So this thread may be a duplicate from before but it is to hopefully help others with a similar situation in the future. Regardless of outcome I will keep this thread updated and let everyone know what happens.
So this morning I woke up to a code violation notice on my front door. Not what I wanted to wake up to. The notice reads as follows:
20.08.010 Uses permitted per district. Heavy trucks and equipment are not permitted to be parked or stored in a residential district. Must remove within 10 days. Failure to comply will result in a class c citation and further legal action in court. Military vehicles being parked on property.
So I called the Code Enforcement Officer who wrote the notice. I started off by telling him I am not upset with him or mad with him writing the notice and I understand he is just doing his job. I then told him I am not calling to argue about it, but would just like clarification because I do not understand. He told me that it is a commercial style vehicle and it is over weight for a residential area according to the city. I then told him that it is not a commercial vehicle and that it is private and registered as an antique vehicle with Texas Former Military Vehicle specialty license plates on it. He asked if I could provide him with a copy of the registration showing antique vehicle. I told him I will make a copy and have it ready for him tomorrow morning. He said he will stop by and pick it up and speak with his supervisor about it and let me know tomorrow or Friday as to their final determination.
Hopefully this will work out for me. No matter what they decide now I will continue fighting it on my end to allow me to have my vehicle parked at my house. If I have to move it I do have somewhere I can park it, it just won't be as readily accessable (only due to driving time to the truck) as having it at my house. I will keep theis thread updated as I find out more in the next couple of days from the Code Enforcement Officer.
