"Resident-Only" Parking at Partners Place
- A “resident-only” parking policy has been established at Partners Place to insure that adequate parking is provided to our tenants.
- Numbered decals will be issued to each tenant by their unit manager to insure that all leased occupants with vehicles will have either on-site or proximal parking.
- The individual or company that has leased and manages your apartment is responsible for providing each of their tenants one decal after you furnish a copy your license registration card/unit number/contact information.
- All vehicles parking in the Partners Place main lot must show a current “resident parking decal” on their back bumper.
- In the past, adequate parking was available to tenants with compact/regular size cars. Unfortunately, oversized vehicles (trucks, SUVs etc) do not easily fit into these spaces, forcing their owners to double-park or angle park, which severely limited the safe passage/parking of other vehicles in the lot. To correct this, several areas of the main lot have been redrawn in order to accommodate approximately ~35 over-sized vehicles. These spaces (marked by an “X”) are clustered in discrete areas but convenient to each of the main (A-D) buildings. Vehicles over 90" in width and/or over 195" in length are considered “Over Sized”. In the future, please make every effort to park within the newly drawn lines and pull completely into the parking space.
- A limited number of spaces (7) will be available on a “first come first serve” basis for Visitor Parking. These spaces are located in the small lot adjacent to the A building (facing Morreene Rd). A Visitor Pass is included with this letter. Simply make a copy when needed but each pass must list the visitor’s car model/license/date of issue and responsible party’s contact information. The Visitor Pass must be visible on the car’s dashboard and will expire 24 hr after issue.
- Any vehicle not showing a current resident decal on the back bumper or a Visitor Pass on their front dashboard risks the strong possibility of being towed or “wheel clamped” at the owner’s expense. If your car is double-parked or jutting out into the path of other drivers, you can also anticipate being towed. Establishing and enforcing this policy is needed if we are to insure that the leased residents have adequate and safe parking while living at Partners place.
- Please pass this information on to your unit manager to receive your decal and then display it on the back bumper...
- Establishing a “resident only” parking area is our sincere attempt to insure that leased tenants will be allotted a safe parking slot during their stay at Partners Place. The HOA Board and the property management company (Community Focus of North Carolina) anticipate and appreciate your cooperation as we continue to provide improvements to the Partners Place community.
