BOARD APPROVED. Revised and adopted July 16th, 2024

 

Section 5. GENERAL CLUB FACILITIES RULES & REGULATIONS

​

5.1. Age Restrictions

​

1. Residents and guests under the age of eighteen (18) must be accompanied by an adult (18 or older) when using the Club Facilities.

 

2. Children under the age of eighteen (18) are not permitted to use the club facilities, grounds, or amenities without a parent or guardian. Parents or Legal Guardians of children under the age of eighteen (18) must execute the Informed Consent, Release & Waiver Agreement. Parents of minors ages ten (10) to seventeen (17) must complete Appendix A in order for said minor to be able to utilize the Fitness Center / Yoga Room.

 

3. Out of respect for all who use the Fitness Center/Yoga Room, anyone who is unable to properly utilize the equipment or space as intended is not permitted in the area at any time. Children under the age of 10 are not permitted to use the Fitness Center or Yoga room at any time.

 

4. Children under the age of sixteen (16) are not permitted to use the spa/hot tub at any time. The spa is set to a therapeutic temperature for adults which is not suitable for children.

 

5. Parents or legal guardians shall be responsible for the actions and safety of such minors, and for any damages to the Club Facilities, the Fitness Center and/or the equipment in the Fitness Center caused by such minors.

 

6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if minors use the Club Facilities in violation of these Rules or without the proper execution of a consent form or without adult supervision, the Association, its officers, directors, agents, employees, affiliates, and attorneys shall not assume any liability resulting from the actions of such minors.

​

5.2. Dress Code

​

Proper dress is required in Club Facilities at all times, and specific attire may be designated by the Association from time to time at its sole discretion. Unless otherwise specified, appropriate casual attire and footwear is required in all areas of the Club Facilities at all times for all residents and guests. Upper body garments must be worn in all settings, except for men using aquatic facilities. Appropriate athletic apparel is required in all indoor and outdoor sports areas, including proper footwear.

​

5.3. Interference with Employees

​

Club Members are expected to abide by the Governing Documents and these Rules and Regulations, and to conduct themselves in a courteous and respectful manner at all times. Any inattention to duty, or discourtesy on the part of a Club Staff member should be immediately reported to the Manager or designee. However, under no circumstances will Club Members or guests interfere with, attempt to discipline or otherwise direct employees or contractors as they conduct the Association’s business and/or during the discharge of their duties.

5.4. Safety Rules

 

Any Club Member or guest not adhering to posted, or otherwise obvious safety rules may be asked to leave the premises. With respect to safety, proper decorum, and sanitation, the Club Staff's judgment will prevail in all instances. Any complaint relating to Club Staff decisions may be later appealed to the Manager or designee; however, until the disposition of such an appeal, the Association Staff’s decision stands. Arguing, being abusive, or being otherwise challenging to Club Staff is deemed inappropriate behavior and may result in further disciplinary action.

​

5.5. Purpose of Club Facilities’ Use

 

5.5.1 For-profit Business Use

 

The Club Facilities are not intended to be used to provide a venue or forum where individuals or entities might foster or promote for-profit or commercial business interests or to otherwise use the Club Facilities for personal monetary or in-kind gain.

 

5.5.2 Not-for-profit Activities
Club Members may use the Club Facilities for club, society, social, party, religious, political, charitable, fraternal, fundraising or other not-for-profit purposes with the prior written consent of the Manager or designee, which consent may be withheld for any lawful reason. The Association and Management reserve the right to require the use of a specific location in the Club Facilities and/or to charge a fee for the use of the Club Facilities, and to otherwise promulgate terms and conditions as necessary for such usage..

 

5.6. No Smoking

​

The Association provides a smoke-free environment for its Members and guests in all parts of the Club Facilities and surrounding areas. No smoking of any kind (including, but not limited to, “e-cigarettes”) is permitted within fifty (50) feet of the perimeter of the Clubhouse or other Club Facilities.

​

5.7. Alcoholic Beverages

​

Alcohol Beverage Consumption and Distribution Policy (See Appendix E).

 

1. Alcohol that is sold for consumption must be under the auspices of a liquor license. Whether alcohol is sold under license, or dispensed in a private party setting, the event sponsor remains responsible for the propriety of the event.

 

2. The Association may revoke individual privileges in the event consumption is perceived to cause a threat or nuisance to Staff, residents, other Members of the Association or their guests.

 

3. In all situations, Members are prohibited from selling or furnishing alcohol to any person under the age of 21 or otherwise in violation of any State or local liquor control laws.

​

4. Alcoholic beverages shall not be sold on premises of the Club Facilities, except at pre-approved special events. Patrons will be required to hire a licensed and insured vendor of alcoholic beverages, and they must provide proof to the Association prior to the event. Excessive noise that will disturb other residents and guests is not permitted.

​

5.8. Indirect Club Facilities’ Supervision

​

The Club Facilities are operated in a manner in which they are not directly supervised. The Association is not in a position to continually police the Club Facilities. Members are, therefore, asked to immediately report any inappropriate behavior that they may witness to Management or, in its absence, to Club Staff.
