when he appeared in a Columbus courtroom on Tuesday.
According to the residents and their attorneys, Praznovsky had offered to sell the common space used for parking that was set up by a now-defunct homeowners association for $2.4 million. That adds up to $30,000 from each of the 80 households.Property purchased in the Smokey Ridge Estates subdivision included parking spaces
Praznovsky's parking lease states that vehicles of residents who didn't accept the parking contract by Dec. 15 and make their first payments by Jan. 3, would be subject to towing and impoundment. That has been put on hold pending the case outcome, according to court records. Tamara Sutehall, a paralegal working with the residents, said it is"heartbreaking" that so many residents on fixed incomes are being forced into the parking scheme.The issue arose after an apparent lapse by those who had created a not-for-profit more than 40 years ago to manage the common property, including parking spaces on the privately-owned streets in front of their townhomes and condominiums and a retention pond.
