to ask, one can’t see the Shed from the road? But what do your neighbors get to see?

It's not a moot point. External structures are not allowed here either, unless they're attached to the house. Mobile homes/manufactured homes can have laundry sheds (and almost all of them do, here). If yours has to be replaced due to damage or age, you can replace it. But you can't put one in your back yard.

OP is attaching to existing patio, which I would hope isn’t in the middle of yard but abutting to structure. Our Great Aunt moved to the Historic side during its early days, and the shed (laundry) was attached to the patio abutting to the home. My post of moot point sheds are allowed in Historic side. Which in the early days seemed to be at the end of the car port in the HS.

To some, myself included, that fits the description of a "shed" in the back yard.

I'm not sure the shed the OP is describing is of "like construction" to the home, but I do agree with you, that it would fit the description of certain sheds.

Could be an expensive thing, high daily fines and then cost of removal. In my area, district 6, one lady had to remove her king palms which were there when she bought the house 9 years ago at the cost of $7000.00 to her. She complied and was so upset she sold her beautiful home.

Better to ask for forgiveness than beg for permission. If it's hardly noticeable in the neighbors aren't jerks I wouldn't worry about it unless you spend a lot of money on it.

Depends on how rich you feel.

The "ask for forgiveness" approach is going to waste the money spent on installation and cost money for the removal and correction. For something like a roof or a wall or painting, that could be a significant cost.
