We're in Marion county and some years ago we had a statue of St.Francis in the garden in front of our porch thing is his hand was out with a tray on it to be able to hold a plant and we still had to move the "monk" as the neighborhood watch person called him to under the eaves.... yes there are deed restrictions and yes we read them but figured he was a planter. Sometimes I truly feeling like big brother is watching and some people have nothing better to do.... but that's just me, still love it here but don't always "like" everything. LOL

That would be wrong. San Pedro Courtyard Villas has one and it cost $50/yr that covers the painting of wall that surrounds San Pedro. |

I did see what seemed to be a group checking out flag displays on my Loop. Not sure whom they thought they could complain to however. This was near Memorial Day. They seemed upset by one of the small flags that had fallen and gotten a bit wet. |

The only reason this is a "story" is because it's The Villages and the controversy is over a statue of the Virgin Mary in the front yard of an Ex-Priest living in The Villages. The deed restrictions do not allow such religious statues in the front yard in the Village of Duval.
If this was on the Historical Side of The Villages or in the part of The Villages within Lady Lake, it would be an allowable lawn ornament. |

One other thought that maybe people may not want to address: is the reporter of the statue a homophobe? That was my first thought. I see lots of violations in my neighborhood regarding yard maintenance, house painting, etc. and I seem to be the only one to have a problem with a red and green enamel painted house with a disgusting lanai and yard....Yes, I agree with others about the restrictions of the CDD and support those restrictions but I truly think this complaint goes well beyond this. Just my humble opinion.

He should take down the statue and go buy the nastiest looking car (that runs) and park it in his drive or in front of his house! Let the neighbors look at that for a year. Some people actually look for things to complain about~

By no means are my comments directed at any religious group. I, myself, am a non practicing Catholic who disagrees with some of the beliefs of the Catholic church, but believe that people should be able to live the lifestyle they chose whether I agree with it or not. Unfortunately, I think the person who reported this was more offended with the "couple" than the statue. Again, just my humble opinion.
