Welcome to Driftwood Sands Condominium Association.

Whether you are new to Driftwood Sands or an existing owner reading this Handbook for the first
time we hope you will find the material assembled here useful and informative.

The purpose of this Handbook is to provide information that will help you understand our
association, answer some of the more common questions a new owner may have and also answer
questions that may come up later as you maintain your unit and enjoy your investment on the
beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

The Handbook does not attempt to replace the registered Declaration of Condominium,
Condominium Documents, By-Laws or any other related documents. It is provided for ease of
reference. Differences, if any, are unintentional and the Association is governed by the registered
documents as amended as well as applicable law.

The Handbook is compiled from information and requirements as they currently exist and does not
attempt to suggest or initiate any changes thereto.

Revisions to this Handbook may be issued to you from time to time. When this happens simply
remove any obsolete pages and insert the revised pages to keep your book current. The initial
Handbook was released October 2007.

If you have a suggestion on how to improve this Handbook please let us know.

Board of Directors.

Safety and Security

Rules have been developed to promote the safety, security and enjoyment of all. They are posted on the property
and included in this handbook for copy and distribution as needed.

Owners are responsible to insure guests know and follow the rules and practice responsible common sense
behavior. If you allow use of your unit by family or others in your absence, providing them a copy of the rules in
advance will encourage compliance and minimize the potential for unpleasant consequences. Consider posting the
rules on a wall or entry door inside the unit to serve as a reminder while guests occupy the unit.

Rule violations should be pointed out to the violators immediately for correction or reported directly to the unit
owner or Management as appropriate.

Access to the building interior is controlled by the use of keyed locks on floor level entry doors to the stairwells
and elevator lobbies.

All entry door locks can be opened with the same copy controlled key.
Copy controlled keys may not be reproduced legally without proper authority.

Owners are expected to maintain the integrity of this initiative by using good judgment in the storage and use of
these special keys.

Entry doors should be fully closed at all times to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Contractors or guests visiting individual units may be allowed to enter by pressing the number 006 key on your
unit phone while receiving a call from the lobby wall phone. This will release the electronic door lock for a short
time and allow the door to be opened.

Be aware this system must have your correct unit phone number to function properly. If your unit phone number
changes you must inform management or the board to insure changes are programmed into the system.

The West Lobby should be used for all deliveries. Management must be notified of all deliveries as they will make
sure the pads are installed and, depending on the type of delivery, will have the ceiling removed.

The use of Parking Passes and a Tow Away Policy is another security measure intended to help avoid
unauthorized use of our private property. Refer to the appropriate sections in this book for details.

Pool and various other Rules are in effect to promote safety and enjoyment for all.
Refer to the appropriate sections in this book and Notices posted at Driftwood Sands for details.

Fire Alarms are located along each elevated walkway. If the Alarm sounds the Fire Department is notified
automatically. Leave the unit, closing the door behind you, and exit the building calmly via the nearest stairwell.
DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR. Do not return to the unit until approved by the Fire Department.

In the event of electrical power failure, the Emergency Generator will start automatically and provide emergency
power to the elevator, lights above each stairwell entry door and in each stairwell.

Driftwood Sands Condominium Association, Inc.
Rules and Regulations, effective 10/01/2018

These Rules and Regulations shall be in effect until amended by the Board of Directors of DRIFTWOOD SANDS
CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC.

1. Driftwood Sands units may not be rented for less than one full month. The Association is a single
family, non-transient community with all renters expected to treat this community as they would treat their
own homes, and respect the rights of others who live or visit here.

2. Security – Owner & Renter Responsibilities. All exterior doors to the building MUST remain locked for
the security of our residents. They may not be propped open and left unattended. Owners are responsible
for the action of their renters and are required to make sure that ALL renters are aware of the building rules
by acknowledging receipt of such in writing. Owners and Renters are required to complete a form provided
by the management company that includes information about the rental to comply with these rules. The
completed form will be provided back to the management company who will then make the Board of
Directors aware of new rentals. A $100.00 fee is due to the Association for each rental PRIOR to the move
in date. Management has the right to request Renters to leave the property should they not abide by the
Rules and Regulations.

3. Occupancy - Please note that per the Fair Housing Act, (FHA), the rule of Occupancy per unit is
regulated as: Two (2) persons in a one bedroom unit. Four (4) persons in a two bedroom unit, Six (6)
persons in a three bedroom unit and eight persons in a four (4) bedroom unit. With a child under the
age of 12, each limit increases to an additional person per bedroom. Because this is a small building
with limited facilities, Renters may not have guests or invitees that cause the number of persons in the
unit, using the facilities or visiting the property to exceed the FHA Occupancy Rules. Special dispensation
from the Board of Directors is required should a renter request additional guests or invitees for a short
window of time, and not overnight.

4. Children – Children shall be under the direct control of a responsible adult. Children under 12 may not
use the elevators, library, pool, spa or waterfront areas unaccompanied by an adult. Children may be
requested to leave any of the common or recreational areas for misbehavior by, or on the instruction of the
Manager.

5. Recreational Facilities – Renters are welcome to use the pool, gazebo, grills, courtyard and library as
long as they comply with all posted hours of operation and other requirements for their use. Based on the
maximum occupancy rules above, Renters may not authorize anyone who would cause exceeding the
occupancy rules to use the facilities.

6. UMBRELLAS are stored in the men’s restroom, please return after use.

7. GARBAGE: all garbage, food, cans, bottles, newspaper, etc. MUST BE PROPERLY BAGGED AND TIED,
BEFORE depositing in the trash chute (opposite each elevator on floors 1-5). ALL BOXES, no matter how
small, will clog the trash chute and must be carried down to the ground floor and deposited in the dumpsters.
Recycling is also available on Bay Boulevard and 27th Avenue at Brown Park.

8. GAZEBO may be reserved, except on holidays and holiday weekends, for a private party, simply by
contacting Management at least 48 hours prior to your party. Because of the large number of requests,
only one (1) reservation per month is permitted for a maximum of four (4) hours. The Association grills
may NOT be reserved.

9. POOL AREA/GAZEBO SEATING:
Please do not monopolize the tables and chairs in these areas by leaving towels and/or personal items
unattended on them. If there is no warm body occupying a seat, it is first come, first serve. Plastic water
bottles only allowed in and around the pool area, no glass or food.



10. POOL:
The pool operating hours are from dawn to dusk daily. Maximum load 12 people. There is NO Lifeguard.
Children MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

11. RESTROOMS: Both poolside restrooms have a lock that can be opened with your ground floor entry keys.
Please help us keep them clean, keeping the door locked is a great help with keeping non-residents from
using them, and let us not forget to turn off the lights when leaving. DO NOT prop the doors open as the
salt air is corrosive and causes the fixtures to rust.

12. FIRE CODE prohibits cooking grills on our balconies, propane tanks in the unit, nor can they be stored in
our storage areas.

13. FIRE ALARM means to evacuate the building via the stairwells, immediately. DO NOT USE THE
ELEVATORS. Re-entry is permitted ONLY upon approval of the Fire Department or Building Representative.

14. ENTRY DOORS: Never block or prop open the lobby or stairwell doors. Security is important to us and
this puts everyone at risk. If you see an item propping a door open, please remove it. Never open a door
for someone you don’t know. If they belong here, they should either have a key or must ring the resident
from the entry phone. To admit someone who has called your unit from the entry phone, press 6 on your
unit phone.

15. BICYCLE RIDING, SKATEBOARD, ROLLERBLADING, BALL PLAYING, ETC., are STRICTLY
PROHIBITED in the garage and parking areas. Children and adults should use caution when entering our
lower level as visibility is difficult in some areas and we all must use caution with cars coming and going.

16. NO carts, bicycles, strollers, chairs, tables or any other similar object may obstruct or be stored on the
walkways.

17. DOGS: ONE (1) DOG NOT EXCEEDING TWENTY-FIVE (25) LBS AT MATURITY is allowed by
OWNERS ONLY at the association. The only location allowed on our property for dog walking is the green
area on the Northeast corner. Both the City ordinance and the Association demand that you clean up after
your dog and properly dispose of its droppings. Dogs must be leashed at all times outside of the Owner’s
unit. Renters and/or invitees are NOT permitted to have pets in the unit or on the property.

18. As a courtesy to everyone, please refrain from SMOKING on the balconies.

19. No unit shall be occupied by more than SIX (6) persons (including infants and children).

20. NOISE OR MUSIC of any kind in units, balconies or common areas must not disturb other residents,
particularly between 11:00 pm and 8:00 am.


We hope you enjoy the wonderful lifestyle we have here at Driftwood Sands
and we appreciate your assisting us in keeping it so.

Visitors may be granted a permit to park in a spot marked “Permit Only”. The approved Parking
Pass must be displayed indicating which unit they are visiting and the date for which the permit is
granted.

All passes are available from the Board of Directors and Arnold Kraemer, the Association’s

If a vehicle is parked in your spot or is in violation in some other way, try to determine who the
owner is and request the problem be corrected. If there is no indication of how to contact the
owner you may wish to place a note on the windshield pointing out the violation. If necessary,
park in a visitor spot in the meantime and report the problem to Management stating the following
information,
1) License number and State.
2) Date and time the violation was observed.
3) Describe the violation.
4) The name and call back information of the person reporting the violation.
