[quote=localguy]I have been running the HOA and chairing the ARC for a few years out here where I live. The management company will send out the letters that to me seem heartless and devoid at times of common sense. That being said, we do have restrictions on playsets, basketball hoops. etc…. I always tell the homeowner, just respond back that you will throw a plant up to screen it, or you will “move” the structure as it is “temporary”. Get on with life. We actually have one home owner who volunteered to drive around and provide a list of everyone who is non-compliance! Thanks dude….but, no thanks. I always side with the homeowner within reason. Someone mentioned speaking with the HOA in person, great idea. The letters that the management company send out are just legal non-sense most of the time. Do a little work, find your board member, and ask that person to apply a little common sense. In conclusion, I would leave your playset right where it is.

Good post, thanks.
Yes we can definitely screen it up, in fact our other next door and rear neighbor both have no problem with it at all because they can’t see it. We are even willing pay our neighbor to plant trees in their own yard if they open up for a talk. We are very reasonable people, but it is hard to do anything when the other person is angry and unwilling to talk.
Our development have pretty big lot, although our playhouse is on the hill, it is not directly facing their house, It is at least 50-60 feet apart. it is in such an angle that we can see nothing inside their house but just their windows.
