We urge you to take a few minutes to review this guide now. It could save you a good bit of time later. Your Home Site Parking Lots Note: As part of the common elements, your parking lot will be maintained by the condominium corporation. Owners are encouraged to contact the Board of Directors with any concerns. The parking lot was designed and constructed for the use of passenger cars or light utility vehicles and not heavy trucks or trailers. Any pointed object will sink readily into asphalt in warm weather. Bicycle and motorcycle kick-stands are two common causes of damaged asphalt. Natural settlement of the parking areas may occur after installation. In addition, frost penetration may raise sections so as to change the direction of surface drainage. Aff ected areas may return to their original state in warm weather. Other characteristics that can be expected include tire markings, indentations, cracking or uneven areas in asphalt surfaces. These conditions are beyond Minto’s control. Asphalt will last for many years under normal use and care. However, it is not indestructible and periodic resealing is recommended. The frequency of resealing will depend on the level of use. Avoid the use of chemical de-icers as these products can be harmful to asphalt surfaces. Gasoline and oil will also dissolve asphalt at a rapid rate and therefore any spills or drippings should be washed away immediately. Specifi c cleaning products for these kinds of spills are available at most hardware stores. Patio stones can be expected to rise and settle with seasonal temperature and precipitation variations and may not return to their original placement. 29
