In the week or so since we mailed out the information about the new Parking Permit program, we have not had many residents come in for an application. We had expected a much higher response. As one resident told us, it’s cheaper to rent a spot than to get their vehicle back from the towing company ($300 each time). We will keep the application period open until the end of July 2015.
We have issued many notices for well over a year to all properties detailing the impending enforcement of our Visitor Lot parking rules. It is totally unfair to all residents to let a few break the rules and get away with it, as they have done for a while. I guess they think we will not tow their vehicles; well, they are wrong. We have been towing from our Visitor lots this month and will continue to do so.
Any resident who knowingly and willingly parks their vehicle(s) in Visitor Parking without displaying the Parking Permit will be deemed an “Unauthorized Vehicle” and will be towed.
Regarding towing: if I come home and my mother’s nurse, physical therapist, and care taker are there at the same; I have to have a permit to park my car for an hour in visitor’s parking? It used to be the vehicle had toove every 24 or 48 hours.
Are you aware which vehicles are home owners and not guests? Is everyone’s vehicles noted on file in the office?

Carol, we are aware of what vehicles belong to most addresses simply from driving throughout the property on trash days and other days. We are keenly aware of which residents abuse the visitor parking, as well. If your Mom has medical people over, they are visitors and will not be a problem. If you park your car in visitors lot for an hour, that is also not a problem. We are addressing the people who abuse parking.
Thank you!
