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

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,

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.
