Just got a letter today from my local zoning enforcement officer stating that my beautiful bobbed M35 must be immediately removed from my driveway or I would be issued a violation carrying a fine. How disappointing, if my neighbors want to complain just tell me face to face. I likely would have graciously moved it out to my shop. I have one problem with the Article that was noted as the violation. The article states that "No commercial vehicle with a load capacity in excess of one ton be parked overnight to include semis and trailers." The M35 is not a semi. Admittedly it kind of looks like one. But, it is not. Anyway, I don't know what to do here. Now I feel like I have a responsibility to fight this for oppressed MV owners everywhere. All kidding aside, I do not intend to take this lying down. If the neighbor in question is too cowardly to make his/her grievance known to me face to face than I am obligated to point out that the vehicle is not commercial and therefore not in violation of the ordinance. Especially, considering that there are more 5th wheels and travel trailers parked in my neighborhood than at an RV lot and that is legal. Some people just have nothing better to do than complain. What would you fellow MV owners do?
sounds like a loop hole to me, its not commercial. hope all goes well. glad i live in the country.

You gotta lawyer up! You do not own a commercial vehicle so this does not apply to you. This one looks easy, but you should have a lawyer on your side. Good luck!

Sounds like you may not have a problem. Just research the code and draft a friendly letter back to the Zoning Dept. Untill you do that, move the truck to your shop to avoid possible towing while you are away from your house. Bring it back home when you are in the clear!
Or........move to the country. I'm sure about 50 M35's and 5 tons could could show up to help you move. Your misinformed neighbor would love that!
I would fight it. Go to the zoning office and speak to a supervisor. Get the exact wording of the ordinance. Try to educate them. Man, I hate busy body neighbors.
Now every time I hear of your situation I'm so glad I didn't buy a home in a home owner association controled development . If anyone puts money in for the house payment then they have a voice. If not then they can shut the **** up.....
