So a community standards person, mentioned to more than one household in the 65 complaints at our old neighborhood, one of the original clipboard ladies was turned in for the multitude of white crosses in their front, side yard.

She fought the complaints, and lost, and fines were incurred, Weeks later she started filling out complaints in her own neighborhood, because she didn’t know who turned her in. Then with a partner it escalated to traveling to other villages. Because if she couldn’t have whatever in her yard, than nobody else would either.

Our complaints were from the original red golf cart clip board ladies. For all anyone knows she may have expanded into a organization group with monthly meetings:1rotfl:

True origin of the clipboard ladies?-----maybe
Urban legend?-------------------------------------maybe

Kind of like the "People who live in Harmeswood don't have to rake traps" story that's been circulating for over 10 years.

10' became 13' due to inflation.

No problem. Just tell them what you want along with your expectations for correction of defects if they miss. That way, they can calculate the bill for the added responsibility or politely suggest that you go elsewhere.

Wow

10 ' vs 13'.....
 

As I sat here reading all the comments I noticed that not one person mentioned that. I believe, as you, that the easement is 10'.

I would fart in their general direction!

Actually, give them the "stinkeye". But it would allow me to know which neighbor is a tattle tale and guard my privacy accordingly.

Or drag a gator to their front door.

Um, post #105. So at least one person mentioned it

I thought I read somewhere that they were doing away with anonymous complaints.

I said that the 13 ft seemed excessive.

The Villages is one big community trying to establish standards which enhance the community. These standards have evolved as the community grows. There is plainly a reason that they ban fences, mailboxes along the street, sheds etc. Other restrictions may be less obvious but likely have valid reasons. We, the property owners need to adhere to these standards and put our big people pants on if in non-compliance. It shouldn't be an issue with the reporter of the compliance or where they are located. The problem is the person in non-compliance.
I have no idea why flowers too close to the road are non-compliant. It may be something as simple as trying control front yard lawn appearance.

Wow
 

You're certainly bright spot in someone's life. Glad it's not mine

District 5 has for sometime……complaints went down.
District 2 just approved….effective May 1.

If a person has the nerve to ride all over interfering in other people's lives then they should have the courage and the nerve to sign their name to it. In my opinion they are a coward.

Good! Then we'll find out where the fiends are hiding. The Burgermiester says lock the women and children in doors, get torches and gather the hounds. We'll track the fiends to their lair and we'll....
Um. Sorry, I got carried away.
