SHA PARKING REGULATIONS PERTINENT TO SHYC
The Sachems Head Association is making every effort to assure that its roadways are safe, that safety concerns for property and people are covered, and that parking locations, which are understandably limited, are made available to as great an extent as reasonably possible. SHA facility usage regulations are also noted below.
The Association has worked closely with the Town of Guilford in establishing and/or modifying regulations pertinent to the above and are covered herewith.
TRAFFIC AND PARKING
Speed Limits: 15 MPH within the Association Area
Parking: Parking is available on Chimney Corner Circle with restrictions as noted below.
Additional parking, including overnight, is available on a restricted basis on Colonial Rd. (below and west of Falcon Rd.), Prospect Ave. and Uncas Pt. Rd.
Club members may park properly identified vehicles in the beach parking lot while they are playing tennis or using the beach relative to Club-sponsored swimming lessons.
Association parking areas (at the Tennis Court, Landing, and Uncas Pt. facilities) may be used for special functions, but permission must be obtained from the SHA Executive Board in advance.
No vehicles shall be parked so as to encroach on any sidewalk or so as to obstruct the free and safe entry into and/or exit from any driveway.
No person shall operate any vehicle within the Association district in a manner annoying or offensive to the public.
No Parking Areas: Generally delineated by yellow lines (zones) throughout the area.
Speed Bumps or Comparable: Currently under review
Enforcement: Violators will be subject to ticketing and where noted, towing at the owner's expense.
CHIMNEY CORNER CIRCLE:
This area is of particular concern out of respect for property owners rights and need to provide adequate entry and egress for fire equipment as specified by the Guilford Fire Department.
No Parking: Delineated by yellow cross- hatched zones or a single yellow line along the edge of the pavement around the Circle. No portion (side, front or rear bodies) of the vehicle must encroach on the yellow areas or over the white width lines noted below.
Parking Areas: Where needed, white lines will indicate width areas (6.5’) within which the body of the vehicle must be parked. Because of the narrow roadway, this is to assure that as much of the road width as possible is available for traffic, especially fire trucks.
Yacht Club Loading Zone: Marked opposite the entry walk to the Club. For short term parking only and vehicles must not be unattended at any time. If necessary, the Club will be expected to provide a person to attend the vehicle while performing services. This particularly applies to pump-outs, and unloading of vehicles for special Club functions.
Parking Limits: No overnight parking will be allowed on the Circle.
Tow Zones: In coordination with the Town of Guilford, No Parking and Loading areas are designated as Tow Zones and violators will be subject to towing at their expense.
GENERAL AND SHA FACILITY USE:
Association facilities (Landing, Beach, Paddle, Uncas Pt) are for use by Association members and approved guests only, except as designated herein or by lease agreements (Tennis Courts).
Club members may launch and recover their moored boats at the Landing in the Spring and Fall, but may not use the facility to go to and return from moored vessels.
Hosts of private or outside functions, (weddings etc.) where heavy traffic, loading and parking problems could be anticipated will be required to utilize, during applicable periods, an attendant (police, staff attendant etc.) to be hired by the Association and reimbursed by the host.
Enforcement of these regulations will be the responsibility of the Guilford Police Department and SHA Staff Attendants, who are duly authorized to issue warnings and tickets. The Staff Attendants represent the Association and no person shall knowingly obstruct, resist or abuse them or any Police Officer while engaged in the performance of their official duties.
The Association will recommend to the appropriate body that repeat violators of these regulations be subject to disciplinary action.
Per Order of the SHA Executive Board- June 16, 2006
