Mini Library and private property

[Schekk95]

Goodmorning,

So I know Wayspots on Single Family Home Private property is not allowed.

We have a free mini library here in the neighbourhood. Its on the edge of the property. See attached picture.

I know the owner of the house personally and I jokingly said to him that he should have placed the mini library at the side on the fencing so I could make it a Pokéstop. He then said, I give you permission to make it a Pokéstop.

So on one side Wayfarer rules are clear. How would you look at this in your opinion?

Permission from the home owner still does not make it eligible if it is on SFPRP - single family private residential property.

I can’t tell anything about the property lines from this photo. If it is not on SFPRP per your local laws, then you can submit it. The way this is propped on supports, I am not sure that it would be accepted as a permanent installation in any case.

Property line is the grey line just in front of the library.

Little Free Libraries

Little Free Libraries (LFL) can be eligible for nomination, but their location is critical to whether they can be accepted. Little Free Libraries with safe access on sidewalks outside of apartment buildings or on municipal or communal property are eligible. Those on single-family private residential properties (SFPRP) are ineligible. [image] :+1:The LFL above is a good example of an eligible Waypoint. It is on public property and is well-maintained. It faces the sidewalk, does not block acces…

Private Residences, Farmland & K-12

Single-family private residential properties (SFPRP), farms, and K-12 (schools or facilities primarily focused for persons under 18 years of age) are ineligible. This includes the outer facing facade, fence of these locations, and property boundaries. Objects in or upon apartment blocks, gated communities, or their shared spaces may be eligible assuming they otherwise meet criteria and are intended to be accessed by a community, even if not everyone. Communal spaces have the potential to be eli…

Yes got it, no worries. Rather ask here then get it rejected and get a flag for sending in stops that are not eligible.

Its a pity I cannot put it up. But rules are rules
