Neighbor-to-Neighbor:


Being a good neighbor has a lot to do with having consideration for others.
The following is intended to be helpful, educational information for all of us:

Parking on the Streets in the Sanctuary
Parking on the streets can be a traffic safety hazard within our community. It is a deterrent to the expedient passage of emergency medical and fire-fighting equipment. Habitual parking on the streets by Sanctuary residents also detracts from the beauty, appearance, and property value for your home and mine.

Please be advised that parking on the streets is prohibited by the Covenants of Caldwell Sanctuary Owners Association, Inc. specifically by Section 4, Architectural Review Committee Standards.

Parking on the streets is also prohibited by the City of Hoover Municipal Code:
Sec. 9-104. Designated areas.
It shall be unlawful for any person to park any vehicle:

(1) Upon any portion of any paved roadway in the city having a width of twenty-four (24) feet or less. (Note: All streets in the Sanctuary are less than 24 foot wide).

(4) In the space between the pavement and the property line on any paved roadway or
street within the city. (Concrete valley gutter, grass median, and concrete sidewalk is included.)
Sec. 9-121. Parking time limits.
No motor vehicle, trailer or semitrailer, as defined in Code of Ala. 1975, section 32-1-1.1, may
be parked or left standing upon any public way in the city or its police jurisdiction for a continuous
uninterrupted period of twelve (12) hours.

No motor vehicle, tractor, trailer or semitrailer with an overall length of fourteen (14) feet or more shall be parked or left standing upon any public street or way in any residential zoned area in the city or its police jurisdiction for a continuous uninterrupted period of more than two (2) hours.

Violations of the City Code may be enforced by the Police Department by towing to and impounding in garages designated by the City.
Our covenants require garages for all homes with the intent that all vehicles be parked inside the garages. Residents are encouraged to park vehicles inside the garages instead of on the streets.
