Discussion began by acknowledging this section as a heavily debated one throughout the community. Key points of discussion in the community AND in the committee include:
-What is defined as a commercial vehicle?
-Most RVs currently in the neighborhood do not look bad
-Campers/RVs and commercial vehicles need to be separate rules and dealt with separately.
Changes:
Completely overhauled
Discussion held and committee agreement made:
Commercial vehicles:
-This committee wants to make it clear, the Commercial vehicle portion of the proposed section is intended to restrict large industrial vehicles (trash trucks, dump trucks, farm machinery, etc)
-No part of the proposed section is intended to restrict standard sized vehicles used by businesses
-The committee believes the proposed rule needs to be rewritten to be more clear. Suggestions included quoting the PA Commonwealth's definition of a commercial vehicle so community members would be clear on the types of vehicles being restricted. The committee agreed to table discussion to allow for research on the definition of commercial vehicles and reflection on better, more clear wording.
RVs & Campers:
-This committee wants to make it clear, the RV & camper portion of the proposed section does NOT restrict campers or RVs of ANY size from being stored on a member’s lot. The section ONLY restricts the size of RVs & campers when parked on LHPOA’s property.
-Campers & RVs on member lots are only restricted in that they must be registered & stickered by Lake Heritage if they are to remain on the member’s lot for more than 7 days. The intent is to limit RVs and campers on member’s lots to those owned by the member.
Semi trucks/trailers:
The committee wants to add the word “overnight” to paragraph #4 to ensure clarity. Trucks and trailers being operated in the community for normal use should not be restricted.
