Vehicle ID system

In October 2011 we issued a notice concerning the installation of vehicle ID tags. We have since updated the tags and we require all residents to have their new or replacement ID tags installed at the main security office located at the main entrance before March 31, 2012.

It has come to our attention that some persons may have paid for vehicle ID tags which are free issue. Those persons should contact the Head of Security, Ms. Barton, on 327-6943 immediately for resolution.

We will require the name, address and license number for each vehicle registered to a Sandyport resident to be recorded and the ID tag to be installed on the left side window. The ID tags renew annually with the initial set expiring December 2012. From April 1, 2012 all vehicles without an ID tag will be deemed non-resident and not granted entry until the resident provides authorization or the ID tag is installed.

To reserve your vehicle ID tag please contact security on 327-6943 or send an email.

Whilst those residents with automatic entry decals already installed will not require the ID tag to enter the property, we are encouraging all residents to register their vehicles. Residents should be aware that the automatic entry lanes are not opened manually and are reserved for those who have purchased automatic entry decals, details of which can be found here.

We appreciate your support in making the community of Sandyport safer.

Introduction of rolling garbage cans

We have invested in 100 new rolling garbage cans for placement in the common areas. For easy identification they have been labelled as Association property and should not be removed from the location where they are assigned. They are not to be found on private property as they are for the benefit of the community. We expect that this should help to reduce the spread of disease by reducing the amount of household refuse that is disturbed by stray animals. Please use appropriate garbage bags for proper disposal and close the lid securely after use.

Under no circumstances should construction debris be placed in the garbage areas. If large items that are not considered normal household refuse require removal, we recommend using the junk removal service.

Board of Directors Meeting: Updates for November 2011

The Board has discussed a number of issues at a recent meeting and have agreed upon the following:

Delinquent accounts

As of January 1, 2012 a list of addresses detailing delinquent accounts will be made available to any Member of the Association upon request.

Pest control

The Association will continue to monitor the common areas for rodents and ensure that there are adequate rodent bait stations in place. Residents requiring rodent control on their private property should contact a reputable company for assistance as this service is outside the scope of the Association’s obligations.

To further enhance the health of our environment, rollout trash containers with attached lids will soon replace the existing garbage cans.

Phase V recreation area

The area will continue to be for the use of all residents and their pets. There are no plans at this time to restrict the entry of pets.

Sandyport security decals

The recently issued decals will be replaced by the issue of new decals that will bear the Sandyport logo in lieu of the name. A notice will be sent when they are available.

Dangerous dogs

Owners of dogs that are considered a threat because they demonstrate aggressive behaviour will be asked to remove them forthwith and failure to do so will result in police involvement. The policy applies irrespective of size or breed of animal.

Tambearly school drop off zone

The school gate open times are as follows (during school days only):

  • 8am – 9am
  • 11:45am – 12:30pm
  • 2:30pm – 3:30pm

At all other times the school gate is locked and unattended but may be opened upon request.

Annual General Meeting

The AGM will take place at 5pm on January 20, 2012. Confirmation of the venue will be circulated soon. We are still seeking nominees for Officers and the Board of Directors. All nominees must be current members of the Sandyport Homeowners Association in good standing and preferably reside within the development (although it is not a prerequisite). If you are interested in running for the Board or would like to nominate someone, please email details to nominees@sandyportmanagement.com.

Removal of dangerous dogs

There have been legitimate concerns raised by certain residents about dangerous dogs that reside within Sandyport. Whilst the Restrictive Covenants stipulate the weight limit of dogs to those under 50lbs, the Board determined that this should be aggressively enforced where animals are considered dangerous, such as Pit Bull Terriers. The relevant Restrictive Covenant reads as follows:

No swine cows horses poultry or objectionable animals or creatures shall be kept raised or maintained PROVIDED ALWAYS that a single dog weighing less than fifty (50) pounds when adult and a single cat shall not be deemed to be objectionable animals and providing nevertheless that they do not constitute a nuisance that they are normally kept inside the house and that they are not bred regularly.

To that end the Association has encouraged the co-operation of owners with dangerous dogs to arrange for their removal and if that has not been forthcoming, legal action has been instigated against the owners.

It is unfortunate that the Association must resort to legal action to promote the safety of the wider community however we would like residents to be aware that it is doing all within it’s power to arrange for the removal of such dangerous animals.

*** UPDATE – Nov 18, 2011 ***

An incident has been reported to the police and the matter is being handled by them. The police have advised that any owner should report any incidents of this nature directly to them and not to the Association so they can then treat as a criminal matter.

Halloween weekend

As we are all know Halloween is celebrated at the end of October and as customary, it will be celebrated in a big way at Sandyport. Our security team will be highly visible during the Halloween festivities.

There are a few safety tips we would like for you to keep in mind during this celebration:

  1. Please have your invited guests use the main gate and ensure you provide security with a list – uninvited guests will be refused entry.
  2. For Security purposes, no trick or treaters will be allowed access through the Service entrance.
  3. Please ask your guest to state the name of the residents who invited them. Security will not be allowing any uninvited trick or treaters on to the property.
  4. Please advise your guest that everyone is expected to be off the property by 10p.m.

New vehicle ID system

To further enhance our security we are introducing a new vehicle ID system to facilitate the recognition of vehicles that enter without using the automatic entry system. We require all residents to have their ID tag installed at the main security office located at the main entrance before October 31, 2011. We require the name, address and license number for each vehicle registered to a Sandyport resident to be recorded and the ID tag to be installed in the upper left hand corner of the windscreen. The ID tags renew annually with the initial set expiring December 2012. From November 1, 2011 all vehicles without an ID tag will be deemed non-resident and not granted entry until the resident provides authorization or the ID tag is installed.

Whilst those residents with automatic entry decals already installed will not require the ID tag to enter the property, we are encouraging all residents to register their vehicles. Effective November 1, 2011 the automatic entry lane at the main entrance will no longer be opened manually and therefore residents that wish to use this facility should arrange for the decal to be installed.

We appreciate your support in making the community of Sandyport safer.
