Isnt deciding wether or not the greys or the reds or the yellows are absurd completely a matter of taste? Repition of color is, by definition, monotonous. Is monotony bad? Again a matter of taste? Most things are a matter of taste. However, given the area of Ocean Pines (keep the pornography analogy in mind) I think we can say generally speaking that people don't want bright red or bright yellow. However, I do not think there would be a revolution because a house across the street were a similar shade of gray. Nor do I think the odds are great that some entire street will find owners selecting a shade of gray. Worry about things that MATTER. Could it be that the ECC believes that coverage and height restrictions serve that purpose? Worry about things that MATTER. Do you believe it is part of the responsibility of the ECC to serve this purpose? Yes, but also consider that ECC isn't dealing with a fixed set of rules. New boards, new ECC members are free to exercise the virtually unlimited authority of ECC in regard to plans approval by changing the targets. For example, at one time only wood tones were allowed for siding and no white. Worry about things that MATTER.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Joe Sure, restrict the bright reds and yellows or whatever, but telling someone they can have a nice gray siding because the house across the street has gray siding is absurd. Isnt deciding wether or not the greys or the reds or the yellows are absurd completely a matter of taste? Repition of color is, by definition, monotonous. Is monotony bad? Again a matter of taste? Anything else is purely arbitrary What about the purpose of the DR's ? "subject to the following Restrictions, all of which are declared and agreed to be in furtherance of a plan for the Subdivision, improvement and sale of said lots and are established and agreed upon for the purpose of enhancing and protecting the value, desirability and attractiveness of the property described in the plat and of the Subdivision as a whole." Could it be that the ECC believes that coverage and height restrictions serve that purpose? Do you believe it is part of the responsibility of the ECC to serve this purpose?
