CHPOA engages in a number of strategic initiatives on behalf of its members and all the property owners in Cape Haze.  This page contains descriptions of currently active projects and periodic update of project status as posted from time to time.  Check back here to stay abreast of changes in the community and the latest on our strategic initiatives.

What Will Replace The Community Pool?

As was reported in the the last issue of The Fountain, our community swimming pool was removed in January.  That pool, dating from the earliest days of Cape Haze and nearly old enough to be eligible for Social Security, was no longer in compliance with new, more stringent county safety requirements.  Since the costs for bringing the pool into compliance were prohibitive, the membership voted to remove the pool rather than rehabilitate it.  Now the question remains as to how best utilize the space it once occupied.

A committee of CHPOA members has been formed to research options for this space.  An ancillary concern for the committee is how to reclaim the room in the Community Center building that was formally dedicated to pumps, filters, and other pool equipment.  Successful integration of this room into the Community Center could offer approximately 100 square feet of useable common space.

Preliminary informal surveys of some CHPOA members have generated a wide range of suggestions for amenities that could be added to the outdoor space of the Community Center.  Suggestions received so far include a smaller, heated swimming pool, planting areas flanking an expanded patio with more seating, a permanent outdoor bar/serving area near the kitchen, a water feature such as an artificial brook, a gazebo, a play area for children, and even a tennis court.

Over the summer, watch this space to learn the latest information about the project as it becomes available.  Our timeline goal is to have a set of options and related costs ready for formal presentation to the community at the fall meeting of the membership in November.  Ideally, the membership at our annual meeting in January, 2010, will approve one or more of the options for development.
