Dear Emerald Bay Residents,
At their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, May 5, 2020, the Association’s Board of Directors examined its current restrictions related to COVID-19. After extensive discussion and input from the Membership, the Board voted to further ease some of the restrictions in place on the Association’s pool, tennis courts, and playgrounds.
The pool complex is now open for swim seven (7) days a week, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., by appointment only; with the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. reserved for lap swim only. The baby pool and jacuzzi are now available, also by appointment only, for individual or single-family use during each appointment time. More lap swim appointments have also been made available.
The temporary tennis rules have been modified to allow doubles, “whisper ball,” and all temporary time restrictions have been lifted.
Emerald Bay’s playgrounds are now open for use at everyone’s own risk. Please note that, due to limited resources, the Association is unable to sanitize the playground equipment after each use. Each family using the playground must bring their own hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes and all users should sanitize their hands before and after use of the playground equipment.
Car washers are allowed access to the Bay providing that all services are conducted on, or directly in front of, the Member’s property.
Beach restrictions temporarily enacted limiting use to residents and for walking or passive exercise only, while maintaining social distance from other residents, remain in force until further notice. However, while these temporary beach restrictions are in place, the Board voted to temporarily remove dog hours restrictions so that dogs can accompany residents walking on the beach throughout the day.
The Board and staff are sensitive to the resulting hardship caused by these restrictions and will continue to evaluate these restrictions daily based on the most up-to-date guidance. It is important to remember that Orange County beach activity is still being scrutinized, including the use of Emerald Bay beach. Please continue to act responsibly.
A full list of all emergency rules can be found at http://ebca.net/communitywebsite/announcements.aspx
Please do not hesitate to contact the Association Office at office@ebca.net with any questions you may have.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation during these difficult times.
Emerald Bay Community Association
