Now if we are talking about how close you can place a piece of furniture to a hydrant, I know Sumter County has a rule where you aren't allowed to obstruct the hydrant with anything and had to leave a 3 foot clear radius around the hydrant. I don't know about other areas of TV.

Agreed it doesn't make sense at all—and this was confirmed by the Director of Public Safety for TV. When I park my car in my own driveway (as I do every day), I am not only not fifteen feet from the hydrant, I am closer than three feet! THIS is what the Director explained to me in terms of the law not making sense in relation to how the hydrants are placed. According to him, I cannot be ticketed for parking in my own driveway, even though I am virtually on top of the hydrant! (Duh....) The desk was actually further from the hydrant than the car is when it's parked in the driveway!
