Clarify declaration section

Please clarify if boats and/or boat trailors ARE permitted to be parked on home owners property.

In our declaration under Restrictions and Protective covenants,
section 11. Nuisances
(c) No dump trucks, commerical road trucks, tractors or rigs normally used for pulling or hauling trailers, box-trailers, tank trailers, low-boys, flat beds or other similar vehicles, heavy trucks, truck-type tractors, or other similar vehicles with or without trailers, box-trailors, tank trailers, low-boys, flat beds, or other similar vehicles no matter how propelled or any pick-up trucks, van trucks or similar vehicles having a carrying capacity in excess of one (1) ton, or any construction machinery,

boats or boat trailers may be placed, parked, stored, or permitted to remain upon any lot or street in the properties, except for temporary use during construction or repair of any residence or appurtenant structures, streets, utilities, or other common amenities or while actually being used in such construction or repair or for such temporary used as moving or making deliveries.

SandyC - Roger said the answer is no. To me the answer is yes. I'm open to correction. But my read according to your restriction is that boats or boat trailers MAY be placed, parked, stored, or permitted to remain upon any lot or street in the properties, EXCEPT for temporary use...... Therefore boats and or boat trailers ARE permitted.

Try removing the space and read that none of the items listed are allowed except for temporary use ..........

DUH!! Thanks for the correction Roger!! SandyC, Roger is correct, answer is NO.

I agree... if the first paragraph is a complete paragraph, and ends with a period, then the second "clause" stands alone as a complete sentence, and boats can be parked. If, however, you remove the space, then the boats and trailers get lumped into the entire group of "no can do" vehicles that cannot be parked.

As stated, the importance of a period, comma, space, etc..

I think you have a very good policy Chuck;I do the same thing

Another approach I use is to listen to others views while challenging when I do not agree or do not understand (play devil's advocate). This help me recognize and correct misunderstanding.
