IN RESPONSE TO THE MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT
To: YARCOBR Owners and Residents:
CHICKEE BAR COST:
See attached architectural drawings stating that the NEW Chickee Bar square footage is 1,733sf, not 6,200sf. In the statement the reconstruction was $2,388,000, there is no mention of the huge amount of man hours put in by our own maintenance staff that worked on the Chickee Bar.
ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS:
Assessments are in everyone's statements. Every quarter, every unit pays approximately $5,250 in Club dues & Building condominium fees, most people pay more than that and a few people pay less. Each household sends money or writes a check every three months to the YARCOBR for approximately $5,250 which is collected by Castle. That's $21,000 a year, we have 366 units which makes the total amount paid $7,686,000. $7,686,000 divided by the number of days in a year (365) equals $21,000 a day. This number includes none of the other fees and services for which we are charged separately. Food, boat slip etc.
CLUBHOUSE ROOF REPAIR:
The estimate I got From Niel's Roofing is not on patching the roof it’s for replacing the TPO roof. See estimate. The 5/20/22 clubhouse Proposal quotes $117,000 for roof replacement only. Then an additional $25,000 for Truss Repair and $6,500 for fascia a whopping $149,000 total! The PSI Roofing work $49,600 from today's letter is for patching not replacing the roof and truss repair. The truss repairs are $2,000 at best and gutters and fascia were included in the $24,700 quote. Patching a roof, is considerably cheaper than replacing the roof. You are now talking about a $15,000 job. Everyone please remember that this is your money which will be spent. This is all very overpriced and an example of recklessness. Again who profits? There is a constant reference to the Falcon report for everything. Our building report is riddled with errors. Falcon reports an old A/C Disconnect box as "Life threatening" & requiring immediate replacement. The box was connected to nothing it was abandoned and never removed. They also state our oil tank needs immediate replacement because it is badly rusted. We don't have any oil tanks!
CLUB BUDGET:
I was not referring to just the club budget. My point was on full operations and cost with Castle as apposed to self management. Way too many parts to explain in a simple paragraph. I would not mind discussing this with anyone over coffee.
SWIMMING POOLS:
Attached are the three reports from the Florida Health Department as you can see only the "A" pool passed. The Chickee Bar pool has broken/missing gutter tile & black algae. The F spa has eye returns missing. The I pool PH feeder is not working. All of these issues had nothing to do with the weather.
When are you guys going to finally work on the roof?
Why don’t you allow people with far more expertise in construction to run this project. Stick to just attacking people personally you are far better at it.
