Found this story over on Drudge -

Basically, the homeowner's front lawn was torn up due to sewer work. Rather than replace the lawn they installed some very nice planter boxes and put in vegetables. City code office is making an issue. Check the story (the planters are very nice, tastefully done), check the 'logic' that the code department is 'using' - let me know what you think.
From where I stand, the code doesn't prohibit what they are doing, I don't think the city has a leg to stand on.
