Mark I agree with you. One of my customers some years ago we built an addition for was forced to paint the new siding on the addition to match the fade of the original house siding. The new siding was the exact siding initially installed on the house but they made them paint the addition siding to match the sun fade.

Completely nuts!!!!

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
The ARC has the right to determine when and if to override DOR restrictions. They have guidelines specifically defining those conditions. They have issued multiple permits and have denied multiple applications, but they have not followed their own guidelines, and the decisions they make have been very arbitrary. That is my problem, the lack of consistency and the fact that some people feel that their opinions are so much more important than others. In a community like ours an HOA is a necessity. I have lived in areas with good HOA's, bad HOA's and no HOA's. What I've discovered is that the best HOA's concern themselves with their primary responsibility of maintaining common property, handling common responsibility (street lights, insurance, etc.) and supporting common amenities. If the scope is limited to that these HOA's run simply and smoothly, and keep costs to residents at a minimal. When HOA's start to tell people what color their house can be, what type of registered vehicle can be parked in their driveway, if they can have a shed, what bushes can be planted and what trees can't be removed they overstep their purpose, and become just another bureaucratic sess pool, like where we're heading now. And of course, along with all this bureaucracy and red tape comes many costs, reflected in our ridiculously high assessments. Somebody has to be paid to be sure your shed is the correct shade of beige !
