New, ugly high 'popsicle' fence. Should that not be lower than 4 ft to be in compliance with the UDO?

This is in reference to our neighbors which I think is 1857 E Cheyanne Ln. What is the proper way to request consideration for a new ordinance? Our neighbors installed a pool on the west side of their property and placed the pool pump and pool heater on the east side of the property. The problem is we now have noise in our yard, on our deck, and in our house when the pool heater is active. The heater is louder than the standard pump and the rumble is unfortunately a frequency that penetrates walls. I think it is unrealistic to have to hear the low rumble of the equipment, particularly inside our house, but it is also frustrating that the deck and yard are also affected. Our primary living space and windows are on the south side which puts us in close proximity to the equipment. The other night when it was cool we wanted to open our windows, but the pool heater was on, so we didn't. I think Bloomington needs an ordinance to require pool equipment be enclosed under certain conditions, particularly in neighborhoods where lot sizes are smaller and house density is higher. The pool heater will likely be active from April through October, though I'm hopeful it will run less as the temperatures increase. Still, situations like these shouldn't impose on neighbors. Last weekend, it ran most of the time throughout the afternoon and into the early evening hours, but it comes on whenever it determines the pool temperature has dropped.
Has 3 vehicles at a time on his front yard. Has been like this for a few months. Thought he would get them sorted elsewhere and hasn’t. He does have a garage to fit 2 car and a driveway to fit 2.
Advertising sign 'Thrasher Landscaping' in the grass next to the road at the E Third Street entrance to First United Church.
This car continues to park off the street in the grass.
Residents and guests of the houses on the corner of Grimes and Fess continually park the wrong way on the street, and block the intersection by parking next to the stop sign. A “no parking“ sign is needed on the east (northbound) side of S Fess at the intersection with Grimes.
Is there a way to respond to a uReport? Case #210072 was closed 05/01 with the following comment: Planning staff visited the reported address, which seems to actually reference 1857 E Cheyanne Ln, and did not observe equipment or similar from the ROW. I don't understand how the equipment was not seen from the ROW (which I'm guessing is right of way). Thank you.
I usually exercise in the mornings, very early. There's a short stretch of less than 100 meters without a sidewalk that connects S Walnut St with E Rhoher St. Even with flashlights and walking against traffic, the traffic at that time is extremely dangerous and fast. It would be a great advantage to have a sidewalk so I could exercise peacefully or walk to buy food without risking the safety of everyone else in the area.
In response to the response to https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=210064, I understand that the mural is on private property, but it appears to violate several provisions of the UDO regarding size, placement, and relevance of advertisements and signage in public.
Is there an ordinance related to ACs, vents, pool pump, and pool heaters? The neighbors have strung equipment all down the property line. The rumbling noise affects usage of our deck, backyard, and even the west side rooms of our house.
