On June 25, 2014 the Club announced that the Membership overwhelming supports Phase One of the Horizon Plan with an 84% positive vote. Since then Management has been very busy finalizing the action plan to start the construction of Phase One with the renovation of the Timber Trails Golf Center and the Timber Trails Clubhouse. To date Management continues working with the Contractors in preparation for the scheduled start after Labor Day. At this time the Contractors will begin construction on the Timber Trails Clubhouse. The expectation is to keep the Timber Trails Golf Pro Shop open and fully operating until mid-October. The Club will need to close the Pro Shop for one day while the barn section of the Golf Center is demolished. Management’s goal is to keep the golf course and driving range open until Columbus Day as always. Please note that sections of the Golf Center and the Timber Trails Clubhouse will be fenced off during the construction phase. It is important to remain outside the fenced area for your safety. Project Manager Scott Hall will be overseeing the contractors and sub-contractors on a daily basis. If you have any questions regarding the construction, please contact Operations Manager Tim Brooks at tbrooks@LakeNaomiClub.com or Project Manager Scott Hall at shall@LakeNaomiClub.com. We are all excited to see the detailed plans start to take shape. The Club will be providing updates with pictures through the eblasts and the LNC Facebook Page. These are very exciting times as the Club continues to prepare the amenities for the next 50 years.
Removal of the Gateway Building After careful deliberation and a recommendation from the Gateway Task Force, the Board of Governors and the Board of Trustees approved that the best fiduciary decision is to tear down the structure. Starting the first week of August, contractors will begin to remove the building and parking lot located on the Gateway property, formerly known as the Icehouse. As was specified in the initial vote to acquire this property, the Gateway Task Force completed an engineering study, environmental study and reviewed the local ordinances on this facility. The results have led to the conclusion that the building, due to rot, mold and structural flaws, is of no useful value to the Club. The cost of restoring the building is more than the value it would provide. The funds approved with the initial vote are adequate to cover the cost of the removal and landscaping of the grounds. The entire area will be seeded with grass and will provide an area for light recreational use. The Task Force is still working on some type of gateway signage for the Community and other possible uses for this green space. Everyone is in total agreement that this property is a cornerstone to the entrance of the Lake Naomi – Timber Trails Community and ownership concurs with the Strategic Plan of securing the Community’s borders. In the future, when the Membership identifies a viable use that fits with the financial plan, this property will be ready to carry out those plans. The Task Force thanks everyone for their suggestions and continued interest.
