Parking Permits.

All vehicles parked on common area parking spaces must display a valid Mercer Park Association parking permit. Each Unit has been issued two (2) parking permits by the Association. Parking permits must be displayed in a manner that allows the permit number to be clearly visible through the vehicle's front windshield. Vehicles parked in a common area parking space without a valid parking permit may be towed immediately without warning. Please make sure to give your guests parking permits and ensure that the parking permits are validly displayed in any vehicle parked in a common area parking space.

Parking Spots.

Parking is confined to designated areas only. Owners are allowed to use a maximum of two common area parking spaces, in addition to the garage attached to their Unit (if any) and reserved parking spaces assigned for the exclusive use of a particular Unit. There are no assigned parking spaces except for the parking spaces specifically reserved for the exclusive use of a Unit. Vehicle parking in common area parking spaces is on a first come, first served basis. Due to the limited number of parking spaces in the condominium, Owners are encouraged to use their garages and reserved/assigned parking spaces to park their vehicles. Under no circumstance are Owners, residents, or their guests and invitees permitted to park in front of their garage or the common driveways in front of a Unit, except for temporary loading or unloading as provided in Section IV.C below.

Loading/Unloading.

At no time should any person park in such a manner that blocks, impedes, or interferes with the flow of traffic through the parking lot. Violating vehicles may be towed immediately. Vehicles may park in front of their Units temporarily for loading or unloading for no longer than fifteen (15) minutes, provided that their vehicle is not obstructing, blocking, or interfering with the flow of traffic.

Guest Parking.

Guests may park in designated parking areas within the condominium only if the resident whom the guest is visiting is not using more than the maximum two (2) common area parking spaces and the guest's vehicle has a properly displayed Mercer Park Association parking permit. Owners are responsible for ensuring compliance with these parking rules by their guests and/or any person renting or occupying such Owner's Unit and shall provide a copy of this Section IV of the House Rules to renters and/or guests prior to their use of a parking space in the condominium. By using the Association's common area parking spaces, each Owner, resident, and their guests and invitees are deemed to understand and agree to abide by all parking rules.

Street Parking.

Additional parking is available along 118th Ave. S.E. Be aware it is a city parking violation for any parked vehicle to have any part of the tire touching the paved surface along 118th. Please consult all city parking regulations. The Association does not regulate or enforce parking on public streets.

Lost Permit.

If, for any reason, an Owner needs a replacement parking permit, the Association will assess a replacement fee of $75.00 for each replacement parking permit issued. Requests for parking permits shall be made to the Association's Manager.

Vehicle Repairs.

Major vehicle repairs are not permitted on condominium property. Minor vehicle repairs are allowed provided they are completed on the day work commenced.

Leaks.

Vehicle owners are responsible for maintaining their vehicles in a manner that does not result in any motor oil, grease, gas, or other fluids leaking or spilling upon the common area drives or parking spaces. Unit Owners are responsible for all costs incurred by the Association for repairing damage to the common areas and/or for the cleanup of any vehicle fluids which have leaked from such Owner's vehicle, or from the vehicle of a tenant or resident of such Owner's Unit, or from the vehicle of any of their guests or invitees.

Security.

The Association is not responsible for items lost or stolen from vehicles. Owners are responsible for the security of their vehicles and their personal belongings in those vehicles.

Inoperable Vehicles.

Vehicles that are not capable of being legally operated on a public street are prohibited from being parked, stored, or kept in any parking space (except a fully enclosed garage). Vehicles with flat tires are considered inoperable vehicles and may only be parked, stored, or kept in a parking space (except for a fully enclosed garage) for a maximum of twenty-four hours to allow time to repair or replace the flat tire. Improperly licensed vehicles, including vehicles without valid license plates or current vehicle registration tabs, are not permitted to be parked, stored, or kept in any parking space (except a fully enclosed garage). The Board shall require removal of any inoperative, improperly licensed, or unsightly vehicle, and any other equipment or item improperly stored in parking spaces. If the same is not removed after notice of the violation from the Association to the Unit Owner and resident (if applicable), the Board shall cause the vehicle to be removed from the condominium at the expense of the Unit Owner. The violation notice shall state a date by which the violation must be resolved, or the vehicle will be removed from the condominium property. The violation notice shall allow for an opportunity to be heard for the Owner or resident to contest the violation. For purposes of this paragraph J, the date for compliance stated in a violation notice shall not be less than seven (7) calendar days from the date the notice is given.

Storage.

Common area parking spaces may not be used for long-term vehicle storage. Any vehicle which has not been moved from a parking space (except a fully enclosed garage) for more than 45 consecutive days is subject to violation fines. The Board shall require the removal of any vehicle parked for more than 45 consecutive days upon written notice to the Unit Owner and resident (if applicable). The violation notice shall state a date by which the violation must be resolved, or the vehicle will be removed from the condominium property, and it shall allow for an opportunity to be heard for the Owner or resident to contest the violation. For purposes of this paragraph K only, the date for compliance stated in a violation notice shall not be less than seven (7) calendar days from the date the notice is given.

Recreational Vehicles.

Trailers, boats, motor homes, fifth wheels, jet-skis, watercraft, canoes, kayaks, ATVs, snowmobiles, and other recreational vehicles are prohibited from being parked, stored, or kept anywhere on the condominium property (except fully enclosed garages). Multi-purpose street legal vehicles including, but not limited to, vans, campers, or vehicles with collapsable rooftop tents may only be kept onsite when also used for ordinary personal transportation, commuting, errands, or work. No vehicle may exceed 21 feet in length or the width of the space in use. The Board shall require the removal of Recreational Vehicles parked in violation of these Rules by written notice to the Unit Owner and resident (if applicable). The violation notice shall state a date by which the violation must be resolved, or the Recreational Vehicle will be removed from condominium property. The violation notice shall allow for an opportunity to be heard for the Owner or resident to contest the violation. For purposes of this paragraph L, the date for compliance stated in a violation notice shall not be less than seven (7) calendar days from the date the notice is given.

Handicap Parking.

Any vehicle parked in a designated handicapped space must have a valid handicapped parking permit or placard displayed in a manner that allows it to be visible through the front of the windshield. Vehicles without a valid handicapped parking permit will be fined $250.00 (assessed to the Unit Owner's account). The rules for inoperable vehicles (see J above) still apply to handicapped spaces.
