The system has the ability for you to contact someone who can either raise the gate or provide a "one use" code to enter Bear Paw. This should be a rare occurrence since we have been monitoring requests to enter Bear Paw between 10pm and 6am and access during these hours is very rare.
Gate Security Access Overview
The Bear Paw Service District has improved our security by upgrading the entrance gates and implementing new locks for our buildings and amenities. These upgrades not only improve security; they also are less costly than our current security.
The gate will continue to have a guard present from 6am to 10pm every day. From 10pm until 6am all property owners will access Bear Paw using a “token” on a cellphone or a “fob” that is the size of a dog tag. The locks for amenities will be upgraded over the next 12 months.
To obtain a “token” or “fob” each property owner must provide information that is necessary to setup the new system. Property owners must provide the information as soon as possible. After May 1st there will be an up to two-week processing period from the time accurate information is provided until the “token” or “fob” assigned to the property owner will be activated.
Property owners provide the required information by filling out an online form. The form can be accessed from the bearpawnc.com website by clicking the “Access Request Form” button above.
Only information provided via the online form will be processed.
