We've engaged in two legal actions in the history of the subdivision.  One was for a driveway that was not completed for several years after the house was completed. This sad story ended in a bankruptcy and eventual completion of the driveway before the sale of the home. 

The other legal action was the result of a resident building a quite loud piece of recreational equipment (a skateboard halfpipe) within a few feet of the neighbor's bedroom window.  This case resulted in a judgement against the builder of the halfpipe, and a citation for contempt of court after a refusal to remove the ramp after the judgement. The ramp was eventually removed.

These are the only covenants violation that have gone beyond three letters.  We really want to avoid legal action, and only resort to that in extreme cases (two in twenty years).  We do not fine anyone (not provided for in the covenants), and we want to enjoy our neighborhood as much as you do. Lets be neighbors!
