Parking Policy
PURPOSE OF THE POLICY: To ensure that all members have full and open access to their designated parking stalls, within the Co-op, at all times. To ensure that all fire lanes remain free of vehicles at all times.
Members are permitted to park in their designated parking stall(s) only.
- Parking is not permitted in designated fire lanes, by fire hydrants, in front of the office, garbage/recycling bins, or anywhere else displaying a Brittany Lane Co-operative or Strathcona County By-law; sanctioned ‘NO PARKING’ sign, or in any other area of Brittany Lane properties or grounds that has not been specified as a designated parking area.
The Board of Directors must be notified in writing, via the black box, if you or a guest in your unit requires use of a Visitor Parking stall for more than a 48-hour period, even if the vehicle using this stall leaves periodically during that time frame.
MORE VEHICLES DRIVEN BY HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS THAN DESIGNATED STALLS:
Any additional vehicles must be parked outside of the Co-op property.
WHEN AND HOW TO CONTACT STRATHCONA COUNTY BY-LAW:
If an unauthorized vehicle is parked in any stall not designated as a Visitor Stall, a Strathcona County By-law Officer may issue a violation ticket. Any member can report unauthorized vehicles to the By-law office at (780) 449-0170. The following information will be required when you call:
- license plate number
- make / model / colour
- date, time and location the vehicle was parked at the Co-op somewhere other than a designated visitor parking stall
In some cases a ticket may still be issued, even if the vehicle has been moved by the time a By-law Officer arrives at the Co-op.
PARKING LOT SNOW REMOVAL, ETC. – FINE FOR NON-COMPLIANCE
The Co-op will notify members in writing, giving a minimum of 48-hours notice whenever possible, that snow removal, gravel cleaning, etc., has been scheduled. On the date(s) and time(s) specified in the notice, members must make arrangements to remove all vehicles from all parking stalls. Members responsible for vehicles not removed during times specified, when 48-hours or more notice was given, will be subject to a $35 fine, that must be paid in full or payment arrangements made with the Finance Committee, within 7 days of a fine being assessed.
NON-DRIVEABLE VEHICLES, TRAILERS, ATVS, BOATS, ETC.
All vehicles parked in designated stalls within the Co-op must be registered, insured and driveable.
