OVERNIGHT PARKING
Overnight parking is not permitted on the community streets. Overnight guests must park in your driveway or make prior arrangements by contacting Security.

<<back to top PARKING IN CUL-DE-SAC
The City of Palm Beach Gardens Ordinance 78-502 (2) (C) requires dead-end streets to have a cul-de-sac. Any parking in such cul-de-sacs would prevent Fire Rescue from using it as a means to turn around, therefore violating the ordinance. The Fire Rescue Department has notified us that parking in the cul-de-sacs contributes to not only a delayed response time, but hinders emergency response personnel and ultimately, care to fire and emergency victims. We are concerned for the safety of our residents and will cooperate with the City in compliance with this ordinance. If you park in the cul-de-sac you may be issued a citation and you are subject to a fine.
The Country Club at Mirasol Community Association, Inc. Board of Directors has adopted the following regulation which will be enforced by Elite Protection Services (effective 6/1/09).
The parking of a vehicle on a driveway in a manner as to obstruct either partially or completely, a sidewalk is prohibited, and shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $25.00.

Country Club at Mirasol Community Association
Leasing Rules and Regulations
The leasing of Units within Mirasol is governed by the provisions of Section 13.18, Leasing of Units, of the Community Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Easements for the Country Club at Mirasol. These Rules and Regulations are promulgated by the Board of Directors of The Country Club at Mirasol Community Association (the “CCMCA”) pursuant to the authority granted to it under Section 14.3 of the Community Declaration for the purpose of codifying and conforming the policies, practices, and procedures for the leasing of Units. The attached Rules and Regulations constitute interpretations of and, where necessary, amendments to Section 13.18, and should be read in conjunction with the provisions of such Section. They supplement but do not supersede the provisions of Section 13.18 of the Community Declaration.
To ensure that no individual and/or family unit assumes the status of a “permanent lessee” within Mirasol, the Rules and Regulations reflect maximum periods of time during which such individual/family unit may enter into a lease agreement for a unit within Mirasol.
In order to assure a community of congenial residents and thus protect the value of the Lots, the leasing of residential Units in Mirasol shall be subject to the following provisions, which are effective on and after May 1, 2010:
ARTICLE 1 – LEASES: No lease of any interest in a Lot shall commence without the Lot Owner having first obtained the written approval of such lease by the Board of Directors of The Country Club at Mirasol Community Association (the “CCMCA”). Any lease agreement in effect as of May 1, 2010, the effective date of these Rules and Regulations, shall be deemed approved. However, any renewal or extension of any existing lease, and all new leases after the effective date of these Rules and Regulations shall be subject to these provisions.
ARTICLE 2 – APPLICATION FORM: No later than 5 days after execution of the lease agreement, but at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the lease, the Lot Owner (the “Owner” or the “Lessor”) shall complete and submit a completed Application for Occupancy to the Mirasol On-Site Property Management Office, together with a copy of the fully executed lease agreement, the fully executed lease addendum, an executed Authorization and Release form for all occupants over the age of 18, and payment of the required fee. Please note that the CCMCA reserves the right to coordinate with the Mirasol Club Membership Department in approval of all leases.
Any lease agreements shall require a background screening of all occupants over the age of 18 as a required part of approval process.
ARTICLE 3 – APPROVAL TIME: Within not more than thirty (30) days after receipt of a completed application, the CCMCA Board shall either approve or disapprove of the lease. In the event that action is not taken with 30 days, the lease shall be deemed to have been approved.
ARTICLE 4 – SPECIFIC TERMS; LIMITATIONS: Any and all lease agreements between an Owner and a lessee of a Lot shall be in writing, shall provide for a term of not less than four (4) months, and must provide that the lease shall be subject, in all respects, to the terms and provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, and the Rules and Regulations of the CCMCA, the Mirasol Master Maintenance Association (the “MMMA”), and the applicable village Property Owners’ Association (the “POA”).

Upon expiration of such 24 month maximum period, no further leases will be approved by the CCMCA Board, and any existing lease with an unexpired term which would exceed the aforementioned 24 month cumulative maximum will be deemed void. No lot shall be subject to more than two (2) leases during any calendar year.

The CCMCA will not approve any lease where the expiration date of the lease term is later than the end of the aforementioned twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) month periods.

Approval of month to month lease extensions will be at the discretion of the CCMCA Board of Directors. There is no required application fee for lease extensions; any new lease would require all items outlined in Article 2 of this document.
ARTICLE 6 – CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS OF OWNER: The provisions of this Article shall apply to all leases. The Owner of a leased lot shall remain liable for the performance of all of the agreements and covenants in the CCMCA, MMMA, and applicable village POA documents and for the payment of all Club charges that may become due, and all quarterly dues and maintenance or special assessments, and shall be liable for any violations by the lessee of any and all use restrictions.
Both lessor and lessee hereby agree that, in the event that the lessor shall become delinquent in the payment of any assessment or Club charges which may become due during the term of the lease, the Board of Directors and the CCMCA shall be authorized to direct payment of rentals to the CCMCA which will then apply such payments, first to satisfaction of all such amounts due, and then remit the balance to the lessor.
ARTICLE 7 – EVICTION PROCEEDINGS – LIMITATIONS ON LEASING: No Unit that is the subject of unpaid assessments, unpaid fines, or Club charges may be leased, and no Owner who is delinquent in the payment of such assessments and charges may lease his/her Unit.
