Let's forget the DR you (and I) like to quote with regard to trailers. Let's look at the 1990 DR change that regulates vehicles. If trailers are vehicles then OPA can regulate all trailers of any kind, incluidng boat trailers and box trailers, with a load capacity of 1 ton or greater:

"No vehicle shall be parked on any street in the subdivision. No vehicle, with a load capacity of one (1) ton or greater, including but not limited to commercial trucks, trailer trucks, and buses shall be parked or stored overnight or longer on any lot in the Section or Subdivision in such a manner as to be visible to the occupants of other lots in the Section or Subdivision or the users of any street, waterway or golf course within the Section or Subdivision, unless the prior written approval of the Committee has been obtained."

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.
