Parking

Parking of Vehicles

Each assignment of a parking space shall be evidenced by a written assignment executed by Declarant, or the Board, in favor of the applicable Residence.  The assignment shall be entered in a parking space registry maintained by the Association, but no assignment shall be recorded in any Public Records.  The right to use a parking space shall be appurtenant, and shall pass with the title, to the Residence to which it is originally assigned without the necessity of any reference in a deed of conveyance or other instrument.  Owners may exchange or otherwise assign to one another their rights to use their respective parking spaces, provided that there shall be one (1) parking space assigned to each Residence at all times.  In the event that the Declarant or Association designates parking spaces by painting numbers thereon, the Association shall maintain such numbers so as to be readable at all times.  The costs of such maintenance to paid for by appropriate Neighborhood Assessments levied against the Lots in the Neighborhood in which parking is assigned.  Nothing herein contained shall require Declarant to assign parking spaces.  The following Rules govern the parking of vehicles within Keys Gate:

1. Parking Decals and Passes.  All vehicles shall be parked in the specific Neighborhood where the resident lives or a guest is visiting.  Vehicles parked in a Neighborhood different from where the resident lives or a guest is visiting shall be considered parked illegally and subject to towing at the owner’s expense.  All resident and guest vehicles must have a currently dated and valid parking decal or pass in order to park in visitor parking spaces.  If there is no decal or pass then the vehicle shall be considered parked illegally and subject to towing at the owner’s expense.
2. Vehicles must be parked in garages, driveways, or within designated parking areas established by the Association.  No resident may park on the street.  Parking is prohibited where it will block mailboxes or driveways.  Parking is prohibited on grass and sidewalks, except as provided below.
3. With prior notification to on-site security hired by Management and/or the Board (“Security”), guest vehicles may be parked in the street for short periods of time during the day and evening to facilitate those attending private parties and social gatherings.  Vehicles so parked must not block neighboring driveways or restrict traffic flow.
4. Vehicles of guests may be permitted to park in the street for overnight periods with prior notice to and approval of Security, Management, or the Board, provided the vehicle does not block neighboring driveways or restrict traffic flow and a valid guest parking pass is displayed on the front windshield of the car.  This provision is designed for short visits by out-of-town guests and not as a method of handling a second or third vehicle on a daily basis.
5. For Keys Gate special events, Management may designate and assign certain roadways and areas as temporary parking areas.
6. There shall be no parking on driveways of Lots or Residences owned by the Declarant or on driveways of neighbors who are away for the season without their written permission.  In no event shall cars be parked where they will restrict visibility at intersections or impede the flow of emergency or service vehicles (i.e. police, fire, ambulances, mail delivery and garbage, etc.).
7. Parking across the driveway apron is not permitted.
