Save the date!

This is the day many residents have been waiting for. Residents should have received a letter from Armstrong Management announcing the pool opening along with 2006 Pool Rules and Regulations, Hours of Operation and an application for membership. The Membership Application must be returned to Armstrong by May 1st. Armstrong will mail Pool Passes to residents prior to May 27th.

1/15/2005: Pool/Tennis Complex...

Good news! A recent letter form Van Metre announced the county approval of the recreational facilities long on the drawing boards. The delay was caused by the implementation of the revised comprehensive plan in 2003 that ultimately put Raspberry Falls into a planning district restricting this type of facility. Long negotiations with county lawyers and some modifications to the plan resulted in final approval. Van Metre is predicting completion by the 4th of July, 2005.

11/17/2004: Pool/Tennis Complex...

As of this date, the county has not approved the final pool/tennis complex plans. Van Metre indicates all outstanding issues with the county have been addressed and they are waiting for the county to give final approval. Additional delays may jeopardize opening next spring/summer.

8/23/2004: Pool/Tennis Update...

County in final review stages for the pool and tennis complex. Pool to start construction as soon as possible after final approval. Target completion is late spring, 2005. Merv Forney has official plans filed with the county that are under their review. These plans are subject to change due to county requirements. There are architectural plans available for viewing in the Marquis model. Again, subject to change.
