CENTRAL PARK EXPANSION

How Much Will This Cost? Estimated Expansion Cost $3,500,000 to $4,000,000 For Planning Purposes MUST use a worst case scenario of $4,000,000 Amortized over 30 years with 10 year balloon at 5.75%

How Much Does $28,076 Mean to Each Member per Month $28,076 ÷ 435 Members = $64.54 per month If No Increase in Membership

Question I heard that we were going to raise our membership by about a 100 so it will only cost $35 to $40 per month more, but I am not sure how this works… “If we only have 24 on our waiting list, how are we going to increase our membership by 100?” AND

If We Raise our Fees Somewhere between $35 to $65 per Month… Isn’t There a Pretty Good Chance We are Going to Lose Quite a Few Members? AND….

If We Lose Too Many Members… Could We End Up with a Waitlist to Get Out of the Club? AND….

I Understand That After 10 Years We Are Still Going to Owe Over 3 Million… Is it True We Will Have to Refinance at Whatever the Prevailing Rate is at That Time? AND….

Since We Will Still Owe Over 3 Million Ten Years From Now… Has Anyone Considered What Will Happen If We Need To Remodel Our Clubhouse in 10 Years? Will We Need another 3 to 5 Million on Top of the 3+ Million we will Still Owe? AND….

There Are Quite a Few More “Ands” “I Understand that 2.5 Million Dollars is Available to the Club That Does NOT have to be Paid Back Specifically for this Project.” Is this for Real? How Does this Offer Work and How do we get Signed Up?

If We Get 2.5 Million Now How Much per Member? $16 per month With just 20 people to joining from our waitlist

Okay I Understand $16 per month is pretty easy What’s the Catch?

To Take Advantage of This Cash We Will Be Required to Make a Few Changes in the Design These Include:

Use Existing Parking Lot and Entry 5 New LIGHTED Outdoor Courts Relocated to Open Field Area Next to Hunt Club Covered Lighted Heated Courts Located where Outdoor Courts Are Now – NO Columns in Building Area Between New Outdoor Courts and Current Building One to be Covered in Large Party/Viewing Area Change Construction Type of New Tennis Building

What Kind of Building? Structural Tension Membrane Building What is That?

Is This an Inflatable Building? NO… A Structural Tension Building is a Permanent Structure that is Fast Becoming the Building Type of Choice for Tennis Facilities. Take a Look

Familiar with this Place? Center Court at Wimbledon Structural Tension Membrane New in 2011

I know it’s great for Wimbledon, but is it good enough for Central Park?

“yeah okay” “our buildings won’t match.” “That’s all well and good, but…” “we have a really nice club, “ “We need them to match to keep our club nice” Really?

They Don’t Match at Wimbledon

Don’t All Match at this Beautiful Famous Club in Key Biscayne FL

Hey… They Don’t Match at the Tennis Club of Paris Either

Huh… Buildings Not Exact Match at the US Open

If it’s good enough for them… is it maybe…, just possibly…. good enough for our little Tennis Club in Kirkland?

Design Flexibility – NO Internal Posts means expansive free-span areas for maximum floor space. Quick – Building can be put up in 30 to 60 days from the point of design agreement and put directly over the existing outdoor courts (which would be resurfaced – two may need to be replaced) Energy Efficient - Membrane allows daylight to penetrate the structure decreasing lighting needs. Double wall with insulation is easier to heat than concrete. More Courts – 5 Indoor Heated Lighted Courts instead of the proposed 4. Still More Court Time – 5 Outdoor Lighted Courts added on our empty lot to the East. Now we can play outdoor on summer nights. Less Contentious – No need to involve Hunt Club Road and rile neighbors The Structured Membrane Building Proposal Offers the Following Advantages:

Okay I’m no math major, but even if we somehow find all these additional new members….. Raising our dues $35 or $40 per month is a lot more than $16. Plus, this thing looks really nice I’m Sold So How Do We Get This 2.5 Mil?

Umm… Just Bend Over and Pick it up… It’s Sitting on the Ground in Front of you

Huh? Here’s the Math Current Proposal $3.5 to 4 Million Structural Tension Membrane Building covering the 5 Existing Courts Including 5 new lighted outdoor courts $1.2 to 1.5 Million Amount of Money to the Club… $2.5 Million More Questions/Objections?

Before We Forget… Did we mention this proposal includes a HUGE viewing area which connects up the Tennis Building 1 to the NEW Building?

There is a number of people involved in the building that have spent a lot of time moving the process along and are quite naturally emotionally vested in the Concrete Tilt-up Design As a result they may have a difficult time considering other ideas, so lets try and answer what objections this group might have first. The City of Kirkland won’t allow temporary buildings A 1. It’s not a temporary building 2. On July 1, 2010 the City of Kirkland began using a new set of codes as required by State Law (RCW 19.27). Plans and supporting documentation must demonstrate compliance with the 2009 Edition International Building Code and the City of Kirkland Amendments. See link http://www.ci.kirkland.wa.us/depart/Fire_and_Building/Building_and_Construction/Current_Code_Editions.htm Structural Membrane Buildings are provided for in section 3102 of the International Building Code.

If you change anything now, the city could come back and delay our permit A 1. Let’s be frank here. This entire project could be delayed for years if it gets voted down again due to high costs. The new design actually gives the process a better shot at approval. 2. The Structural Tension Membrane Building will take a fraction of the time to put up vs. the Concrete Tilt up. 3. We have a legal opinion from a leading Land Use legal firm in Bellevue that the building is allowable and could be fast tracked through permitting. 4. We can still use the SEPA and may be able to amend parts of any submitted permit

We already spent $180K getting to where we are now. We will lose all that investment. A 1. First off, we have spent $100K of the allotted 180K so far. We can stop where we are on these expenditures. 2. Write off the $100K as a loss. It makes a lot NO sense to commit to a project that costs the club $2.5 Million more than we need to spend, because we have spent $100K.

The Structural Membrane Buildings are a fire hazard. A Structure will meet all applicable fire codes as non-combustibles and be equipped with automatic sprinklers This is not a valid issue – look back to earlier slides for examples of all the Structural Membrane facilities used for public places. See http://www.rubb.com/technical-fire-approval.php for specific information regarding the fire safety of a sprinklered Structural Membrane Building

Structural Membrane Buildings Won’t Last

World’s first permanent tensioned fabric structure turns 35 Fabric Architecture | March 2009 The world’s first permanent tensioned fabric structure remains in good condition 35 years later at the University of La Verne in La Verne, Calif. The tensioned membrane roofing system covers the university structure officially known as the Sports Science and Athletics Pavilion. A state-of-the-art design at the time of construction in 1973. “The fabric’s strength and ability to weather well are reasons the University has no plans to replace it any time soon.”

Structural Membrane Buildings Won’t Last A For our kind of facility, depending on the type of material used, the outer shell should last somewhere between 15 to 25 years and replacement costs are about 25% of the building costs. If you amortize this out it equates to about $2 per member per month.
