Boat Storage

 Guidelines 

You and your guests/renters are responsible for understanding all of the regulations relating to boat storage. We recommend that you download the Boat Storage Rules and print and post a copy in your cabin.

SLPOA provides boat storage (defined as: kayaks, canoes, SUPs and sail boats--Inflatables DO NOT qualify unless they are categorized as a kayak, canoe or SUP) on District owned property for Serene Lakes residents under a License Agreement with the District.

NEW RULE: NO PADDLE BOARDS (SUP) STORAGE AT BALES

• SEASONAL: Boats can only be stored for the current season while storage racks are in place and a valid sticker is visible from the top side.
  
  Seasonal Storage includes: Lot 1, Bales and Swiss Court. 
  
  

• SHORT-TERM: Boats can be stored for a maximum of 3-days per visit. 
  
  Short-Term Storage includes: Allen, Beacon, Castle and Dulzura.
  
  

• Sailboats (with valid Swiss Court Stickers) can only be stored at the Swiss Court Location.
  
  

• All locations are potentially available to Serene Lakes residents, however Lot 1/Beach racks are for MEMBERS ONLY.

ALL STORAGE IS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS 

• A visible current SLPOA Permit is REQUIRED for boat storage.

• Take boats home if racks or storage logs are full, regardless of having a valid sticker on the vessel.

• Permits must be clearly visible from above. Do not place sticker on top of your boat if you store it in the rack upside down. If the boat sticker is not visible from above, it is at risk of being impounded and fees may applied for its retrieval.

• DO NOT leave boats on the ground (except for under the racks at Bales and Lot 1), in the water, or on/or tied-up to docks overnight. Doing so may put the boat a risk of being impounded where fees may apply for its retrieval.
  
  

• Docks are for loading/unloading ONLY.

• No Stacking of boats on racks.

• Inflatable Floaties are NOT valid for storage and must be removed after day use.
  
  

• No watercraft trailers, dollies, or racks may be stored at any location. 
  
  

• Lock up your vessels. There is no security at any of the storage locations and boats are stored at your own risk--SLPOA is not responsible for any damage or theft.
  

• Unclaimed boats must be retrieved prior to September 30 or the vessel will be discarded.

• Boats that are NOT stored properly or vessels left in storage areas without a valid sticker will be impounded.

• There is a $50 fee to retrieve impounded boats. 
  
  

• Vessels will not be released on the same day as they are impounded and maybe retrievable after 48-hrs.

Registration 

Registration for stickers will be available via an email link sent to primary members typically in mid-March. 

Note that there is a high demand for these stickers and locations typically sell out within a short period of time (within hours of opening registration.) Having your membership up-to-date is critical for ease of registration. 

• Registration requires a gmail account to open a google form which identifies the spaces you are requesting and a release of liability. 

• Once the form has been submitted, based on the timestamp, stickers for locations will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.

• SLPOA Membership doesn't guarantee space availability but prior notice of registration is sent to those with active Memberships.

• Stickers will be distributed only after payment has been made. Paid stickers will typically be distributed in May and June.

• If you are a Serene Lakes Property Owner, but do not wish to be a SLPOA member, please send your request to SLPOABoat@gmail.com. Delay in sticker allocation may occur as the application will need verification of property ownership in Serene Lakes.  Also note that non-SLPOA Property Owner requests will not have assess to Lot 1/Beach storage AND fees for stickers are at a different rate than SLPOA members.

More stickers maybe distributed at locations than spaces allow.  Storage is on a first come first serve basis.
