• Parking in cul-de-sacs
• There has been some confusion regarding parking in cul-de-sacs within Highland Ranch.  The streets within our association fall within the jurisdiction of Washoe County and therefore Washoe County ordinances.  It is a violation to park in any manner, other than parallel, even in cul-de-sacs.
• WCC 70.400 Angle parking prohibited; penalty
• It is unlawful to stop, park or leave standing any vehicle, whether attended or unattended, at an angle to the highway when such vehicle extends into the paved or main-traveled part of the highway, unless the area in which such vehicle is stopped, parked or left standing is an area for which a permit has been issued by the sheriff.  (A citation may be issued.)

 

• COYOTE SIGHTINGS
• Several homeowners have sighted coyotes within the association.  Never attempt to feed a coyote.  Coyotes are wild animals and will attack dogs, cats and even children. 

 

• Earthquakes / Disasters
• Washoe County has a web site dedicated to emergency management.  Check it out at www.readywashoe.com.

 

• HELP STOP GRAFFITI !!
