Fence is orange; neighbors see red

I don't know all the facts of this, but it seems like the HOA didn't allow this guy to connect an entrance to his property to a road on their property. As a result the land owner can't sell or lease his land to a Bank, or to any other business for that matter because of access, parking issues. Again I don't know all the facts and maybe he has options. But I assume the land is "zoned" for business, but the HOA won't allow what is a reasonable use of the land. The HOA certainly is within it's rights to grant or not grant driveway access to/through it's land, but they should reconsider. A bank might no be as bad as a orange fence. The HOA must accept the fact that they don't own that land and can't control it. They can't use their control of access as leverage, but they have to allow this guy to use his land from something, or they will get something worse.

The city should stay out of it. As long as neither side does anything clearly against code, the city should not put them under a microscope looking for minor violations. Let them work it out themselves.
