Commercial Vehicles violations



Parking Request
Request to park Commercial Vehicle

Purpose: To define the term “commercial vehicle” and to clarify the interpretation of Paragraph 5 of the Declaration of Restrictions as it applies to commercial vehicle restriction.

Authority: The Association… shall have the right to enforce by any proceeding at law or in equity, all restrictions, conditions, covenants, reservations, liens, and charges, now or hereafter imposed by the provisions of this Declaration.  Failure by the Association… to enforce any covenant or restriction herein contained shall in no event be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter.”Paragraph 5, Declaration of Restrictions: “…Commercial vehicles of any kind operated by a member of the household occupying the dwelling on the Lot… shall not be parked on the street within the front or side setback lines or anywhere on the Lot it… would be visible from any traveled road or another Lot.”

We can tow the vehicle at the owner's expense that is not ideal because we know everyone has to work but following the rules and being a good neighbor is important.


1. Background
a. Restriction of commercial vehicles is an important factor of maintaining and enhancing the quality of the community and its property values.

b. The Board further recognizes the term “commercial vehicle” can hold different
meanings for different individuals.  As such, it is imperative the term be clearly defined to eliminate confusion and provide for consistent and equitable enforcement.

c. In order to minimize the burden placed on homeowners, the Board endeavored to discover the least restrictive definition while balancing the Association’s need for enforcement. 


Definition
a. A commercial vehicle is defined as any vehicle which has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 12,200 lbs. 

b. Pickup trucks and vans with a GVWR below this threshold, and therefore not
considered a commercial vehicle for the purpose of this policy, include:

  • i. Ford E/F‐Series 150 ‐ 350  
  • ii. Chevrolet C‐Series 1500 ‐ 3500
  • iii. Dodge Ram Series 1500 – 3500
  • iv. Freightliner Sprinter 2500 – 3500 (Cargo or Passenger only)


c. The display of commercial signage (business name, phone numbers, etc.) or
ladder racks will not cause a vehicle such as those described in Paragraph B to be
labeled a commercial vehicle.

d. The absence of commercial signage does not preclude a vehicle from being
considered commercial.

Prohibited Vehicles
a. The following vehicles are considered commercial vehicles, even if they meet
the weight requirement established in Section 2, Paragraph A:

  • i.  Box vans
  • ii.  Step Vans


Appeals

 a. If a homeowner desires to appeal the commercial vehicle designation they
must contact the board in writing within 15 days of their violation notice.

b. The appeal must include the homeowner’s name, address, phone number,
date of violation, vehicle description (to include GVWR), and offer a defense of why the vehicle should not be considered commercial.

c. Within 7 days, the Board will consider the merits of the appeal and notify them
homeowner if the designation as a commercial vehicle will stand

Pool Status Update for 2021

Image
Hello Homeowners,  I wanted to update you on the pool for this year. As you all know, the pool equipment room experienced extensive damage during the storm. We have been working diligently to get items replaced. Since most of our pool equipment was damaged, the wait time for some parts is very long. But as of last week, we received 90% of the items we need to repair the pool. We still need to get two giant filtration balls to complete the equipment room rebuild.       We will not be able to open during the upcoming holiday weekend, but maybe a month later to get all equipment changed and ensure that all items function. We will also not be issuing pool cards until we are sure that we can get things open. I apologize for the inconvenience but we are working to get things back in order as soon as posable
