No Street Parking. No Kidding.



Apparently not everyone is aware that parking on the streets here in St. Charles Place is not allowed.

Some residents have reported problems passing parked cars on streets. More than an inconvenience, it's also a safety hazard. We have to keep the roads clear for emergency vehicles. There is not enough room for a fire truck to pass a car parked on one of our streets.

If your cars don't fit in your driveway, you need to park in a designated space. I know for some people that's not convenient but it has to be done. You can get ticketed or towed.

When you bought your home, you got a big sheaf of documents that detailed all the DOs and DON'Ts of things like this. Buying the home meant agreeing to these rules. If you haven't read through them, you should. It's important because the community has to enforce them. If you have questions about them, contact Mary Fritzler at Leland Management. Her number is 727-451-7908. Or you can reach her by e-mail at mfritzler@lelandmanagement.com.

If you're a landlord renting out your property, make sure your renters know the rules so that they don't get nailed with a parking ticket or towing fee they didn't expect.
