I certainly don’t know about Arizona parking rules, but I suppose every housing association should have a clause which will allow disabled person to apply for a special disabled badge, which will allow them to park near their house. However, as you said, there are two sides of every story. I am sure she didn’t park it there for the first time.

[...] So do you buy in an HOA or not?If you do some research, you will find horror stories of HOA Boards Gone Wild. Over two years ago I wrote, Incredibly inept HOA action!, which outlined one such out of control HOA board. And here is another sad tale right here in the Phoenix area – Silly HOA Moves. [...]

We can easily criticize HOA’s and most homeowners do. However, if we want them to change we need to get involved, become an officer, etc. When was the last time you attended the monthly meeting to express your opinions? Let them know they’re out of line, but be constructive. I’ve attend ours and I was the only one there that was not on the board. Participate!

It sounds like there’s more to this story than we know about. Did this handicapped home owner just move in? Or has she lived their for upteen years? I am hoping it was a situation where this person has lived their for some time and then recently became handicapped, which then forced her to park in front of her home.

In any event, will all the homeowners in said H.O.A. be willing to pay higher monthly H.O.A. fees to cover the cost to provide “reasonable accommodations” for her disabilities and any other owner’s handicapped status. Or should they rewrite the CC&Rs to allow only handicapped owners to park their vehicles in front of their home in a “common area”. Isn’t their a huge liability issue if everyone started parking in the common areas?

“HOA officials first said they would respond to the situation in a meeting scheduled to be held the following month.”

The following month. LOL

Classic.

One guy made this decision. If the other home owners are scared #$%&less by this example of leadership, nothing will.

If the guy/gal who made this decision isn’t removed, they deserve what the future holds.

The thing that really chaps me about this situation is that the HOA never held the meeting to discuss it. Another instance where communication may have saved a lot of time, money and hassle.

You would think the owner of the lot would have the sense and decency to give the vehicle back whist the case is sorted out; at least then Ms Turley would still have some mobility.
The people on the HOA should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
