Swimming Pool

In order to provide the membership with as much time to consider the options as possible, this section includes a summary of the options which will be voted on in the May 16^th meeting.  Voting will start at the meeting, and will be available on-line for an additional week after the meeting takes place.  As indicated earlier this will be the first of two rounds of voting with a “run-off” vote to be held from May 22^nd until May 31^st to select the final plan from the top two options in each area.

The aggregated costs of each option are provided below, and a full financial plan is included on an additional page in this section.

NOTE:  We are working on getting electronic pictures of each option to be posted to the site.  These will be added to the web site before the meeting.

Pool Options

Three options have been assembled for the pool.

Option 1:  Replace the pool with another 6 lane pool and make only necessary modifications to bring the pool up to code.  (This would include expanding the diving well, separating the middle pool, adding a zero entry to the baby pool, fixing the drainage and replacing the deck and filter room.)

Total Aggregate Cost: $1.15 million dollars.
Timing: Within the next 5 years.

Option 2:  Replace the pool with an 8 lane pool and make other necessary modifications to bring the pool up to code.  (This would include expanding the diving well, separating the middle pool, adding a zero entry to the baby pool, fixing the drainage and replacing the deck and filter room.)

Total Aggregate Cost: $1.3 million dollars
Timing: Within the next 5 years.

Option 3: Hold off on replacing the main pool as long as possible, and replace with a 6 lane pool which will meet code.  In addition add a separate 3 lane lap pool on the back of the property to address crowding in the main pool.

Total Aggregate Cost: $1.65 million dollars.
Timing: Lap Pool in 2012.  Main Pool in 5-7 years.

(This option includes additional expense of the lap pool and to maintain the suspended cement deck.  Other costs and risks exist for the main pool.)

Bath House Options

Three options also exist for the Bath House.

Option 1:  Refurbish the existing bath house.  This option would refurbish the existing bath house to meet ADA and code requirements to the greatest extent possible.  Based on the work of our architect it is not possible to meet all code requirements without removing the snack bar.  However, it is possible to meet enough requirements to meet the ADA and current pool codes.  The refurbished bath house could include either the elevator or the ramp.  The ramp is at least as expensive as the elevator option and may be higher.

Total Aggregate Cost: $500,000

Timing: The Upcoming Winter

Option 2: Replace the bath house with a new summer bath house. This option would replace the bath house with a structure which is approximately 25% larger.  The larger structure would meet all code requirements for the current and replaced pool.  It would be moved out towards the parking lot on the slope and would include space for a new filter room under the main facility.

Total Aggregate Cost: $1 million

Timing: The Upcoming Winter or together with the pool in the following years.

Option 3: Replace the bath house with a year around facility including an additional room for meetings.  The main floor would fit the footprint of option 2 above, but an additional second story would be added to accommodate the meeting room.  Again the new structure would meet all code requirements and it would be moved out towards the parking lot to take advantage of the slope.

Total Aggregate Cost: $1.4 million

Timing: The Upcoming Winter or together with the pool in the following years.

NOTE: While we have designs for all of the options above, a “design refinement” stage will be conducted once the direction is chosen.  During the refinement stage members will have a chance to provide additional input to refine the design for both the pool and bath house.
