This scenario is clearly abuse of the system and a sad one!

I concur. Sounds like a neighborhood intervention might be useful.

If this poor lady kept getting different rulings believing she's doing every thing in compliance and having the rug pulled under her it seems some people in the compliance department shouldn't be serving in this capacity.

Just as with some golf ambassadors and community watch employees, some people have waited all of their lives to have some type of authority...and they use these positions to live out their fantasies of control.

Not all by any means are like this, but it's usually quickly discernible...which ones fit that description.

A neighbor of mine has lived here for years peacefully in her patio villa, that is until a new neighbor moved in. He has reported her to the compliance department now 9 times.

He did not want any shrubs or plants touching his house. So she cut back the plants. Then another complaint for the same issue even though no plants were touching his house.

So she asked how far back did her plants need to be? The response 1 foot. She cut the plants back once again. And yet there came another visit from the deed restriction guy. He saw that the plants were 2 feet away from the house. We went down to meet with the compliance people, now she was told her plant had to be cut back to 3 feet. She did that and put up a string line to indicate where the 3 foot line was. Any yet the deed guy came back yet again. The only thing left to do was to move her garden to the other side. But the deed guy came back again because her neighbor now wanted her to fill in vacant area with rock. She was in compliance.....

And yet the agent returned again this time with a complaint that a arbor on her side might fall and hit his house. Clearly he could see that was a stretch but now she has to have the arbor approved.

I thinking of taking bets on how long it will be before he strikes again!

Personally I believe the deed compliance office, in this case is a vehicle for a bully to harass a neighbor.

My suspicion is that there is a lot more to this second or third hand story.

I agree. Deed restrictions are complaint driven only if the complaint is a valid breech of restrictions.

Sounds wrong. Something is inaccurate.

They are all fine with me if that is what they believe in. wrong thread

Without pictures and the exact wording of the complaint, it is hard to know exactly what is going on here. I suggest nobody jump to conclusions.

Same here. The compliance department should have stopped after she met the 1 foot distance she was told originally was the required distance.
