2 2 COMMUNITY ACCESS CONTROL REGULATIONS Effective March 1, 2008, Supersedes previous versions PURPOSE The Board of Directors, under its authority in the C.C.&R s to "promote...health, safety and welfare of the residents," has established the Community Access Control Regulations contained herein. SCOPE These regulations govern resident and non resident access into the Canterwood community. ACCESS CONTROL DEVICES A number of technical means are being made available to accommodate the varied Canterwood access requirements of residents and valid non residents club members, guest, visitors, vendors, service providers, contractors, utilities, and emergency personnel. In each case where access technology is provided to an individual, the responsible individual initiating the Canterwood access is responsible for the use of their access device/authorization and for the actions of all individuals admitted to the community using their device/authorization. In all cases, the individual or organization requesting the device is responsible for the purchase and replacement costs of device(s) should they be lost, stolen, or upgraded as part of an overall community infrastructure program. The following regulations cover specific elements of Canterwood s access control program. 1. VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION STICKERS ALL Canterwood resident and non resident Canterwood Golf and Country Club member (social and equity) vehicles operating on the roads of Canterwood shall display a valid Canterwood Resident or Club Member Vehicle Identification Sticker in the lower left corner of their vehicle s windshield. Failure to display proper Vehicle Identification Stickers will result in a $50 fine and gate guards will require the vehicle to stop and register each time the resident/non resident enters Canterwood. No gate access device will be issued to or attached to a vehicle that does not display a valid Vehicle Identification Sticker. 2. VEHICLE GATE ACCESS DEVICES Vehicle Gate Access Devices are available to residents current on their assessments (dues) through the HOA office for a fee of $25 per device. Residents are authorized to purchase one (1) vehicle gate access devices per vehicle registered to their residence. Devices must be registered with the HOA office. These devices will allow resident access at all gates during the hours of that gate s operation. Residents are fully responsible for the use of their Vehicle Gate Access Devices. Misuse of any device may result in deactivation. 3. NON RESIDENT VEHICLE GATE ACCES All non residents must enter through the main gate and register with Security.

3 4. GATE ACCESS DIALER A automatic dialer is provided at the Peacock Hill, Baker Way, and Main gate and only allows for calls to Security. NON RESIDENT ACCESS Outside of the specific non resident groups identified above, all non residents must register at the main gate and show their drivers license upon arrival.

The level of information obtained from a non resident arrival may vary from Name, Destination, and Vehicle License to a more extensive set of information including Drivers License and Resident Approving Access. The guard procedures will be to turn away non resident arrivals not willing to provide this information or who may be on an unauthorized access list for documented violations. Access Control Monitoring and Video Monitoring/Recording 1.

4 3 CRIME NOTIFICATION REGULATIONS PURPOSE: The Canterwood HOA would like Canterwood residents to be aware of how to report crimes and incidents within the community. CRIMINAL ACTIVITY While Canterwood is a gated and private community, the laws of the State of Washington still apply. For law enforcement services and for reporting purposes, Canterwood is in the jurisdiction of the Pierce County Sheriff s Department. Consequently, any criminal activity that occurs within the Canterwood community should be reported directly to the Pierce County Sheriff s Department. If you are the victim of a crime, you are responsible for notifying the Pierce County Sheriff s Department. Emergency law enforcement requests should be reported by dialing 911. Non emergencies should be reported through a regular business telephone number. It is recommended that Canterwood Security also be notified in order to provide assistance if necessary and to create an accurate crime report for Canterwood. VEHICLE LAWS Because the roads in Canterwood are private, moving violations such as speeding and running of stop signs should be reported to Canterwood Security. More serious vehicle infractions such as hit and run accidents, hit and run property damage accidents, reckless driving, drunk driving, and driving without a license should first be reported to Pierce County Sheriff by calling 911.
