play equipment

I live in the tahoe donner community in truckee ca. I wanted to build a teeter totter (tt)in my yard, so i checked the rules in the td rule book, and found nothing refering to the subject. So i built it. It is a tad taller than most tt's. The hoa decided to have a hearing, which i attended, and argued, that my neighbors have tt's in their swing sets, and everyone is fine with it. They said mine is extreme, which is correct. So i asked them what they would consider unextreme. They told me they would discuss it, and get back to me. They sent me a letter saying i was denied, but gave me no reason or size that was acceptable. They did this at all three hearings, including the appeals hearing. All i want to know is how small i need to make my tt to be acceptable.
