you are correct, also the land starts to slope down towards the other two. Everyone has their opinions and that is part of what makes this country great (for now anyways). IMO though, comparing the structures side by side and close up and not from the water where you only see one side and the lake windows, gives you a different perspective of the property.

Right now while it is not the only one that went up in the association, it is the first modern one in the area, and with the age group turning over do not think it wont evolve to more.
Rather look at that than that white building the Margate owns with teal stripes on it (the old Monaco, or the tents that are always going up and down, or that building behind our association 1 Gilford Place or the land waste between Watermark and Spinnaker Cove, or the numerous falling down boat houses on the bay).

it is like the one modern house on the block that was built in the 70's and everyone hated it because it was not traditional. Now look, tiny modern houses made out of left over crap, people bringing industrial in and the Steam Punk design, that very same street that had that one modern style house now has more on it.

At the end of the day, its not your money and not your tastes and desires, oh well

Looks better than some of the ridiculous MacMansions dotting the lake!

Ummm I would not consider this to be "modern" at all. It has ruined the integrity of the shoreline in my opinion. Looks more like a prison tower and is quite an eye sore. I feel bad for the people who have to look at that consistently. I am sure the people in the perfect quaint cottage right next to that were not too happy.
Every time I see it I see this image!

see is where the country is going, its his land, his building, his money. If they chose to building this then its what they wanted, when it does not directly affect you directly, financially, why does the other person have to take your opinions and wants/desires into consideration

off Soap box now

Of course he doesn't NEED to take anyones "opinions or want/desires into consideration" although a little common sense and common courtesy should come into play especially in a condominium complex. How that monstrosity got approved is beyond me but as you say, this "is where the COUNTRY is going". Each to their own....

to your point about being approved its all in what the bylaws allow and don't for the association, then onto the town where if it conforms to their requirements, how could it not.
