ELEVATORS
The Colony has four elevators.
The #1 elevator is located near the swimming pool. It stops at the pool level, the second, third, and fifth floors.
The #2 elevator is located in the lobby area. It serves the lower garage level, the lobby or first floor, and in addition floors two through six.

An entry code is required to call the elevators from the garage levels and are distributed when the garage gate codes are changed.
ENTRY DIRECTORY
Homeowners and residents may have their names added to the lobby directory and their telephone numbers coded to the entry intercom telephone. Codes are pre-assigned by unit number. In addition, names and unit numbers will be added to the mail distribution list maintained for the post office. New homeowners and residents will be issued a car identification sticker. A form is enclosed to facilitate the process. Guests and visitors can use the entry intercom telephone to request entry into the building using code number assigned to individual units. When guests call, push "9" on your telephone keypad to admit them to the building.
GARAGES
There are three parking garages at The Colony.
The North Veteran garage is located at the northern perimeter of the property and is entered through the North Veteran gate.
The lobby level garage can be entered through the South Veteran gate or the Middle Kelton gate.
The lower level garage is accessed through the North Kelton and the South Kelton gates.
All gates are controlled by a coded access system. Each garage has a separate code. All codes are changed regularly as a precaution. Residents are notified by mail in advance of the code change. Cars parked in Colony garages are required to display a Colony sticker. The number on the sticker corresponds to the unit's entry intercom telephone code. An attempt will be made to contact the owner of an illegally parked car prior to having it towed.
An entry code is required to call the elevators from the garage levels and are distributed when the garage gate codes are changed.
There is no guest parking.

Keys for entry into the building through the common area doors may be purchased from the on-site manager. They are $25 per key and can not be duplicated. Keys will be sold to homeowners only.
Residents may deposit keys with the security doorman or the on-site manager. Keys will be placed in a locked box and must be both signed in and out. Residents must fill out a key waiver form when depositing a key.
Alternately, residents may purchase a real estate type lock box for keys, which will be attached to the package room wall. Only the resident will know the combination to the lock box.
