CYPRESS LANDING DINGHY

 STORAGE FACILITY GUIDELINES

These guidelines are intended to reflect the intent and be consistent with the Cypress Landing Covenants and the August 22, 2006 HOA Board Resolution.

 Purpose:   The dinghy storage racks are intended to serve as an HOA amenity and convenience for property owners who have slips at the Marina.  It is not intended as an off site storage space for dinghies that are not used on a regular basis.

 1- Definition/Responsibility

The dinghy storage area is located below the walkway to the upper level of the Bay Club. Currently there are 12 storage spaces available.   The storage area comes under the responsibility of the Cypress Landing Master Home Owners Association (CLMHOA).  However the HOA has given operational management of the dinghy storage facility to the Marina Association. 

 The dinghy storage area is intended for the sole use of Marina Association slip holders who also currently have a boat located in their slip.

 2- Contact/Supervision

 Currently all 12 spaces are assigned to slip holders of the Cypress Landing Marina Association.

 There is a waiting list that is maintained by the dock master.  Individuals that desire dinghy storage space should contact the dock master and have their name placed on the list.  Effective January 1, 2007, only Cypress Landing property owners will be eligible for future space if and when they become available.  Current slip holders who have an assigned dinghy space but are not property owners at Cypress Landing will be grandfathered. 

 3- Space Allotment/Assignment

 Spaces have been assigned on a first come basis.  The waiting list will be used to fill any spaces that are relinquished

 If additional dinghy spaces are constructed, the waiting list will be used to fill those spaces

 4- Audit/Compliance 

The use of the storage area will be monitored by the dock master.   Users of the storage area are requested to notify the dock master when a space will be empty for an extended period of time or is no longer required.   Users are required to properly maintain their dinghies.  Owners of dinghies that are deemed to be not seaworthy will be asked to remove their dinghy and vacate their assigned space.   If it becomes apparent that a dinghy has not been used for 12 consecutive months, the dock master may approach the dinghy owner and ask them to justify continued use of the rack space. 

 5- Security

 Should a hurricane or storm be imminent, space holders may be directed by the dock master to remove or secure their stored dinghies.  Space holders are permitted to secure their dinghies with locking devices.  Covers for dinghies are also permitted.  Storage of motors and gasoline is not permitted in the storage area.

 6- Maintenance

 The storage areas are intended to be a “no cost” amenity.  The Marina Board reserves the right to perform periodic maintenance of the racks and storage area and may require that all dinghies be removed for such maintenance. 

 7 – Association Indemnification:

 With the completion of the Dinghy Rack Application, the space holder acknowledges and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Cypress Landing Master Homeowners Association (CLMHOA) and the Marina Association (CLMA) from any and all claims, loss, damage, theft or storm damage to any property arising out of the use of the storage area and the space holder releases and indemnifies the Association from any and all claims, losses, liabilities, demands, actions, or causes of action of any kind or character, including, without limitation, attorneys fees, costs and expenses, whether known or unknown, arising out of the space holder’s use of the storage area. Space holders are responsible for any damage that their dinghy may cause to other dinghies and/or private and/or community property as a result of high winds and/or storms.
