Task Force Recommendations re: Boat /RV Lot Regulations
During the December 3, 2020, Board meeting, staff informed the Board that fourteen of twenty-four members with vehicles in the Boat/Recreational Vehicle Lots, had not provided evidence of their registration certificates to staff despite being initially requested to do so in July 2020. The 2019 Maryland Code, Transportation, Title 13 - Vehicle Laws -- Certificates of Title and Registration of Vehicles, Subtitle 4 - Registration of Vehicles Part I - In General § 13-402. states that a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, and pole trailer driven on a highway shall be registered under this subtitle and if such a vehicle is not registered, a person may not park the unregistered motor vehicle on private property used by the public in general, including parking lots of shopping centers, condominiums, apartments, or town house developments. Staff also mentioned that there were a few instances in the past where members abandoned vehicles in the lots, and there were great difficulties in getting them removed.
The Board established a task force to draft regulations governing the storage of vehicles in GHI’s Boat/RV Lots. The members of the task force are Shobha Duncan, James Hsu, Bill Jones, Pat Holobaugh, and Juanita Beck; Christine Gyemfi is the staff liaison. The task force prepared draft regulations and also a sample Boat/RV Lot termination letter that staff may send to members who violate the Boat/RV Lot regulations.
