The
Board Of Supervisors has engaged a new company to take over the Landscaping
in Coral Bay. Superior Landscaping was chosen as the lowest responsive bidder
and will begin catching up on many outstanding needs. The former company will
complete some tree trimming of palm fronds and coconuts. In addition to grass
and plant maintenance, the landscaping company is also responsible for the
district's irrigation system.
If
you notice any irrigation or landscaping problems, please contact the district
manager at the phone number found at the left of this article.
We will be addressing some of the areas of concern that have been brought
to our attention during the last few weeks.
We look forward to working with Superior to maintain and improve the appearance
of Coral Bay.

Pool
Area Bathrooms locked after hours
Vandalism
costs each homeowner money annually in repairs and security.
Due
to mischief and acts of vandalism, the three pool area restrooms will be deadbolt
locked after 10pm each night. The District has spent thousands of your hard
earned dollars cleaning up and repairing damage in these
areas over the past few
months.
Also, unseemly activity has occurred and the board of supervisor's is concerned
for the safety of all Coral Bay Residents. Please report vandalism to the
district Manager.
Inbound
Gates and guardhouse start june 15th
The
District has been busy working out minor technical issues with the gating
system and they will be operational on June 15th. The District will have a
guard on duty 24 hours a day at the guardhouse.
We will be putting speed bumps in at about the same time the gates will be
operational. Before we can place speed bumps on our roads, we must get a permit
from the city of margate. The city is currently developing its own city-wide
rules for speed bumps, so the permit will be delayed until margate finalizes
its rules.
The
city is concerned about the effect speed bumps have on emergency vehicles,
particularly fire and rescue vehicles.
Proper signage and markings will be required and the district has planned
for this in its decision to place these speed bumps near the gates.
Speed bumps are being placed in the community to reduce the speeding that
sometimes occurs. Also, some drivers are approaching the outbound gates too
fast and are damaging the gate arms.
Speed
Bumps will be installed in coordination with gate activation. It is hoped
that this will reduce speeding and damage to the gates by impatient drivers
Using
Your gate pass: Do's and don'ts
The
electronic gate pass is really a kind of radio transmitter that emits a special
code to a receiver that validates your pass and allows you to enter. It also
records your entry and exit from the community.
The system is designed to prevent stray signals from affecting the gate operation.
Here are some suggestions to help you when using the electronic gate pass:
DO try to place your gate pass on the upper left edge of your windshield about
2 inches from both edges of your vehicle.
DO enter the community through the proper gates. The proper gate is the one
that has the square receiver on the LEFT side of the vehicle.
Follow the instructions on the signs before each gate.
DO approach the gate slowly.
DON'T hold the pass with your hand or wave it around. This is not as effective
as placing the device on your vehicle.
DON'T use the wrong lane for entering the community. It is not likely that
the pass will work in the wrong lane.
DON'T presume that the pass will work like the Turnpike Sun Pass
system. That system is designed for speeds much greater than
our community needs.
DON'T hit the gate in frustration. It only costs all residents money.
