ENCHANTED HILLS
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
Plaintiff
v
FRANK AND AMY OROZCO
Defendant
District Court 09-3-04
CV-0642-2010
SUMMARY OF FACTS
Defendants are homeowners in the Enchanted Hills development, a planned
community with covenants and restrictions of use attached to the deed of the property.
The operations of the development, including enforcement of restrictions, are vested in
Plaintiff. Enforcement is sought of Article II, Section 2, subsection (o) of the
Declaration for overnight parking on the street of a trailer. Specifically, it was a trailer
used in commercial tile work applications by Defendants.
In August 2008, the trailer was viewed beyond the business day parked outside
Defendants' residence. This continued through September 2008. Plaintiff sent a letter
to Defendants requesting compliance and when it did not occur the township was
contacted in an attempt to bring about compliance. Defendants eventually ended up
storing the trailer elsewhere at a cost of $600.00 per month.
In August 2009, the same trailer was back overnight through October 2009.
Defendant asserts that it was not there overnight and acknowledges that it had been
there approximately three weeks in 2008. Plaintiff sent notice of violation for the trailer
on October 19, 2009 and seeks enforcement for three days, October 25th-27th, until it
was removed.
DISCUSSION
The burden in every civil case in on a plaintiff to show that a defendant has
breached an owed duty that has resulted in measurable damages. The duty in this
case is found in the covenants and restrictions, which are notoriously imperfect making
enforcement difficult. True in this case is that the covenants and restrictions lack
guidance and procedure to make the enforcement efficient. However, the covenants
are specific in parking and violation penalties are provided for in the reasonable fines
and late fees (subsection bb). The covenants may be unenforceable in other areas but
not in the area of overnight parking of non-passenger vehicles.
Defendants' reliance and protest over the minor nature of the violation is
misplaced. This is a civil suit and Plaintiff is not bound to the three days requested in
the suit. Defendant acknowledges 21 days of violation in 2008, which is a $420.00
penalty but Plaintiff is only asking for three days in October 2009. It was Defendants
choice to park at the residence at a $20.00 per day fee. A choice that will be enforced
albeit for only three days and late fees.
Judgment is in favor of Plaintiff in the amount of $125.54 together with the cost
of this action. All parties have been previously advised of their appeal rights and the
original exhibits have been returned to the presenting party.
