Admiral Pointe Gate

guard-gate-entryGood Morning Mira Bay,

We have received emails from our neighborhood watch coordinator about the Admiral Pointe incidents.  For those that do not know who that is: Christine Nargi, so that name should be familiar!!!??? so, YES!!, of course I hear about it first hand!! as you can imagine!!

Our Neighborhood watch coordinator has done an excellent job working with Hillsborough County Sheriff on these incidents, she has taken the time via phone, email and in person! almost immediately after she was informed to notify Rizzetta and the CDD.

The gates are owned by the CDD, the gate were originally locked down 24/7, Cal Atlantic made a plea about access for builders, inspectors etc. so the CDD gave CalAtlantic a chance and opened up the Gates.  Since we now have these issues Christine took the time to email the President of CalAtlantic, who along with Newland,  as previously mentioned, wants the gates open to assist their builders, she informed them that this is a problem and must be changed  and corrected to a secure system for access.

Christine also learned through her investigation that  the sales rep at Admiral Pointe is not sharing this information with her superiors or other sales staff, and it has been confirmed that the general Contractor for the building sites was not made aware of any of these incidents. Additionally, she learned that all homeowners who purchased in Admiral Pointe were required to sign a form called the “Gated Community Rider” informing residents that the gates would be kept open for home sales and construction. Whether all residents did or not is now known.

So what is being done about it?

  1. Christine has been informed that Florida Highway Patrol has now been instructed to patrol in Admiral Pointe while here in Mira Bay.
  2. FHP  is now scheduled to patrol in our community 5 days a week.
  3. Christine talked to a sergeant at the Hillsborough County Sheriffs dept. to inform his watch commanders of the issues that we are having in Mirabay to include the recent problems at Admiral Pointe and to add this location to their patrols.
  4. The CDD is now engaging with CalAtlantic to solve this issue with immediate effect.

Once we know more we will update you!
