Comments
Section B, Para. 1 does not appear to agree with Section A, Para. 3 regarding the number of vehicles or the determination of opaque screening/fence. I strongly feel that a property owner should not be restricted in any fashion as to the number of vehicles kept on his/her PRIVATE property as long as they are screened from view.
