Montgomery Place Community Parking Regulations and Enforcement Petition

Mont. Place Community Association's forthcoming amendments and regulations place the burden on the homeowner to monitor their parking. The regulations, though, they had been in effect in some form, do not need a change in enforcement. A community associations' purpose is to preserve, maintain, enhance, and protect. The new enforcement procedures do not work for the benefit of the homeowner, but add difficulty, stress, and unnecessary labor.

Issues with the updated parking policy include:

-The towing service has choice on whom to tow by their own determination of compliance with Association rules, without necessarily having a tow request, and will likely result in tow trucks hunting for cars throughout the neighborhood.

-The homeowner needs to have approval in registration for different vehicles parked in their own spaces. This causes extra burden, as well as issues and difficulty with guests and neighbors.

-These changes were voted on by a very small group, and ability to vote on these regulation changes was not made available to those who have conflict with work, travel or other matters preventing them from attending a community meeting. Changes of this import should be made available by a ballot or other means left on neighborhood doors, or distributed by the same means the newsletters are.


The Montgomery Place Community of homeowners request the following changes by the Montgomery Place Community Association:


-We request that the new enforcement procedures and amendments be canceled immediately.

-We request the cancellation of the mandate for new parking tags.

-We request the immediate termination of the new towing contract with SJC Towing & Recovery, LLC.

-We request that the tow truck company not be given choice and ability to tow and monitor the neighborhood by their own accord, especially without a request made by a resident, and approved by management.

-We suggest that if the responsible Association members cannot complete the duty of being moderator for towing requests, that the duty be given to a management company that will honor our stated requests.

Thank you!

I have two spots assigned to my townhome. It is my prerogative to what cars are parked in my spots. If any car parks in my assigned spot, it had better not be towed whether or not it has a sticker. We are not tenants, we are homeowners and no one should dictate to us how we use parking spots that come with our homeownership.

We also feel this enforcement and requiring of tags/guest passes is overkill. We have never had a problem asking people to move if they have parked in our spot (this has rarely happened though in the 5.5 years we've lived here). It really is a burden when having guests come over and feels like an apartment complex rather than a homeowner community. The news about the tow companies discretion is also worrisome.

Hi there was a message sent from a community member that proposes a new petition, Please Join: Dear Homeowners- I was disappointed in the board's response to delay and modify the parking policy. They recommended that any changes be presented in a petition. Can you let me know if you are willing to sign a petition that states: We want the MPCA parking policy modified to: The tow company can only remove a car from a "RESERVED" space when called by the assigned owner. Please respond to: [email protected]

This seems to be an extra burden on the homeowner. Towing fees are very high and this would also be an economic burden on homeowners. Towing should only be enforced if called in by a homeowner. No cars should ever be towed from a numbered space whether there is a valid parking permit or not.n
