Board tables Crown Point Estates on-street parking restriction after staff finds isolated incident

The Wildwood Board of Public Safety considered a request to prohibit on-street parking in the first block of Crown Point Estates Drive, off Bridal Road, where a vehicle had been parked during construction work and a neighbor objected. Captain Mundell reported his follow-up investigation found the incident was isolated: a contractor or resident parked temporarily while work was underway, the homeowners association contacted the vehicle owner and there have been no repeat occurrences. Mundell said, “He did it within the same month, another time, the HOA went and contacted him, and after that, he... agreed not to do it, and didn't do it any time after that.” Board members expressed concern that posting no-parking signs could inflame a localized dispute and said it was reasonable to “let the sleeping dog lie” unless the problem recurs. The board voted to table the item until the October meeting and asked staff to close the loop with the HOA and notify the resident who raised the complaint about the results of the investigation. No formal parking prohibition was adopted at this meeting.
