We are pleased to announce the activation of the security gate arms at the Marina Entrance on Friday, February 4th. The procedures for entrance with the gate arms are the same as already in place at both the Main and East Entrances.
- The gate arm in the left (Visitor) lane will stay in the down position with the on-duty security officer opening the arm after clearing each visitor. Vehicles with a current Beau Chene decal or a current Temporary Pass will also be admitted through this lane.
- The right (Member) lane will also stay in the down position and the gate arm will respond to vehicles with activated RFID tags. The gate arm takes approximately 3-4 seconds to raise in the UP position once it has been activated. The gate arm does not have a sensor to return to the UP position for a following vehicle (with or without a RFID tag) that is tailgating (piggyback) too close to a vehicle already entering. DO NOT TAILGATE. If the gate arm and other property at the gate is damaged by drivers that tailgate and/or ram the gate arm, they will be responsible for the repair costs.
Due to the short distance between Hwy. 22 and the Marina guardhouse/gate arms, there may be times when the security officer on duty will manually open the gate arms to allow quicker entry to avoid stacking vehicles onto Hwy. 22.
RFID Tag/s are available at the BCHOA office. Members may request the RFID tag/s via our website or in person. Via the website: go to www.bchoa.org and click the blue “RFID Tag Form” button at the top of any page, complete all fields of information (all mandatory fields must be completed) and click “submit”. You will then be notified by email or phone when your RFID tag is ready for pick up. There is a $10.00 fee for each RFID tag. Due to the delicate physical nature of the RFID tag, it will only be issued in person at the BCHOA office.
