Q & A
Question: Why does the kitchen need to be expanded?
Answer: The size of our kitchen is as it was built in 1984. Over the years, we have
made various renovations to our dining venues, but nothing has been done to increase the
size of our kitchen. With our increased interest in our dining services, our kitchen staff
struggle to meet our current dining needs, let alone service a more casual dining facility.
Question: What will happen if we don’t expand the kitchen into the
Administrative Office?
Answer: If we don’t expand the kitchen into the Administrative Office then we continue
as we are now. We will continue to struggle with our current dining services as the
demand for dining increases. We will not be able to prepare and serve bar snacks and
host a more formal event on the same evening. We will not be able to host a private
function as well as host a Member event on the same evening.
Question: Will any of our recreational facilities be affected during the period of
construction?
Answer: To provide a staging area for the construction and access needed to the areas
under construction, the following areas may be affected:
a) The Playground and Basketball Court will need to be closed for a significant part
of the construction.
b) The Tennis parking lot will need to be devoted to the Contractors’ equipment and
staging of materials.
c) In order to accommodate construction vehicles necessary to build the new Cart
th
Barn and Fitness Center for a period of time, the 9 hole may be needed to be
converted to a PAR 3. This allows us room to stage our golf carts on the area of
th
the 9 hole near the green and accommodate a path for the construction vehicles
to get to the area where the new proposed Cart Barn and Fitness Center will be
located.
d) An area to the right of the porte-cochere where you enter the Clubhouse will be
used as a staging area for construction materials. However, a path will be left for
access to the current Fitness Center and Pool.
e) Individuals wanting to access the golf course and practice facilities may, for a
period of time, need to come via the path on the first hole from Bocaire Blvd.
f) The back side of the driving range will become the primary area used for
individuals seeking to warm up or practice.
Question: Why do we need a new Fitness Center?
Answer: We need to expand the kitchen into the Administrative space. We cannot
increase the footprint of the Clubhouse, so we need to find somewhere for the
Administrative Office to be located. By putting a second floor on a new cart barn, it could
be housed up there, but wouldn’t you rather have a Fitness Center with a view rather than
Administrative Offices with a view?
