CHAPTER IV:

STREET PARKING ENFORCEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

General.

The Remington Community Development District (the “District”) has adopted a policy restricting parking on District roads within the Community. The adoption of Resolution 2006-02 allows the District to place warning stickers on vehicles deemed illegally parked and to have those vehicles towed at the owner’s expense from the streets within the District.

The District has hired a Security Provider that has been charged with the enforcement of the parking restrictions adopted in Resolution 2006-02. The Security Provider will provide a roving patrol during those hours designated by the District to enforce all parking restrictions. This is to include: placing a warning sticker on the offending vehicle and logging all vehicle information, to include make, model, color, location and tag number. The Security provider is also allowed to have a vehicle towed at the owner’s expenses that are in violation of the District’s parking restrictions.

The security officers are to observe and report hazardous conditions such as missing traffic signs and street markings that need to be painted.

Security officers shall investigate and answer any complaints regarding contested parking citations, determining their validity and routing them appropriately.

Security officers should report any suspicious activity and/or personnel to the appropriate authorities.

Security officers will be responsible for assisting the recreation center and/or entry gate security guards when needed.

Security officers will be required to keep a log, which documents all illegally parked vehicles and will document all violations with a digital photograph.

Vehicles with out-of-state tags or out-of-county tags should be monitored. If vehicles bearing this type of tag prove to be that of an owner, a warning/citation should be issued. If the tag is that of a guest, no warning/citation will be issued, unless the guest is deemed to be a resident for purposes of these policies and procedures.

Street Parking Regulations.

Vehicles are not allowed to be parked in and/or on any street or road within the District. The following restrictions apply:

Under no circumstance shall vehicles which belong to or are driven by an

owner or resident of a house be permitted to park on the street at any time for more than 30 minutes.

No person shall be permitted to circumvent these regulations by moving vehicles in and out of the driveway to try to toll the passing of these time limitations.

Street parking for social gatherings at a residence shall be deemed excessive if it occurs more frequently than once a week.

Any vehicles that are allowed to be parked on the street must not be parked in such a way as to hinder the ability to pass on the street, hinder access to any driveway or to create a safety hazard.

Exceptions

Vehicles are not allowed to be parked in and/or on any street or road within the District and are generally prohibited except for the following:

Momentary parking such as a special event or gathering.

Momentary parking on the street if there is no room in the
driveway.

Street parking shall be limited to vehicles of guest(s) only. A guest shall be deemed a resident for purposes of these policies and procedures and therefore subject to tagging and towing if parked for: (i) more than six (6) consecutive days; or (ii) seven (7) or more days in any thirty (30) day period.

Vehicles of guest(s) will not be towed or tagged once identified as such; unless the guest is deemed to be a resident, in which event the vehicle is subject to tagging and towing.

In the event that the District learns or believes that a resident is circumventing the intent of this Rule by improperly identifying a vehicle as belonging to a guest when it is otherwise not permitted to park on the roadway under this Section 4.3(1), the Board of Supervisors, after providing notice and an opportunity to be heard at a public meeting, may suspend the right of the offending property owner or resident to utilize guest parking privileges for a period of time of up to one year.

From time to time, residents may have an unusual circumstance for which an additional exception to this Rule may be appropriate. An example of this would be a person on temporary leave from military service. A resident may request a temporary exception from the operation of this Rule by requesting such exception from the District Manager, which may, in its discretion, grant such exception for a specified time for good cause shown.

Any vehicle which is parked on the street under Section (2) above must obtain a guest pass from the District Manager and display it prominently on the vehicle dash at all times.

Any person violating this rule, when such violation results in a vehicle being towed, shall be subject to an administrative fee of $150 per towing incident to reimburse the District for its staff and third party expenses pertaining to the violation. The fee shall initially be due from the owner of the towed vehicle, but if not paid by such person shall be paid by the owner of any lot who the Board of Supervisors finds to be responsible for the violation.

Enforcement.
Parking restrictions shall be enforced in the following manner:
Security officers will patrol all the communities within the District. During this patrol the security officer will identify vehicles in violation of the Remington Parking Resolution 2006-02.

The security officer will then log all illegally parked vehicles with tag number, make, model, color and address of the vehicle.

Once this vehicle has been logged the security officer will then issue a warning/citation informing the owner of the vehicle that they are in violation of the District’s parking restrictions.

The owner then must comply by moving their vehicle from the
street.

In accordance with the District’s Resolution 2006-02, the security officer need only issue one warning/citation before having the vehicle towed.

Once the security officer has issued all the proper warnings/citations and logged the appropriate vehicle information the security officer then will call the towing agent for the District.

The security officer will then meet the towing company at the address of the illegally parked vehicle to ensure that the proper vehicle is being towed.

The security officer will then fax this information to the District office at
407-839-1526.

Additional Means of Enforcement for Repeat Offenders.

“Repeat Offender” shall mean the owner of a vehicle which has:

been towed for violation of this rule within the previous 12 months; or
received two or more warning notices within the previous 12 months, whether or not it has been towed

The District, or its designee, shall keep a list of Repeat Offenders based upon information collected in the violation logs kept by the security officers. The District, or its designee, shall provide the Repeat Offender list to a towing contractor (the “Tow Company”) and authorize the Tow Company to make routine patrols within the District.

A Repeat Offender forfeits his right to receive a further warning notice prior to being towed. A Repeat Offender also forfeits his right to have the vehicle parked in the street for any period of time whatsoever under any exceptions that may otherwise  have applied. The Repeat Offender is subject to having his vehicle towed at any time it is parked in the street.

Once a Repeat Offender has been identified, he will be considered a Repeat Offender for a period of 12 months from the date that the District Manager designates him as a Repeat Offender. In the event that an additional violation occurs during that 12-month period, the calculation of the 12-month Repeat Offender status shall begin again on the date of such violation. If no additional violations occur during the immediate 12-month period following the Repeat Offender being designated as a Repeat Offender by the District Manager, then the owner of a vehicle shall be entitled to receive notice from the District, or its designee, prior to being towed for violation of this rule.

Effective Date

This Chapter was adopted and went into effect on November 28, 2006. Amendments made via Resolutions 2013-05, 2017-03 and 2019-03.
