I would have to agree with this. I can’t see where there’s any effort to limit residents to a particular discipline, it’s just that commercial vehicles can be grungy and look sort of rough in some cases. A lot of them are rather, well, loud as far as graphics, too, so it’s like a giant billboard parked in someone’s driveway. I don’t want to see this.
Our original covenants/community standards were written by some attorney back in the late 1990s. It’s funny, as they apparently wrote them for nearly every major development in the area at the time, as our property manager looked them over and said, “Oh, so and so wrote these.” From what they said this guy’s firm was the main legal beagle for all the developers in the area. As someone mentioned earlier in the thread (Curt?) there are a lot of things that are violations of County “community standards”, so whenever possible we engage the local Code Enforcement officer to deal with these. It’s far more effective and quicker, too. Last week a resident parked a 27 foot powerboat on a trailer in front of their house on the street. This thing was a monster, so long it blocked nearly the whole front of their lot and also took the street down to one lane. It was there for more than a day, so I put in a ticket with the County for a code violation (not allowed by County ordinances - 24 hours, max.) Code enforcement was there the next morning and decided they would get the Sheriff to write the owner a ticket, as I provided a time stamped photo showing the boat had been there for going on two days. Got an email from the Code Enforcement officer around 11:00 am that morning saying he had a sheriff write the owner a ticket. If they didn’t move it within 24 hours it would be towed and impounded. When I came home around 3:30 it was gone. -D > On Jul 9, 2019, at 4:05 PM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > I guess because this is a residential neighborhood, and the line on signs > has to be drawn somewhere.
