I posted the question a couple of times and finally did get an answer from the authority. I was concerned about parking on the street but was concerned about the residental areas and not the main street with golf cart lanes. The response I got was that there would not any citations issued by community watch or the police. I can post my emails if you wish. The only concern was that cars with boat trailers or large trucks could not park on the street but cars were ok.

email reply:

Mr. Anderson,Good Morning.Parking is actually not a District Issue - unless it is a large truck.The parking, on County and City roads, is ruled and enforced by lawenforcement. I am not sure which county/city you are in but basicallythere has not been a problem with street parking (at least there has notbeen in the past with law enforcement) unless they consider it to beobstructive to the normal flow of traffic. Of course, this is up totheir interpretation. I wish I could help you further. Let me know if you need anything further.Janet : Tutt, JanetSubject: Hi JanetI posted a question concerning rules and regulations re: parking on the street. I did get several replies but many of them conflicting. When I posted for a second time asking who to contact to get a definitiveanswer someone gave your address and said that you know everything so that Ishould contact you. I am a renter who lives on a corner without much street frontage but probably enough room if I overlap my driveway a bit. Can I do that? Whenam I allowed to park my car on the street and can I park it anywhere itdoes not impede emergency vehicles or must it be in front of my lot. I see several cars parked all day on the street facing both directions andthen moved into the driveway at night. My neighbour says that I cannot parkon the street if my driveway is empty. Please can you give me somedirection as to the rules etc. Thanks for your help.doug

2nd email

Good Afternoon,Community Watch would not give you a "citation"...if they felt it wasimpeding traffic, they would talk to the owner about moving it to allowvehicles to get through. If they could not find the owner or the ownerwas not cooperative and it was still causing traffic problems, CommunityWatch would contact law enforcement and advise them. There is nothingin your deed restrictions that addresses vacant driveways. The DeedRestrictions address trucks over 3/4 ton, boats and recreationalvehicles that can not be stored or remain on any lot or street. I hope this answers your questions. Janet

Hope this helps
