Resident Handbook Cont

To better accommodate our residents, we have implemented rules concerning parking. Your assigned parking is your carport, garage and your driveway. On street parking, if available is on a first come, first served basis in all Lewis- McChord Communities.

The street area directly in front of your home is not your exclusive parking area.

You may not use your parking area for storage of any kind.

Vehicles including motorcycles are not allowed to be parked on the grass, in front of dumpsters, or in any other area not appropriately marked for vehicle parking.

No one is allowed to park in a marked handicap space unless the legally required handicap insignia is displayed in the vehicle.

You may not park anywhere a No Parking Sign is installed.

You may not use any parking space to park a vehicle that is inoperable, leaks fluid onto the pavement, is unsightly, is a safety hazard, or has an expired license plate.

You may not use any parking space to perform vehicle maintenance or repair to include changing the oil.

If you violate any of these parking policies, your car may be towed without notice and at your expense. Visit your District Office for more information on parking spaces.

Landscaping services are currently included in your rent. On your lawn service day, you will need to ensure that your lawn is free of toys and personal belongings so the mowers can cut your grass. You can have one large non moveable item in your yard such as a swing set or trampoline. Please see your District Office for Outdoor Policies. The mowers will cut within two (2) feet of the item. You will be responsible to cut the grass under and the two (2) feet around the item. You may choose to maintain your own lawn if desired. Contact your Community Office for a sign to put in your window. If the home you live in has a fence either provided or installed by you, you are responsible for the maintenance of your yard. All flowerbeds adjacent to your home are your responsibility to maintain weed-free. Failure to maintain may result in fines.

If you wish to cook outdoors, Town Center residents please refer to your lease documents for limitations on grilling in your neighborhood.

Meriwether Landing/ Westcott Hill communities that have common BBQ/fire pit areas will need the cover to be replaced once the fire pit has completely cooled. All Residents are responsible to remove all trash/debris to be ready for the next resident to use.

For all other communities, all BBQ grills must be used at least 15 feet from your home to prevent damage to the siding. BBQ grills/fire pits are not to be used under overhangs, eaves in garages or carports.

Only commercially purchased above ground fire pits are allowed in family housing and must be used at least 15 feet from your home and within your own yard.

All communities need to properly store flammable materials, keep a fire extinguisher or water source readily available and supervise all fires by an adult until extinguished.

The burning of leaves, garbage and paper is strictly prohibited.
