Burlington, VT assigned this issue to Permitting and Inspections

Vehicle ticketed.

If its their lawn then why ticket them?

Gil--This is a zoning violation. Parking off approved parking spaces was enacted because adjacent neighbors do not want to be awakened/disturbed at all hours of day/night by vehicles driving in and out of spots sited right next to bedrooms on THEIR private property. Also, parking/driving on lawns erodes the soil and carries it out onto the streets where it plugs up our drains and its nutrients get flushed into our once-pristine lake promoting the algal blooms which affect all of us. Zoning sets up a mechanism to work out parking (and other issues) with the least impact possible on others because we all have to live together here in pretty close quarters.

When did that zoning violation go into effect? I also notice nothing has been done about the lake and the outdated sewage plant leaking into the lake isnt helping things.. I also notice that the surrounding towns dont have that zoning violation ordinance so that isnt helping things either..

Vehicle has been moved. Issue closed.

I still did not get an answer to my question..

Gil--I think that zoning ordinance was enacted here in Burlington on the order of 20 years ago. Why do you ask?

I was just curious. Back in 2010 i could park on the lawn without getting a ticket and this is the first year ive ever heard of it since ive had this app
