RENOVATION PROJECT ISSUES Attachment

At the Special Board Meeting held on November 9, 2020, some questionable statements were made; the following “Q&A” will clarify those statements and answer other questions that have arisen about the building projects.

1. Will the mold/moisture issues be totally remedied with this renovation ?

Yes. The entire Clubhouse has already been treated by Certified Mold Free Corporation, a fully accredited company and a leader in this field. In addition, the completed work has been inspected and approved by another firm, Pro Lab Company. The moisture intrusions which cause mold problems will be fully addressed with the new systems that remove mois- ture before air enters the building. This is the exact same system that would be used in a totally new building. In addition, all wall board and ceilings in the renovated areas will be replaced. 2. Will all the A/C ducts in the renovated building be replaced? If not, why not ? Currently remediation and testing are being done. At the time of renovation drywall will be removed and each and every duct will be tested, and then certified mold free and treated or replaced, if necessary. Presently there is no pressurized air flow system, but at the com- pletion of renovation a pressurize system will be installed so the problem does not reoccur. 3. What about the water intrusion on the north side of the building along the staircase ? The water intrusion was addressed when the Porte Co-Chere was reconstructed two years ago. The north side of the building was excavated, the concrete wall was waterproofed and drains were installed, diverting water away from the building and eliminating any future intrusion from the former glimmer pools. 4. What has been done to address the flooding at the loading dock? Five years ago, a grinder pump was installed in the catch bin which effectively drains this area during rain storms. The site plan includes additional drainage improvements. 5. Is the current/renovated building in code with respect to flood plain levels? Yes, according to Southern Design Civil Engineers, a firm that we have relied on for over 35 years. The height of the building foundation is within code. The issue, however, is not the building height but the grading around the building. The budget provides for all the neces- sary work needed to address this issue. The two severe storm experiences we have had in the past (90’s) involved over 20” of rain in 24 hours and there was no flooding in the club- house. 6. Have we satisfactorily addressed the leaks in the Sports Bar roof? Yes. The egregious leaks have been eliminated. The roof is designed to admit light and air so it was never advertised as leakproof. However, except for heavy, windy, rains, the area is dry enough to enjoy.
