A homeowner from 707 Spring Island Way who received a citation from the ARC asked why the shed in his yard is not allowed to be in his yard. The board explained that the ARC rule against sheds is in the WLCA (Master) Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, and is therefore a deed restriction for all homeowners in Waterford Lakes. The board also noted that both the Cypress Isles ARC and the WLCA ARC rejected his application for the shed.
