2. Parking: The holidays bring many people together, and that means extra cars will need to be parked. When parking guests please make sure roads, sidewalks, neighboring driveways, and mailboxes are not blocked. Also, ensure cars are not parked on either side of the street or directly across from one another, this causes potential emergency hazards.

3. Overnight Guests: Please be sure to review the covenants and restrictions Article V Section 10: Vehicular Restrictions to determine what types of vehicles are allowed within the community. If guests are staying longer than a couple of days please make every effort to clean out your garage so that additional cars may be parked there as well as in your driveway. This will help keep streets clear and reduce possible traffic accidents.
