We have had questions/complaints about motor homes / campers / boats / recreational vehicles, etc. in the community. Parking rules are set forth in the Declarations and Rules of our Association. With the summer activity season upon us, we will highlight at least a few of the most frequent parking questions or issues.

Vehicles as described below include automobiles, trucks, campers, recreational vehicles, snow machines or other machinery.

(1) No vehicles may be parked in the street more than 24 hours at a time, or more than 48 hours total within a 7-day period.

(2) Street parking on all Discovery Park streets is limited to parking on one side only as designated by signage. 

(3) Vehicles parked on the ‘No Parking’ side of the street are subject to towing without notice and fines.

As to Single Family units, campers, boats, and so on,must be kept in a Unit’s garage. If they cannot fit into the garage (due to size), then they cannot be parked in the driveway either. EXCESS vehicles (that can fit in the garage) may be parked in the driveway. Clearly, this excludes parking of oversize (not fitting in the garage)vehicles in driveways except as described below:

The limited EXCEPTION is from May 1st through October 15th. During this limited time, campers, boats, and motor homes are permitted in driveways for periods of no more than two (2) consecutive days. However, if such vehicles do not fit in the driveway; then they are not permitted in the driveway. These vehicles are also not permitted to be parked in the street for more than (2) hours for loading and unloading purposes as regulated by Municipal Code, which is referenced by the Declarations and Rules of our Association.

It is understood that some may consider these parking restrictions an unnecessary inconvenience, but most people buy into an Association bound property precisely for the controls that assure the continued quality of their neighborhood. These parking restrictions are part of living in a community governed by a condominium owners’ association. All vehicle violations are $250 per incident. Fines are assessed directly to the Unit Owners account and are subject to late fees, collection fees, and legal fees if not paid in a timely fashion as specified in Article VII of the Rules.

For those who are interested, details about parking rules are available in the Declaration, Article IX, and in the Rules, Article VI. The Declaration and Rules are available on the Association’s website at www.DiscoveryPark-AK.com.
