Wichita homeowners association sues couple over yard lamp

A homeowners association in east Wichita is suing a couple demanding they remove a 12-foot-high lamp installed outside their home. The Wichita Eagle reports that the Country Club Court Estates Home Owners Association has filed a lawsuit against Dan and Alice Smith after the couple refused to take the lamp down from their yard. Dan Smith says the cast iron light is a vintage, high-quality piece he restored himself. He says the lamp adds curb appeal and provides security on the street after dark.
