Additional Comments

Residents should be able to park ONLY ONE unregistered vehicle on their property 
(back yard ONLY, preferably out of view).

With zoning, people would be able to place cars on lots set aside for that purpose 
(at their cost to buy or rent the property), perhaps even a communal lot.

It seems to me that there are "normal expectations" for residential properties, depending 
on the [city,town].  As alsways, it would help to see the bylaws elsewhere as benchmarks, 
for ideas, and to know what cannot be demanded in bylaws.

I'm afraid of over-strict applcation of this - eg old shingles.  But it's fair to neighbors
that everyone keep a minimum standard.
I assume that foxes etc are part of the problem here.

Yards
YES			Properties should not have an accumulation of any scrap, litter, trash, garbage, or
				waste of any kind.
YES			Properties should not have broken appliances, furniture, etc.
YES			Properties should not have an accumulation of construction or building materials,
				unless being currently used on the premises and doesn’t blow onto other properties.
		NO		If a backyard is fenced properly the above items no longer apply.
YES			Yards should drain to avoid standing pools of water, and should not drain onto
				neighbouring properties.

Additional Comments

Hard to drain without affecting neighboring properties, although many properties are 
on slope towards road or back alley?
It is assumed that all items above apply to material OUTSIDE of the [house,garage,etc].
