There was a vehicle towed today from a visitor lot for violating the 48 hour rule as posted on the signs. The vehicle belongs to a homeowner/tenant and had been tagged for being in the lot for 4 days. The tag was removed, which does not negate the violation.
Just so we are clear, the Board defines the 48 hour rule as parking in any visitor lot for more than 48 hours. Moving a vehicle over one or two spaces or to another visitor lot changes nothing. The posted 48 hour limit for parking in a visitor lot means just that. These lots are for Visitor Parking Only which is also posted on the signs. This vehicle could have been towed for either reason because it was not authorized to park there.
Violating the Association’s parking rules will result in your vehicle being towed. You can find these rules by clicking on Governing Documents, above.
is there flexability when it comes to visitors who may be staying with a homeowner for longer than 48 hours. example, my sister and her family have plans come to visit from north carolina for christmas and will be possibly staying with us for about 3-4 days. her car may not always be parked in the lot but they will definitely be staying there at night. depending on when they need to travel to see other family member they may be there 2 days, gone for a day or 2 (in their vehicle) and then back again another couple of days. how are those type situations handles with the towing company?
Lindsay, yes, we do allow some flexibility when it comes to actual visitors. If you will come into the office and let us know the make and model of the vehicle, we will see that your guests are not towed.
sounds good! thanks so much!
