Community associations should
also determine whether the instal-
lation of gates is permitted under
local ordinance and the association’s
governing documents. Further, the
structures existing within a community
association are generally included in
a site plan that is approved by the
township. If a gate is not permitted
under the original site plan, a formal
application to the township’s planning
board may be necessary.
Finally, in the process of constructing
a community association, the devel-
oper may grant easements to third
parties for access to certain parts of a
community association’s property or to
use the community’s roads generally.
These may include easements given
to utilities or the township for the pur-
pose of inspection and repairs. As a
result, constructing a gate may have
the effect of violating the easements
by restricting open access.
Radar Speed Displays
Radar speed displays are electronic
devices that display the speed of
passing vehicles. Different varieties of
displays may also use cameras to take
pictures of vehicles that are speeding
as they pass. Even without this cam-
era feature, drivers may assume that
the device has the ability to take
pictures and decide to slow down as
a result. The combination of a radar
speed display and a well-designed
system of enforcement in a communi-
ty association’s governing documents
