Vehicle Parking
Laguna Tres has narrow streets and some streets do not have cul-de-sacs. The number one complaint about weekenders and short-term renters is they bring in lots of cars and block streets, driveways, or impede traffic.
There is usually room for 3-4 cars on the driveway. Use care when backing to avoid hitting the mailboxes on either side of the street. You can back into Steve’s driveway but use care to never touch his grass!
When driveway parking is full, you may parallel park along the street in front of the house provided vehicles face the correct direction with the driver’s side tires the only part of the vehicle left on the street.
Left side front and back yard parking is permitted provided you assume all risks of injuries or damages to vehicles, our yard, fixed objects, and septic tanks. If it is muddy, please don’t park in these areas.
The left side back yard soil is soft and the neighbor’s tree has overhanging limbs. If the ground is wet or storms threaten, your vehicle could get mired in mud and at risk for falling tree limbs.
Note the left side front and back yard fixed object hazards: low brick wall, double gates, air conditioning unit, and the posts in place before the terrace edge. Be careful and have a lookout help you park safely.
Septic tanks are buried in the middle of the front yard. Do not drive vehicles on yard outside the areas bounded by rocks in the yard. The weight of vehicles or trailers will crush the septic tanks. See the map for reference.
Boat Trailer Parking
The HOA prohibits visible boats or boat trailers in Laguna Tres. Do not park a boat trailer in the driveway or along the street for more than a few minutes. This is a major no-no. Do not do it!
An average boat trailer may fit in the left side backyard behind the double gates. Use assistants to assure the gates stay open and you do not hit any persons, the gates, the air conditioner, or posts while entering or exiting.
It is highly recommended that trailers be disconnected and moved into place manually to minimize the odds of hitting a fixed object, driving over a septic tank, or driving in the neighbor’s yard.
Note: See the Boating section for another boat trailer parking option – Hunter Park.
