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.

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.
