I am a homeowner in Naples Florida and received letters in the mail from my community association where I live to remove my Pick up truck from my driveway.
Yesterday I finally end up receiving a "Notice of Fining Hearing".
If I don't remove my pick up truck from my driveway, they will fine me up to $100/ day per violation. And $5000 for continuing violation.
Since this pick up does not fit in my garage I don't know how to handle this.
The reason why I think it's not fair is that I my truck is not a commercial vehicle.(no stickers, company name, advetising... And it's the entry size lebel of the brand (dodge RAM 1500).
It is only driven for personal use and should not be considered as a commercial vehicle.
Can anyone help me? Because I love this truck. I don't want to have to sell it!!!

Real Estate agents have consistently stated that commercial vehicles diminish property values.

While I can sympathize with the situation, let's take it to another level. IF you allowed commercial vehicles in the community, you could end up with tractor-trailers and the like parked on your street. How about a dump truck? I'm not picking on the people who drive these vehicles. I'm just pointing out an extreme that would make the commercial van or pickup owner mad.
Additionally, I'd venture to say each of you signed a statement at closing that you had received, read, and understand the Covenants and Restrictions of your HOA. Of course, most just sign the document and pass it in.

I don't know about Gwinnett, but I bet it is the same as Cobb County, Georgia/.
In Cobb you are not allowed to park commercial vehicles in your driveway. I think you can put them in the garage, though.
Go online and check out Gwinnett's Codes and Ordinances. I do not remember which section it is in. It has to do with business use of a home and what you are allowed to do. You may also want to call the local Code Enforcement office.

Is the vehicle with signs and carrying ladders, etc., the vehicle you would drive on vacation with your family?

What has happened to the sanctity of our homes. Good honest working people being told that they can't use the tools of their trade. Then again, most Homeowner Association boards are not blue collar worker.
Keep fighting for your vehicle...

Our homeowners association does the same thing. It is actually written in the by-laws that commercial vehicles are not to be parked anywhere in sight from the street.
We didn't learn of this until after we had moved in - we didn't get copies of CC&R's until after closing. Our next door neighbor was forced to park outside of the development, and his vehicle was repeatedly broken into, damaged and spray painted.
Number one, people should be informed of the CC&Rs at the time that earnest money is put down.
And number two, yes I agree that I wouldn't want to look at old delapatated box vans in the neighborhood, but It's harsh to place these types of rules on people if this is their livlihood.
In our case, we had two commercial pickup trucks, and luckily we were able to cut, shorten and solder the ladder racks back on so that they would fit in the garage. Good luck on changing the regulations on the vehicle, and as far as the flowers, I'd like to tell the person that is instructing me on what colors to plant, that I'll plant something alright.............
