Parking 

The speed limit in our community is 15 MPH

​

We have many residents who walk and play in our streets. The Speed Limit is there to make sure this is a safe place for us, our children, and our leashed pets to exercise and enjoy our beautiful community. 

​

​

This is our Parking Policy, as stated in CCHOA Rules & Regulations

If your vehicle has been towed, please contact:

Jim's Wrecker Service 
5906 Walden Dr.

​

Chips Crossing is a Private Community. The streets and Common Grounds are considered Private Property, owned by the Homeowner’s Association. The terms and definitions herein are immutable and non-negotiable, and are defined by majority affirmative vote from CCHOA Board of Directors. 

​

​

No boats or trailers of any kind, or recreational vehicles are allowed to be parked in the community.

Violation of these Rules may result in vehicle being towed at owner’s expense.

​

NO STREET PARKING:

​

Our streets are not wide enough to facilitate the safe passage of Ambulance, Police and Fire vehicles while street-parked vehicles are present. Any blockage could result in public services refusing service to our residents. For our collective health and safety we are required and obligated to enforce NO PARKING in the streets. 

TEMPORARY exceptions exist up to 30 minutes for loading, i.e., deliveries for moving vans and/or official vehicles. 

TOWING:

​

CCHOA Board will attempt to make one contact for vehicles parked in the street. If there is no response, or we are unable to find the owner, it will be towed. If a vehicle remains parked and unmoved in a Guest or Pool parking spot for a period of 3 days or longer, it may be towed. Please contact the CCHOA Board to request a provisional exception, which may be approved depending on circumstances.

If your vehicle has been towed, check our website at https://chipscrossing.com or the signs at our mail house or pool area for information to contact the wrecker service. Our wrecker service WILL be checking tags on vehicles that are being towed from our community streets and parking. If the tags do not match the vehicle, or the tags report back as stolen, our wrecker company WILL forward the situation on to Knox County Sheriff’s Office.

COMMERICAL VEHICLES:

​

Commercial Vehicles are prohibited in Chips Crossing. These vehicles do not easily fit into driveways, guest parking, and can damage our grounds and streets. We define any vehicle Class 2b Heavy Duty or higher as Commercial. To be direct, if it has more than 4 tires and also weighs more than 8,500 lbs, it’s not allowed. It will be towed at the owner’s expense. Any damages caused by the vehicle being parked or during the course of removal will be applied to the homeowner’s account with CCHOA. Any unpaid fees will result in a lien being placed on that property after 45 days.

GUEST PARKING SPOTS:

​

Additional parking is located throughout the community. It is intended for TEMPORARY guest and visitor parking. It is NOT designated as extra parking for homeowner vehicles on a permanent or frequent basis. 

Abuse of our guest spots and commercial vehicles often leads to issues with Street Parking. There are a very limited amount of these spots, and their usage may vary. Their purpose is to allow our homeowners to have a safe and dedicated spot for their guests to park for temporary activities. If these spots are frequently utilized by homeowners for other purposes, it takes this benefit away from everyone else who lives in our community when they need it.

​

For purposes of this Rule, the term “parked vehicle” is defined as any inoperable vehicle, including but not limited to flat tire(s), collision damage, other mechanical problems, or expired license tags. 

Vehicles of any type shall not be parked permanently or semi-permanently on the property of any residential unit, in the vicinity of any residential lot, or in the Common Area for the purpose of accomplishing repairs to, or reconstruction of such vehicle. This restriction shall also apply to all vehicles not in operating condition regardless of whether or not such vehicles are being operated. 

DESIGNATED POOL PARKING:

​

During our open Pool season, 4 spots shall be designated and dedicated to Pool Parking ONLY. These spots may be used while the pool is not in operation, from Sunset to 9AM. If overnight parked cars remain after Pool Opening, they will be towed.

OTHER IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION:

​

Parking is allowed in designated parking areas only. There is absolutely no parking allowed in Common Areas or in homeowner lawns.
