3 Mainlands Secondary Entrance Barrier Gate Proposal Technology and Cost Study (as Prepared by Gate Committee on April 4, 2017) The following information and summary cost tables contain the results of a 2017 study by the Mainlands Gate Committee, chartered by the Mainland Masters Association, to investigate the feasibility, available gating systems, and associated costs involved in providing non-resident vehicle traffic control at the 40 th St (Phase I) and 102 nd Ave (Future Phase II) secondary entrances to the private road system at Mainlands of Tamarac development. Gate Committee Team: Mike Britt Pat Britt Dave Crane Dot Muller Grady McDonald Dick Osgood 3

4 Primary Purpose of Gate Proposal (Phase I): 1) To eliminate non-resident vehicle traffic currently using 40th St. and Mainlands Blvd. entrances as a shortcut route between Gateway Centre Blvd. and US Highway 19N (Problem traffic exists in both directions). 2) To eliminate non-resident vehicle traffic currently using Mainlands Blvd. as a back-road route between 102 nd Ave, via 49 th Street/The Lakes development and Gateway Centre Blvd. (Problem traffic exists in both directions). 3) To eliminate Mainlands community roadways as a viable re-route path to non-residents around the proposed US-19/Park Blvd Bridge reconstruction project. 4

5 Primary Purpose of Gate Proposal (Phase II): 1) To eliminate non-resident vehicle traffic currently using Mainlands Blvd. as a back-road route between US-19N and 102 nd Ave, via 49 th St./The Lakes development. (Problem traffic exists in both directions). 2) To complete gating of Mainlands secondary road entrances. 5

6 Mainlands Road System: 6

7 Non-Resident Traffic Areas of Concern: 1) Increased maintenance costs for Mainlands Blvd. due to higher than required non-resident traffic use. a. Road wear paving costs b. Sidewalk and storm drain repairs 2) Uninvited non-resident drivers of both automobiles and trucks ignoring traffic control signs within Mainlands road system, greatly increasing risk of vehicle accidents and residential pedestrian safety. a. Posted speed limit of 25mph b. Stop signs ** Please note that as the Mainlands road system is private property, the police have confirmed that this problem belongs to us. 3) Multiple vehicle escape routes, via our non-gated secondary entrances available to criminal activities. 4) Area development, as is occurring now, will increase the local area traffic, making Mainlands Blvd. even more attractive to non-resident vehicle traffic, and more and more a problem for our residents. 7

8 Possible Solutions We Considered: Speed Bumps on extended sections of Mainlands Blvd. o Undesirable for everyone, possible damage to first-responder vehicles Private security screening checkpoint(s) o Too costly Converting Mainland s portion of 40 th St to one-way traffic flow o Inconvenient to residents, only solves ½ the problem Eliminate the two secondary entrances/exits (40 th St and 102 nd Ave) o Too drastic a solution Install enhanced signage at entrances (No Trespassing, etc.) o Ineffective in highly populated areas Install vehicle control gates at secondary entrances 8

9 Tangible Benefits of Gated Secondary Entrances: 1) Reduced roadway maintenance costs associated with a lower volume of vehicle traffic (reduced nonresident vehicle traffic). 2) Less potential for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-topedestrian incidents and accidents (reduced nonresident vehicle traffic). 3) Greater public awareness that the Mainlands is in fact private property. 4) Potential for reduced crime within Mainlands community due to enhanced perception of Mainlands as a closed community (wide angle video of gated area plus license plate capture cameras at each gate). 5) An initial Unit HOA one-time investment of less than $60 per residence can result in individual home values increasing by thousands of dollars due to Mainlands status as a Gated Community. 9

10 Types of Gates We Investigated: Horizontal Swing Gate o Gate operation Pedestrian & Vehicle safety concerns Horizontal Sliding Gate o Slow opening, high maintenance costs Vertical Pivot Lift Gate o High installation & maintenance costs Vertical Pivot Barrier Gate o Lowest installation & maintenance costs of considered gate types 10

13 Types of Access Control We Investigated: RF (radio frequency) windshield sticker o Costly receiver controls, prone to weather interference Barcode Reader side window sticker o Installation & reuse issues Keypad using manual input o Low cost but inconvenient to use, slow access, inclement weather issues Access Control Remote o Easy to use, portable, secure 13

19 Table Notes: 1) Item cost is estimated and based on information known at time of proposal. 2) Committee recommends the use of a barrier style gating system as it represents the most cost effective type of gate to accomplish the job (vehicle traffic control) in terms of both initial cost and ongoing maintenance. 3) Exact Barrier Gate (Phase I) location to be determined based on success of Mainlands obtaining ownership of approx. 82 feet of 40 th St. starting at Unit 5 property line and proceeding south. 4) Exact Barrier Gate (Phase II) location to be determined upon examination of Mainlands property line at junction of 43 rd St and 102 nd Ave, and associated property easements. 5) Gate system is configured for local data entry (upload & download) 6) Committee recommends that individual homeowners pay all or some of the cost of a remote to help establish need & promote care of the remote. 7) Committee recommends the installation of road-closing guardrails at the 102 nd Ave end of the following six Mainlands private roadways; 42 nd Way, 43 rd Way, 44 th St, 44 th Way, 45 th St, & 45 th Way. 8) Gate remotes would be configured to work either gate (Phase I and Phase II) and each remote would be assigned a unique user code (data base) for system security. System Maintenance: Typical annual cost of 3 standard service visits per year per gate is $500. System Warranty: 5 year manufactures warranty on gate operator 2 year manufactures warranty on controller 2/5 year manufactures warranty on camera systems 2 year manufactures warranty on surge-protected equipment 19

20 In Closing: We all enjoy the advantages of having the secondary road entrances to our community. However, these entrances have become problematic for many of our residents for reasons previously discussed. We understand that not all of our residents share these problems but as we all share the benefit of having these secondary entrances we ask that we all share in solving the problems currently associated with this benefit. Thank you for attending. 20
