 COMMUNITY IRRIGATION

NOTICE

Sarasota is beginning it's drier season now and the County continues to make repairs to their facility and resulting in the water pressure issues that we continue to see.  Please keep in mind that the HOA's Community Irrigation Valve is programmed to  be opened on Monday and Thursdays, from 12:01 AM through 11:59 PM. 


​If for some reason the HOA needs to keep the Valve opened on  a continuing basis, due to the County Reuse Water pressure issue, owners watering on days that a re not approved will get a violation notice from Argus.  Please make sure you change your irrigation controller clocks to meet these time schedules. We recommend that during this season, owners only set each zone for a 30min period. If you are planting new plants or installing a new landscape plan that has been approved by the HOA then additional watering will be allowed during these days.

LAKE REPAIR UPDATE: 03-31-2020

Lake Repairs: The HOA Board has not accepted the completion of Lake #2. After having the lake inspected by an independent contractor several issues were identified.  This information was turned over to CrossCreek and to our Legal Counsel.   

This resulted in a meeting with attorneys and a new plan to resolve the issues along the banks of Lake#2. 

A mechanical dredge is needed to be brought in to complete the fill and sodding properly on the banks.  The project is to begin in the first week of January 2021.  In the meantime,  Lake #3 is going to be started with a new company to meet our 5-7 year commitment of completing all 5 lakes.

Special Community Information
​

Using the DoorKing 1837 Telephone Entry

System,  Call Box

CLICK ICON FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS

Each Homeowner needs to submit their phone number that will be used for guest to call you, allowing you to release the gate. This can be your home phone number and/or cell phone number. Complete the form below to have your phone number entered into the Call Box.

 Call Box Instructions below:

Call Box Instructions
Security Gate Opening Instructions

When a visitor arrives at the security gates, during controlled access, and they want to gain entry, you will need to know the following:

First, your visitor needs to be instructed to use the RIGHT SIDE (VISITOR/GUEST) entry gate away from the Guard House and pull up to the DoorKing Call Box.  Once they are located at the Call Box they will see a welcome screen with instructions. Follow the instructions on the screen and scroll through the call box listings screen until they locate your last name.  They may also choose to use a DIRECTORY CODE (3 Digit) to call you if you have given it to them, which eliminates the scrolling. (Note: at no time is your phone number displayed.)

The three-digit number, which they typed in and then PUSH CALL Button, this will call the phone number that you have registered with the HOA for the DoorKing Call Box.  At this time, after answering, you would identify the caller.  If it is someone you wish to allow to enter you would press the number “9” on your home or cell phone and the gate will open, then after the vehicle has safely passed through, the gate will close.  DO NOT HANG UP THE PHONE! if you wish to end the call - PRESS the # Key to disconnect or your line will stay active until the gate terminates the call which could be a couple of minutes.  In some cases you will need to press the "9" key a couple of time rapid sequence depending on the style of cell phone you have.
​
If there is a problem at the gate, a visitor or contractor can call the Argus emergency number which will is posted above the Call Box for entry or you can let them in by going to the gate and use your remote fob, but they will have to switch lanes and enter in the Resident Gate Side.
