Car/Motorcycle Sticker FAQ

Why do I need to renew/new application of Car/Motorcycle sticker?
Car/Motorcycle sticker is to identify whether you are the rightful owner of the bay you have parked in.

Why do I need to enter as a visitor when I forget my card if I have a sticker?
Each has its own separate function with the Card solely used to open the car barrier gate and the car sticker is for car parking lot identification.   You will still have to register as a visitor at the Guardhouse if you enter not using an access card.

How much do I need to pay for a Car/Motorcycle sticker?
It is Free of Charge during the distribution exercise period from 2^nd March 2015 to 3^rd May 2015. A sum of RM10.00 is chargeable after this period i.e. from 4^th May 2015 onwards.

How many car stickers can I apply?
It depends on the number of car park lots you have, for e.g. if you have 2 car park lots, you will be entitled for 2 car stickers.

How many motorcycle stickers can I apply?
It depends on the number of motorcycles you have as long as you can show proof of ownership of those motorcycles.

Do I need to display Car/Motorcycle sticker whilst parking in the car park bay?
Yes, the Car/Motorcycle sticker must be displayed prominently for Security reasons, e.g. if your car alarm goes off or your vehicle is parked in the wrong bay, our Security can identify the vehicle ownership & inform you immediately.

What happens if I don’t display the sticker?
Security will serve a reminder notice on your car windscreen reminding you to display the sticker.  Should you fail to display the sticker the day after, your car wheel will be clamped.

I have several bays and cars and move the stickers around. Is this a problem?
No problem, the sticker will be marked with the bays that you own e.g. P1/28, 29, 30.
You need to display the sticker prominently on your vehicle windscreen when parking in the car park.

Car Park Traffic Flow FAQ

Dear Residents

We have received several good questions regarding the new traffic flow that was introduced in the car park. The below FAQ should answer the common questions that are being raised:

Why can’t downward cars turn left and upward cars turn right at the central ramp near Tower G? 

This was previously looked into and rejected because the roadway would need to be 2 way and unfortunately the width is insufficient. If the road way direction was maintained (turn left) then the parking spaces on the left of the ramp would be inaccessible if those Residents enter via Gate 2. The objective of making all traffic turning right at the central ramp is to enable access to and exit from all the parking bays at Phase 1 possible regardless of which Gate you wish to enter or exit from.

Why can’t the road be closed to stop people turning left at the central ramp near Tower G?

In addition to the lack of width for a 2 way road as mentioned above this would cause access issues for the immediate spaces next to the “ramp wall”. As per the authorities' parking space guidelines such spaces need to be much wider than the standard bays that are in place to address access issues and unfortunately we are not able to relocate those spaces that would be impacted.

I now have to drive further which takes an extra 30 seconds to get to my space near Tower H/J and this is so inconvenient. 

Why have you done this? The existing flow was designed when there were only Phase 1 Towers and access was only via Gate 1. So when Phase 2 was constructed and access was made possible via Gate 2 too, there were conflicting directions and on some levels it has resulted in no legal way to get to spaces near Towers E,F,G,H & J from Gate 2. The new 1 way flow not only solves this access issue but is safer.

Why is the flow on P4 different to that on P3?

The indoor Visitor parking is on P5 and P3 and following feedback from Residents regarding Visitors getting lost the objective was to make Visitor access from Gate 1 as simple as possible and the new flow achieves this. Please also note that P4 and P5 do not have the same constraints and access requirements to Towers A-D as levels P1-3.

Cars keep driving the wrong way! 

Additional signs, traffic management solutions will be implemented which will be augmented by periodic traffic control from our guards. Sadly some people are just too selfish and take short-cuts to get to their spaces, disregarding the safety of others. This selfish and couldn't-care-less attitude prevails both within our car park and outside on the public highways. So our advice is please drive carefully and remain vigilant at all times.

When will the new floor arrows and road markings be installed? 

Ideally this would have been done concurrently with the signage installation however due to several issues which could not be avoided this is slightly delayed and it is hoped to be completed in the next few

Car Park Safety

Please remember the following when driving in the car park:

• Observe the speed limit - Max 15 km/h 
• Please switch on your headlights so that others can see you
• Always be vigilant - remember not everybody has the intelligence to drive safely or follow the traffic flow correctly

UPDATE ON OUTDOOR VISITOR PARKING AT PHASE 2, VISITORS’ VEHICLE PASS & PICK-UP/DROP-OFF

Dear Residents

Further to our Notice dated 6 January 2015 on the above matter, we are pleased to share the following updates:-

Outdoor Visitor Parking at Phase 2

The Outdoor Visitor Parking at Towers A, B, C & D has now been fully restored.

Control measures and bay numbering have been put in place to improve management of the bays and these measures will be rolled out to all Visitor spaces over the coming weeks.

Please note that the 13 outdoor bays will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis.



If there is no outdoor parking available then Visitors will be asked to proceed to Gate 1 and then directed to park at P3.

Residents who wish their Visitors to park at these bays for special events or functions will need to make a reservation with Management. The Visitor’s name, residents contact details and details of the vehicle will need to be furnished i.e. the vehicle make, registration number and expected date and time of arrival.

Please be reminded that Visitor parking is for a maximum 48 hours only.

Visitors’ Vehicle Passes

Visitors’ Vehicle Passes for Phase 2 are now numbered and coloured to synchronise with the allotted bay and colour code of the parking area. On the reverse of the new passes is the Parking Bay & Tower Directions Map to guide Visitors to the exact parking bay and to the Tower they are visiting.

Residents are hereby reminded to collect their Visitors at the Tower Lobby.

New Passes for other Visitor parking areas will be implemented in the coming weeks.

Pick-Up / Drop-Off Parking Bays

Eleven (11) additional Pick-Up/Drop-Off parking bays at Tower entrances are now in operation – three (3) each between Towers A & B, C & D and H & J, and two (2) at Tower E.

Towers G & F will have several of the existing bays will be reserved for pick up and drop off.

A maximum time of 20 minutes is allowed, and the Tower Guards have been instructed to clamp vehicles that exceed the permitted time limit.


Further updates on other parking-related initiatives shall be shared in due course. In the meantime we call for your patience, understanding and support to enable us to complete the parking improvements.

Thank you.

Regards,
Villa Wangsamas JMC

Additional Visitor Bays near Tower J

Dear Residents

Adjacent to Tower J is an unused section of the driveway that is closed off owing to there being a dead end with no turning circle at the end.

To better utilise the space, we are proposing to create 6-8 Visitor parking bays in that area to provide more space for Visitor parking.

However, due to space constraints in that area, Visitors wishing to park there will need to drive in and reverse out.
 




We seek your feedback on this proposal, and you may do so via vwm.jmc@gmail.com or the Management Office team before Saturday 6^th September 2014 following which a decision shall made.

VEHICLE ENTRY AT GATE 1,2 & 3

Residents are reminded that visitors requiring parking must enter via our primary guardhouse at Gate 1.

All residents are required to use a vehicle access card to enter/exit our car park and those without a card will be treated as a visitor. Recently there have been several instances of both visitors and residents without valid access cards trying to gain access to the car park complex via Gate 2.

The system has been in place for some time however strict enforcement of this rule will be in effect from 15 August 2014

1. Residents found without vehicle access cards are no longer be permitted to enter via Gate 2 will be required to proceed to Gate 1 for entry
2. Gate 3 exit is strictly for residents with valid access cards. All other vehicles will need to exit via Gate 1
3. All Visitors requiring parking must enter via Gate 1 with the exception of drop off/pick up’s for Tower A,B,C,D, and Gate 2 will no longer allow entry to visitor parking
4. Pedestrian visitors may enter and exit at Gates 1 & 2

Your attention on the above mentioned matter is appreciated we trust you would render your cooperation with our sentry guards who are enforcing the visitor rules.

Abandoned Car

Derelict Car – Registration no ‘Perodua Myvi’ WPY 4147
We have received a complaint  that this derelict vehicle has parked into unit owner car park bay no 295 level P3 and it appeared to be unmoved for very long.

The vehicle is enveloped in thick dust and the sight of the derelict vehicles is an eyesore to everyone.



We traced the car ownership to Encik Hazli bin Husin of Johor however if you or the person managing the car is at Villa Wangsamas then we urge you as owner of the abovementioned vehicle to come forward to the management office within 14 days from the date of this notice for arrangement to remove the said vehicles out from our car park bay immediately.

Failing which, the Management Office shall without any prejudice to you as vehicle owner, will arrange to tow the said derelict vehicles out of the condominium compound without making any further reference and all cost of removal shall be borne by you.

Gate 1 Revised Traffic Flow Plan

Following the recent update on proposed traffic flow change at Gate 1 we received feedback that the plans were far from optimal. The number of options available are limited owing to bomba requirements stipulating a 6m wide entrance which means that we are unable to simply place a car reader in the middle between lane 1& 2.

Over the past few months several options were looked at and the wake of the feedback received the JMC have decided to amend the plan which will provide optimal traffic flow.

We will be installing a long range card reader in lane 1 which will require the use a transponder in the car to open the barrier. The concept will be similar to the SMART Tag system used at the tolls in Malaysia.


Residents wishing to use the lane will be required to purchase a transponder from the management office which will come with a different type of access card which is heat resistant and fully compatible with all card readers at Villa Wangsamas.

The final pricing is still being worked out however the transponder, card & card printing will available at cost price of less than RM100 per piece.

Residents who do not wish to use a transponder may continue to use lane 2 which will retain the existing card reader.

Subject to a successful implementation then installation at Gates 2 & 3 will be considered for later in the year.

Linkbridge Gates, CCTV and Lobby Door Update - 16 Dec

We are pleased to announce that the contractor for the Ironwork and lobby doors has finally be appointed and work should commence in the next 2 weeks.

The CCTV covering these many points is now operational although some adjustments will probably be needed once the everything is installed.

Once everything is installed it will ensure a greater level of access control to each block and hopefully provide a much safer environment for us to live in.

CAR PARK BAY FOR RENTAL

RE : CAR PARK BAY FOR RENTAL

Dear Residents,

Please be informed that the Management Office still have 3 car park space for rental. The rental sum is chargeable at RM120/ per month payable 6 months in advance. The location of the rental car park bay is situated at level P2, sandwiched between Block B and Block C. Should you be keen in renting additional car park space, please come to the Management Office to enquire more of the rental bay.

Your attention on the above matter is appreciated.

Private Rental of Parking Bays

Please be advised that residents who rent parking space(s) from private parties must ensure that both the official parking sticker and the car park access card(s) are provided to avoid issues with access, security enforcement and clamping.

Recently several cars have been clamped for parking in a bay without a valid sticker. The root cause of the problem was that the owner of the bay had failed to provide the tenant renting the bay a valid parking sticker and access card as part of the rental agreement.

During the last AGM a motion was passed allowing a limited number of visitor parking bays to be rented out to residents subject to terms and conditions. The demand for these bays has been overwhelming with all spaces taken and enquiries received on an almost daily basis. At the next AGM, JMB members can decide whether or not to allow more visitor spaces to be rented out to residents.

Following the success of the above initiative, the JMC were made aware that one particular unit owned by the developer had approximately 75 parking spaces allocated to it. Although the spaces are clearly shown on the Strata Title Plan, the legality of the situation is still being investigated by our legal team.

Even if it’s legal, the JMC would like to state our disappointment at the immoral approach taken by Setapak Heights for not allocating these spaces as common property in the form of visitor's bays.
To make matters worse, it would appear that the developer has not collected the parking stickers or has the access cards for the parking bays before renting them out

Unfortunately the JMC understands that several residents have paid money in advance to the developer for the use of these bays and have now found that they don’t have stickers and access cards to use the bays owing to the developer again not taking responsibility.

The residents who have rented the spaces are in a difficult situation and perhaps should consider asking for their money back from the developer.

The JMC would like to reiterate the following points:

• Under Act 663 Building and Common Property (Maintenance and Management) ACT 2007 the JMB are not responsible for issues arising out of private rental agreements between parcel owners/residents
• The rental of parking bays between owners is a private matter, hence, any dispute over payment or non-delivery of parking stickers/access cards lies solely between the owner of the bay and the person renting the bay
• The application and collection of stickers must be performed by the parcel owner and details of any tenancy agreements must be provided by parcel owner failing which the application will be rejected

Clamping incident at Tower H

We are disappointed to receive a report of an incident on Monday 16/9 involving a tenant from H-10-1 who’s car had been clamped due to illegally parking outside Tower H.

Later that day the resident refused to pay the clamping release fee and the police were called. The police reiterated that the condominium rules must be followed and left.

Following the departure of the police, the resident became unruly and with a help of a friend removed the clamp with a grinding machine.

A video showing the shocking and unacceptable behaviour can be seen below:

A police report has been made and the JMB will commence damage recovery proceedings.

The Management and the JMC would like to reiterate that this type of behaviour is not acceptable under ANY circumstances and offenders we be passed to the police.

Thank you for your cooperation.
