(Meaning, I want two resident passes.) Therefore, I suggest/request that I be given a second residents pass, which I can then give to my "special friend" for when he visits me....whether he is local or from far away. My second/named resident pass should not be limited to only 30 days per year. I think this is only fair, since I pay as much for my amenities as a family of two pays for theirs.
Alternatively, if the Developer wants to give my household only one resident pass, then only charge me one-half of the amenities fees charged to a two-person household.

I understand your logic, bestmickey and I am sure this was taken into consideration when the rules were established. Making such an exception would open the door to other exceptions.
I don't use any amenities so why should I pay any fee?
I use amenities but my wife doesn't so why can't I pay half?
I only live here 6 months per year so why can't I pay half?
I only play shuffleboard so why should I subsidize golf?
I play golf once a week and my neighbor plays four times. Why should I pay the same as him?
Ad infinitum.
Like taxes, amenity fees tend to take from some and subsidize others. Unfortunately, due to health issues, I am a subsidizer.
