What you or I "view" is of no consequence, other than discussion. In my "view" the local court supports OPA "guidelines" and interpretations of the DRs to an extent that an appeals court would not. However, we have yet to see any case taken to the appeals court.

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

1. Trailers. Paragraph 8.A. (b) of the Declarations of Restrictions of Ocean
Pines states "No temporary house, trailer, tent, garage or other outbuilding
shall be placed or erected on any lot, provided, however, that the
Committee may grant permission for any such temporary structure for
storage of materials during construction. No such temporary structure as
may be approved shall be used at any time as a dwelling place, nor shall
any overnight camping be permitted on any lot.

As I said during the last debate I view the above as allowing boat trailers. I also said that construction trailers, not really existing much at the time Boise made these regulations, were debatable since they would not be included in the term "other out buildings". Boise's sole intent with the above was to prevent people from living on their lot in a temporary structure. Perhaps it needs to be decided once and for all by a court but you mentioned that it had already been done. That doesn't bode too well for Marty.
