GATECOURTESY OFFICER REMINDERS

The holidays brought many visitors to our neighborhood and new residents are always moving in Based on the large number of gates arms and courtesy officers we have periodically issues and malfunctions occur Below are a few important things to remember regarding our gate operationsbull Be sure to add visitors and vendors to your quickpass guest

access list If they are not on your list they will not be allowed in the community Based on how busy the gate is the officer will try to call but it is easier for everyone if visitors and vendors are on your list

bull Sometimes we have new officers and they are in training please have patience as they learn the system

bull Remember there is a permanent and temporary visitor list Be sure to put your visitors in the appropriate category That said if a visitor is on anyonersquos permanent list they can get in to the community

bull Ensure there is adequate spacing between cars for transponder to be read

bull The keypad at Hardy Oak and Wilderness Oak gates is only available for use midnight to 600am To use it during these times you must know your resident code At all other times visitors must check in with the courtesy officers
