this is a big one
sure, its your property, but it is their town, big dog little dog you know?
i had a similar issue a while ago
the place i was living was zoned a certain way and there was a local ordinance prohibiting "major vehicle repairs in the driveway"
at the time i was replacing the engine in my duster (not really major to us, but i can see how not everyone feels that way)
well, i got a notice from the city, stating i was in violation and that i had until a certain date to have the car put back together or moved into the garage
rather them crumbling it up grumping "aint nobody gonna tell me what to do" i picked up the phone and called the city and asked where i was in violation
i then explained i wasnt running a business, and told them when i was expecting the parts to come in and when i was planning on getting the car back together
he gave me an extension to get everything done, and even gave me some pointers on how to "keep up appearances" to keep the neighbors happy
