Parking Policies
Our covenants stipulate garages and carports are the primary sites for vehicle parking by residents as there are only 48 on-street parking spaces in the community.
Parking is not permitted along streets in non-indented curb areas, in marked "No Parking" areas, or in streets/driveway areas marked "Emergency Vehicle Easement' or "No Parking Fire Lane". Vehicles parked in approaches to garages/carports must not extend on to the Emergency Vehicle Easement, i.e., the blacktop portion of the road surface.
No mobile home, trailer, boat and trailer, or trucks larger than three-quarter ton are to be parked within the community.
Vehicles are not to undergo mechanical maintenance outside garages or carports.
Abandoned, disabled, inoperable, and unlicensed vehicles, and those not registered by a state or OTVOA, are not permitted within our community. These will be removed at the owner's or driver's expense and liability.
Vehicles in violation of OTVOA policies will receive a warning notice from a member of the Board of Directors or the Community Safety Committee. OTVOA warning notices are pre-printed, carbon copy forms identifying how your vehicle is in violation.
Vehicles parked in a Fire Lane or Emergency Vehicle Easement will be towed immediately, without notice or warning as the Association is held responsible by Alexandria authorities.
The following infractions can result in your vehicle being towed:
- Vehicle parked without displaying an OTV resident decal or guest parking pass.
- Vehicle parked so as to block access to streets, alleys, or fire hydrants.
- Vehicle parked in such a manner as to impede traffic and/or constitute a hazard.
- Vehicle in violation of OTVOA policies if the violation is not corrected in a reasonable time after the owner has been contacted.
- Vehicle displaying an OTVOA decal or OTVOA guest parking pass and parked in the same location without being moved in excess of two weeks. If you anticipate having to park your vehicle on the street for an extended period of time, please advise a member of the Board of Directors or the Community Safety Committee.
- Vehicles that are abandoned, disabled, inoperable, unlicensed, or unregistered and those that are in unsightly condition or appearance.
Vehicles (other than those parked in a Fire Lane or Emergency Vehicles Easement) will not be considered for towing until a reasonable effort has been made by the Community Safety Committee or the Board of Directors to contact the owner, if an OTV resident, or the sponsor of the vehicle if it belongs to an OTV guest.
Vehicles will not be towed without the expressed approval of a member of the Board of Directors. The Community Safety Committee will arrange for the towing. The OTVOA towing contractor is:
Henry's Towing at 703 698-8900.
