Video equipment is in use at the pool, deck areas, gate entrances, parking areas, and tennis court areas. This equipment records images.

Legal Stuff: “There are several homeowners in the community who owe past due assessments to the Association. As a result of their delinquency, the Association has suspended their right to use the recreational facilities within the community. These individuals will, therefore, be unable to use the pool or tennis courts as their access cards have been deactivated. If you are at the pool or tennis courts and someone asks you to give them access, please do not do so as it is quite possible that these persons may be members of a delinquent household or may not reside in the community. If you allow them to enter the facilities and surrounding area, they will be trespassing on the Association’s property, which action may be subject to further enforcement action by the Association. If a homeowner has lost his/her access card, he/she should contact the Association’s Board of Directors/Property Manager directly for a replacement card.” DO NOT sell, loan, or otherwise give your access credential to anyone else to use. Access credentials are assigned to a specific homeowner and cannot be transferred to, or used by, anyone else.
