  16. Children’s Play Area ( Age’s 2-12) • HOA Annual Meeting Brief

  17. Why are we considering a Play Area • Requested by Home Owners………. • Several attendees formally asked at our annual HOA session Feb/2013 could the home owners create a community playground/area in COCA lake similar to tennis courts and swimming facilities. • The HOA board at it’s next executive session agreed to take the item under advisement and do a preliminary analysis on the possibility of creating a community play area.

  18. Boards Considerations……. Our review and preliminary work included looking at many factors we as Home Owners have to consider when we think about adding a playground to the community? Value to community. Cost to community one time. Sustaining maintenance cost. Liability and Insurance concerns. How to best manage and maintain overtime.

  19. A summary of our findings; • Value Positive or Negative • Positives; • Increase in Property value where play areas present and maintained 1.5% to 7%. • Attractive to younger families locating in area or relocating from other Columbus areas • Add controlled areas for centralizing community play. • Negatives; • Maintenance, Liability and security.

  20. Cost and other considerations • Initial costs; • Cost ranges go from $3,000 to $75,000 • The community could phase the play area in different stages and grow over time with Initial One time Costs From $10 to $15 thousand. • Sustainment maintenance costs; • Most equipment warranted for 5 to 15 years then wear out estimated to be a % of Initial costs. Minor • Liability/Insurance; We will need to revisit but currently our liability insurance will cover a play area and equipment.

  21. Examples Our limits are cost and design and there are lot of options & ways to go here.

  22. What would our next steps be and how would we go about it??. • Establish a Play area Sub-committee of interested home owners …. That would work with the board and accomplish the following……………… • Determine possible location within the community to best serve the community from a safety, security and site perspective using HOA property • Current pool/tennis area can accommodate • Research equipment and sources available to the community. • Research how other HOA’s and communities have addressed. • Come up with broad options available for consideration.. Can we afford it???? Do we raise additional funds other than HOA money ??? • In essence create a plan that the community can approve if it deems it appropriate.

  23. Next Steps for Us.. • Recommended next steps for tonight on the proposed play area • Start the action to Create sub-committee to develop “Full study” using current information and addressing all aspects of creating a Children’s Play Area. • The creation of the play area is a major action for the community and once the study is complete the community will based on the study’s findings have the opportunity to vote either “Yea or Nay” on moving forward. (hopefully within 120 days of this vote). The vote can be done by letter vote responses from the community. • Tonight home owners should vote at this meeting on a motion to move forward with the study or not, by Authorizing board to establish • “Children's Play Area (2-12) sub-committee” for study development, planning, oversight and reporting.  

  24. Discussion from the floor • Discussion; • Motion on Sub-committee….

  25. Next Year’s Meeting … date / place Board Motion: Authorize Board to coordinate a date and location in February 2015 for the next Annual Meeting; time and date to be announced in the web site and by placards posted at entrances.
