County says I have too many cars. HELP!, What can I do to get around this? Options

[bondo]

I got a letter saying that I have too many cars visible from the street. not parked on the street, just VISIBLE. In my own fricken DRIVEWAY! They say the limit is 2 per residence.. that's right, TWO. This is a three bedroom house, with enough driveway space to park 7 cars. It's an unincorporated part of the San Luis Obispo County called Los Osos. It's somewhat rural with no sidewalks and not even all the streets are paved. Somehow having cars in my driveway is a blight to the neighborhood? Come on. My first instinct is to build a giant sign that says "The county says I can only have two vehicles visible from the street, so I built this sign to hide them" and then put the cars behind it. Then when they complain about the sign I can claim freedom of speech. My dad owns the house (we pay rent), so there's no chance of getting evicted. Any suggestions how I can fight this? (the letter was actually sent to my dad) I moved here specifically to avoid this sort of ordinance that cities typically have.. who knew the county would come after me?

I'm pissed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Shortly after a couple of city slickers moved in across the road, “someone” complained about my cars (BTW some neighbour has complained about yours), I read the law. I was allowed one boat on a trailer, one other trailer, farm equipment was exempt, two unplated cars and no limit on plated cars. I put a couple of scrap cars, a ratty boat and tent trailer right on the front lawn, then I told the farmer next door what was going on. “We’ll fix their wagon” he said, the next day I came home to find manure spreaders, ploughs, seeders, plus a big mother tractor and combine parked on my front lawn.

The inspector came by, looked around, big smile “your 100% legal Mr. Henry”. I told him to tell “whoever” that it would be gone in a couple of weeks, if they complained again it would be back for good. “Will do”, he laughed.

I never had another complaint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
