Evaluation & Recommendations All of the pool shells, including the plaster surface, ceramic tile and perimeter coping, generally appear to be in good condition. There were no reports of any indeterminate leakage. The underground circulation piping for the Coldstream pool has been replaced within the last few years. Mr. Hamilton reported that the “white coat” was refinished at Coldstream approximately 5 years ago, at Summerfield this year, and West Winds was scheduled for 2014. This work is typically accomplished every seven years or so. The perimeter ceramic tile and coping typically has a longer EUL and may be replaced with every alternate white coat. In addition to the refinish work we recommend that funds be accumulated in the long term for eventual major repairs or replacement of the concrete pool shell. Settlement and cracking may occur, as well as general deterioration of the concrete which can lead to leaks. We have also included a cost estimate for work in this regard in the reserve tables. The concrete decks are generally in good condition. We observed some previously sealed cracks, as well as partial replacements of the decks. Concrete flatwork can have a life span of 50 to 70 years or more; however replacement usually occurs incrementally as required. Therefore we have included a periodic cost in the reserve tables for replacement of a small percentage of the concrete decks every few years. The wood deck and deck structure at West Winds pool is generally in good condition. It appears that the wood structure is original to construction of the pool and that the deck boards have been subsequently replaced with a composite material. We anticipate that when the deck boards require replacement again that some refurbishment will be required of the wood deck structure. We have provided a cost estimate in the reserve tables based on this scenario. All of the pool equipment appeared to be in good condition. This type of equipment typically requires replacement about every 10 years. 8.2 Pool Accessories Description Evaluation & Recommendations 8.3 Pool Site Features Description Each pool has entry ladders and lifeguard stands. Summerfield is the only pool with a diving board. Coldstream pool has a spiral waterslide feature. Pool deck accessories include: furniture with aluminum frames and vinyl strapping. There are also large fixed umbrellas at each of the swimming pools. All of the pool accessories are currently in good condition. We have included cost estimates for their replacement in the reserve tables based on current condition and typical life spans for these types of components. All of the swimming pools have perimeter fencing that is factory-finished, tubular aluminum. In addition, West Winds pool has a wood railing at the perimeter of the composite portion of the pool deck. Coldstream pool has a stacked stone retaining wall running between the Lake Linganore New Market, Maryland Page 13
