Villa Parking

[FLSunshine]

In villa neighborhoods where the street dead ends, are the dead end roads specifically for the owner who lives nearest them or for overflow or guest parking?

[Calisport]

The roads in patio villa are open for anyone to park anywhere at any time according to Sumter County, I guess they would have to be operable vehicles though. Other homes like designer, you aren't allow to park on the street. I guess depending on village and circumstances. I called Sumter county and that is my source for patio villa parking. No restrictions. Designer homes - some friends say in their area of tamarind grove, culdesacs are off limits to parking on streets.

[retiredguy123]

In the courtyard villas, the deed restrictions state:

"No owner of a homesite shall park, store, or keep any vehicle except wholly within his driveway, garage or other non-visitor parking spaces."

Note that there are designated visitor spaces, and visitors are allowed to park on the courtyard villa streets, but the owners are not allowed to park anywhere off of their own property. The courtyard villa streets are not county roads.

The roads in patio villa are open for anyone to park anywhere at any time according to Sumter County, I guess they would have to be operable vehicles though. I have a end of the street patio villa and there are two spaces in front of my house. My neighbor and I are dreading the rental unit across the street and the junky looking cars that it could possible bring. Other homes like designer, you aren't allow to park on the street. I guess depending on village and circumstances.
Most if not all designers are on public streets so parking s allowed if not blocking traffic

Except across the street from the Fenney Putt and Play, where Wildwood is placing "No Parking" signs on the public streets, because the residents complained.

If it is important for you to know, I would suggest contacting the sheriff's department for a definitive answer. As you can tell, you already got 4 different answers in 4 posts on this forum.

Parking on the street in front of your house is allowed with designer homes. In fact, you can park your boat or rv on the street and TV can do nothing about it and the sheriffs will not either, because it's not against the law.

There is an ordinance against it in Wildwood so can't park them there.

I live in the Fruitland Park (Lake Co) portion of TV (Pine Hills). An overnight guest parked her car on the street in front of my designer house and in the morning we found a note from Community Watch saying parking on the street not allowed. Ever since then I tell guests to park in my driveway.

Unless you are in a villa, TV has no control over what is parked on the street. It is not their property.
I parked 2 cars and a jet ski on the street in front of my house for a week. Someone called com watch and they told them they could do nothing, not their property. So they called Sumter county, who again told them it is not against the law to park on the street. If the nosy idiot had just talked to me instead of complaining anonymously, he would have found that there was a perfectly good reason why nothing could be on my driveway and that is was a temporary situation. Now he's just stirred the pot and my other neighbors keep telling me I should park vehicles out there every day, just to be spiteful. I'm not going to because this guy is whacko and there's no telling what he would do to my vehicles.

Those areas should be left open for emergency vehicles. The deed restrictions for the villas clearly state that owners are to park their vehicles on their own property and visitors are to park in the designated areas.

We don’t live close to any dead-end streets and we only have 3 visitor spots so visitors just park in the street and some owners park their 2nd or 3rd car in the street. No big deal.

[retiredguy123]

In my opinion, The Villages should just do away with designated visitor parking spaces in the courtyard villa sections. Some inconsiderate owners will always ignore the rules and use these spaces for their own vehicles. Sometimes they will park a vehicle there for several months at a time.

like that stops them, some CYVs have no overflow parking which means nothing should be parked on street permanently. Now we can argue over permanently.

In most all districts no boats, RV’s or 3/4 ton trucks or and larger can be parked permanently even in driveway, now it you can get it in garage yes. In my area the limit 3 days for RV for loading and unloading. I don’t think boats fall in that category? But, I don’t remember?

We are allowed 3/4 ton trucks but that is max. I had my 1 ton here once when we moved down but have not brought it back.

[Garywt]

Correct but someone said no parking is allowed on other neighborhood streets and people are just correcting that.

[ithos]

It sounds like the OP is living in Patio Villa neighborhood. It is rare but sometimes renters will park their pickup trucks in the street for weeks on end. The major issue is that the streets are narrower and it makes it more difficult for the neighbors across the street to access their driveway. This applies to the end of the street which is extended past the loop.

Unless there is an ordinance that I don't know of, the only solution is to park your own vehicle in the spot. No one can complain since you are only obstructing your driveway. Of course then they will park on the street somewhere else and it will become someone else's problem.

Patio Villas should have a time restriction on parking but they do not.

What did they tell you when you called the office for your respective neighborhood? Let us know versus getting answers on this site!

[Brg1956]

The area at the end of the dead end streets in courtyard villas is NOT deeded to the owners of the property adjacent to the space. It is not their parking space for a second car.

3/4 ton trucks are fine. Anything larger MAY present an issue.

[Debbraham]

I live at an end villa…to back out of our driveway we need to actually back into that space to leave, otherwise we have to drive backwards down the street a couple villas length to get out to turn around. I think that’s why they left extra roadway in front of the end villa so they could back out into that area to get out.

Courtyard villas have the same situation as described by the OP. The OP didn't say they live in a patio villa.

This is in my Declaration of Restrictions.

ARTICLE IX. PARKING RESTRICTIONS
No Owner of a Homesite shall park, store, or keep any vehicle except wholly within his driveway or garage. No truck in excess of3/4 ton, camper, boat, -trailer, or aircraft, or any vehicle other than a private non-commercial vehicle may be parked in a parking space except a boat may be kept in the garage with the garage door closed. No Owner of a Homesite shall repair or restore any motor vehicle, boat, trailer, aircraft, or other vehicle on any portion of any Homesite, or on dedicated or reserved areas, except for emergency repairs, and then only to the extent necessary to enable movement thereat to a proper repair facility.


Question is how can it be enforced?

Who freakin cares. If it bothers you, shut the blinds. There’s a lot better things to do in TV than complain about where your neighbors are parked. Go to a square, to the theater or out to eat. I, for one, am not home long enough to care who is parked next to my house.

But I need to park my aircraft there, I don’t want to have to drive to an airport.

What is your freakin problem? If these posts bother you then don't read them.

As I stated before, on narrow streets it makes it more difficult for accessing the neighbors driveway especially at night. And quite frankly it is an eyesore when you have several homes do it. Much more than some lawn ornament or sign in a yard.

Just to be clear, I am not bothered about temporary parking or the occasional overnight guest. Usually it is long-term renters with 4x4s or three or more cars.

It can't. And, the provisions only apply to the owner of the homesite. So, it doesn't even apply to a long term renter.

You make a good point. So if someone wanted to park their vehicle long term, they can just park it anywhere in The Villages and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Is that right?

[txfan]

Though the original poster asked about villa-area parking, I appreciate hearing about parking restrictions in other areas of The Villages.

Not sure if the OP was talking about CY or Patio villas but they may have the same rules with regard to parking. My comments are in reference to Patio Villas.

Maybe parking restrictions are one of those rules that are never enforced since no one has posted otherwise.

[DonnaNi4os]

I live in a villa and there is visitor parking on the very last street. Those spaces have become the place for those with 2 cars to park theirs, leaving no where for visitors to park. We believed that the pool area was the place to allow visitors to park. Not so. There were two incidents where visitors were given notices stating that they couldn’t park there. These cars were not parked closest to the pool but on the distant side. They were told to call Mulberry Rec Center and informed that they should park visitor cars at Mulberry Recreation! We are over a mile from the center! Obviously not a helpful solution.

[Pginbr]

It’s a VERY big deal for emergency and service vehicle access. Just be considerate and park in your own driveway or garage, and have guests do the same or make other parking arrangements. This is TV, not the country or a home on acreage.
Those bragging about parking 3 cars on the street and jet skies/RV’s for weeks at a time says more about them than the neighbor that complained.

The best advice already given is calling community service, or the non emergency number for the police, or reading your deed restrictions.

That is most interesting. This is the restriction for my neighborhood>

Section 21. Temporary parking depicted on the Plato f the Subdivision, if any, is not for Owner's use but is for the use of Owner's invitees or guests.

[Lottoguy]

The Villages has a great record for planning things out. But, when it comes to the Fenney Putt & Play parking situation they really screwed up. They should have not built a home on that one corner lot. That could have easily held 15 parking spots for those people who drove their cars to enjoy this ammenity.

It was ONE week (as stated in the post) and there was a valid reason why nothing could be on my driveway during that time (as stated in the post).
Reading comprehension is your friend.

[ithos]

In villa neighborhoods where the street dead ends, are the dead end roads specifically for the owner who lives nearest them or for overflow or guest parking?

Based on the deed restrictions I would say neither. But if you are the last house and are not impeding access to traffic or another driveway, then who is going to register a complaint?

Enforcement is another issue altogether. Looks like no one can provide you with an example where unauthorized prolonged street parking has ever been resolved by contacting The Villages or a law enforcement agency.

If the problem persists I would print out a copy of your deed restrictions and highlight the appropriate sections. Then call

Community Standards
Phone: 352-751-3912
Fax: 352-751-6707
Email Deed Compliance

Then if you would be so kind, let us know if any action was taken.

[DAVES]

In the courtyard villas, the deed restrictions state:

"No owner of a homesite shall park, store, or keep any vehicle except wholly within his driveway, garage or other non-visitor parking spaces."

Note that there are designated visitor spaces, and visitors are allowed to park on the courtyard villa streets, but the owners are not allowed to park anywhere off of their own property. The courtyard villa streets are not county roads.

A repeating issue on so many threads. People who do not consider the rights of others. No matter what the thread is it is the same posters.

It’s not over. They could buy that corner home from the owner $$ and demolish it
and put 15 parking spots in there

Who determines "junky car" status? When is a yet-to-be restored car a valuable classic or an "eyesore? isn't it more like beauty - is in the eye of the beholder?
