I live at the southeast corner of the Rocky Crossing-Persimmon juncture. My neighbor, due west, strikes me as a rather decent chap, though I've yet to engage him in lengthy conversation. My concern is, the fellow frequently parks his boat, his boat trailer, commercial pick-up trucks and various other large vehicles along the curb facing the entrance to my driveway, within just feet of Rocky Crossing's dead-end and south fenceline. Problem is, on every occasion when I must leave home, I'm forced to take extra care that I don't strike his parked vehicles upon backing from my garage. This endeavor necessitates a rather tight turn when exiting the driveway, and the maneuver is additionally tricky with the advent of slickened pavement. Questions are, the fellow owns a nicely-sized driveway though seldom uses it: might someone suggest a tactful way in which my friend be approached about the matter without potentially inciting him? Fact is, I'm unsure if he's forbidden by neighborhood stricture from parking his utility vehicles along so narrow a street, so closely to my driveway, and I'm reluctant to arouse his ire by asking him to consider an alternate parking spot for the machinery before a potential accident occurs.
Is this a matter I should attempt to broach with my neighbor privately, or does the Neighborhood Association govern in such an instance? Again, my neighbor seems a very likeable sort, and the last thing I hope to do is to rub him the wrong way. (One never knows when I might otherwise need to borrow a spot of brandy or a jar of grey poupon from him with the onset of inclement weather!)
