SROA's January Aquatics Update

We're happy to report that the three owner workshops held in Portland, Eugene, and Sunriver mid-January were deemed a huge success by the majority of the more than 200 homeowners who attended. The purpose of these sessions was to allow the Group Mackenzie design team to share their initial vision for aquatics and Amphitheater site design, ask specific questions of owners, and have homeowners share their views of what would be best for Sunriver in terms of the site's development.

Attendees were asked to complete detailed questionnaires which Group Mackenzie collected and then tabulated and analyzed the results. They are using this data along with the wealth of information already available to them, to create refined amenity options and plans for the site. Group Mackenzie will present their work to date at another owners workshop at the Great Hall in Sunriver on Saturday, February 6 from 4 to 7 p.m.

This is not the end of the process. We will be using our Web site to keep you up to date on the progress and provide an ongoing opportunity for you to comment. Group Mackenzie will continue to refine their proposal during February and March, and present a conceptual plan for the 22-acre site and amenity construction cost estimates at the March 20 SROA Board of Directors meeting. The board will then have about one month to prepare the ballot measure for the 2010 annual election.

If you attended one of the January workshops, thank you. Your participation is essential to achieve what is best for Sunriver. We hope you continue to be engaged in this development process and look forward to seeing you at future owner forums and workshops.
