BEACH RULES 2010

Silver Shores Home Owner’s Association
Beach Rules – 2010 Season
BEACH SECURITY and ACCESS:
• A homeowner must accompany guests at the beach.
• The beach combination is confidential. Do not give the combination to non-members.
• Members are asked to help the beach manager(s) and board by politely asking unknown people if they are with a homeowner. (Please don’t feel offended if you are the one being asked.)

BEACH USE AFTER HOURS:
(Background: The beach has been vandalized, used for campfires late at night & sometimes strewn with broken bottles & trash in the morning. Beach fires allowed until 10pm on weekdays and 11pm on weekends.
• To use the beach after these hours, contact the beach manager(s) before 10pm (voice message is sufficient).

RESERVING the BEACH:
• Groups of ten or more must contact the beach manager(s) to schedule an event.
Reservations for more than 45 people, or specific issues, such as driving a vehicle onto the beach, entertainment, etc. must be approved by the beach manager/board.
• Do not make a reservation for beach use unless dues are paid.
• During the event, leave space for other members to use the beach, dock and picnic area. Specifically, the reserved area includes the gazebo and first 2 picnic tables.
• Leave no trace of use after the event. Specifically, follow these cleaning guidelines:
o Clean the bathroom – toilet, sink, floor, and empty garbage
o Empty all garbage cans used and put in new liners (located on the bench)
o Deposit the garbage in your personal trash cans, not in the community trash cans.
o Separate any recyclables in the garbage and place in the recycling bins – do not mix.
o Pick up / clean up all of your belongings.
o Pick up any debris including cigarette butts.
o Replace goose fences
• Leave the beach as you would like to find it.

BEACH ETIQUETTE:
• The goal of the association is to maintain a family friendly atmosphere at the beach. Gatherings with excessive drinking and loud behavior belong elsewhere.
• Broken glass is a particular hazard at the beach. Please be aware of every bottle and make sure it gets to its proper disposal place.
• Dog owners are responsible to make sure their dog is not a nuisance to other beach users. If dogs bother other beach users, please leash them. Please pick up dog poop and place it in the trashcan away from the picnic area (bags available there also). Do not pitch into the city area – no fecal matter in lake.
• Boats should approach the dock area very slowly when swimmers are in the water.

RENTERS:
(Background: Renters have been heavy users of the beach area and sometimes have not been made aware of the beach rules. This section of the beach rules is to assure that the beach rules are known and to clarify the chain of responsibility concerning landlords and renters.)
• The landlord / homeowner is responsible for the behavior of the renters.
• All communication between the SSHOA and the renters will be through the landlord. The only exception will be simple coordination where there is no dispute.
• If the landlord is not available to coordinate communication between SSHOA and the renters during a dispute, the renters will lose access to the beach until the landlord becomes involved and the dispute can be resolved.
• Beach access is denied to a household of more than three unrelated adults, in violation of the city ordinance prohibiting such households.
• Renters are encouraged to come to the annual beach cleanup party to help and get to know members.
