PS: Why do you keep an empty boat trailer in your FRONT yard all the time? Can't you hide it somewhere in the back....under a deck or something?

Should I say it is none of your business? Naaah.....I do so because there is currently no prohibition against doing so, and it is more convenient and there is no other place on my property; it stands only two feet off the ground and has no blue tarp, and there are perhaps thousands of such trailers, most with a boat taking theme to 8 foot or more high and blue tarp. However, if OPA would exclude all trailers I would be happy to find an alternate location.

If you like I can come over to your place and make some suggestions of things not required by OPA that you might do to improve the appearance of your property.

PS -- the boat trailer is in my back yard. I am on water front property.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:

Marty, I guess I don't understand what you are doing.
Nope, and it doesn't seem you have from the beginning. Joe

Yes....I did understand the point he was making, but I thought it would be done from a POSITIVE standpoint....not the negative.

To prove that a work trailer could be blended / screened ...whatever .....seems to me a better tact to take.

I cannot understand why seven reasonable people cannot figure out a way to solve this problem.

Likely, none of us want to see work trailers all over the place... but on a case by case basis ...with a good plan of screening, I do not see WHY it cannot be worked out.

This is not a health and safety issue. It is about AESTHETICS....period!
