Vehicle Parking

Each townhome is allocated two (2) assigned parking spaces. It is acknowledged when Homeplace was developed and built, two (2) bedroom townhomes should have been awarded three (3) spaces, three (3) bedroom townhomes with four (4) spaces, and four (4) bedroom townhomes with five (5) spaces; however, that was not possible with the limited remaining real estate resources.

No boats, trailers, campers, motor homes, commercial (including employer badged), or farm vehicles of a Homeowner, resident (family member inclusive), or their guests, will be regularly parked on Homeplace property. The Board of Directors shall adopt appropriate rules for the temporary parking of these vehicles should the occasion arise.

Homeowners and residents (family member inclusive), or their guests, temporarily or permanently parked on the grass, concrete sidewalks, in part or in whole (inclusive of vehicle washing/cleaning), in designated No Parking areas, on any main Homeplace thoroughfare or areas which would cause partial, or complete, blocking of streets, or driveways, will result in being towed at the expense of the vehicle owner. In addition, any vehicle that is parked in a location where the vehicle “creates a non-existent marked parking space” will also result in being towed.

Homeowners and Residents, or their guests, parked in assigned spaces of others, without permission, are subject to vehicle towing under the direction of the assigned space of the resident the vehicle has been unexpectedly parked in, not the Association, management company, or Board of Directors.

Visitor Spaces

Visitor Spaces are provided on a low level of availability only to be utilized by Visitors. Homeowners and residents shall not utilize Visitor Spaces on a daily, or rotating basis, throughout the community. Assigned, Visitor, or Overflow parking spaces shall not be utilized for vehicle storage when the vehicle is not used on a regular basis or inoperable.

Any resident that does have a third vehicle must either:
--Park at the lower rear of Hearthwood Court, first, in any of the unmarked seven (7) Overflow Spaces that exist for the entire Homeplace community, or,
--Kindly work out with an immediate neighbor who uses one assigned parking space, or less, with their complete permission, to be able to park in their assigned parking space/s. Your neighbor is not obligated, nor should feel pressured, to say yes; however, if permission is given by the neighbor, any vehicle fluid leaks that mark/stain that may occur while parked in the assigned parking space of the neighbor will become the responsibility of whom the parking space is assigned to clean up and address the fluid leaks that have marked/stained the assigned parking space.
--Visitor and Overflow parking spaces will be monitored. Vehicles in theses spaces that do not appear to be in use, or inoperable, especially with expired license plate registrations, will be immediately subject to towing at the expense of the vehicle owner.

Additional Visitor Space Use Considerations

Should you choose to have your guests park in either, or both, assigned spaces it is perfectly acceptable for the resident to move their vehicles to any of the available Overflow Spaces first. Should all Overflow Spaces be in use then parking in a Visitor Space, only on the street that is lived on is acceptable; however, please immediately return your vehicle/s to your own assigned parking space/s as soon as your guests leave. Please do not move your vehicles to either the Overflow or Visitor Spaces on the street resided on no more than twelve (12) hours prior to guest arrivals as complaints have been received regarding the unnecessary utilization of these spaces many days in advance of guest arrival.

Should your guests arrive where all residents and guests subsequently depart collectively for a day, weekend, week, or any other extended duration of time, utilizing any vehicle/s of the resident, please do not have the vehicle/s of your guests remain in a Visitor Space/s and please have the guest vehicle/s parked in your assigned parking spaces while the collective group is not home so Visitor Spaces can be used by others that reside on your street.

Vehicle Towing

When a vehicle is identified to be potentially towed, the vehicle will be tagged where a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours and not exceeding a maximum of seventy-two (72) hours will be provided, and expected, to correct the parked vehicle infraction accurately.

First Responders

At any time when First Responders arrive on Homeplace property and a vehicle is not parked in a parking space, the Association, management company, nor the Board of Directors, will be held responsible of any potential damages that may occur due to the vehicle/s being in the way of First Responders.

Pets are subject to Guilford County leash laws and may not be allowed to run loose throughout the community, including cats. Pets are not to be tied or chained and unattended outside at anytime. It is the responsibility of all residents and guests for immediate clean up and removal of all pet solid waste from Homeplace property. Any resident or guest that is non-compliant with leash laws or fails to remove pet solid waste from Homeplace property is subject to be reported to Guilford County Animal Control. All fines that may be incurred from Animal Control will be the responsibility of the pet owner. The Pet Nuisance Ordinance can be reviewed in its entirety on the City of Greensboro web site .

Trash and Yard Waste pickup is weekly on Tuesdays. City of Greensboro regulations require that Trash cans and Yard Waste should not be placed in front of the townhome concrete sidewalk, parking lots, or streets, until after 7am, Monday, the day before pickup. Empty Trash cans must be returned to the rear of the townhome, not the side of the townhome, prior to 7am, Wednesday, the day after pickup. During a holiday week the days of placement and removal/storage move one day forward. The landscapers will not remove your Yard Waste brought to the concrete sidewalks, parking lots, or streets as they are not contracted to do so as they are aware the City of Greensboro provides free Yard Waste removal to Homeplace since August 2008.

More importantly, the City of Greensboro Ordinance under Section 25-13c and Section 25-13d regarding storage of Trash cans should not be viewable from the street. With Homeplace having three (3) separate streets this is a little more complex to achieve. The Homeplace consistent expectation of Trash can storage regarding “not viewable from the street” for:

Multi-level townhomes/buildings:
--Storage must be at the rear of the townhome at the rear deck.
--Where the rear deck floor is high enough off the ground storage must be underneath the rear deck.
--Should the townhome have a ground level privacy fence storage must be inside/behind the privacy fence.
--End units: Trash/Recycle cans must not be viewable from the left/right side exterior wall and rear townhome corner from any part of the concrete sidewalk and/or street resided on.
--Storage should not ever be on the grass; immediate pine needled townhome perimeter only.

One-level townhomes/buildings:
-Due to all rear decks not located at the rear of the townhome storage must not be viewable at the rear deck from any part of the concrete sidewalk and/or the street resided on.
--Where the rear deck floor is high enough off the ground storage must be underneath the rear deck.
--Should the townhome have a ground level privacy fence storage must be inside/behind the privacy fence.
--Storage should not ever be on the grass; immediate pine needled townhome perimeter only.

Failure to store Trash cans after day of scheduled pickup is not an Association, management company, nor Board of Directors issue as it is a City of Greensboro Ordinance infraction. This should be communicated by directly contacting the City of Greensboro at 336-373-CITY (2489). It is best to only report to the City of Greensboro Trash cans with obvious associated numerical townhome numbers as the assigned inscribed numerical numbers on the Trash cans no longer align with their August 2008 delivery and receipt to the specific townhome.

Landscaping requests regarding the Homeplace Common Area must be communicated to the management company. Should your concerns not be completely satisfied the Board of Directors then may be notified directly on the Contact tab above. Homeowners and Residents may not make direct personal requests or express concerns to the landscapers while they are on the property as they must adhere to their schedules in a timely manner to fulfill all of their contractual commitments other than their Homeplace responsibilities.

Homeowners and Residents may not put down mulch with personal plantings due to its nature for termite attraction and breeding. Personal plantings are limited to the immediate pine needle footprint around each townhome. No planting of flowers, bushes, shrubs, or trees should occur in the Common Area or they will be subject for removal without notice. The landscapers are not responsible for the care, maintenance, or replacement of personal plantings, and if not appropriately marked may be cut back in error. Always submit an Architectural Request before planting and a Maintenance Agreement may/will be required.

Landscapers will not remove Yard Waste brought to the street curb as this service is provided free by the City of Greensboro. Clarifications for Yard Waste collection expectations can be reviewed at the City Of Greensboro web site by clicking on the following link: Yard Waste

Rear wooden decks are the responsibility of the homeowner or resident, and their appearance should be kept neat, tidy, and appealing at all times.  Rear decks, including the area underneath, and on the ground adjacent to the entire rear deck structure, are not to be used for outside storage.  All items should be stored in the utility closet on the deck or inside the townhome.  Grills may be stored neatly on rear decks.  Trash and recycle containers are to be stored upright in an orderly fashion at the rear of the unit, not the side of the unit, with lids secured at all times. Where space is available, trash and recycle containers may be placed underneath decks.

The placement of an external antenna or satellite dish requires Architectural Committee or Board of Directors approval.  Before installation of any antenna or satellite dish homeowners and residents must follow Architectural Request procedures for placement of these devices.
