Ok, for all you lawyers and law school students out there, I'm asking for your advice.

Okay, I'll be the lawyer that says I'd be very hesitant to trust any legal advise posted in a chat forum. And I certainly wouldn't think of giving any advise.
First, I'm not licensed in California and know little of California law (other than to know that California law sometimes looks a little crazy to those of us from elsewhere).
Second, there are enough unknown variables -- possible restrictive covenants in the neighborhood, ordinances, easements, etc. -- that it really isn't possible to make a competent answer assessment of your situation.
I know it's probably not what you want to hear, but your best bet is to talk to a lawyer in your area. If money is an issue (which I realize it may well be), look for a legal services center or perhaps a legal services clinic at a nearby lawschool (of which California has multitudes). This may not fall under the types of cases/issues such a center or clinic will deal with, but then again it might, especially given your grandparents' situation.
Or maybe there's a Phi Sigma Sigma lawyer in the area who'd help a sister?
