<br />Page 4 of 6 <br />Zoning Board of Adjustment <br />Minutes of October 28, 1993 <br /> <br />A. PROPONENTS <br /> <br />Chairman Bemay swore in Mr. Randolph N. Morvant, Jr. <br /> <br />Mr. Morvant declared he registered the pickup truck based on the <br />original title and registration of the State of California. The State of <br />Texas has recognized the design of this pickup truck by proof of <br />insurance and inspection. <br /> <br />Mr. Morvant stated he is not challenging the Zoning Ordinance. He <br />believes his vehicle is a pickup truck and should not be considered a <br />truck tractor or commercial vehicle. <br /> <br />Mr. Morvant stated there are other trucks of this type within one to <br />two blocks of his property. <br /> <br />Mr. Morvant noted there is a bed on the truck making it capable of <br />carrying a load. It also has a bumper hitch, making it capable of <br />pulling a utility trailer. <br /> <br />In regards to Mr. Lewis' comments about residential streets not being <br />designed to accommodate truck and trailer traffic, Mr. Morvant <br />pointed out that the City's and B.F.I.'s trucks weighed much more. <br /> <br />He noted his truck is not for hire. <br /> <br />Mr. Christensen asked what the truck was used for. He replied he <br />used it like a pickup truck. <br /> <br />Mr. Morvant stated a police officer was present at the time the <br />Inspector issued him a citation. The police officer told the Inspector <br />not to write the citation because it was not a commercial vehicle. <br /> <br />Mr. Grant asked if he carried commercial insurance on the vehicle and <br />if a commercial license was required to operate the vehicle. Mr. <br />Morvant answered "no" to both questions. <br /> <br />Mr. Capen asked what the carrying capacity was. He replied "one ton". <br />
