Garage Parking Draft Resolution

I have good news and bad news related to the most recent three posts that precede this post.

The good news is that our Unit Owners Association President intervened to reverse the Association Manager position I characterized as “reprehensible” in the most recent post preceding this one. In other words, our On-Site Manager has now provided me a copy of the draft resolutions I referred to in that post. Other good news is that the draft resolutions are just drafts--drafts that, fortunately, the Board of Directors hasn’t adopted, and that can be readily changed before adoption.

The bad news is the draft parking resolution contains provisions with which I am sure most of us unit owners don’t agree. One provision with which I strongly disagree is the (proposed) right of the Board of Directors to have any vehicle failing to display a properly registered hanging tag towed from the garage and stored at the expense of the owner. Does that mean your vehicle could be towed from your assigned parking space simply because you forgot to hang your parking tag on your rear view mirror?

As I suggested in the third post preceding this one, I don’t think I need any “assistance” from management (or--worst nightmare--towing companies) in checking for “unauthorized” vehicles in my parking space. For me and other unit owners who feel similarly, I don’t see what purpose hanging parking tags (or registering vehicles with management) would serve. I don’t need to see a parking tag hanging from the rear view mirror of a vehicle parked in my space to know whether I authorized it to be parked there. On the other hand, I am okay with use of hanging parking tags and management assistance for unit owners who want help in keeping unauthorized vehicles out of their parking spaces. (But I doubt there are many unit owners in this category.)

I am hopeful that the Board will solicit extensive unit owner input before adopting any parking resolution.

If you wish to post a comment regarding this issue, I suggest you do so in the “Garage Parking” thread in the “registration required” area of http://marketstreet.proboards83.com/ or, register and start a thread on my new forum at http://mstcuoa.proboards59.com/
