Comments on: City release to clarify ticketing residents parked on their lawns… http://glasscityjungle.com/wordpress/2009/08/city-release-to-clarify-ticketing-residents-parked-on-their-lawns/ Wed, 18 Aug 2010 02:25:57 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Gary http://glasscityjungle.com/wordpress/2009/08/city-release-to-clarify-ticketing-residents-parked-on-their-lawns/#comment-339892 Gary Fri, 07 Aug 2009 01:03:29 +0000 http://glasscityjungle.com/wordpress/?p=8721#comment-339892 Calling a parked working auto on grass a nuisance is really pushing it. A nuisance must show that is dangerous or potentially harmful to the community. I suppose with this logic a person standing in their own back yard could be classified a nuisance. The code 351.07 for parking in your own yard as it may apply - (30) Stand or park a vehicle in the area between the pavement edge and property line on any uncurbed street or highway inside a business or resident district if such area is maintained as lawn to the pavement edge or lies adjacent to property in use for business or off-street parking; (33) Stand or park a vehicle upon any unpaved portion of a front lot or side lot in any residence district, or upon any unpaved portion of a vacant lot in any residence district, except as otherwise permitted under the local Zoning Ordinance, Part Eleven of the Toledo Municipal Code. This does not say anything about parking in your own back yard. Calling a parked working auto on grass a nuisance is really pushing it.

A few years back, they were doing some work on the street so we couldn't park there. When I asked where I was supposed to park, I was told by a city employee to park in my back yard (on the grass).
