Parking in Waterloo Region

[Ace]

At one point I heard that whatever ground cover used for the "new" parking spot needs to match the existing.  So if you had an asphalt driveway and made a "new" parking spot off to the side with gravel, it could be a problem.  That is...if you have a bunch of neighbors with nothing better to do than to grind an axe.

I am not sure exactly how these friends of mine got around any by-law in Kitchener, but it was on Van Camp in Kitchener, on the right going away from St. Mary's Hospital.  They're not living there as they upgraded (so I feel comfortable posting the house). See picture below so you can see what they did, that addition used to be grass.

Looks like a walkway to me  . 

Here's another example. Curb cut remains the same but concrete is extended onto front lawn.


As with most by-laws, they only apply when someone complains.
