Access Denied
In my opinion, it would not be allowed under the deed restrictions. I would suggest you read the deed restriction document very carefully. There are two sections that describe the "driveway easement" and the "side yard easement". In the case you described, your neighbor is called the "dominant tenant" and has the exclusive right (with certain exceptions) to use the property adjacent to your house, even though you own part of that property. I don't think you have the right to place anything on that part of your property. But, your neighbor should adjust their sprinklers so they don't stain your house. Also, you need to be aware that, if one of those sprinkler heads breaks off, it can create a geyser that can spray water under your eave and flood your house.
