Funny, never heard of that. I suspect it would be impossible to enforce. Although not germane to me, I do know of "local home association" rules that totally curdle my blood, but apparently can NOT be gotten around. A guy that worked for me lived in such a community and get this... the "rules" were that NOBODY could own a boat that was kept on their property. Not just because they didn't want boats sitting on stands or a trailer in the driveway (private property) but he could NOT keep it in his garage. On a west coast trip a few years ago, there was a big to do because one of these outfits out there had forced a homeowner to sell their property because they refused to adhere to the rule that said your grass could only be of a certain height above ground level ( I think it was 1 1/2 inches). Imagine trying to attach a dish onto your house in such communities?
