EVALUATION GUIDELINES FOR:
GARAGES, VEHICLES & PARKING
Rule Adopted: February xx, 2003

ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE PHILOSOPHY:
Garages and driveways must be maintained for parking. They may not be enclosed or used for habitation.

Overnight, on-street parking will not be permitted unless all garage and driveway spaces are filled with daily-use automobiles.

Vehicles other than automobiles, vans, and pickup trucks may not be parked overnight on driveways.

The Architectural Committee will consider variances to allow marked emergency and other government vehicles to park on Springbrook streets as a deterrent to speed and crime.

.
SPECIFIC COMMITTEE RULES:

GARAGES:
As outlined in 3.15/3.15 garage areas may not be screened in or otherwise enclosed. They may not be used for habitation, nor may permanent improvements be made that prohibit the use of the garage for 2 automobiles. Garage areas, or portions thereof, may be used for temporary storage of personal belongings, so long as all vehicles associated with the residence can be parked in the garage or driveway.

ON-STREET PARKING:
Springbrook Restrictions require that homeowners maintain their garage areas for vehicle storage. They may not be enclosed, screened or otherwise used for habitation. Restrictions also prohibit overnight parking on residential streets. Thus, the Architectural Committee will not permit on-street parking unless both garage spaces are occupied by motor vehicles as well as all available locations in the resident’s driveway. If all of the above spaces are occupied by motor vehicles that are used on a daily basis, the Architectural Committee will consider providing a variance for parking of additional vehicles. This variance may be issued for a period no greater than 12 months and may be renewed at the discretion of the Architectural Committee.
The Architectural Committee will consider variances to allow marked emergency and other government vehicles to park on Springbrook streets as a deterrent to speed and crime.
All vehicles when parked on Springbrook streets shall face the proper direction as required by the City of Pflugerville.
Update 10/3/12 - When the CC&R's were drafted and submitted 10 plus years ago, a restriction covering on-street parking was included. However, Springbrook HOA does not actually have jurisdiction to enforce this restriction. We need a super majority of homeowners to vote in order to remove this restriction from the CC&R's, and have been unable to obtain the needed votes. The on-street parking restriction is not enforceable by Springbrook HOA. If you have a safety concern, please contact the City of Pflugerville Code Enforcement Department to resolve the issue.


UNSIGHTLY VEHICLES AND RECREATIONAL VEHICLES:
Parking of unsightly vehicles described in 3.13/3.13 and 3.14/3.14 such as motor homes, motorcycles, buses, campers, trailers, and boats in any location that can be seen from street level is specifically prohibited by the Springbrook Restrictions and will be strictly enforced.

Similarly, trucks, larger than pickup trucks, may not be parked in a location that can be seen from an adjacent property or the street.

Disabled vehicles and vehicles under repair are considered to be unsightly by the Architectural Committee and may not be parked in a location that can be seen from an adjacent property or the street.

REPAIRS:
Vehicle maintenance and repairs may not be done on residence driveways or on streets. The Architectural Committee will permit “same day” minor repairs.
