Sandyport Homeowners Association
Repairs to the canal inlet are in progress: To reduce the amount of sand infiltrating the inlet through the groin, a seawall is being integrated. We expect to reduce the amount of dredging necessary to keep the channel passable.
In January 2013 the Board circulated a notice that slips at the Sand Dollar Marina shall be subject to an annual fee of $4,200. Owners were advised to produce proof of entitlement to the free use of a slip if they believed such right existed. It has been established that slips 1, 2 and 5 through 11 are available for use at the Association’s discretion.
At a Board meeting on December 14, 2015 the Directors determined that the aforementioned slips shall be made available for use from February 1, 2016 by residents or owners subject to the following terms:
Slips will be allocated on a first paid basis subject to priority being given to non-waterfront lot owners, followed by existing slip users then all remaining residents / owners.
To reserve a slip, please put the request in writing to this office detailing the address and boat registration information and include payment of $1,773.75. Reservations are not secured until we confirm in writing accordingly. Unauthorised boats will be removed after January 31, 2016.
The Board has determined that access control will only apply to boats registered with Sandyport Security Services. Unregistered boats may continue to use the canal however will not be required to clear Security Control. All traffic passing through the canal inlet will continue to be subject to surveillance.
The registration requirements have been changed effective immediately and we ask that owners re-register in accordance with the following requirements:
Security Services will issue a permit in the form of an ID Card that bears a unique permit number, the vessel registration details and name of the owner. Users of registered boats will be required to stop and present their permit when passing Security Control at the canal inlet. If an attempt is made to remove a registered boat without presenting a valid permit, Security Services will deny egress and notify law enforcement if appropriate. Therefore ensure that the permit is kept safe and apart from the boat whenever it is not in use by authorised persons.
The following policies apply to permits:
The new procedures become effective January 1, 2014.
Work was stopped by the Authorities following a complaint concerning the environmental impact of the dredging to clear the canal inlet. Our legal team are working with the appropriate Government Departments and as soon as we receive the necessary clearance(s), work will resume.
We apologise for any inconvenience this causes, however we must comply with any orders issued by the Government.
Boaters should take care accessing the canal as the dredging work is not yet complete. It is recommended that only outboard motors should attempt to navigate the canal inlet during high tide. A boulder has become dislodged during the dredging work (shown below at low tide) and extra care should be taken to navigate around it. We will attempt to install a buoy to improve visibility.
