GUEST AND AFTER-HOURS PARKING
Guest Parking is for Guests ONLY. Resident parking is NOT ALLOWED in Guest Parking areas.
Parking Passes will ONLY be issued during office hours (8:00 am – 4:00 p Monday thru Friday) and must be obtained at the VTMH Community office (ONLY needed when guest will be parking overnight). Call me with details and I will drop the pass in your mail tube.
Handwritten notes left on the dash will no longer be acceptable.
• If there is room in your driveway for the guest to park their vehicle along with yours, they will not need a parking pass.
• If there is not room for an extra car in your driveway, or if they show up unexpectedly to stay overnight, and you have not obtained a Parking Pass, Visitor will need to park off-property:
o They can park along Santa Teresa in front of the “Y” or behind the park along Alan Street and walk into the park. (If you have the padlock code for the back gate, you can meet them there and let them in that way.)
o The other option is for YOU to park off-property, letting them park in your driveway.
• Vehicles parked in Guest Parking areas between midnight and 6:00 am without a proper Parking Pass WILL BE TOWED.
• PARKING ON VILLA TERESA WAY (IN FRONT OF HOMES) IS NOT ALLOWED: ALL COMMUNITY STREETS ARE FIRE LANES AND MUST BE KEPT CLEAR AT ALL TIMES. Violators are subject to be towed – 24/7.
HOMEOWNERS, NOTE: There will be NO EXEPTIONS to the above, so make sure to get the Parking Pass in advance to avoid your guest’s vehicle being towed at the vehicle owner’s expense.
Manager’s Corner – June 2025
• I hope all the Mom’s in the World had a great Mother’s Day, and I hope everyone had a Great Memorial Day weekend as well!!
• I want to wish all the dads out there a Happy Father’s Day. This is your day -- enjoy it; or, if you’re like me, celebrate it all week long - lol.
• Many of you have noticed the large boulders at the front of the clubhouse and lawn area as you come into the community. These were installed to stop – or at least slow down -- vehicles from driving onto the lawn causing damage to lights, sprinklers, and (possibly) running into a resident’s home, (which has happened in the past). We will be adding more boulders around the front of the clubhouse and lawn areas until the project is finished.
• I want to say a special Thank You to Gary and Shelley Frost for their work on the Community Garden. That was a lot of work, and it turned out beautiful. It is still a work in progress., so if any resident is interested in planting something in the garden talk to Gary or Shelley – or any residents’ club board member and they can give you some direction.
• The NEW KEY FOB system is being finished. The reason for the new system is one of the key fob readers went out. The manufacturer no longer carries replacement parts for that particular system so we have to install a new system. Until the new system is completed, anyone needing to access the laundry room or Jacuzzi will need a new (second) fob. The fob you already have will still work to access all other amenities until the system is completed. Please contact me at the office - or call me on my cell phoneand I will get one to you. Otherwise, when the new system is completed, you can just turn in your old key in exchange for the new one.
• PLEASE SLOW DOWN when driving in the Community. It has gotten to the point that a handful of residents are regularly driving too fast – and don’t heed the hints (and the hints -- and the pleas) that I REGULARLY send out to slow down. Not to call out anyone particularly, but if those residents don’t start slowing down - and don’t start stopping at the stop sign as you come into the community - I WILL start writing you up!
o Don’t take this personally if you, yourself, are not guilty. -- I can only write this stuff, I can’t force people to read it.
