Ranch House Renovation Begins Monday, Aug. 25 
As part of the long-anticipated remodel to the Ranch House, renovation work will begin on Monday, August 25.
Many of these items have been discussed in monthly HOA meetings, featured on the website and newsletter, and presented at the annual meeting (viewable here).  As we fast approach the start date, we want to do our best to communicate some specific dates that will impact Ranch House operations.  Please keep in mind that this is a large project, combining building additions/special assessment items with sorely needed reserve projects, such as roof replacement.  Our priority is to keep all amenities open as much as possible, but some impacts are unavoidable.
As has been discussed, the renovation will be accomplished in 2 phases. Major construction will only take place in each phase between fall/winter/spring.  We are trying to limit disruptions to dates roughly surrounding the period of Labor Day to Memorial Day.  We do not anticipate closures to the interior of the Ranch House during the first phase of work. 
We recognize the importance of clear communication throughout this process and are committed to minimizing disruptions whenever possible. Below are the key details related to the upcoming Phase 1 renovations: 
What to Expect and When
  • The Snack Bar will remain operational through August 17 (limited food options will still be available as we go through our end of summer supplies).
  • The Lifeguards’ last day will be Sunday, August 10 (coinciding with the closure of the slide).
  • The renovation begins Monday, August 25. The recreational pool will be drained, and construction fencing will go up, leaving only the lap lanes and hot tubs open for winter.
  • Lap lanes/hot tubs will temporarily close between Aug. 25 and Sept. 2 to allow for construction staging. Dates may shift slightly, and updates will be provided as work progresses.
  • An additional lap lane/hot tub closure is scheduled from Sept. 22 through Oct. 5 due to roof replacement work nearby.  This is required for life/safety reasons.  Again, we will do our best to proactively communicate any changes to this schedule.
  • A major closure of the lap lanes/hot tubs will take place this spring from March 1 through June 15, for critical renovation work. We understand this is a significant impact and we appreciate your patience.  During this phase of work, the pool deck surrounding the lap pools will be removed/replaced, all coping and tile will be removed/replaced, and the pool will be re-plastered.  This work is planned to be completed while the Recreational pool is in use.
  • The Recreational pool is expected to open around Memorial Day 2026.
  • Tennis Courts will remain open as usual.  There will be construction fencing leading to the courts.  Please note that construction noise will be present. 
What's Being Rennovated?
As communicated previously, this fall/winter/spring, construction crews will:
  • Replace all pool tile, coping, and plaster on all bodies of water.
  • Demolish and fully replace the concrete pool deck with a sand-finished integral color concrete surface.
  • Build the new East Wing addition (on the other side of the fireplace in the great room), featuring family restrooms and a covered patio.
  • Renovate the mailroom, which will be temporarily relocated to a heated unit in the first row of parking by the Ranch House (ADA parking will remain accessible). Completion is targeted for February 2026.
  • Replace the Ranch House roof, with some impact expected in adjacent outdoor areas.  The new roof will be Class A fire rated architectural grade asphalt shingle.
Lap Lanes/Hot Tubs: Important Information
We know the lap lanes and hot tubs are a high priority for many in our community, particularly during the fall/winter/spring. While we are striving to keep them open as much as possible, closures will be necessary.  Please keep in mind that these dates are based on a construction timeline, which is subject to change.  As noted previously, we will do our best to communicate proactively as construction takes place. The dates below were shared in this document, but for the sake of clarity, lap lane/hot tub potential closure dates are as follows:
  • August 25 – September 2 (construction staging/fencing set up)
  • September 22 – October 5 (roof replacement close to the bodies of water)
  • March 1 – June 15, 2026 (full scope of work will be done on the lap pool and surrounding pool deck)
We’re in regular contact with the general contractor to maximize lap lane/hot tub availability and minimize downtime. Underwater noise impacts are difficult to predict, and we’ll monitor closely to determine whether it affects lap lane use. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we work through these variables.
Other Amenities and Services
  • The interior of the Ranch House should remain open during this phase.
  • Fitness classes, community events, and indoor activities will continue as scheduled.  Ali Anderson is coordinating closely with the renovation team to ensure programs continue with minimal disruption.
