Again, maybe reading too much into this, but it seems that the association did attempt to deal with the issue at Halloween, in a more light handed fashion. The resident didn't get it then so now the fines.
If the homeowner had simply decorated the house I doubt if we'd be reading about this.

I think your post probably explains the reason for the decision not to allow lawn decorating. It sounds very unChristmas on the outside, but like you, I can see why it went in that direction.
