Ode to the Overhead
Anonymous
Music, footsteps, amour in the night
Are heard by your neighbors who otherwise might
Choose not the disturbance, if given the choice.
So please turn down the music and lower your voice.
The walls are thin and the floors are too,
Below can be heard every footstep and shoe.
But the sounds travel not only down through the floor
But across to the people living next door.
So, please consider with seriousness the point of this light-hearted verse,
Which applies not only to floor number three, But also to the second and first.

Parking Enforcement
 

Notice: The Association has stepped-up the enforcement level of the parking rules. Neither Management nor the Board enjoys the towing aspect of enforcement. Vehicles not parked in compliance with the parking rules are subject to immediate tow. How much does a tow cost an owner of a vehicle? The minimum cost is a whopping $504.00. Don't let your wallet be hit with a large towing bill.…follow the rules! We thought we'd take this opportunity to clarify the rules to help ensure your vehicle doesn't get towed.

1. Residents are allowed three (3) parking stickers per unit. Each resident vehicle must display a parking sticker. If you have more than three (3) vehicles, the additional vehicles can enter the community with a visitor pass. Any vehicle parked within the community without a properly displayed, valid Crown Colony sticker or visitor pass is subject to immediate tow without warning. Resident’s vehicles without a sticker must enter by the Visitor’s Lane.

2. How embarrassing would it be to have your visitor's vehicle towed? You can prevent this embarrassment by informing your visitors of the parking rules prior to their visits. Here's what they need to know: Each visitor will receive a visitor pass as they enter the community, the pass must be displayed face-up on the left side of the dashboard and each pass is good for 72 hours. Your visitor can only park in your deeded space or a space labeled with a "V" and a number.

3. What's the time limit for the visitor spaces? The visitor spaces, unless marked otherwise, are limited to 72 hour parking. Once a vehicle has been parked in a visitor space for 72 hours, the vehicle (or any other vehicle from the same household) cannot be parked in that space until another 72 hours has passed. Once you park in a 72 hour space and you leave it, you may not return to that space until the initial 72 hour period has expired. These same rules apply to the 24 hour spaces.

If you don't have a valid parking sticker, bring your current registration to the Association Office and get one immediately. We strongly urge you to read and follow the parking rules. The complete Parking Rules are in the Rules and Regulations Booklet available in the Association Office or at http://crowncolonyhoa.com.
 

Resident Passes
 

Beginning in September, any vehicle, operated by a Crown Colony resident and lacking a valid parking sticker, entering the community must:

1) Enter via the Visitor’s Lane,

2) Identify themselves as a resident,

3) Tell the gate guard their address,

4) Be given a "Resident’s Pass" and

5) Properly display the pass.

Failure to comply with the above, will get you towed or asked to appear before the Grievance Committee and possibly get fined. A Resident’s Pass is valid for only 72 hours, please carefully read the front and back of the pass.
