53 Hampton Court Parking Proposal
ZFHOA Board remains committed to resolving the Hampton Court congestion: To improve general safety within our community To preserve our ‘green belts’ as far as possible To be an all-inclusive community In order to enforce compliance with the proposed parking arrangements we have commissioned: the manufacture and installation of boom gates at the entrances to the affected parks Reinstated the Yellow Line Road Markings (No Parking) Utilised 36 Traffic Cones provided by ADT Security

54 Hampton Court Parking Proposal
The booms at the overflow parking (marked B and C on the map) will remain closed until the existing parking facilities (marked A on the map) and one side of Hampton Court are fully utilised. The boom at the 1st overflow parking (marked B on the map) will then be opened. Only once the 1st overflow parking is fully utilised will the 2nd overflow parking (marked C on the map) be opened. This should only be required 5 to 8 time per year.

55 Hampton Court Parking Proposal
In effect, not much has changed from historical usage The arrangement has simply been formalised

56 SARs (Closures / Booms)

Ours is 1 of the 12.

85 Annual Levy Adjustment
Current contribution is R 500 per month Considering the economic implications of the recent downgrade, we propose that no increase be applied Concerns: Not all residents are paying Many residents still pay less than the current R 500 per month We need to build our reserves We need to fund for the future vision Focus on: Getting everyone to contribute Getting all contributors to R 500 per month
