Sandy Point Newsletter: May 2022

SECURITY
In our AGM, we announced that we would host a Special General Meeting to decide on the security measures to implement for 2022. A suggestion to appoint a sub-committee of residents to make recommendations to the Board was adopted. A notice to all residents inviting them to partake in the process was sent out. Our new Trustee, Charen van der Walt is in charge of this process and we await feedback on the progress of this committee. We expect to have recommendations by the end of May and will be able to host the Special General Meeting soon there after.

SQUATTERS
We still await feedback from the investigator of the Green Scorpions with regards to the removal if the squatters and the pump houses.

CONSTRUCTION
We expect to have an increasing number of homes being built in the latter part of the year, which means a lot of traffic and activity. I ask that the home owners ensure that their contractors keep their staff on site and ensure that they drop them off and pick them up every day. Consideration of neighbours is important regarding noise, mess and building splatter, and working later than the approved hours, with special permission.

SPEED LIMITS
The speed limit inside the estate is 30km per hour and must be adhered to at all times. There are more and more families moving into the Estate, and pedestrian traffic will increase accordingly. It is important to be aware of the safety of pedestrians, and speeding will only endanger their safety. To this end we will be monitoring the speeding habits of drivers and will take action against offenders accordingly.

NOISE
Our conduct rules stipulate a no-noise policy, and we will be proposing relevant measures to control noise pollution in the Estate. Consideration makes for good neighbours, and we encourage
you all to approach these issues with a positive attitude. Please be mindful when installing generators, air conditioners, etc. and when using power tools over weekends and special holidays. We ask that you have a copy of our rules available for tenants and bring it to their attention.

GATES
The problem with the gates remains a contentious one. It seems that drivers cannot see the gates at night when there is load shedding, so we will be implementing interventions to improve the visibility and reduce the damage to the gates. We ask that you be patient when driving through the gates to lessen the chance of mis-calculations.

BOARDWALKS
This item will be discussed at the special general meeting to be held shortly. In the meantime, I remind you all that you are not to disturb the vegetation or create any pathways or landscaping in the admiralty area. If you do, you are at serious risk if fines and/or imprisonment from department of environmental affairs. If you have created any disturbance on this part of the beach area, I recommend that you rehabilitate it immediately. We have sent out numerous reminders and warnings, and cannot be held liable for any infringements by home owners.

If you have any queries or suggestions please don’t hesitate to email them to Kevin at locomotionmedia@twomoons.co.za or to Elizabeth at sandypointbeachestate.hoa@gmail.com and we will address them as soon as we are able.

Drive safe and stay healthy,
Regards from the Chairman’s desk
