It was never worded that way in the deed restrictions and some people take advantage, maybe even delight in causing others problems. I can’t imagine how flowers could be distasteful or blocking view of traffic. Talk about nit picking!

You have made a good point about "FLOWERS". But, don't forget that "flowers" usually have a stalk that supports the "flowers" up to some certain height. Suppose that the stalk height is 3 ft or 4 ft. Now we have a bush with flowers and that could present a visual safety hazard for oncoming vehicles;
......Now that 13 ft back from the street seems WAY excessive, maybe 5 or 6 ft would be reasonable.
.......At the exit of the Southside pool there is a large bush that forces cars to go out into the middle of the street in order to see if other cars are coming. That is a safety hazard created by plants and it is 2 ft from the road and it is on Village property, not a resident's.
.......The excessive plants on ALL the roundabouts create a traffic safety hazard.
........Just saying that it is possible for plants to create a LEGITIMATE hazard and therefore a need to be written up.
........I can't make a judgment in this particular case because there are other factors like is the street straight or does it curve. And other factors. |
