Pool Volunteers needed

From the Peterkort Woods Board of Directors

Summer Pool Volunteers

Summer will soon be upon us.  The pool historically opens the week of Memorial Day and closes the week after Labor Day. 

We are in need of Resident Volunteers to manage the State and County pool guidelines.  This year there are a few changes that will require the need for more volunteers than needed in the past. In the past we required only 1 water test every morning – starting this year 1 test every 4 hours from the initial test until closing, likely at 8am, 12pm, and 4pm.

The Board is not sure if it will be easier to tag team each day, or if it will be easier to have one volunteer handle open to close; it will likely be a combination of both. 

The Board is looking for volunteers to train how to test the Chlorine and PH levels (we only test, we do not add chemicals) and how to do a light vacuum in the morning. The opening checklist with test / vacuum / organize furniture / takes about 45 minutes. It is anticipated that the other “4-hour checks” will take about 10 minutes plus your pool commute time. 

The pool is open for 16 weeks so the more volunteers we have, the less each has to do. Due to people’s schedules, it is likely we will have some who can provide the “4-hour checks” but not open. We can be as flexible as we want as long as we get daily coverage. 

We will be flexible with training dates and times to allow all volunteers to get trained, most likely in May.

Thanks for stepping up to help make this a fun summer at the pool for all!

Sincerely, 

The Peterkort Woods Board of Directors

Pool Opening 2025: The pool is open!

Owners should have received a notice about the delayed pool opening this year. The hope was to have it open on May 24th. This did not happen.

The notice mentions an opening date of June 7th.

The pool vendor was able to finish the final steps necessary to open the pool on May 27th. As of 1215pm on that date, the pool is open.

An official notice will go out to all home owners.

Thanks to the 20 Peterkort Woods neighbors who helped get the pool deck and clubhouse ready on May 24th.

Roofing Project

Updated July 28th, 2025

Peterkort Woods homeowners can access important information through the portal managed by AMS. If you have trouble signing in, see AMS contact.

We have 35 buildings in our community. The first three building have been reroofed by Woodstock. More information regarding these buildings can be found in the posted minutes from January, February, and March 2025. This is Phase 1A.

Woodstock bid for and was chosen as the contractor for 20 more buildings that will have their roofs replaced this year. This is Phase 1B. Information regarding these buildings can be found in the ‘Roofing’ folder in the “Updated Roof Evaluation 2025.03.pdf” Woodstock has updated their master schedule. (7/24/25) This is an estimated time table and is subject to change.

Four tasks are tracked on Woodstock’s Roof Schedule document for phase 1b: Siding removal, roof replacement, siding replacement, and painting. As of 7/28/25 eight buildings are listed as 100% complete in all categories. Four others are only lacking painting.

If you are not sure of your building number, a map can be found on the AMS portal under documents/Governing Documents/Maps.pdf.

The remainder of the buildings are scheduled to be completed in 2027. This is also referred to as Phase 2. A contractor has not been chosen for this project.

Information regarding the financing of the roofing project can be found in the Board of Directors meeting minutes from April 14 and May 5th. More detailed information is available in the minutes from May 5, 2025. A draft version of these minutes is posted on the portal.

Updated information about this project is available on the portal under documents/notices/2025/notice of roofing project…(5/7/25).

There was a virtual town hall meeting on May 15th regarding the roofing project. Representatives from Woodstock, AMS, and the Peterkort Woods HOA Board of Directors were present to discuss the project including the scope, schedule, financing, and impact on homeowners. If you missed the meeting, it was recorded and will be posted soon on the AMS portal under weblinks/recordings. Update: As of 6/9/25 it was not posted. AMS reports they are having technical difficulties uploading it.

Important documents regarding a Special Assessment Resolution and Roof Replacement Project Cost Summary were emailed to homeowners on May 30th. For those who do not get their notices electronically, these documents were sent by mail.

If you have any questions or concerns about the roofing project including: timeline, costs, damage to personal property, contact AMS or fill out the form below.

Front Door Hardware

Do you need to replace the hardware for your front door? Read this article by a Peterkort Woods owner, Warren D.

Additional from Warren:

“I have received a couple of calls looking for replacement latches from neighbors with Forest units on the south side of Windwood.  It turns out that the handle sets originally installed in most of those units are not the Better Home Products ones, but made by Quikset (labeled very faintly on the top on the exterior side).  They are two separate pieces on the exterior rather than as one piece.  If you have the Quickset handle sets the latches I have will not fit them, but you can get replacement handle sets at Home Depot or online (where you may be able to find the latches).”

Community Potluck May 13th

The next potluck will be on May 13th at 6pm in the Clubhouse. All Peterkort Woods residents are invited.

Please bring food and drink to share. It is recommended that you bring enough for 4-6 servings.

Plates, cups, and eating utensils will be provided.

This will be the last monthly event of the season.

Peterkort Development on Barnes Road

The following article is from Warren D.

Development of the Peterkort property is starting to gel. I suspect many Peterkort Woods residents have seen the clearing of the land between the Sunset Transit Center and SW Barnes and noticed that clearing is now starting on the north side of SW Barnes. The only specific plans I see are for the land adjacent to the transit center. They plan on four high density buildings there (six stories with retail on the ground floor and apartments above).

For details look at https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/7211ad22-ff33-4d14-8b86-05cd800bb559 beginning at slide 55 and the video at https://www.youtube.com/live/u2mWDUwQzsY?si=OdBloGnQf_PgyQf starting at about 1:25:00. 

Residents of Peterkort Woods should be aware that each of our properties are subject to a Restrictive Covenant Waiving the Right of Remonstrance for Further Development that was signed by Renaissance and recorded by Peterkort Development in 2004. These agreements prohibit future owners (i.e., us) from remonstrating against development of the Peterkort property that conforms to the original Master Plan for that property. All owners should see an exception for that in their original title insurance policies. Before objecting to any development it is a good idea to review that. (I have no idea whether an agreement like this Restrictive Covenant is enforceable.  My purpose in writing this comment is just to make people aware of the fact that these agreements exist so they don’t get blind-sided by them later on.)

Ultimate development of the Peterkort property between Peterkort Woods and Barnes will be separated from homes on the south side of Windwood Way by an “open space” shown on a 2005 Partition Plat of the Peterkort property. The open space is centered on the creek and is about 200 feet wide. It is similar to the space dividing the pool area from the apartment on our north.
