Heading: Security Gatehouses

Text: In addition to the Caribbean Island landscaping and other improvements noted above, the District will also pay for the construction and maintenance of three gatehouses to be staffed by security personnel to block all public access to the private Club. The District's official Plan provides: In addition, the Board of Supervisors has the power to provide, control ingress and egress, and maintain roads for the exclusive use and benefit of a Unit of Development and its landowners, residents and invitees. ... . The onsite roadway system [is] planned for the exclusive use and benefit of [the Club] and its landowners, residents, and invitees... . Peter Pimental, executive director of the District, testified as follows: A. Want me to explain? What we proposed to do is construct these gatehouses as Mr. Bennett testified and with those gatehouses would be the security people who would control the ingress and egress to the project and those people or persons who have reason to be inside would be allowed inside the project. Those that have no purpose or no reason to be there, will not be permitted to just wander through the project. Q. How would you define reason to be there? A. There would be service directed, service oriented persons, residents, invitees, guests, police, fire, emergency service, all of those would have access to the project. Q. So if I was out on a Sunday afternoon driving around, just wanted to ride through the District, I would be restricted under your rules? A. Yes. Q. So it is not open to the public at all? A. Perhaps not... . Thus, all on-site improvements within the Club  including the landscaping and roadway itself  that are paid for by the public District will be closed to the general public.
