  UPDATE - Status of Vehicle Decal  

April 1, 2010

DECAL SYSTEM UPDATE

Dear Owner or Resident:

            We have scheduled the deployment of the new decal issuing system for April 12, 2010.  We know that there will be numerous cases of existing decals that will not work at first with the new system; this is the result of incomplete data from the old system and data entry errors while loading data into the new system.

Therefore, we are deploying the new system in a manner to minimize the opportunities for backups, especially at the North and South gates.

The NORTH and SOUTH gates will be CLOSED on April 12.  All entry into and exit out of The Landings must be through the MAIN GATE.

When entering the Main Gate, use the RESIDENT’S entry lane.  If the decal fails to open the gate, we will have an additional security at that lane to capture the vehicles decal information.  This data will be entered into the system periodically throughout the day to validate the decal.

After the North and South Gates are reopened, use the MAIN GATE resident’s lane for vehicles whose decals have not yet been validated so that they may be entered into the system if necessary.

            Decal issuance guidelines are below.

            If you have been waiting to be issued a new decal, you may now provide the decal request form to the main gate, with a check payable to LMA for $5.00 if required. You will be called when the decal is ready for installation on the vehicle and the decal will be valid at the main gate when affixed to the vehicle.  It will be valid at the North and South Gates on when they reopen after April 12.

            If you are a tenant, the new system requires a lease expiration date.  We are missing this data for many existing decals.  Decals with no expiration will expire on June 2, 2010 unless corrected lease termination information is provided to the main gate.  This information must come from the owner of the property.

            I apologize in advance for the inevitable confusion and delays at the gates for the first couple of days.  Be assured we are dedicated to minimizing the “hassle.”

Regards, Richard U. Bayles
Secretary/Treasurer
The Landings Management Association, Inc.


GUIDELINES FOR AUTOMOBILE DECALS

            Automobile decals are issued to owners of properties in The Landings and their tenants for rentals longer than two months. 

            Decals are not issued for rental vehicles.

            Decal request forms are available at the main gate.  Return the form with all required information with a check payable to LMA for $5.00, if required.  The decal will be issued within 24 hours.  All decals are applied to the vehicle by a security officer at the main gate.

            The decal fee is not required for vehicles of new owners or for replacement of a malfunctioning decal.  It is required for replacement vehicles and for tenants.

            Decal requests for tenants must come from the property owner.  A valid lease expiration date longer than two months is required before the decal is issued.

When requesting a decal for a replacement vehicle, please provide the decal number on the old vehicle.  Otherwise, we don’t know which of the decals assigned to the property should be invalidated.  This may result in our invalidating the wrong decal for another vehicle that belongs to the owner.

       

 


Read the Revised Covenants

A copy of the proposed (Revised as of Jan 15, 2010) Covenant and other Document revisions can be viewed by hitting the button Document - Revisions under "Documents" in the right hand column.  These are revisions strictly to clean up archaic language and reference.  The committed states they have carefully avoided any substantive changes. Several were proposed.  They will be listed in the October issue of The Landings Eagle. 

Note:  The format of the document is such that the old language, proposed new language and deletions and correction are visible. It may prove complicated to read if you are not familiar with such formats.

Eagles Spotted

. . .in Eagles' Nest Area Dec 26, 2008, one year and a day from when they were first spotted.

     Dave Bewley, Kestral Parkway South, spotted the eagles for the first time in 2007.  He invited The Landings Eagle over for for a great photo op!

   They were near the nest built last year, presumably by the same pair, raising hopes they may return to raise a family.  ,  

   A couple pictures below.

Organizations please check the calendars at the Racquet Club for accuracy.  They are the source of 90 % of The Eagle's calendar entries.  We want these calendars to be as complete as possible.  If you have an event you'd like added to the calendar notify us by US Mail or e-mail.

www.LandingsEagle.com

We know a number of you are visiting the Eagle Internet site.  It now receives 8-10,000 page requests each month.

We know very little about what you like and don’t like about the site. Most of the “action” seems to take place in the huge files that carry the past and current issues.

A great deal of work goes into the site and the files take a great deal of space at our provider, increasing  the cost of maintaining the site. 

We believe www.LandingsEagle.com is an integral part of the service The Eagle provides to the Landings community.  But, we'd like to put our priorities on those features Landins use.

Let us hear from you.  We are considering what elements to retain and which ones we could discontinue. Tell us what features you like, which you can do without, and what we could add of importance to you.

E-mail is fine.
