Creative Solution from Man Ordered by City to Build Privacy Fence
The letter, not the spirit
Etienne Constable of Seaside, California is a boat owner. It's parked on a trailer in his driveway, in plain view. The city government informed Constable that this was illegal; the boat would need to be visually concealed behind a six-foot visual barrier.
Constable complied and had a six-foot gate built. Then he hired a local muralist, Hanif Panni, to adorn it:
Constable is now technically in compliance with local codes.
Images of the mural went viral, and according to KSBW News, "Panni says other Seaside residents have already asked for him to create murals for their boat fences."

I live in Fresno and some 20 years ago the city passed an ordinance stating that your rolling garbage cans could not be visible from the street. I had a clever that put them behind a small fence that he built...and painted to look exactly like the garbage can he was supposed to hide.
