I certainly understand what you are saying Joe. My point is as always, common sense. I had a customer two years ago, when the ARC was absolutely going overboard with no consideration ,that we closed in a screen porch with windows and siding. The siding that existed was no longer manufctured. We found siding that matched the color exactly as the original siding. The existing siding on the left side of the house had faded to one degree, and the siding on the back of the house had faded to a lesser degree. Now remember the siding we installed matched the original color of the siding EXACTLY. The ARC, Walt Boge, Bill Nelson, Deano Macurdy, and Dave Ferguson, in their infinite wisdom,decided to make the homeowner PAINT the siding two different colors to match the two variations of sun fade! This was after I had showed the ARC committee twelve other same siding situations they had approved. Now you know this did not sit well with me, but the owner did it to appease the ARC. This and other instances are what led to the demise of all but one of the above referenced gentlemen and helped bring us today's "milder and gentler" CPI, IMHO. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Dave, it is impossible to eliminate personal opinion on some issues. Color is a perfect example. I believe the vast majority of lot owners would frown on approval of bright red or bright yellow siding, for example. In the area of junk, one man's junk is another's treasure. What ECC cannot do is simply allow any lot owners opinion to prevail. ECC is like a court of law in some respects. People often end up in court becasue of differing opinions. The obligation of the court, and ECC, is use the vested authority is a reasonable way. That demands a certain application of opinion. Not everything can be relegated to a fixed, inflexible set of rules. |
