Thursday, August 20th, 2015 @ 6:30pm the Board
met to discuss the operation of the new Lift Arm gates that have been installed
by Integrated Security. ‘Chris was
present and ready with answers to all questions presented by the Board.
The following is a list of these answers:
Door Key – will provide
the warranty for parts
Space provided
for entrance is 104”
- A standard RV = 96” by 8’
- Lift arms will be shortened by 6” on each side to provide additional room
Gate Stickers
- Cost = $15.00 per sticker. This will cover any additional office expense.
- Placement of sticker will be on the inside of vehicle’s windshield / glass, behind the rear-view mirror.
- Sticker will last as long as the vehicle. No additional purchase until the vehicle is replaced by owner.
- Sticker does not have batteries. The gate has the circuit system needed to provide functionality.
- Sticker can not be moved once it is established on a vehicle without destroying its usefulness.
Gate Meter – for code
entry
- A gate meter has been installed in front of the Police Department to provide coded entry for property owner’s guest.
- Each sticker has a (5) digit code that may be entered into the meter, allowing a guest entry through the lift gates.
- The guest will punch in that code – then has 20 seconds to drive through the gate.
- This code entry is recorded and may be verified by management.
- May be used to indicate excessive use of an individual code. Possible management concern.
A two week period of time will be allowed for DH members to
purchase their vehicle sticker prior to actual gate operation. Estimated date
for Gate Operation is September 8th
·
POA office hours will be extended: 7:am – 6:pm,
Mon – Thur.
·
Stickers may be mailed out to property owner
upon request by the property owner.
·
Additional stickers are available for additional
vehicles.
·
The property owner is responsible for the Renter
of said property.
The Iron gates
will remain open. Members are encouraged
to keep their gate cards for unseen, future events.
Emergency Vehicle
Entrance: All emergency vehicles
(Fire, EMT, Police) have their own system already installed for their own use.
South Side will have
new codes for entering their gate, as well.
This will provide additional security.
South Side property owners will need to purchase the new sticker to
enter through the Lift Arm gates.
Fencing will be
needed for the 200 feet of green space between the new gate entrance and exit. Options are being explored for this purpose:
§
Large rocks spaced strategically – similar to
Front Median landscape.
§
Short sections of fence with crepe myrtles between
sections
§
Iron, wood, masonry fencing materials (?)
President Hibbs asked the Board members to be the liaison
for the various committees. A list of
the committees & liaisons may be viewed on the official Diamondhead website.
