Section 7.03.1 – Prohibited Vehicles
Summary of Proposed Change
The Association is proposing an amendment to Section 7.03.1 of the governing documents to allow limited storage of one recreational vehicle, trailer, RV, or similar equipment within the rear yard of a Lot under specific conditions.
Current Language (Section 7.03.1):
Recreational vehicles, trailers, boats, RVs, and similar equipment are prohibited from being parked or stored on any Lot, including on driveways or streets within the community.
Current Rule Explanation (For Clarity)
Under the current rule, these types of vehicles are not permitted anywhere on a Lot, including:
-
Front yard
-
Driveway
-
Street
-
Backyard (even if behind a fence)
There are no existing exceptions for rear yard storage.
Proposed Amendment:
Section 7.03.1 is hereby amended to include the following:
(d) Limited Rear Yard Storage Exception
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than one (1) recreational vehicle, trailer, RV, or similar equipment may be stored on a Lot provided that:
-
The vehicle is located entirely within the rear yard and behind a fence
-
The vehicle is not parked on any street or driveway
-
The vehicle is operational and maintained in good condition
-
The vehicle is currently registered and in compliance with all applicable state and local inspection requirements
-
The Board may require reasonable efforts to minimize visibility from the street; however, full screening or complete concealment shall not be required
What This Change Would Do
If approved, this amendment would:
-
Allow one (1) recreational vehicle to be stored in the backyard
-
Require it to be behind a fence and not visible in the front of the property
-
Maintain community standards while providing limited flexibility for homeowners
