Interpretation of Deed Restrictions

George Montgomery sent me a missive regarding the interpretation issues revolving around the deed restrictions current in our neighborhood. I have some reservations with the wording in the "Guidelines" regarding materials that are preferred when a homeowner replaces their roofing material due to age. The language was written poorly and is subject to interpretation depending upon who is interpreting it. See George's blog at http://jive_blog.home.att.net for more information and background.

My take: If the language is obscure or not precise then any interpretation by DRCC is subject to bias. The only way to rectify this is to either have a judge decide or amend and have it approved by the majority of homeowners.
