VISITOR PARKING

AT MARKLAND WOODS CONDOMINIUMS

One of the first things you’ll notice about Markland Woods Condominiums is that we have multiple parking options available. Here are some fast facts for you, the most important fact first:

For 157 units on the property we have 327 parking spots.

Parking is assigned by unit number. When you purchase or rent a unit, the parking spots allocated to that unit will be listed in the paperwork, and in the copy of the Declaration you are provided.
There is open parking, carport parking, and garage parking available, but not for every unit. Some units have open parking spots only, or carport only, or some combination of garage, open, and carport spots.
The numbered parking spots are Limited Common Elements that are legally tied to specific units as part of the Declaration.

Of those 327 spots, 5 are designated as handicapped parking only.

33 spots are designated for visitors only.

Over the years, the Markland Woods Condominium Owners Association Board of Directors has tried numerous methods for trying to control the overuse of visitor parking by full-time residents whose unit has insufficient allocated spaces for the number of cars they own.

Remember, visitors and vendors need to be able to park here as well.

Below are the current Visitor Parking Rules, effective as of 1/23/2024.

A. No resident parking in visitor parking allowed, without prior approval by the board. (See exceptions below.)

Temporary use of visitor spaces by the Clubhouse allowed for use of exercise room, association meetings, pool or sauna use, rental functions, snow days, and mail pickup.
Temporary use of visitor spaces if a workman, rug cleaner, etc. needs your personal parking space to do their work.
Temporary use for loading and unloading.

B. Identification of residents vehicles.

All residents’ vehicles must display a vehicle owner decal provided by PGM in the corner of the windshield or rear window. Contact tgish@portgardnermgmt.com if you need a decal. (Side Note: Decals are assigned to units, not to specific vehicles. If you trade in your old car for a new car, take the decal out of the old car and put it in your new car. Notify Tom Gish, Jr. of the license plate number of your new car for the Association records.)
C. Guest parking in visitor.
Long-term guest parking (over 2 days) in visitor spaces must be approved by the board.
D. Enforcement.
Tracking is accomplished by vehicle plate number, not the space where the vehicle is parked.
Any resident who notices a visitor parking violator should notify the board and indicate the violator by identifying the parking space, the license plate number and a photo of the vehicle (if possible). Reports will be kept confidential by the board.
A notice warning of potential towing shall be placed on the violator’s vehicle front window by a board member or any person designated by the board.
Actual towing can only be authorized by a current board member, at the violator’s expense.

E. Residents with more cars than parking spaces.

Residents without sufficient parking places must park off property or be subject to their vehicles being towed as per the above listed rules.

These are security measures to protect your property and to provide all owners with equal access to visitor parking spaces.
