Now the good news. I also found out that you can't park within 5ft of property line unless in an approved driveway. This area is not a driveway. So, no boat for boyfriend and good chance I can make him park truck out in the street. Oh yes, speaking of street. Code says cars on public street must be moved every day (!). You can't just park it and leave it. Might be an issue for boyfriend as he has old beat-up Camero thats been parked out front for weeks. I guess what comes around does indeed go around".

I would suggest getting a written copy of the zoning laws that you quoted above and show them to the boyfriend. Tell him that you will cut him some slack on those zoning laws if he does the same for you. Obviously, your location hasn't enforced those laws for 20 years, so why not try it. If they start to enforce them later down the road, go with your alternate plan at the rental.

I agree with this attempt at negotiation. Try to keep it informative and not threatening.

Wow, great find and huge leverage in brokering a mutual deal. You could either both win or both lose. Since you were already resigned to losing and had a plan, he is the one with the most to lose. By the way, he is starting to sound like a real class act...

Please keep us up to date; this is very interesting.
