Section 5: OPA Board Subject: ARC/ECC Nonsense Msg# 1230777

Proposed change to Guidelines:
The only Class 3 vehicle allowed will be a 3500 series pickup truck, not for commercial use and must be parked off the street in the driveway, not on any side or rear yards. A maximum of one (1) such vehicle will be allowed on any lot. What does the above mean in practical terms? How does CPI know if some pickup is used for commercial purposes? What is the determining information? What is the load capacity of a 3500 series pickup truck? Why would the Guideline say it must be parked off the street when the DRs allow no on the street parking? The actual DRs read: "No vehicle, with a load capacity of one (1) ton or greater, including but not limited to commercial trucks, trailer trucks, and buses shall be parked or stored overnight or longer on any lot in the Section or Subdivision in such a manner as to be visible to the occupants of other lots in the Section or Subdivision or the users of any street, waterway or golf course within the Section or Subdivision, unless the prior written approval of the Committee has been obtained." 1 ton = 2000 pounds of payload |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Hi Bruce. The proposed Guidelines would allow OPA to simply confiscate signs placed improperly on OPA common property. Great. I assume OPA common property includes the full width of road right-of-ways in OPA. If my memory is correct, you said in the past that removing signs from association member lots was not possible, or required lengthy due process. However, with regard to board candidate signs, why not make any Guideline provision allowing one board candidate sign per lot, a provision dependent on granting a variance from the DRs not allowing any signs, be based on the lot owner's implicit agreement that more than one sign per candidate would allow OPA to remove any excess signs and throw them away? Without the ability of OPA to remove excess candidate signs, any Guideline is useless. Too long-winded. Or just forbid any board candidate signs. An extremely preferable solution, and in keeping with the actual Declarations of Restrictions. Big picture? Way too many exceptions to thr DRs are, or were, granted over the years to the detriment of this community's property values. |
