7.1 PARKING
Parking within the family housing areas is often limited. The only reserved parking for Tenants is inside the garage and the driveway. Tenants are highly encouraged to use their garage for vehicle parking. Tenants should be reasonable and considerate, and talk to their neighbors when problems occur over parking matters. Tenant parking shall not block mailboxes, fire hydrants, driveways, or dumpsters.
7.1.1 NO PARKING AREAS. Tenants may not park in the following areas: fire lanes, within 15 feet of a crosswalk or fire hydrant, on sidewalks, cement patios, grass or landscaped areas, within 10 feet of any building, structure or mail box, except in designated parking spaces.
7.1.2 OVERFLOW PARKING AREA. Overflow parking areas are for Tenants, and their guest’s vehicles which are operated and frequently used. They are not for long term parking or storage of seasonal vehicles. Overflow parking areas may be used by AMH for snow storage during winter months. AMH is not responsible for vehicles which may become blocked in by snow storage.
7.1.3 TDY/LONG TERM PARKING. Tenants TDY or on vacation must park their vehicles in their garage and driveway. Parking for longer than 48 hours in any overflow parking area, or on the street is prohibited. Vehicles left for longer than 48 hours may be considered abandoned and towed at Tenant expense.
7.2 ABANDONED/NON-OPERATIONAL VEHICLES.
Any vehicle partially dismantled, non-operational, wrecked, junked, or in a derelict condition parked on a residential street or parking lot is subject to impoundment at the owner’s expense, including towing and storage fees. Non-operational vehicles, trailers, ATV’s, snow machines, vehicles awaiting parts, vehicles with expired licenses, or vehicles whose owners do not want to operate them, may NOT be stored within AMH communities.
7.3 PARKING DURING SNOW REMOVAL
Parking on residential streets during snow removal is highly discouraged and extremely dangerous. Vehicles parked in active snow removal areas may be towed at the owner’s expense. AMH reserves the right to use overflow parking areas as snow storage areas. Vehicles are subject to towing if they interfere with snow storage or removal.
7.4 UNATTENDED VEHICLES
Unattended running vehicles are not allowed in AMH housing areas. Except during winter months for the purpose of warming up the engine, vehicles may be left running for a maximum of 10 minutes provided they are under constant observation by the operator. Vehicles may NEVER be left running while inside the garage, regardless of whether the garage door is open or not. Vehicles may not be left unattended on jacks, regardless of the duration of time.
7.5 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE.
Performing oil or transmission fluid changes, major maintenance such as removal/disassembly of the transmission, rear end, motor, body repair, repair work, and work which renders the vehicle inoperable for 24 hours or longer is prohibited within AMH housing driveways and parking areas. Tenants should consider utilizing the JBER Auto Hobby shop on JBER-R. Minor repairs such as: changing tires, fan belts, wheel cylinder, and motor tune-ups are allowed provided the work performed can be completed within 24 hours.
7.6 ENGINE BLOCK HEATERS
Vehicle engine block heaters are only to be plugged in when exterior temperatures reach 20 degrees or below.
