The docs/rules from 3 other Communities, Reflection Lakes, Cross Creek & The Colony were used to help develop something consistent and fair based on how other communities view and deal with commercial vehicles.

This will go into effect 2/1/07 to give anyone ample time that may be needed in order to come into compliance if need be. A copy will be delivered to all homes as well. I will also email a new copy of the rules & regs that includes this addition to those I have on file.

"No trucks, vehicles or commercial vehicles which are primarily used for commercial or other business purposes, other than those temporarily present on business, may be parked within or on any properties within the Community and may only be permitted to be kept within the Community if such vehicles are kept inside a closed garage and concealed from public view.

For purposes hereof, a vehicle will be deemed commercial either if the size is bigger than but not limited to 1 ton and /or if commercial lettering or signs are painted or affixed to the vehicle and/or if commercial equipment, such as but not limited to: racks, ladders, buckets, canisters, tires, rope, paint cans, other commercial supplies, etc that are placed upon a vehicle regardless of size.

One tool box or storage unit the width of the interior bed of the truck is permissible as long as it is mounted inside the truck bed with no mounting brackets visible from the outside, is kept in good repair, and able to close fully so any items are concealed from public view. Length wise tool boxes or storage units are only permissible on a truck if unit is mounted inside the truck bed with no mounting brackets visible from the outside and the sides of the unit are not higher than the sides of the truck bed itself, are kept in good repair, and able to close fully so any items are concealed from public view.

Commercial signage/verbiage on a vehicle including pictures must be covered with a blank magnetic sign(s), of similar color of the vehicle itself, that covers the entire commercial message to include verbiage and picture if vehicle is not required to be kept garaged as otherwise stated."
