Definition of "ordinary public view"

It can't be seen from the street or driving by. The object can be seen from inside your private residence, backyard, or top floors.

so are you both considering private back yards "ordinary public view" even if an item is screened from street location, a neighbors back lot view is considered public?

Thx

Patrick,

Although CO does use the phrase in their statutes. I could not find where CO defined the phrase. The city of Lakewood did define "public view":
"Public view" means an observation from any location exterior to the property.

Other States did define the phrase and I've provided a few of them here below. You may need to get your Association to clarify the definition within a resolution as it appears to be open for interpretation.
