MEMORANDUM
To: Residents of The Greens
From: The Board of Directors
Date: November 17, 2010
Re: Parking Policy, Alarm Monitoring, Pool Area Re-Key and 2011 Budget Meeting Date
Dear Residents of the Greens,
Please be advised that the following notice contains information regarding important policy alterations and two notices that you should be aware of:
1. Parking Policy and Enforcement
Due to various infractions occurring on a regular basis in the Community, including overnight on-street parking, unregistered vehicles and persons parking in other Residents’ driveways, effective December 1, 2010 the Association will begin a strict towing policy for vehicles in violation.
Signs have been posted at the entrance of the community with the required retrieval contact information. Towing will be at the vehicle owner’s expense.
The parking policy can be found in Section 8.08 of your Association Declaration Covenants and Restrictions (DCR’s), as well in related sections in the Master HOA DCR’s and the Greens Rules & Regulations booklet and states in sum and substance:
Only private passenger vehicles may be parked overnight in The Greens (and the Boca Country Club). No vehicles can be parked on any roadway between 2:00am-6:00am. Trucks, pickup trucks, commercial vans, boats, campers and recreational vehicles may not be parked within the confines of The Greens (and the Boca Country Club) between 6:00pm and 8:00am. Motorcycles are not permitted in the Boca Country Club unless approved by your HOA and the Master Association. No parking on the grass is permitted at anytime.
2. Alarm Monitoring by the Master Association
As discussed at prior meetings and correspondence:
a. The Master Association will no longer be providing security monitoring as of December 31, 2010.
b. In consideration of high expense to update the current monitoring system to meet current code compliance, the Master Association has voted on an Amendment to the Master Declaration, specifically deleting Article 6.19 that requires each unit
in the community be equipped with a centrally monitored electronic security system.
c. Various private security monitoring companies are available to you should you wish to engage their services for the monitoring of your home at your own expense.
3. Pool Area Re-Key – Saturday December 4, 2010 10:00a-2:00p
(at Greens Pool)
a. As a second phase of the pool area gate security upgrading, new locks will be installed on the pool area gates and bathroom doors.
b. These locks will utilize Medico keys that cannot be duplicated.
c. Each resident will receive one (1) new key, and duplicates can be provided for. Lost or additional keys are available at a cost of $50.00 per key.
d. Homeowners more than ninety (90) days delinquent paying their Association dues or any fees assessed to their account will not be issued a key, pursuant to State statute.
e. The re-key will occur on Saturday, December 4th.
f. Keys will be available at the Pool area between 10 AM and 2 PM on Saturday, December 4th.
g. After that date, keys can then be mailed to Residents that are not able to pick-up their keys. An alternate date for pick-up on property will be announced at a future date if it becomes necessary to do so.
h. Only homeowners may pick-up these keys. Renters must be given these keys by the respective homeowners as it is the homeowners responsibility to ensure the key is not lost and is in the appropriate parties hands.
4. 2011 Budget Meeting – Thursday December 2, 2010 6:00pm
The budget meeting for The Greens will be held on Thursday December 2, 2010 at 6:00pm, at 1800 Corporate Blvd. N.W., Suite 303 Boca Raton.
