RECREATION AREA USE POLICY

Effective September 1, 2009

The ACPOA recreation area adjacent to the marina, as part of the common areas of the community, is intended for the use and enjoyment of all association members in good standing and is, in general, available at all time to such residents. However, on special occasions, a resident will need a large area in which to host a special function. Historically, the recreation area has been made available, on a reservation basis, to fulfill that requirement. That practice continues with this Recreation Area Use Policy effective as of May 1, 2006 and updated September 1, 2009.

A. Only resident members in good standing of the ACPOA may make Recreation Area reservations.

B. Reservations are required for parties of 10 or more persons, with a maximum of 50 persons in a reserved party.
C. Purpose of the reservation will be disclosed.
D. No single party may reserve the entire area. Two picnic tables and one barbecuing pit must remain open throughout the party assembly.
E. Reservations will involve no commercial enterprise for profit.
F. No automobile parking by any non-resident participants of the event will be permitted in the recreation area parking lot. Where practicable, party participants should be asked to park automobiles near the party sponsor’s residence.
G. Total clean-up and disposal of all rubbish, trash, etc., created by the event will be completed immediately after the event by the party host (or agent).

H. Reserving party is responsible for all damage, breakage that may result from the “party” activity.
I. Reserving party is responsible for the conduct of participants in the party and should keep in mind that serving of alcohol to minors is an infraction of existing law. Also, after 7:00 p.m., please exercise noise discipline by turning down any loud music or other loud devices which may disturb the tranquility of the Annapolis Cove community. Any violation of existing laws by a party participant is the responsibility of the resident reserving the recreation area.
J. Public advertising for an event via local newspapers, bulletin boards, etc., should be held to a minimum, and shall be worded so as not to mislead the public that our community area is a rental site for non-residents. Advertisements should specifically list the sponsoring resident when the resident is sponsoring an event for an outside organization.

RESERVATION CONTACT
Reservations may be made by contacting Evie Renz, steve-evie@msn.com or by mail at 3128 Catrina Lane, Annapolis, Md., 21403. No phone reservation requests will be accepted. All requests should contain at a minimum the following: Name, telephone number, address of the resident host, e-mail address, date/time required, number of guests, purpose of function, and proposed end time of the event. If a request is not acknowledged or responded to within 10 days please query, as spam protections and other cyberspace unknowns may capture the original request.

I WANT TO BUILD A DECK, ADD A GAZEBO, OR DO SOMETHING ELSE TO THE EXTERIOR OF MY PROPERTY. DO I NEED PERMISSION FROM THE COMMUNITY?
Yes, you do. Everyone agreed to abide by the community's covenants and bylaws, so you must have your plans for exterior work approved. Please do this IN ADVANCE of your project. It will save you headaches, time, and money. Submit your plans to Cheryl Haas, heyhaasie@verizon.net. Visit the architectural control page for details.

Please do not assume that your plans have been received just because you drop them in someone's mailbox. Call or email to confirm.
