At 11:02 last night a person walked out of Surf Pines and then turned around and proceeded to destroy the exit gate by lifting it back and forth till it ripped off the actuator. We have the person on Video and some still shots that Ken will take to the police tomorrow. We are asking if anyone can identify this person to help the Sherriff catch him. The bad news is that the actuator was torn out (even the old gate would not been able to handle this). So it will be a very expensive repair. The good news is that even if this person has no money our property coverage should…

If you noticed both the entrance and exit gates have been knocked down earlier this week. This was a result of the wind not a car blasting though. On October 24 Sunday the entrance gate was blown down at 4:08 PM and on Tuesday October 26 the exit gate was knocked down at about 9 AM.

They agreed to move forward and below is the next step to implement new STR rules and implement a moratorium in September till they can be completed. We have had several people in our community who are strongly for or against having STR’s.
