Section 6: ECC/ARC/CPI Subject: Compliance Rant Msg# 884935

To minimize the negative visual impact and loss of property value caused by long term storage of unregistered and/or non-operative vehicles on Ocean Pines lots.
B. Authority. Paragraph 8(h) No stripped down, partially wrecked, or junk motor vehicle, or sizeable part thereof, shall be permitted to be parked on any street in the Section or Subdivision or on any lot. Paragraph 8(o) No vehicle shall be parked on any street in the Subdivision. One of the problems is that one of the main intents is to limit long term storage of unregistered vehicles but unlike other communities we have no language regarding "unregistered" vehicles in the DRs. A lot of the issue in the Pines are vehicles that are sitting in disrepair and unregistered for years. They often don't meet the "junk" or partially wrecked category but are an eyesore. We have one at 12 Brookton Lane. A Jeep with bad transmission sitting for years and CPI has had little success in having it removed. I just don't think it is as easy as some suggest. I also thought a couple of years ago OPA loosened up restrictions on unregistered vehicles because some with classic cars that looked OK but were not current with registration complained. I think you were also involved in the debates about CPI access to properties and looking under covers on vehicles. It seems even communities that have an unregistered vehicle law are not allowed to come on private property, lift up a car cover and check for registration. Makes enforcement difficult. We also used to have a CPI inspector on the forum a while back who would help explain these issues but I wonder if our GM put an end to that. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Marty, I think we were both on the Board when the following supplement was added to the ARC Guidelines: Section 1100.1 Vehicle Storage. A. Intent. To minimize the negative visual impact and loss of property value caused by long term storage of unregistered and/or non-operative vehicles on Ocean Pines lots. B. Authority. Paragraph 8(h) No stripped down, partially wrecked, or junk motor vehicle, or sizeable part thereof, shall be permitted to be parked on any street in the Section or Subdivision or on any lot. Paragraph 8(o) No vehicle shall be parked on any street in the Subdivision. C. Guidelines. 1. All vehicles must be parked on the residence driveway or paved parking area. 2. In the process of evaluating whether a motor vehicle is to be included in the "junk" category, conditions such as, but not limited to, flat tires, missing headlights, broken windows, the absence of current state registration and other on-site conditions, are to be considered. These are the regulations that the CPI should be using to determine whether action can be taken. I think you were also involved in the debates about CPI access to properties and looking under covers on vehicles. In any case, flat tires should be an obvious determination even if the vehicle is covered. Bill Z |
