Vehicle Towing
Mike – Do we need to post a company towing sign
Nick (TMG) – We need to notify the community, then post notice of who is the towing company. We would need to do this.
Dave – The section Alternatively … we can post a notice 72hrs in advance.
Indicates that doing this we could be impacting non residences as they are not aware of the location issues.
Nick (TMG) – is stating that we can tow without tow signs, but we could have legal challenges.
Lori brought up a situation of a Mecrury Mountaineer parked on the street that has not moved, it is on a public street and on the compliance report.
As it is a public street and Washington County should be involved. TMG should refer home owners to contact Washington County to report abandon vehicles when they are on public streets.
The Board has decided not to pursue any changes in Towing Policy as it has not be evident that this is a problem on the few private streets we have. The CCR’s address this and there is no parking signs already posted.
Arbor Homes / West Hills Signs
Nick is still researching for a contract, West Hills can not locate but is also researching. It is know that there was an 18mo contract to allow the placement of the Arbor Homes Sign for a fee, but it is unknown of the start and end date.
Cathy – believes and the board agrees that since no contract can be found that it should be removed. Some home owners are concerned that it can detract from our home property sales.
Nick (TMG) will follow up with West Hills and tell them the sign should be removed.
