It is a matter of fairness in administrative procedures. Separate or ex parte communications are those outside of the formal proceeding without all interested parties present, and thus can unfairly prejudice the proceeding. This is standard in most administrative proceedings.

They have opened a Pandora's box for sure! I hope, for their neighborhood's sake, that the landscaping will be sufficient to hide most of this monster.

I am somewhat surprised that the neighbors have not resorted to legal action.

What the hell does it matter to anyone? It certainly looks better than some of the 2nd floor additions that have popped up in TV. It’s their money, let them spend it.

BTW, as of Monday, 7/1, people in TV will be able to grow gardens in their front yards; I bet that will cause you worry warts who want to stick your noses in everyone else’s business to really blow a gasket.

Is it too late to plant corn?

For what it's worth, I drove by the subject house this morning, basically unremarkable in real life and it meets all CDD/ARC standards. The pictures posted on the other website taken to intentionally distort the appearance.

To me what I found humorous is the rest of the homes on Five Forks, there were at least a dozen (I just stopped counting when I started laughing) homes with deed compliance violation - lawn ornaments (you name the type, they're there), rock and flower beds overgrown with weeds, grass uncut and above the height limits, etc. The home with the garage was well kept and in compliance.

So we have residents that refuse to comply with their own deed restrictions complaining about a resident's home that the homeowner with through the required process to be in compliance.

Where are the troll with their clipboards when you need them...

Very helpful description, and GoldwingNut, and Manaboutown you are so funny.

Well said. It’s just the typical crybaby trolls with nothing else to do with their miserable “nothing else to do with their life” lives. Police yourselves before you act like the “deed compliance police” against others.

More tax money. I'm sure he has a good reason.

The more this thread goes on, the more jealous I have become of the owners of the garage in question!

Once this house has the landscaping completed it will be a SuperStar in a Fantastic Neighborhood. It didn't bring down the value of anyone's home. In fact, it probably will raise the neighboring homes a bit. I saw some other "things" going on in the same neighborhood and those things had a Permit Box Out Front. So its' time to clam up about those other projects because they have been approved. It's time to let this OWNER enjoy his home in Peace and Quiet! Get a Life. Go find someone with a White Cross! (Joking).

I greatly look forward to becoming a resident of TV within the next few years and I really appreciate TOTV as an easy and free way to meet lots of potential future neighbors ahead of time. As a person who has been a Realtor in the past and am still involved in the world of real estate in a different way I can see both sides of this issue on the so-called garage house. If I had to pick a perspective I would agree with Nucky. I don’t think this house with the huge garage will negatively effect anybody’s property value. I would say that from what I understand about the rules governing the exterior of homes in TV is that the rules are for the most part extremely strict and far more restrictive than the list of covenants (deed restrictions) for most subdivisions outside TV. Your property values in TV are certainly quite secure! Now if a flood of criminally minded kids like the one who was recently arrested for stealing a golf bag and clubs out of a parked golf cart at Mallory Hill Country Club in TV begin moving back in with their parents in TV like this one did that’s a whole different matter!!!

It's everyone's right to ask questions about construction in their neighborhoods. On thefirst day when a polite request was made to look at the garage plan an employee from Community Standards asked why? She then proceeded to state that if "you have a problem with this plan maybe the owner doesn't like your house either. Is this the way that residents should be treated? For the record she knows who she is and paid to be at EVERY ARC meeting and comments regularly.

If it weren't for the interest of the concerned neighbors and the attention on it theproject may have looked completely different. Citizen activism (even in light of notable 2nd floor Community Standard VIP antagonism) prevailed.

Tell that to the hundreds of people requesting a 3 foot width expansion to their driveway. Consistent rulings would be appreciated.

I like context and common sense in the application of rules. See no big deal with this house as almost no one but the neighbors and the yard people see it. It is in a very out of the way spot in Tall Trees.
