Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?
When I moved in with my girlfriend/now wife in the development there wasn't room for my truck and cars... so I read the zoning laws found out the lot was grandfathered and I could build within 12 1/2 feet of the side line. So I did. 36 X 40 with room for a lift in my center bay. I have almost finished the outside and then will start on the inside.

Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?
Hey, there is places in Florida where it is illegal to park a pickup in your own driveway, any pickup.

Municipalities around here (Southern NJ) aren't too bad with ordinances and whatnot like is being mentioned in this thread. But HOA's can be crazy. I looked for quite a while to find a house I liked in the right location with no HOA. I refuse to have busy bodies telling me what color my fence has to be and whether or not I can park in front of my own house. I have one nosy good-for-nothing neighbor across the street, but he and I have an agreement. Stay away from me and I won't break his bones. That treaty has been holding for 4 years now. My other neighbors are cool, 1 is a Chevelle guy and the other is a biker (as am I). His bike is louder than anything I own...LOL.

Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?
Here in Lodi as long as its in your driveway you are safe by park it on the street for 3 days and its gone. 1 day and its gone if you don't have current tags. Luckily for me I have a 15x40 foot driveway.

I've got a fence, a $40,000 Taco Bell block wall all the way around my property. This isn't going to be enough though because the city lady told me they are now going to use aerial photos to patrol folks property. Like it or not guys, this is a preview of what's going to happen nationwide. This is why we all need to get behind initiating SEMA's Pro-Hobbiest inoperable vehicle law in the state we live in. By the way I am not the model of what someone's yard should look like to please the most discerning nosy neighbor yard Nazi. I'm scrambling as fast as I can to get a handle on this situation. |

Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?
I am thankful I live in Amarillo, Texas. Pretty rural feeling here and there are people working on things all over the place, most of it is pretty clean, neat and non-trashy looking. There are exceptions, though. This area is predominantly blue-collar working class people. A service-based city. I moved here because it fits my lifestyle. I have 5 (4 registered) vehicles in which I'm always out front swapping engines, welding, grinding, spraying paint, etc. If I were a white collared individual I might live in ritzy neighborhoods and take my car (I would only have one) in for service. I feel for the Californians where you pay for a house to do whatever you want, then pay for associations to tell you what you can't do!

Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?
I can understand both sides here: If a guy has a project he keeps under a nice, tidy tarp on his driveway, that's one thing; However, if a guy (like my neighbor,) has a bunch of rolling junk heaps on the street that he keeps shuffling around to beat the parking police, not to mention a yard full of knee-high weeds and old cement mixers and such, that is a problem. There's no excuse for living like a pig and dropping your neighbors' property values through your own slovenliness.
There is no doubt the laws are getting ridiculous as regards what you can and can't store on your driveway, but they only came about because folks are fed up with the amateur junkyard dealers who allow their hoarding instinct to overcome common sense. I guess it's just the price we all have to pay for living in a city, (a city other than Oakland, of course,) that is at least attempting to keep itself in decent shape. We don't have such laws here in SJ yet, but I expect the day will come. I personally could live without them... but then again, I'm not trying to sell the house right now with junkie down the street chasing away buyers. That guy is a jerk. He isn't helping anyone with his hoarding problem. |

prostreetC-10 has a right to his opinion, as well. Don't really care if he states it in terms people like/dislike, it's still his opinion and he wasn't rude or overbearing about it. We each have a choice as to where we live and I guess you can move if you don't like how things are being done where you currently reside. The real problem is, it's just going to get worse. Nosy neighbors, government intervention, and everyone else deciding what we can or should be doing is a rea PITA. I try to keep my mess to a minimum, even though I live 30 miles out of town I live in a "development", we just don't have an HOA. But, like prostreetC-10, I don't want Sanford and Son living next door, either.

These types of rules are always used to pick and choose what they(city or HOA) deem as ugly or out of line. But there is always the one that crosses the line. I will admit, I don't want a dumptruck and trailer parked in front of my house. Also, I'm a little territorial. If someont always has their car parked in front of my house I will not like it. I will begin parking there just to shut them out, especially if I don't like them. I know it's a city street. Occasional guests and such are fine, but someone else's stuff as a permanent fixture in front of my that is MY house makes me mad. Starting to Rant!!! bye |

Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?
Here in the Maryland county I live in, there are rules but not too bad. For backyard vehicles, all vehicles must be legally registered to be on the property at all. SO for my '69 Chevy truck, I got historic plates for it and even though the engine has been removed, I am legal. I have a close neighbor that ignores the rule and has quite a few late model junkers that do not qualify for historic plates. His yard looks like crap and I can clearly see his mess from my kitchen window. Complaints ot the county has not done anything to fix the problem either.
I guess everybody has unique problems. Good luck to everyone!

Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?
Your cars have to be in a garage...... put a garage door at the streett end of the driveway!
I'm LUCKY enough to have just built a custom home in a decent neighborhood. I have a 5 car drive in basement and she has a 3 car garage upstairs. I probably won't grow out of it for a month or 2. Her drive is ont the left, mine looks like a 7 hanging off of that retaining wall, you can't see my door from the street. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?
This issue is a vehicle (sorry about the pun) for an interesting discussion about how we all get along with
each other when we have to share the same space. Some folks are respectful of what they would consider to the "quiet use" of adjoining property, even when it keeps them from enjoying their own homes in a way they'd like. Some figure, "Hey, this is my space and I can do what I want here". "If you don't like it, get the Hell out of my area!" And, there are uncountable variations in between. I think the common view of this should be whatever exists in what I'd call the "Community Standard". If someone decides to buy a house in a neighborhood that they can see is a place that's been raising hogs for twenty-five hundred years, or in which they can see before they make an offer that everyone is having beer in each other's driveway while they all drain tranny fluid into the storm drain... to the tunes of Megadeath or Johnny Paycheck, and then they start moaning about "eyesores" ? Or bark about, "a party down the street"? Well, that person should be choked. On the other hand, if someone moves into a butt-tight gated community and starts firing off the 572 before the headers are installed, wha-da-ya-expect's gonna happen? But in between the solution is the problem. "Community Standards" are a moveable feast. And they are moved in so many ways by the dollar. It's an easy call when one end or the other of this issue is broached. But we make too many laws to try to cover a multitude of potentials. Then, we vest the authorities with the power to enforce laws that are so broad in scope that they get to apply them in whatever way they determine. And, guess what? They'll determine whether or not they want you to burn the stash of parts, or take all your tools to the dump, based upon the pressure they are feeling, or that they want *you* to feel from the weight of the "badge". If you live somewhere that your Daddy owns the bank and used to run track in highy school with Sheriff Applegate, and the snoopy 'ol lady down the street called huis Deputy in the middle of the night about hearing you throw a beer can, you'll probably be okay. But if you live in an area that the real estate investors are trying to "gentrify" with the help of the Mayor's newly- plumped campaign fund? And you didn't vote for the guy because he drives around in a Prius with a sign on it that says, "Scrap All Gas Hogs". And you want to change your brake pads in your driveway on Saturday? Ha! You're screwed. So, regardless of WHERE we live, the best we can do is: 1) Use some common sense on how much of a PIA you are (one way or the other); 2) Do all we can to keep stupid laws off of the books (one way or another); 3) Stay connected to the local enforcement guys.. one way or another ($$$); -or- 4) Be prepared to keep moving...'Cause it'll keep happening (one way or another).

Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?
unrelated -- but some of you might run into this... Some HOA's have rules on the number of visible cars. The claim it's because it's an eyesore, but it's also a method to hinder multiple families from living in a single-family home, converting the garage into a living space, etc...

Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?
Funny thing about me is that I'm a true car horder at heart. The first pics are where we lived a year ago. Can you say redneck? I camped by my house for God's sake and had wonderful times with my son. Cars were everywhere. We had nine acres and could make as much noise as we wanted. It just got time for a change. Mainly for the kids. The last house is where I live now. 3 car garge and my neighbors are 5' away. I actually love the change. Serious HOA's. Can't have garbage cans seen (except p/u day). Everything must be below the fence line and on and on. I chose it though just like everyone else in the place. I think it's those middle neighborhoods that are at risk. No HOA's but really nice. People paid good money for their house and would like to see it back when they sell. It will always be "location, location, location" and your neighbor's crap can have an impact on that.
Believe me my nedneck buddies.....I can argue hard either way!!! |

I understand the territory thing. My neighbor across the street parks in front of my house all the time because you can only park on the one side. I like him, but its annoying all the same, especially when his driveway is empty.
