In 2017, the legislation regarding car parking spaces has undergone changes. Their essence is the introduction of the minimum and maximum size of a parking space for a car (cars and not only). In addition, the courtyard parking lot has received the status of a real estate object and now it is possible to purchase it as an apartment or a garage.
Size of parking space according to GOST
The main document reflecting the dimensions of parking spaces is SNiP 21-02-99, which began to operate in 2011. It limits the parking area for a passenger car to 2.5 m wide and 5.3 m long. These dimensions do not include the marking of parking spaces, the dimensions of which in width reach 0.1 m.
If the car belongs to a disabled person, the parking parameters increase. The dimensions of the parking space in this case are up to 6.2 m long and 3.6 m wide. 10-20% of the total area of parking lots near large shops, shopping centers, hospitals, cultural institutions, as well as parking lots in modern residential areas is allocated for places for the disabled.
The same document governs the entirea set of technical requirements related to the organization of the parking space, as well as the parameters of those materials that are used to enclose the territory. The main ones are:
- Parking in any yard should always be fenced off with a side stone.
- Reflective markings must be created on vertical supports (pillars, etc.) both in courtyards and other places.
- Asph alt surface is marked with nitro paint or thermoplastic. In practice, in most cases, you can observe the use of an inexpensive water-based mixture. During the season, it is usually washed away by precipitation.
Changes in legislation in force since the beginning of 2017 determined the minimum parking space with dimensions of 5.3 x 2.5 m, while its maximum parameters are the same as for places for the disabled.
Important nuance
In addition, from 2017-01-01, the parking lot is recognized as a real estate item. You can buy it, take it on a mortgage at the same time as an apartment, bequeath it, sell it, and do all the same manipulations with it as with any property.
Carrying out marking work, preliminary preparatory procedures are carried out - site selection, taking into account the standard size of a parking space and determining the total number of parking spaces and the features of their location. Most often we are talking about parking for cars - trucks are parked in special areas.
Possible gap between borders is taken into account - assumingthe possibility of free passage between the machines of one person. Pay attention, in addition, to the type of car parking - wide or long. Secondary factors include the thickness of the markings, the type of fencing and a number of aesthetic considerations.
Marking should preferably be applied in warm, dry weather with an air temperature of 18 to 25 degrees Celsius. The materials recommended for this are paint, thermoplastic or polymer tape. The size of the parking space may deviate from the allowable by no more than 5 cm.
Sequence of actions when applying parking markings
- Material in preparation.
- The place is being prepared - it is completely cleared of old markings, debris and dust.
- A preliminary contour is applied according to the intended parameters.
- Each of the contours is painted over until a straight line is obtained.
- Final revision is being made - areas for the disabled are marked, poles are painted with luminescent paint, if necessary, numbering or other means for ease of navigation (in the case of a large parking area) are applied.
Unauthorized off-street parking
Practically in any yard, one can observe the seizure by citizens of a part of the yard parking space using various objects - boxes, poles, weights, concrete blocks, etc. Most often, such actions are illegal, since the land surrounding the apartment building isproperty of the municipality or common shared ownership of residents. In the event of a similar situation, you can appeal against the illegal actions of a neighbor by filing a complaint with the Criminal Code, the city administration or the district police officer.
The statement may be supplemented by photo or video materials, testimonies and other evidence of the offense.
Legal registration of parking in the yard
Under the concept of a parking space, the law understands a part of the parking lot, fenced off with special structures or markings with the obligatory reflection of this fact in the cadastral registration. Thus, the parking place has an exclusively designated purpose (only for parking cars) and, like any real estate, is subject to state registration.
Obtaining the right to exclusive use of this place is a rather laborious procedure. To implement it, you should take actions in this order:
The owners of the house at the general meeting must decide on the transfer of part of the common house territory to private ownership or leasing in order to organize a certain number of parking spaces
- The protocol, signed by all consonants in the presence of a quorum (ie, half or more of all owners), is referred to the territorial office of the cadastral chamber in order to call an engineer. Tom will have to carry out the necessary measuring work, the payment of which is assigned to the residents.
- Then the territory is put on the cadastral register, for which you will need to provide a package of documents fromcadastral plan of the territory, mentioned protocol, personal passport and certificate of ownership of the apartment.
- Having stocked up with a certificate from the chamber and a project of the territory drawn up by an engineer, we turn to the local administration for approval.
- Having received permission, we coordinate the work with Rospotrebnadzor.
- Having acquired all the necessary permits, we begin the practical work of marking and erecting fences, the funds for which are also allocated by the residents.
In the absence of official registration of the local area as the property of residents, it is considered by default to be the property of the administration. Then, in order to achieve what was planned, it will be necessary to draw up a land lease agreement with this body.
