Now, therefore, the following rules and regulations were adopted at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors, held April 12, 2005.  They were approved by a unanimous vote and these regulations will supercede all prior parking policies.

REGISTRATION

1. All residents of The Gentry are required to register with Gentry Homeowners Assoc. all regularly parked vehicles and display a Gentry parking sticker on their vehicle (automobiles and motorcycles inclusive).  "Regularly" is construed in this document to mean parked overnight between 2 AM to 6 AM.  Also the car must be used or owned by the resident and registered in the state of Maryland (unless active military or a temporary resident as defined by Maryland Motor Vehicle Admin.).
2. Each unit will be entitled to up to TWO Resident parking stickers and ONE guest pass.  The guest pass has the owner's unit number on it.

ENFORCEMENT

The Gentry has entered into a contract with a local towing company to aid with the enforcement of parking regulations as explained below.

1. No vehicle is allowed to park overnight (2 to 6AM) without a parking permit or a guest pass.  Any vehicle without a proper pass will automatically be towed.
2. Vehicles parked in red line areas (this includes the pool road) or double-parked will be towed with no prior notification.
3. Residents to whom the numbered reserved space is assigned have the right to have an unauthorized vehicle removed from their space.  They may call the management company and give them the parking space number and description of the offending vehicle.
4. For other violations of parking rules, the management company has the authority to have the vehicle towed without prior notification.

All towing is done at the vehicle owner's risk and expense.

NOTE:  All residents are responsible to inform their guests and visitors that the community has an assigned parking space policy in effect.  Unless you are permitting your guest to park in your assigned space, you should direct them to park in ONLY THOSE SPACES THAT ARE UNNUMBERED.
