Notice of Violation

The economy is falling apart; every fourth house on our block is vacant or being repossessed; we've started mandatory water rationing; and I got a ticket for "front yard parking" of the Caboose.

After reading up on the code section, the problem is that it "shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle in the front yard area of any residentially used lot or parcel of land, except in a paved driveway."

Since we use our "paved driveway" for playing basketball, I mulched the area next to the driveway with wood chips and parked the Caboose there. Now it is parked on the paved area but you can see the trash cans now and it is against code to have visible trash cans so I expect another citation for that when they come to make sure I moved the Caboose.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck... if you put pea gravel down, would that be concidered a "GRAVEL DRIVEWAY"? That way you could still park the caboose & Andy could still play basketball with his buddies. - Your Bro.

Nope. The city doesn't consider gravel to be pavement... Ed
