LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Hello fellow Timberwood residents. I’d like to start this letter by giving a recap of the first “Clubhouse” meeting that was held May 10. This meeting was held to open discussion between residents and Board members regarding the direction the Board was taking towards either remodeling or rebuilding the clubhouse. There were approximately 80 residents in attendance. During the meeting, many ideas were shared between the residents and Board members regarding the direction to take with the clubhouse. There was overwhelming consensus among the attendees that the best course of action would be to tear down the existing clubhouse and build a new clubhouse. This consensus is consistent with the responses that we received from the original survey. The Board members shared information regarding preliminary cost projections, financing options and timeline guestimates. As I write this letter at the beginning of June, the next steps include a meeting with the City of San Antonio to determine design criteria, identification of infrastructure requirements, and preliminary design characteristics. At this point, no final designs decisions have been made, but the Board is moving in the direction of a full tear down and replacement of the clubhouse. The new clubhouse will be about twice the size of the current clubhouse. The design will be a single story design that will include larger main meeting room, a larger fitness center, at least one (maybe two) additional smaller meeting rooms, a separate game room, larger storage room, larger kitchen, an office space, and additional bathrooms. Once we have the
meeting with the City Development Services Department, we can begin the actual design of the building. One of the major challenges of this project will be handling the meetings and events that normally occur at the clubhouse…..without a clubhouse. Some of the events can be held at the pavilion, others will be moved to alternative locations, and the rentals will be suspended until the new building is completed. It will be challenging, but will be worth the sacrifice. A few park projects that are currently in the works include the installation of a new swing set, painting of the Pavilion, and rebuilding of the sand volleyball court. The new volleyball court will include a ground border to retain the sand and prevent the grass burrs from entering the court, and a net system that will keep the ball from leaving the court area.
