This has nothing to do with the weight of the vehicle - it is referring to the classification of the vehicle. All cars and most trucks are not in this classification. Only the larger trucks (those that can actually pull a fifth wheel or large trailer) are in this classification.

The statement does not refer to cars. You did.
Using the terminology when the covenants were written, Even the new rangers would be classified as 3/4 ton.

According to you if my neighbor owns a F 250
Parks in his driveway he's breaking the rules

Makes no sense at all

Is it remotely possible that the offending Camper is presently housing a family member who is quarantined? If so I would be inclined to Cut Them A Husk! We/You never really know a persons actual situation. Does it appear that this situation will go on forever with no relief? Only you can make that call cause we're not the offenders neighbor. I understand your concern but approaching them under these conditions may be more expensive than staring down a RV for a bit. (They may give you a hug)

We have a neighbor on the street behind us who stretches the rules constantly while preparing for or recovering from a trip. The older RV hangs out of the driveway slightly and their car is in the street. We know them from the pool and seem nice enough but I don't have to look their property at it as much as their direct neighbors do. I don't like the idea of making a call on any issue like this but can totally understand those who would call. Call/Don't Call give them some time, the decision is yours. If this is the biggest problem you have on this very day I would count myself a fortunate. Good Luck!

Were your neighbors preparing for or cleaning out their trailer when the Shutdown Occurred. Moving their vehicle to a storage facility doesn't seem like essential travel to me. I stand to be corrected. I wonder if their Storage Facility is in fact open if they decided to take a chance and return it to please their neighbors?

Each District will have its' on set of Restrictive Covenants so it is not a "one size fits all" situation. Also, in most areas there are differences between the Villa neighborhoods and those with larger homes due to the fact that the Villa roads are maintained by the developer and not the county. Villa roads are also narrower adding to the problems created by curbside parking. Furthermore, the "dead end" roads which the OP mentioned are designed that way to allow emergency vehicles, i.e. fire trucks better access the side and rear of those end site homes in the event of a fire as well as a means to turn around when needed.

In my District and probably most others as well, Community Standards has compiled a more detailed document entitled "External Deed Restrictions Standards Village Community Development District No. _____" which identifies, clarifies and interprets most if not all of the Deed Compliance issues. For example, with regards to Campers, Winnebago's and other RV's It states that they are allowed on the driveway not to exceed 72 hours (3 days) provided they are not plugged in or inhabited. This allowance is made in an effort to accommodate the packing and unpacking of the RV. Note that this provision clearly stated "on the driveway" and does not address on street parking. I suggest you contact Community Standards and provide they with your address whereby they call provide you with a complete set of restrictions/guidelines for your property. Hopefully they can also address in more detail your specific situation with your neighbor to avoid the necessity of having to file a complaint. Given the fact that you have stated that the RV in question is parked at the dead end of your street it seems to me that the owner is subjecting himself to significant liability in the event of an emergency whereby that space is needed to protect lives and/or property.

Honestly do I really have to explain this in detail for you to understand.

The rules simply put are not enforced period !

Rule breakers know exactly what is going on.
Jeanbob stated that RV's couldn't park on ANY street. ANY street was what I was questioning. I asked about a county/state law or code that prohibits that, not deed restrictions. If this is a county maintained road there has to be a law/code to enable the police to cite the owner. I've re-read all the posts and not read whether this is a Villages maintained road or county. The police can't enforce a deed restriction. I'm not sure what The Villages can legally do about it. I would imagine it will require civil court to enforce the deed restriction. I agree with Jeanbob that it is an eyesore to have to see an RV parked there all the time.

That's not what it means, at all. It has to do with the payload a vehicle can carry, not the weight of the vehicle itself.

Should be stated GVW not 3/4 ton
Hence it won't pass the hold water test when push come to shove

I'll bring that up at the next Hold Water Test meeting. I believe that is in May?
