A little terminology

Parkfairfax is divided into units and Common Elements.
All areas outside the individual units are Common Elements.  These include  the land, building structures and the utility infrastructure.  Some elements are designated as Limited Common Elements for the exclusive use of individual unit owners.  These include patios (the area extending 20 feet to the rear of ground floor units), attics and assigned storage spaces.

Common Element areas are maintained by the Association and Limited Common Elements are generally maintained by the resident.

Rules at a glance

Parkfairfax is governed by Administrative and Policy Resolutions.  A complete listing of all resolutions can be found in the association office or on the Parkfairfax web site: www.parkfairfax.info.

Below are a few commonly viewed regulations.

Making changes to your unit If you decide to make serious changes to your unit such as adding a patio or removing a wall, you must complete a covenants application and submit it to the Covenants Committee.   Your application will be reviewed by association staff and committee members.  The Covenants Committee will vote on your application at its monthly meeting.  (Note:  If you are making changes to the building structure, you will also need City permits.)

Pets Parkfairfax is a pet-friendly community, however, some rules apply to pet ownership.  Always clean up after your pet and dispose of waste at your unit OR in the pet waste receptacles found throughout Parkfairfax.

Cats and dogs must be either carried or restrained on a leash. They must be registered with the management office and have a City license. You are allowed one pet per unit unless you petition the board for additional pets.

Parking There are no reserved parking places in Parkfairfax; parking is available on all public streets.

Lyons Lane, Holmes Lane, Coryell Lane, and Fitzgerald Lane are Parkfairfax property and considered Common Elements, as are the small off-street parking cul-de-sacs on main streets. You may park in any space available but the following applies:

Limit of one car or truck per unit on Common Elements; guests may park anywhere, but NO RV, commercial vehicles (except on a temporary basis), boat, or trailer parking is allowed anywhere in Parkfairfax.

Gardens and Patios Major planting and landscaping projects generally need prior approval of the Covenants Committee.  However, residents may plant an area up to 10 feet on the side and front of their units 30 days prior to receiving approval if the area does not cross a sidewalk and your unit has adjacent ground area.

Landscaping crews maintain the Common Elements and will also trim plants and remove leaves from unit areas unless the Limited Common Element is marked with yellow stakes which are  available from the office.  Placing these stakes around your garden  indicates that you will do all landscape maintenance including mulching, fertilizing,  raking leave and pruning.

Items such as sheds, excessive outdoor furniture, indoor furniture, and trash cans are not permitted at any time.

Items such as patio furniture and potted plants are allowed on stoops, breezeways, and patios.

Trash pick-up Trash is picked up Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  Recyclables are picked up Wednesday.  Place trash and recycling  on the stoop by 7 a.m.  Do not put trash out the night before. If you miss a trash pick-up, take the trash to the Maintenance Yard.
