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.

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.

Then you could teach them a lesson or two. In person, man-to-man.

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.

How about if you buy your house thru a Villages "sales agent" that they are responsible for identifying any infraction which exist at time of sale. A certificate of compliance should be issued by the ARC as part of the closing process. Include resolution in the usual 1% inspection correction clause.
