Our group is proposing a communal space, which preserves the land’s current designation as “community recreation” space. We would like our community to work together to propose ideas about how we can best use this property. Thus far, Village homeowners have proposed: an adventure playground for a variety of ages, with natural aesthetics to blend into our surroundings; a community garden space; an area for our Social Committee gatherings with a raised stage area, restrooms, bocce ball court, and more!
We will be exploring more ideas and any and all financing possibilities in the months to come. If you have any financing options or Plan “B” ideas you would like to explore, please reach out to us!
How about custom home lots for this land?!
Great idea to consider! Typically, residents surrounding new development are fairly receptive to expensive, high-end single family homes being built nearby. The argument generally is that it raises the nearby property values, and doesn’t have too much impact with bell-weather concerns such as traffic.
The HOA is cash poor but property rich with all of the open space it owns. A possible solution to the Pack/Legacy matter is for the HOA to swap property. The HOA owns Lot 401 which portions or all could be exchanged for ownership of the Braden tennis center. As part of the deal the Lot 401 property would be reconfigured to permit the construction of single family homes, and a portion of the proceeds that Mr. Pack would accrue would be used to transform the Braden tennis center into a park/recreational facility.
Innovative idea! Always good to consider all options. With this idea, one would consider what elements of the old tennis facility should be saved vs. demolished for a new recreational facility. Also to consider, would the recreational facility perpetual maintenance and operations be funded from HOA dues, or would residents optionally join a private club with membership dues?
