Membership Approves Special Assessment for Shore Armoring Project
The Admirals Cove Beach Club Membership approved the special assessment for shore armoring in the recent ballot. The Tellers Committee announced the results at a special meeting on November 6, 2021. Ballots were mailed on October 4 to all 476 eligible ACBC members. A total of 268 valid ballots were returned by the November 5th deadline. The tally was 165 “yes” votes (62%) and 103 “no” votes (38%). A simple majority was required for approval. The purpose of the assessment is to protect our refurbished pool, buildings and other common property from the increased windstorms and king tides which threaten them. The amount of the approved assessment is $380 for each regular lot and $190 for each non-perc lot. Billing for the assessment will occur at the same time as the annual dues in January. If they choose, members will be able to take advantage of several payment options that will be offered in the billing. Members may also pay in full in advance if they choose, by mailing a check to ACBC, PO Box 366, Coupeville, WA 98239, or by contacting Branch Business Services at 360 678 7543, noting their payment is for the Shore Armoring Assessment. What’s next? Our Board will approve and distribute a Request for Quotations for qualified firms and individuals. This is a three-phase project. Phase I involves the investigation and analysis of possible alternatives. Phase II will include design and permitting. Many laws and regulations require numerous permits, inspections and agency approvals. After Phase II we will know precisely what the shore armoring will look like and exactly what it will cost. Phase III includes the actual construction of the project on our shore. The Board hopes construction can be completed before next summer. The duration of the permitting process will be the biggest factor in meeting that timeline. The initial parameters of the project are described in the Geocoastal/Geotechnical Report still posted on the ACBC website. Members who are delinquent in their dues and therefore not in good standing are required to pay this assessment plus all outstanding balances. Comments are closed.
