No trucks allowed two years ago

Pick-up trucks
Dear Sir or Madam:
A pick-up truck that is used for personal use with no commercial markings or evidence of commercial use shall be permitted to be parked in owner’s driveway. Pick-up trucks are aesthetically equal to many new passenger cars and superior to many older vehicles. Sport Utility Vehicles {SUV) have a truck-base and are in most cases, larger than pick-ups. The Excursion weights over 7000 lbs. The Chrysler PT Cruiser is considered a “truck” under certain federal government guidelines. The Pontiac Aztec could be called a car, van, truck or a confused mess of a design, depending upon who you asked. The Hummer, a fighting vehicle presently used in Iraq, a troop carrier, a tank, a SUV, a truck, just a big hunk of metal larger and taller than the Ford F-150. The Van, a pod on wheels, has never won a prize for beauty or design, just a long ugly box.
In the past decade the most popular vehicle sold in the United States is the pick-up truck. (Ford F-150).
Therefore your restriction of home owners’ trucks is unreasonable. These vehicles along with their cousins the SUV’s have become a staple of our society and to prohibit them would unreasonably interfere with the owners’ right to use and enjoy their property. These vehicles do not interfere with the property values of this community now or in the future.
Lake Ashton has been advertised as a RV friendly community. To change that image now would seriously affect the community’s moral and therefore also affect the property value of homes in Lake Ashton. Let’s keep the motto: “Simply The Best!”
Sincerely,
Edmund W. King
Resident of Lake Ashton and pick-up owner
