IG,
We always wondered about the 1.5 rule as we kept seeing it violated. When we checked into the rule in our island covenants, we found out that the original intent was to limit the building heights as the original plan was to develop the back lots. The 1.5 limit was to protect the views of those inside lots. What we were told is that since that scheme has been long abandoned, the 1.5 story rule has not been enforced on new construction.
