Porter Place Homeowners Association
Gate Operation
Procedures
Remote click-cards,
personal codes and vendor codes can be arranged through our manager. The personal code is for use by
you and your family 24 hours a day. The vendor code is for use by any vendors you may have coming,
including regular vendors such as lawn maintenance services
and occasional vendors such as contractors.
If
your gate codes are ever compromised you should immediately
contact the manager to create new
codes.
Be
sure you have provided all of your regular vendors with your
vendor code. (lawn maintenance, lawn chemical treatment
services, pool service, nanny, housekeeper, pest control,
etc.)
The following general vendors have been
provided with a code by the
Association:

Provide your vendor code in advance to all
drivers of oversized delivery/construction vehicles. When
trucks arrive at the gate without your vendor code they are
doing damage to the guardhouse, blocking the entrance and
following in behind other vehicles, which jeopardizes the
gates. Also instruct these drivers to use the mini keypad on
the outside column.
Remember, vendor codes work Monday
through Saturday 7:00a.m. – 6:00p.m. If you are expecting a
delivery by an oversized vehicle after those hours or on
Sunday, you must make arrangements in advance to meet them at
the gate with your clicker to let them in. Please do not
provide your personal 24-hour code to vendors.
When you
enter at the resident gate, be sure your clicker has engaged
the gate and that it is in the full open and stopped position
before you proceed through the gate.
Do not follow in
other cars without being sure your clicker has engaged the
gate and that it is in the full open and stopped
position.
Do not follow in other cars through the
visitor entrance. You must stop and enter your own code and
wait for the gate to be in the full open and stopped position
before proceeding.
Notify all guests that they must
call you from the visitor callbox and that they are not to
follow in behind other cars.
Be sure to notify Management if your phone number changes so that they can
program it into the callbox.
Make sure all members of
your household are aware of the code to enter through the
pedestrian gates. For your children’s safety, they should be
instructed to use the pedestrian gate and should never walk or
ride a bike in behind a car through the vehicle gates.
(Contact Management to obtain the pedestrian gate
code.)
The following is from the June 27, 2006
minutes: “The Board discussed and agreed that for the
safety and security of the community, when the gates are
closed permanently on July 10, 2006, that the gates will not
be allowed to be open for parties, garage sales, open houses,
etc. The only exception will be that if the Board chooses to
sponsor an annual garage sale, as has been done historically
in November, then the gate would be open for that
community-wide event. The manager will be
directed to no longer open the gates for individual homeowner
functions.”
We need
everyone’s cooperation to insure the proper operation of the
gates and the safety of our residents. It is important that
all vehicles slow down at the gate and take the few extra
seconds to be sure the gates are engaged to the full open and
stopped position before proceeding.
