    I would assume you could apply for an exemption. All they would have to do is set some “your non-structure obstructed property must be this big” number and check the survey.

    Worst case: Maybe they’ll be lazy and include the building and driveway/parking lot, in which case you’d have to appeal with some pics or some other proof at worst. Have more requirements to reach, like max dB, specific exemption hours, etc.

    Best case: They check a Google Earth view before finalizing the denial, saving you the appeal, and you get the thumbs up.

    Betterest-best best case: They only care about it if someone complains or they’re at the property for some other reason.

    Edit: I’m talking from an average Joe’s perspective. The real best case is that everyone moves to electric lawn tools and minimal manicured lawns, but unless they’re giving out free upgrades, it doesn’t seem reasonable to just flip a switch with little warning. I COULD see them setting a cut off date a few years out, where they do a complete ban after the partial one.
