Hellstrip Update

I got conditional approval from my HOA last week that I could do the landscaping in my front yard but not for my tree lawn (the hellstrip).

And I'm like, fuck no. (politely)

So, I sent an email back saying I was going to appeal and I've been doing a lot of homework with the limited amount of time I've had this past weekend trying to figure out what arguments would persuade them.

BUT!

Turns out my municipality takes the same stance as the my state, so city ordinance is the same as my state's revised statutes, meaning...

Any section of a restrictive covenant or of the declaration, bylaws, or rules and regulations of a common interest community, all as defined in section 38-33.3-103, and any rule or policy of a special district, as defined in section 32-1-103 (20), that prohibits or limits xeriscape, prohibits or limits the installation or use of drought-tolerant vegetative landscapes, requires cultivated vegetation to consist wholly or partially of turf grass, or prohibits the use of nonvegetative turf grass in the backyard of a residential property is hereby declared contrary to public policy and, on that basis, is unenforceable.

My HOA cannot prohibit me from installing a native plant garden on the property I'm maintaining. I don't know what their reply's gonna be yet, but you bitches really want to fight state law? Hmmm? Fucking have at it.

Me, I'm planting flowers and shit for the pollinators goddammit. And it's gonna be purty.
