concrete pier and steel girder support system. We have included the
associated costs with these recommendations in the reserve tables which
include continued improvements over the next four years.
We also observed evidence of some cracking and deterioration on the
concrete surface. We recommend that the structure be periodically
inspected and that crack sealing and surface repairs be accomplished as
required in order to maintain the integrity of the structure.
We observed some small areas of ponding at the edges of the pathway.
This can lead to cracking and deterioration of the concrete. We
recommend that these areas be made to drain properly with small bored
holes through the concrete or other methods.
The pressure-treated wood bridge/ramp is relatively new and in good
condition. We have included a reserve cost for its eventual replacement.
The segmental retaining wall is also new and in good condition. At this
time, we do not anticipate any reserve costs associated with this wall.
7.0 BUILDINGS
7.1 Coldstream Pool/Office Building
Description
The Coldstream building contains both Association management offices
and the swimming pool support spaces, including shower rooms and
storage areas. Part of the swimming pool storage and equipment area was
recently renovated to provide additional office space. A maintenance shop
is also housed in the building.
This building has concrete block, load bearing walls and wood roof rafters
which span from exterior wall to exterior wall. The exterior walls have a
painted stucco surface over the concrete block. The gabled ends have
wood siding exteriors. The roofs are surfaced with wood shakes.
The building has municipal domestic water and sanitary sewer services
and a 208 Volt, three phase electrical service. The office areas are
conditioned by a 5-ton split system air conditioning unit with electric heat.
The new auxiliary office space is conditioned with a 1-1/2-ton, ductless
split system and electric baseboard heaters. An underground propane
storage tank and wall-mounted instantaneous heaters are used for water
heating in the pool shower rooms. There is a small electric hot water
heater for the office area.
Evaluation &
Recommendations
The wood shake roof surface appears to be near the end of its EUL. We
have included a cost estimate for replacement of the roof surface in the
reserve tables. We have also included a cost for periodic cleaning and
treatment of the shingles which may extend the EUL of a new roof
surface. We have also included cost estimates for periodic exterior
painting and repair/replacement of the wood siding and trim.
The interior spaces and finishes are in good condition. It appears that
renovations have been accomplished over the years. We have included
cost estimates in the reserve tables for future renovations of the office
spaces and shower rooms.
