Updated Common Area Restrictions – effective through 4/30/2020

DDSS Homeowner,

In alignment with the extended Shelter in Place order issued by the Governor of the State of Georgia and the Fulton County Board of Health, the DDSS HOA board has the following update on our common areas. The below restrictions will be in effect until 4/30; at that point, we will reevaluate pursuant to the current local guidelines.

We recognize that these are challenging times, and this is a sensitive topic for many. The overriding guidance should be to follow Governor Kemp’s orders that allow for outdoor exercise while remaining six feet apart. After much deliberation among the board members, other subdivisions in our area and our property management company, the HOA Board has placed the following restrictions on the common areas/amenities effective immediately:

1. Basketball Court:  The basketball court area will be open for direct family only recreation, such as bike and scooter riding. The rim will be temporarily removed through 4/30, since the game of basketball doesn’t allow for social distancing.

2. Tennis Pavilion: The tennis pavilion remains closed through 4/30. 

There is to be no gathering or socializing in the tennis pavilion by any homeowner, children of homeowners or a person residing in the homeowner’s residence.  Non-residents are not allowed in the tennis pavilion.  

1. Tennis Courts: The tennis courts have the following restrictions through 4/30:

   1. Singles play only will be allowed, with no spectators. 

   2. Doubles play will be allowed with family members only.  There is to be no more doubles play among anyone who is not a direct family member residing in the homeowner's dwelling.

   3. No spectators are to be on the court at any time.

2. The HOA Board is also requesting that all groups that walk together in the neighborhood maintain the required 6-foot social distancing policy that is in effect, unless you are direct family members. 

Our hope is that the homeowner, child(ren) of a homeowner or a person residing in the homeowner’s residence will abide by these new restrictions.  If the board finds that the new restrictions are being violated, we may be forced to take more restrictive steps to the common areas.

We know these restrictions will be temporary and ask for the neighborhood’s support on these guidelines. The HOA Board is asking the homeowners to abide by the new restrictions to help keep our neighborhood and community safe. We ask for any questions to be sent directly to the board at Board@ddsshoa.com.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation, 

DDSS HOA Board
