RULES MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Dear Property Owner,

Rules and Restrictions are important to our Raintree Community. We also realize that you may not be aware of

all the rules. With that in mind, this booklet has been prepared to inform you of the current rules. The rules are

itemized by category.

The source of the information is based on the Raintree Covenants and Restrictions. Covenants and Restrictions

and By-Laws supersede motions approved by the POA Board.

This is a living document subject to change, as changes to the Covenants are approved by the membership and

motions are approved by the Board. Revisions will be added as needed.

Please take the time to read and familiarize yourself and your family with the Rules and Restrictions of Raintree.

Help make Raintree a better place to live by abiding by the rules.

The Raintree Rules Committee thanks you for your cooperation.

Gate Cards Are the Primary Access Method for Property Owners.

Gate Cards may be purchased for family and those who you need to regularly enter the gates.

(Family Gate Codes were eliminated as of Tuesday, May 15, 2018.)

Property Owners may choose to purchase additional gate cards for individual family members as follows at a cost of $25 each, 10 maximum cards:

• Lost, damaged, or stolen gate cards can be replaced for $25 each, and the previous card will be disabled.

• Gate card costs are nonrefundable and non-transferable to other persons.

• In all cases a Property Owner named on your deed is required to go to the POA office to complete a form

requesting each additional card.

• Gate cards will be identifiable to that Property Owner, who is responsible for any and all issues resulting

from admitting that person.

Gate cards are nontransferable and do not authorize access to the beach or boat ramp. New Property Owners will need to register at the office to receive a free gate card for up to two individuals named on their deed. Access for friends and other people desired in by Property Owners

• For food deliveries and such you need to meet the driver at the POA parking lot or give them guidance

to utilize the rear gate access.

• Residential Property Owners will be able to utilize the rear gate access system. (See attached

instructions.) For specific holidays, Property Owners may obtain gate codes from the POA office.

• For home health care providers gate codes may be requested by the Home Care Agency on their

letterhead, and gate codes will be issued with a specific date range.

• Postal and standard delivery services (UPS, Federal Express) already have gate cards.

• Emergency services (Fire, Police, Ambulance) have digital devices for entry into Raintree.

• For construction projects, the Contractor can obtain temporary gate codes for a specific construction

project for a specific date range.

As a Property Owner in a gated community, you and your family need to prepare in advance for visitors. Buy gate cards for family members during POA office hours and remember, you can request a temporary holiday gate code only for specific national holidays. If you forget, take your gate card to the gate and let them in. The holidays for which gate codes will be issued upon request are: New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Superbowl Sunday, Easter, Memorial Day Weekend, Independence Day/Weekend, Labor Day Weekend, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.

Raintree Plantation

Property Owners Association

Security Policy

Approved December 23, 2019

All Raintree Privately Owned, Business, or Leased Vehicles Must be Re-Registered Annually and the Current Year Sticker Must Be Applied as

Specified

All residential and area Property Owners are required to annually register all privately owned or leased or business-owned vehicles driven, operated, or parked on Raintree Plantation premises. See the Car Sticker Guidelines included in the Policy. Property Owners applying for new or renewing auto stickers will be charged for the cost of one tag for each qualifying vehicle.

Property Owners risk their vehicle(s) being towed and or censured or both if not displaying a current Raintree registration tag affixed to the inside lower driver-side windshield. Each auto sticker will contain a numerical identifier associated with the Property Owner/registered owner of the vehicle.

Vehicle stickers will be affixed in clear visual sight on the inside lower driver-side of the windshield and must be affixed immediately upon receipt.

Installation of the new tag must be completed no later than July 1st each year. Early payment and registration are encouraged, and purchase/registration must be completed in the POA office with your driver’s license, current vehicle registration, and proof of insurance.

More Information:

Vehicle stickers will not be issued to anyone unless they are current on Raintree assessments. If you are not current, you do not have rights to the community amenities, meaning the lakes, beaches, Pavilion, campgrounds, etc. until such assessment responsibilities are paid.

Due to tag design and tracking capabilities, stickers are not physically transferable to another vehicle. Stickers are designed to prevent theft or improper transfer to another vehicle. Purchase of an additional vehicle will require registration of that vehicle with the POA office and purchase of an additional tag for that vehicle.

Any tag appearing to be tampered with or improperly affixed to the vehicle windshield as per POA instructions may be confiscated and or nullified including the responsible Property Owner being censured.

Stickers must be obtained each year with the same July 1st expiration date. The color of registration stickers for Vehicles, Marine Watercraft, and Boat Trailers will be identical every year and will change every year to provide instant visual identification of expired stickers. Expired stickers should be removed.

If You Have Unpaid Assessments/ Censures Due to the POA

Your one or two primary gate cards will continue to give you access to your residence. Any other gate cards will be suspended on August 1 and no temporary holiday gate codes will be given until you have paid your obligations to Raintree in full. For other vehicles/guests to enter Raintree, you will need to go to the gate to admit them.

A RAINTREE STICKER MAY BE TOWED AT ANYTIME.”

Gate Access for Guests

The rear gate access system is designed to allow Resident Property Owners (POs) in Good Standing

(no overdue assessments and unpaid censures) to admit guests with their telephones. The guest entry

option is operational only from the rear gate, and will allow your guests to access Raintree 24/7. The

functionality does not support the daily temporary codes that POs have used in the past, and codes

already in existence expired on the live date, which was March 1, 2019. (Exceptions: real

estate and health care provider codes.) You may use the process for multiple guests to your home.

Each Residence is asked to provide 2 personal preferred phone numbers which must belong to a

Property Owner on the Deed. Submitted numbers will be entered into the access database for use at

the rear entrance gate kiosk (near the Raintree Condos). The 2 phone numbers provided may consist

of cellphones or a home hard-wired service or a combination of both. If no telephone numbers are

provided for this purpose, the rear gate access will not be available for that PO’s guests until phone

numbers are provided to the POA for that purpose.

Each provided telephone number will be issued an associated Security Directory Code and will be

identified in a scrolling Directory at the back gate. The Homeowner/Resident’s name will be visible on

the screen, but not the personal phone number.

If the Resident’s Directory number is known, the visitor may forego the name search by entering the

Resident’s Directory Code number onto the key pad. Here is the process:

1. Visitor calls the Property Owner (PO) to let them know they will soon be ready to enter the rear gate. Property Owner could assist by providing guest with the directory access code to call the desired PO telephone.

2. Visitor drives down Plantation Drive to the back gate and approaches rear gate controller.

3. Visitor presses the Home Button and a Welcome Screen will appear. Visitor will select one of two options, Resident Directory (if the directory code is not known) or Directory Code (if PO has provided their directory code), then presses Enter (center button on navigation key)

4. The system will call the associated phone number, and the PO will hit 9 to open the gate. This works only through the access system and not through any personal phones called directly by the visitor. POs can create a contact for the Raintree gate using the number 636.209.8263.

Option Without Resident Directory Number

• Visitor selects Resident PO Directory, presses Enter

• Visitor selects the first letter of the last name of resident using navigation key, then presses Enter

• Visitor then scrolls to the resident’s last name using navigation key, presses Enter (Center circle)

• The controller calls the resident PO on the authorized phone #. Depending on their phone service provider, there may be audio for the visitor to self identify

• The resident answers the phone and grants access by pressing 9 on his phone, and the gate opens to admit the guest

• In lieu of admitting the guest, the resident can disconnect from the controller by pressing * or by hanging up.

Option with known Directory Code Number

• Visitor selects Directory Code using navigation keys, presses Enter (center button on navigation key)

• Visitor enters Resident’s Directory Code, presses Enter (Center circle)

• The controller calls the resident PO on the authorized phone #. Depending on their phone service provider, there may be audio for the visitor to self identify

• The resident answers the phone and grants access by pressing 9 on his phone, and the gate opens to admit the guest

• In lieu of admitting the guest, the resident can disconnect from the controller by pressing * or by hanging up.
