Sandyport Homeowners AssociationAt it’s July 2011 meeting, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Edward Chemaly and appointed Edward Gardner as his replacement. The Directors would like to thank Mr. Chemaly for his contribution during his tenure and welcome Mr. Gardner.
Board of Directors (in alphabetical order):
All water distributed within the Sandyport development is provided through a main feed from Water & Sewerage Corporation and is metered individually by the Association. During the hot summer months consumption tends to increase, particularly with the use of irrigation systems. Therefore we would like to remind all residents to adopt good practices for the use and consumption of water. Please click here for over 100+ tips to help reduce your water consumption.
In order to create a consistent look across the development, effective July 1, 2011 trimming will be scheduled on demand by zone as set out in the trimming requests page.
Warm Greetings to all of our Residents!
Thankfully, April has been another quiet month!
As you may have noticed, some of the speed bumps have been removed. With this in mind, please be mindful of children who may be playing in the area especially on the weekends. As a reminder, the speed limit is 15 mph. We are adding more signs throughout the property in the coming weeks.
Pet Stations have been put in place throughout the property. These stations are to assist pet owners dispose of their pet’s waste. I would encourage all pet owners to use them as they take their pets walking.
We have been having an ongoing problem with pets being a nuisance to other residents, in particular cats. Please as much as possible keep your pets within the confines of your property.
As an additional reminder, the Canal gate opens at 7am and closes 9pm. Please adhere to the time that is stipulated. Only in cases of emergencies, should there be a request for the times to be extended. We are monitoring channel 72 on our ship-to-shore radio.Boats that enter and leaving the Canal at late hours are a disturbance to other Residents.
Finally, please remember to instruct workers to use the Service Gate.

Warm Greetings to all of our Residents!
There are a few notices I would like for all residents to keep in mind in the upcoming weeks.
As the summer months are approaching, residents will be taking advantage of the beach. I want to advise all residents to be cautious, because the beach under the bridge leads to the road and is also used by the public. Residents should remain aware of their surroundings while on the beach and alert Security if there is someone that they are not comfortable with and we will call the police.
In addition, we are still having ongoing problems with residents not being considerate by not taking along a doggy bag and cleaning after their pets. We are asking residents to cooperate with us by being considerate in this matter. Please be advised that we are planning to install disposal stations in the coming weeks.
Please note that a Security Officer is posted at the Tambearly School entrance gate between the hours of 8am – 9am (during school days) to assist with traffic flow. We are asking parents who are dropping off children to assist us by moving their vehicle as quickly as possible after drop off or pick up. You will note that we recently imposed a 5 minute parking time limit in this area. We will be creating additional parking spaces in the near future to further ease congestion.
Finally, there is a concern that some residents are purchasing barcode stickers to give to their family members who do not reside in Sandyport. This is an unsafe practice and we will refuse applications and disable barcodes that are found to be used by non-residents.

Warm Greetings to all of our residents!
Thankfully, the month February was another quiet month for the Security Department.
You may have noted from our website that we have implemented the new Barcode System. Some residents have already taken advantage of this system. However, I would like to encourage all residents to make use of this system as it will be beneficial to you. It will allow you quicker entrance by preventing the long waiting time sometimes experience due to traffic congestion. The Barcode labels can be purchased from the Business Office at a cost of $50.00 and placed on your vehicle by Security.
Caution: Please be advised that when entering through the Service gate, cars with the Barcode must pull straight through without lingering. If you have to speak to the Security Officer posted at the gate I would recommend that you drive through the gate and park your vehicle on the side (clear of traffic) and then proceed to walk the booth. This is to prevent damage to your vehicle, because the gate will automatically come down (we are working to remedy this!)
Fire Drill:
On Monday March 7, 2011, the Fire Department drove through Sandyport and made their recommendations on how we can improve our fire safety. One of the recommendations was for all residents to install fire alarms in their homes, which should be connected to their burglar alarms. This will ensure that the Fire Department is alerted.

We are pleased to advise that we have relocated the offices for the Association to Lagoon Court in Sandyport Olde Towne Mall. Please refer here for current contact information.
If you are accustomed to paying your bills at the Association’s office, you may continue to do so by leaving payment at reception with the address of the account being paid noted on the cheque. If you do not note the address of the account being paid, this may delay processing so please ensure this information is included with your payment.
In September 2010, we carried out a poll to establish if residents of Sandyport would welcome an automatic entry system. The findings were very favourable and one has been installed at the middle gate of the main entrance and also the Eastern entrance gate.
The system works by reading a barcode that is attached to the right side of the vehicle at a height of about 50″ from the ground (plus or minus 12″) then automatically opening the barrier for authorised barcodes on entry only. The barcode is printed on a decal that will require application by our Security department.
We are pleased to confirm that the price for the decal has been set at $50, lower than the originally anticipated price of $100. We will be carrying out installation of the decals from March 1, 2011 and residents wishing to purchase them should observe the following guidelines:
Penalties for breaches of Restrictive Covenants
The Board has determined that the owners of lots that are in breach of the Restrictive Covenants shall be subject to a $1,000 fine for each month or part thereof that the breach persists.
Specifically, this is intended to dissuade owners from storing property such as trailers, containers, boats or other vehicles on empty lots. Fines shall be imposed from April 1, 2011 and be subject to our standard debt collection procedures and penalties in the event that they remain unpaid.
Penalties for property stored on common areas
Pursuant to the notice issued on November 23, 2010 concerning the removal of property from common areas, the Association reserves the right to remove said property and sell it to recover removal costs.
The Board has determined that any property that is removed by the Association shall be stored at a cost of $1,000 per month (or part thereof) per item for a period of 3 months. Thereafter, the property shall be sold and any proceeds applied to the owner’s account.
Restricted entry for residents not in good standing
The Board has determined that residents with past due accounts or those that are in breach of the Restrictive Covenants may not enter the property via the main entrance. Our security team will be issued with a restricted entry list and will refuse entry at the main entrance to those listed residents and their visitors.
Use of boat slips
The Board has determined that only boats registered to residents may use the boat slips within Sandyport and registration details must be filed with our security department. Boats moored in slips that are not registered with residents of Sandyport shall not be permitted re-entry into the development.
Warm Greetings to our Residents.
Thankfully, January was yet another quiet month for Security.
There are few noteworthy changes within the Security Department, firstly, as you may have noticed the Security Officers are wearing new uniforms. The uniform has changed from white shirts and aqua pants and skirts. It is now white shirts, black pants or skirts, and black caps.
Secondly, new bicycles were purchased for the Security Officers to use. The bicycles will assist greatly with the Officers responding quickly to emergency calls.
There are some reminders I would like for all Residents to keep in mind.
