AOBO response to homeowners' concerns re Twin Bridges pool

Dear Phase II Homeowners:

You recently received a letter from concerned owners in regards to the Twin Bridges Pool location vote. With all due respect to the owners of this letter we believe there are several errors and\or misunderstandings reflected in the letter.

1. This vote does not constitute permission to build a pool. In order to build a pool it will be necessary for another vote by all homeowners (67%) to approve both the actual location and the cost of building the pool as well as a vote (50%)authorizing the borrowing of money. This could be financed through a bank loan and/or a resort fee. The current vote does not give the Board carte blanche to build the pool. The vote is intended to determine if an alternative location in Phase II has the necessary approval of the Phase II owners to incur the cost of getting specific engineering, plans, and cost estimates.

It is true that if permission is received from Phase II to proceed with consideration of locating a pool in the Twin Bridges area there will be another vote which will include all Phases, not just Phase II. That vote will require approval of 67% of all members. It will not require approval of 67% of only Phase II owners.

2. No Board member owns a unit in Phase IIIA.  There is a Phase IIIB owner on the Board.

3. At the Board meeting there was a discussion of an advisory vote on a location in the twin bridges area. Ben spoke against it that saying that it would delay the process since we ultimately would have to get Phase approval of a location. That vote requires 67% approval. If this was a straw vote there would have been no statement about the necessary approval level and the fact a non-vote is a negative vote.

4. The straw vote was not how it was left at the conclusion of the meeting. All the Board members believe the motion was made and approved to seek Phase II permission to for an alternative pool site in the twin bridges area. The motion was to take this out as a vote of the Phase II owners not a straw vote. The goal was to know whether we could pursue a location in the twin bridges area before we incurred the expense to determine the exact location, its design and its costs. It was the Board's intent that we would probably solicit designs and costs for the base yard and for a twin bridges pool and then make a decision as to which one option to present to the owners. All of the Board members, Rental Committee Chairs and our two onsite rental agents reviewed the letter that was sent to Phase II owners and revisions were made based on their input.

5. Please keep in mind the objective is to find the best location that optimizes the return to all owners for the investment of time, disruption, and money to be invested in a pool construction project.

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors of the Association of Beachhouse Owners of Kiahuna Plantation
