Parking Letter

Subject: Winter Parking/Plowing

Dear Lot Owner,

Winter parking has become a major issue for everyone at Lake Kachess. Without some form of cooperation from everyone, it is going to become a bigger problem each and every year.

The demand for winter parking has increased every year with additional houses being built and the use of longer trailers.

It should be understood that it is not the Community�s duty to provide parking during the winter months. The Covenants, which every homeowner should be familiar with, state that every lot owner is required to provide their own parking on their own lots. The Board realizes that this is not practical for all Homeowners once the snow is on the ground.

A Parking map is being provided with this mailing to detail areas designated for winter parking and they include:

Upper Parking Loop�Vehicles and trailers parked diagonally

Lower Parking Loop---Vehicles only

Lower Clubhouse Parking Area---Vehicles and Trailers

Parking Area South of Fire Station

Wilderness Lane�Parking along both sides of top section

The above detailed areas will be plowed for parking and whenever possible plowing will be done during the week, however, Mother Nature is not always predictable. In order that these areas can be plowed, parked vehicles must display a phone number so that the owner can be contacted to the move the vehicle(s) in a timely fashion. For this reason, it is best if vehicles and trailers remain hitched up and parked diagonally without wheel blocking that can damage the snow removal equipment.

No trailer should be parked in place for more than 72 continuous hours. Trailers that are parked in place, beyond that time limit and/or that do not have a posted contact number will be towed at the owner�s expense. Wheel blocking is also a condition that will lead to towing as a preventative maintenance issue.

Signage denoting directional parking and contact information requirements will be posted in the loop parking areas.

The last area of parking concern is Via Kachess Rd., which is under the jurisdiction of Kittitas County parking regulations. As the County now maintains and plows this road, parking is subject to posted conditions and is enforced by the Kittitas County Sheriff.

Please take the time to read and comprehend the intent of the parking rules. If you have any questions, you may contact any member of the Board of Directors either through the Community Web Site or by attending any of the published Board Meetings. With cooperation and consideration of others parking needs, there is ample room for all to enjoy the recreational potential of the winter months at Lake Kachess.

Thank You,

Kachess Community Board of Directors
