comply with contemporary accepted standards of harmony and compatibility with

Anita Residents' Association, and the appellant failed to demonstrate or to
provide evidence that the proposed doors and matching window area are
consistent with other doors and windows in the foregoing areas; and

excessive, garish, and substantially unrelated to and inconsistent with the
appearance of other homes in the neighborhood.

Anita Residents Association's Architectural Review Board's denial of the
