"This
is probably asking a lot of money from all to benefit a very few."

"I
favor a resonably priced quickly available small Rec Center. This would
keep me from moving." |

"A
recreation center would be far too expensive because we are lacking the
population base to support it. What will end up happening is that 100% of
the community will subsidize the 15% that actually use the facility."

"The
question is funding. The community should not be taxed for what generally
is a special use facility. I have kids so I would use it but I still believe
that if the community provides the land & customers that an outside entity
should build it with a for profit motive. That way those who use it pay
for it and in the long run it will be a better customer focused facility,
not a government run mill stone. So yes I want a facilty that I can join
based on the services provided and if the services are not provided I can
quit or go elsewhere. It should not be mandated via taxes."

"I'm
not sure I agree with process that is being employed. Rather than the community
being able to see and hear actual plans prior to funding this project, we
are being asked to fund it first, and then hear what we are getting second.
Reasonable dues increases make sense, but not a 16 year "catch-up" in the
span of 3 years (based on a dues increase back in 1999 - from $82 per year
to $100 per year). Let's determine what it is that our community desires,
wnat we can afford, and what (if any) future dues and membership fees would
be required to make a Rec Center a reality. Also, what requirements would
these figures be based on (e.g. the number of dues-paying homes, the minumum
number of fee-paying members, who guarantees the bonds (if any are used).
My feeling is that our community needs feasibility study results & answers
first, then lets bring it back to us for decisions. Please don't assume
that because you are a delegate to the CPN Master Assn that your community
supports your desire to move forward with this project." |

"Why
don't you replace the sprinkler systems in the common areas and parkway,
which haven't been working properly for years first, before you start thinking
about wasting the homeowners money. Also, plant trees in the parkway that
have died from no water. Give me a break!!!!!!" |

"If
I wanted a rec center, I would have moved to Highlands Ranch. I don't want
to pay for this, if it is built and doesn't pay out, who pays. What's the
down side risk. People have every right to go join athletic clubs, those
who choose not should not have to pay for who choose. I see nothing wrong
with using the Castle Rock Recreation Center. Has anyone asked Castle Rock
if they plan on building an additional Recreation Center, if so what's the
impact to this proposed project? Without detail plans, obtaining easment
waver from the power companies, possible environmental impact study, costs
and risk identified, this doesn't sound like a prudent capital expenditure.
What size facility, parking spaces, size and number of athletic fields.
In addition, it should be voted on by the homeowners." |

"I
attended the annual Master Assn meeting this past week and it was the first
I heard about the proposed rec center for CPN. We feel strongly that the
Parks Authority should foot the bill for a feasibility study. There is money
in the budget which can be allocated for the study. It should run around
$40,000-$50,000 max. No way should the board vote to increase the Master
Assn dues by 115% just to fund a feasibility study. Even if the funds were
not already available, that is way too much to assess for a $40,000 feasibility
study. That is $200,000 and what happens to the balance of our money? As
a resident of CPN I want to know exactly what the initial cost will be to
build such a facility and what the ongoing costs will be to maintain such
a facility BEFORE the Master Assn increases my dues to cover something that
may not even be wanted by the community or be economically feasible. You
don't raise the dues first and then find out, the proper way is to use current
budget dollars to fund a study, if the majority of the community wants the
study, and then tell us what the proposed costs are and how much it will
raise the dues to fund whatever is proposed. PLEASE send out another survey
to ALL the residents so that everyone can voice their opinion. A mere 299
surveys from last year is in no way representative of the current community
of almost 2,000 homes. Thank you." |

a company such as 24 hour fitness build a building and make a profit, not
the community." |

"Everything
should be subscription based. Already pay enough taxes and hence do not
want to pay more dues over and above all that I pay. If I want to use any
of the facilities if the center is built, then I would prefer to pay a higher
membership. Am on the road all the time and hence I feel that "why should
I pay for something I will never get to use"!!" |

to provide for the youth in our community." |
