Usualy, a municipality can regulate street parking within it's jurisdiction, based onthe state's MVD defenition of that vehicle's registration, and they normaly do no reinterpret( reinvent their own defenition diferent from one alredy made by the state MVD). In Most steate antique or Historic vehicles are exempt from most municiple rules, as long as they are titled and registered in that state in that way. I am not familiar with the Kansas laws, but that is a good angle to look at for making a chalenge to a stupid ordinance, it can not prevail if it is against state law regulating vehickels there. As for cities and counties all over trying to enact ordinances to control and greatly limit your use of your own property "for the good of the comunity, or greater common good" is as old as early 1900's. It has reached it peak in China, and it is called Communism, there, there is a rule on how many kids you wil have , and if you have more than is "Alowed" they wil fine you, and or force an abortion, or if it is toolate, will take the child away and realocate that child to where the state feels wil properly serve the common good, as such is determined by the state. All local ordinances here start as "resonoble regulations", with only warnings and provisions for voluntery compliance, then the financial penalties are added, then civil fines and later criminal charges, for non-compliance. Just for example, a friend of mine in Glendale AZ, has gotten the city on his case, for a shade tent in his back yard, behind a 6' block fence. A notice to remove or face civil and criminal charges of a misdemeanor, (first offense), and a fine of $350.00-$ 3000.00, depending on the feeling of the case manager from code compliance. This is new and it is retroactive. We went to the compliance office to find out if there was a complaint, but were told that since this year is a budget crunch, 74% of all of their cases are self generated, to raise $$, case workers troll the neighborhoods, looking for what would be a fineable violation, and write a ticket for it. If it is not paid within 10 days they lean the homeowner's property, if not paid then, they will proceed to foreclosure, and criminal charges against the owner, by default. Needles to say, the shade tent came down the same day, and my friend is looking to move from city of Glendale, which used to be a nice and easy place to live until "proactive management" got in somehow.
City of Glendale is too large and too complex politicaly, but for smaller more traditional municipalities there is still hope to get interested locals involved, and do not let "reasonable Regulators" overtake and slowly subvert your comunity. Sorry for the digress.
