CC&R change to allow well maintained small utility style trailers to be parked on our property
This is a petition to allow homeowners within the Tortosa subdivision to park small utility trailers in their own driveways. The trailers would be required to be maintained in a manner consistent with the guidelines for vehicles. If the homeowner of a property is notified in writing (via the HOA) of no less than 3 complaints related to a trailer parked on his/her property, the HOA will give the homeowner no less than 14 days to resolve the situation in a manner acceptable to the HOA.
For example, I am a homeowner in Tortosa and I have a 5x8 utility trailer that is well maintained (purchased approximately 4 months ago). In July, my father in law passed away and my family has occasionally moved furniture and other items from his house to ours using the trailer. According to the HOA, even if the trailer is in our driveway, attached to our vehicle and we are unloading or loading it, it is still a violation of the CC&R's and we would like this to be changed.

I have spent the last few afternoons talking to neighbors who are tired of being fined for simply moving their own belongings. It is clear that I am not the only one struggling to settle my family affairs while navigating these rigid rules.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only one frustrated by these rigid rules. It means so much to know that my neighbors understand the struggle of needing a simple tool to manage family matters without being penalized.

Residents of a community should be able to keep all types of well maintained vehicles or attachments on their personal property, as long as it is clean, decent, and not decorating non roadways such as yards.
If it's well kept, i don't see the problem. Plenty of other neigjhbrhoods allow trailers in the driveway, why can't we?
Exactly! If its well maintained and in your own driveway, it shouldn't be a problem but it is. If I even back my trailer into my driveway to unload stuff and they (the hoa) happen to drive by at that moment and see its in my driveway, its a violation. Unfortunately anonymous signers don't count towards the percentage of signatures we need to make this change.
This isn't for parking on the street, its for parking a utility trailer in your own driveway.
If it is in their backyard or side yard behind their fence, I think that is okay. But if you have numerous houses on the street doing this, the street becomes harder to navigate and causes blind spots and a dangerous situation for children, pets or people out walking
I would love to store my trailer in my front yard thanks
This would be a wonderful th8ng for some of us. I'm open to the change

If the streets can be full of cars bumper to bumper then there shouldn’t be no harm in parking a trailer in the driveway that you own.
