A lot of jurisdictions have by-laws regarding the parking of,boats,motorhomes,transports etc. on residential lots and I can understand why. I will use this as an example back in a previous sub division I lived in there was a guy that would park his large moving truck in his driveway and of course start the noisy diesel up at 4:30 am disturbing everybody especially in the summer time when everybody has there windows open,on my old street in Shelburne there was a guy that stored his RV in his driveway and it blocked the side walk forcing people including kids and mothers with strollers out onto the street.And that is why they have by-laws because you know there will be some guy that will want to park his RV, his boat his snowmobile and his ice hut on his front lawn!!!
I have on occassion left my boat in my driveway for a few days at a time with no problems but all it takes is one phone call to end that.
