Red stripe = used to be an airfield there. Who knew?
Posted on 04/04/2007 8:32:34 AM PDT by Battle Hymn of the Republic
Amateur car mechanics working in their driveways will face some new rules, including a ban on major repairs and working on more than two vehicles at once, the Sunnyvale City Council decided Tuesday night.
Minor repairs and maintenance such as oil changes are allowed in driveways, and can be done from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The new law forbids more than two projects at once, and all cars being worked on must be registered to a resident of the home or to an immediate family member.
The council voted 4-3 in favor of the new rules, with Councilmen John Howe, Chris Moylan and Ron Swegles opposed, in part because of enforcement concerns.
The move also comes after some Lakewood neighborhood residents complained that neighbors were drinking beer and socializing in driveways while car projects lay idle.
Two car hobbyists spoke against new restrictions at the meeting Tuesday night, saying the new law is too broad.

Sounds like a good time to move to another neighborhood... for a lot of reasons.

Red stripe = used to be an airfield there. Who knew?
Hooray!! More government!! We’re saved!!!
I wanna complain that people don’t have enough junk cars sitting around and are driving my property values up.
I shudder to think of what they’ll command us to do on Homosexual Appreciation Day.
Over my dead body.
When wrenches are outlawed, only outlaws will have wrenches.
Still waiting for Lodi California to prohibit my neighbor from rebuilding and testing his race car. Maybe then I can get some sleep.
They'll stand around cars drinking beer and blasting their accordian music off the radios until after 3 a.m. if you let them. They don't care that they're keeping everyone awake.
It's all about them.
They are already stupid high.
Queue up the theme song to King of the Hill.
But where were the fuel tanks and waste dumps?
I am ok with the cars in the driveway being worked on. My husband has a few hobbies of his own. I do draw the line when I have to ask him to take the car parts out of the tub so I can take a bath. (sounds like a red neck thing doesn’t it).
Could be considered racists, don’t you think?
Well they already prohibit using your fireplace on some days here in the central valley. We get all the smog from the liberal SF bay area where they are buying carbon offsets and not modifying their lifestyle. The wind blows it inland to the central valley and we must modify our lifestyle to accomodate their excess pollution.
My husband had only two qualifications when we moved: (1) outside City of Atlanta and Fulton County (he'd had enough) and (2) NO SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS or homeowners' association with any enforcement powers.
We live in an older Cobb County suburb . . . we had a TR-6 up on blocks for a couple of weeks while we parted it out and sold the carcass, I've built and painted cavaletti for my riding instructor in the driveway, and at any given time there are likely to be dog jumps, bumper catapults and weave poles all over the yard.
We're kinda used to freedom . . .
So if my car dies in my buddy's driveway, I have to push it home before fixing it?
You mean that you don't appreciate Mexican polka music at all hours of the night? How intolerant. < /sarc>
