Administration

CHPOA maintains its Community Center, pool, reading library, property sales board, and beach property for the benefit of its members.  CHPOA also collects and administers a Common Area Maintenance (CAM) fee from property owners, CHPOA members and non-members alike, to maintain the community's common areas such as the entrances to Cape Haze, the fountain, and the trees along the rights of way of all streets.   To learn more about CAM, please click here.

The day-to-day administration of CHPOA is accomplished by the Board of Directors and other volunteers within the community.  The Board is elected by the CHPOA membership and it reports to, and gets its authorization from, the membership at regular meetings throughout the year.

Facilities

The CHPOA Community Center is located at 155 Spaniards Road and is used for community activities and meetings.  Any CHPOA member can reserve the Community Center for private functions as desired by coordinating with Jeanne Corbin at 697-2274.  Members using the Community Center for private functions must conform to the Community Center Usage Policy, a copy of which may be viewed by clicking here.  Users of the Community Center must return the Center to a clean and "ready-to-use" state after their event, including the removal of all trash and garbage from within the Center and disposal in the containers located behind the building. 

The Community Pool, located at the Community Center, has reached its end of life.  Serious problems with the filtration circuit and main drain have placed the pool outside compliance with current Florida safety standards.  Retrofitting to bring the pool up to snuff is prohibitively expensive, and consequently, the membership voted at the January 2009 annual meeting to remove the pool rather than spend any further funds on its maintenance.  A committee is currently looking at alternatives for replacing the pool, possibly with a garden, a water feature, or a smaller, heated pool.  In the interim, the pool has been removed, filled in, and grass has been planted in its place.  To learn the latest about the redesign of our outdoor space, click here.

CHPOA maintains a Community Bulletin Board near the Community Center for listing homes and property for sale within Cape Haze.  Members may post their listings for no charge.  Non-members may post listings for a $50 fee.  For details, check with George Wolthoff at 697-2320 of click here.

CHPOA owns beach property on Don Pedro Island accessible only by boat.  CHPOA maintains a boat dock for use by its members.  Click here for directions and a map to the CHPOA beach property.

The Library is located within the Community Center and is managed through a self-service honor system for check out and return.  Members can donate books to the Library by contacting Ellie Wolthoff at 697-2320.
