How strictly should parking rules be enforced?  Currently, our CC&R's ask residents to park only in the garage on on the concrete driveway slab. "Temporary" street parking is permitted if the vehicle is pulled over the curb at lease half way off the street.

(Note: The National Fire Code restricts parking on streets as narrow as ours to one side of the street.  To be in compliance, we could post "No Parking, Fire lane" signs along one side of each street.  But which side?  Half of the homeowners would be allowed to park on the street in front of their homes and the other half would not. Requiring vehicles on both sides of the street to pull at least half way off the street leaves the required fire access space while being fair to all homeowners.)

Parking rules? For the past 2 years a car is parked Monday - Friday sometimes Saturday 8:00-5:00 in front of ().  The car belongs to (), they have extended their driveway but still need street parking. It makes it difficult for garbage pickup and traffic.

Driveways are too small for trucks or vehicles and should be permitted to park along the side of the street.

Cars should be cited when not on their own property. We have issues with our neighbors, in terms of their visitors will park halfway on the street and halfway on our property.

The parking rules are tough to enforce as many residents have at least three vehicles. Some of the vehicles are parked across from the owners house and that causes a street congestion/narrowing. These people should find another way to park and not block the street view. This is apparent near the south pool entrance. I personally park my vehicle as high upon the from the street as possible so as to not obscure the roadway. My neighbor also does the same with their vehicle. My concern is not so much with the parking issue but with the speed issue as it seems that people are increasing their speed in the neighborhood. Speed humps would be a valuable asset to us.

Yes, I'd like to help [2]          Notify me, I'll try to stop by [3]         No thanks [8]
 

Is anything going to be done about garbage cans in front and side yards; left on driveway slabs; or left @ curbside for days after pickup. I realize holidays mess up pickup days

What's the status on the Neighborhood Watch program? (On hold. Not enough volunteers.)

What kind of help is needed for the entrance sign? Can that be listed on the website? (Yes)

Unfortunately, the value of our homes have been depreciated to an unbelievable low, and we have too many foreclosures in our development. It's important that we care about the  maintenance of our homes and property, pool areas, street cleanliness, etc. to enhance our community.

Please make fonts bigger, hard to read.

Keep working on neighborhood appearance. Neighborhood is declining.

Too much parking on the street and "in" yards. I've seen six cars all in a row at several spots in the neighborhood which happens when the two driveway spots are used and the homeowners then use the area beside the driveway to park another vehicle as do their next door neighbors. Other homeowners are parking randomly in their yards, sideways on at an angle. Unfortunately, being lax regarding the where and how many cars can be parked regularly at home has made for a really messy look in certain areas. And what about parking on the street all the time, even when there is room in his driveway?

Thanks for including the survey.

I have been a resident of the community for over 20 years and think that we have a good place to live. However my wife's concern is that traffic in the neighborhood has become fast and dangerous. The intersection of Albatross and Wood Owl has no stop sign and most people that I have observed slow down but do not stop as the make a right turn. Most are on a cell phone or just not paying attention. I believe that a speed hump is necessary as well as a stop sign at and near the intersection. What has to be done for this to happen?

We are new to this area, we used to live at countryside community off condor,and we missed it very much We have 2 boys and 2 girls who attend Degracia Elementry and do Chess club and tutoring, Our 5 year old does ballet We are members of The cotarro Vista Community Church, so we were looking for somewhere close and found our perfect house on blackbird dr.
