Yes, there are generally community zoning laws regarding these acts already. For the ones that are not so covered, I am still able to sue the offender in civil court for damages to my propery value caused by his actions. Assuming that a simple, neighborly request to clean up is fruitless, of course.
Zoning laws, however, are rarely targeted at individuals, and are much more subject to public scrutiny before enacted. The administrators of town laws are more beholden to their actions, having to stand for re-election to earn a living. As such, they tend to be much less capricious than HOA regulations, and be based on things like sanitary considerations, safety concerns, commercial/residential mix and occupant density.
Most HOAs seem to be more interested in maintaining rigid conformity to the tastes of some committee or developer than in doing things that effect property values. Some people like living in identical boxes painted one of three approved schemes, with their hobbies and vehicles carefully stowed out of sight behind garage doors and white curtain liners. I don't. It's an extra layer of constraint that I don't need in my life.
BS.
Rigid conformity was never the issue. I lived in a neighborhood of historical houses built in the 1800's to early 1900's. The HOA was established a hundred years ago and worked to maintain the character of the hood. Any dremodeling involving changes in the outside of buildings had to be approved. You had to use slate for roof, that kind of thing. The houses now sell starting at a million bucks for that reason.
The hood I am in now is architect designed houses, no cookie cutters. The HOA exists to make sure people don't build additiions that make the house look inappropriate, don't cut down big trees without a good reason, don't subdivide property, put trailors on property, don't build docks on the lake and don't use motorboats on the lake. People know that when they move in. But there is no mindless conformity just a bunch of people who know what they want and how to preserve it.
And the HOA handles the complaints, they go to court,,who wants to spend his life paying an attorney when a perfectly good elected body will do the heavy lifting.
