It seems we have this scare each year. What is the repair about, any word on what the problem is?
I have had a question raised in this Forum several times about the contribution from F,G,H,I,J and K owners. The cost per unit used to be listed in our annual budget, but the fog has rolled in and we can no longer see a breakdown of our Million Dollar Maintenance fee.
Any chance our boards could be preparing next years budget earlier this year to get time for a more transparent budget?. At least we can then talk about the importance of what is happening to us. How much is the Thistle Lodge and the One bedroom units in A to E unit owners contributing.
Could we construct a second pool in front of H and I,J,K, a second pool under our own control like other resorts have done having as a back-up pool for use during our (seems to be) annual pool repairs?. I feel the pool costs are eating us up, could it be the reason for not showing actual cost to us? I have experienced weddings at Thistle Lodge that blocked the pool off from our use. I have the feeling we are paying more than the $50 that Sundial charges owners per unit in rental when not used by the owners. I think our fee was around 10% of our maintenance fee. More than our property taxes. Someone please dig into the budget for answers.

The only issue regarding pool repairs, for me, is that the bottom lane stripes are no longer there, complicating lap swimming. This repair, I suspect, is a big deal requiring much downtime. As much as I would like the stripes, it might not be worth the trouble, unless it could be piggybacked with other major repairs. It is not an annual issue.

I would definitely be against an additional pool, especially one destroying the views and route to the beach that we H,I,J,K denizens currently enjoy. I, and my kids and grandkids, use the pool fairly often, but only in short (<30 min.) bursts; we use the beach far more often, and it is the main attraction for us. The issue is moot, though, since there is not enough real estate available in these areas to support any kind of functional pool. There could be room in front of A – F buildings, but, again, I would hate to see a pool go in there.

A wedding or reception that “blocks the pool off from our use” is unacceptable. I have never experienced this in my many years, but if it has occurred, we need to do something to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Is there an info on the date of the repair yet? Thanks!

We received info that the repair starts app. Sept 10th and will last 2 weeks. This info was in the annual meeting email. We are VERY upset as we own the 2 weeks the pool will be closed.
