3 BURNT STORE MARINA OVERVIEW Burnt Store Marina is a community of approximate 1920 residences, or units, spread out over 600 acres with a diverse assortment of housing styles. We have independent single homes and over 40 neighborhood associations with single homes, duplexes, tri-plexes, four-plexes and high rise condominiums. The neighborhood associations have boards of directors and collect operating fees from their residents. The master association for all of BSM, including independent homes, is commonly referred to as Section 22 HOA. It collects an annual fee through its property manager to cover the maintenance of the common areas, roads, access systems and infrastructure. Residents of the Prosperity Point gated island have an additional board between their neighborhood associations and the Section 22 HOA board. Our community is also unique in that it is one of the few gated communities with both a 27-hole golf course and a marina. In fact, the marina is the largest deep water marina on the west coast of Florida. Additionally, there is a fitness center with both workout equipment and classes, tennis courts and a swimming pool. Don t forget to visit our 3 restaurants, Cass Cay and the Trading Post down at the marina, and, Linkside Café at the golf club. One very big advantage to living at BSM is our community access system which is in effect at all 3 of the points of entry: front gatehouse manned 24/7, and the 2 entries on Vincent Ave. The Matecumbe Key Rd. gatehouse is manned during the day, and, the Cape Cole Blvd. entry at the golf course has electronic gates (with cameras). This is a highly effective system incorporating the Gatekeeper System and bar codes issued for resident vehicles. Complex? A bit, but included in this packet of information is the annual Burnt Store Marina Address Directory & Information Guide. Not only does it have a map of the community, but it also lists all the neighborhoods and their codes so you know what association a new friend lives in. Plus, you will find frequently called and disaster emergency information numbers, resident contact information, Section 22 HOA Bylaws, rules governing the use of golf carts, local businesses and the list goes on. There is no reason not to know what is happening at Burnt Store Marina. The Beacon is our monthly newspaper featuring Board and resident contributions. It s delivered by neighborly volunteers to your door or to the lobby of your condominium. Additional copies are located at the BSGAC office, Harbormaster s office and Fitness Center. Be sure to take note of the Mark Your Calendar feature in The Beacon for meeting dates of Section 22 HOA Board, Burnt Store Book Club, Photography Club, morning bicycling group, local farmers markets and area events. If you re a beginner or an avid fisherman, there s the Burnt Store Anglers club and a monthly fishing article. There are several ways to help you settle in as an active community member: This is the primary site for Section 22 HOA, the governing body, and includes information on the Board of Directors with meeting dates and minutes, committees, downloadable documents, and, a file of the current and past monthly Beacon editions. blasts are posted, such as voting information, boil water notices, monthly calendar and more. Under the Amenities & Services dropdown menu, you will find a list of our local vendors, whose support enables us to provide the Directory and Beacon to you.

It is a members-only club which features both water and land activities The Fitness Center, located on Matecumbe Key Rd. opposite the boat ramp, doesn t have a website.

Renters of unit owners, for a period of more than 2 months, may apply for a self-terminating bar code. An administrative fee of $30 per season will be due at the time of application. 5. Rental cars for unit owners who occupy their units intermittently, with a rental vehicle not registered in their name, may apply for issuance of a self-terminating bar code or temporary bar code.

Upon notification, the bar code shall be disabled. 10. The Master Association Manager shall not issue a new bar code for any newly acquired vehicle that otherwise would qualify for a bar code unless the previously issued bar code assigned to the resident/owner has been disabled. If the new vehicle is in addition to the existing registered vehicles, a copy of the registration must accompany the application. 11. The Access Control Supervisor or CAC will review all applications before a bar code will be issued. All bar codes shall be permanently affixed to the vehicle by the Access Control Supervisor or a duly authorized member of CAC. 12. On a regular basis bar codes that have not been used in a one year period will be disabled by the Access Control Site Manager.

Any unauthorized use of a bar code may result in an automatic one year deactivation of all bar codes held by that resident owner or bar code holder. Anyone who has lost the privilege of a bar code may appeal this loss to the Section 22 HOA Board of Directors. The use of hand held bar codes not affixed to the vehicle is considered an unauthorized use. Before a bar code is issued to any resident their status as a member in good standing of Section 22 HOA must be verified by the Master Association Manager. As approved by the BOD, CAC may authorize the issuance of bar codes to full time employees of businesses or organizations within BSM that provide a list of current employees and will agree to provide notices of personnel changes. Each bar code decal will be subject to a $30 administration fee for these non-resident commercial or organization employees. The Control Access Committee is a standing resident committee tasked by the Board of Directors to advise them on issues of security and gate entry.

9 BURNT STORE MARINA GATEKEEPER VISITOR ACCESS SYSTEM INFORMATION The computer automated guest control access system is designed to allow guests and visitors whom you have designated on a pre cleared list to be granted quick and easy access through the front gate or the commercial (back) gate. Additionally, if you expect single-visit guests or service personnel, the system can authorize entrance to single entry or infrequent guests or service personnel. Call the Gatekeeper automated system at Provide the name of the guest or the service company and the expected time of the visit. This one-time clearance is cancelled after the designated visit or date. The Gatekeeper Resident & Permanent Visitor Information Form needs to be updated, filled out and sent to the front gate site manager. Any additions and deletions to this form must also be made in writing to the front gate site manager. Our residents use the Gatekeeper system. The system will deny entry to anyone not on the permanent list, anyone not been pre cleared by a phone call, or, if a call by the Access Control officer to the resident finds there to be no one home to authorize entrance. This is for your protection to prevent unauthorized visitors. A call will always be made before anyone is denied entry. Further provisions are available to identify those persons who you do not wish to allow entry to your residence. Notify the front gate site supervisor in writing if you wish to place restrictions on specific Guests. Please remember to update the system should any information change, including your preferred phone number. -7- Rev. 12/2016

10 Renting Your Property? Dear Burnt Store Marina Owners, Are you a BSM owner who rents, leases or loans their units? Too often renters arrive at the Front Gate and report that they are renting a unit but have no information other than the address. Often, they have no paperwork, such as a lease or rental agreement, and no contact number for the unit owner. Sometimes the unit owners are in the Gatekeeper system but the listed phone is for the local unit and not for the owners. While the renters may have the keys to the property (and this is not always the case) they have no documentation that they are authorized to occupy the property. When guests/renters arrive without paperwork and ask for entry, and we have no way of contacting the unit owner, the Front Gate personnel use their best judgment in allowing entry by documenting as well as possible the renters. They do this by examining and copying the driver s license and entering the data into the Gatekeeper system as a renter. In order to properly manage users/renters entry you should provide a written agreement, such as a lease agreement copy, rental agreement, a letter of authorization or a Renter s Gate Access Form (found in the welcome packet or on the BSM website, indicating the guest, user or renter can enter your property. This can also be done by to securitybsm@gmail.com. This paperwork should have the name and current phone number of the unit owner and the name of the individual using the property. It will allow the renter to be entered into the computerized Gatekeeper, so that when they arrive, they will already be in the system. It makes it easier for a renter s guests to gain entry, as well. This requirement will go a long way in preventing unauthorized entry into your property and will facilitate a smooth first experience for your guest or renter at Burnt Store Marina. Your renters/guests will receive information at the main gate explaining the guidelines and rules for living in BSM. Owners may want to pick up that information to give to their renters before arrival onsite. These guidelines are to assure that your guest/renter will have a wonderful experience at Burnt Store Marina on arrival. Thank you for your assistance. -8- Rev 12/2016
