Our village has homeowner restrictions!
Many neighbors have very nice landscaping in front of their homes, but the beauty is blemished by sheds in the front yard.
These are waterfront homes. The village leaders have decided that sheds cannot be placed on the lake-facing side of the house because it detracts from the waterfront beauty.
The only people who can see the backyard sheds are boaters. Out nearest backyard neighbors are 100 miles away! We are on Lake Huron.
Waterfront or not, you EXPECT a garden shed to be in back of the house, not out in front. A half million dollar home with a garden shed on the front lawn just doesn’t look right, no matter how fancy the shed.
Fortunately, all of us with pre-existing sheds are “grandfathered” in.
