CENTRAL PARK EXPANSION
2
How Much Will This Cost?

• Estimated Expansion Cost 3,500,000 to
  4,000,000
• For Planning Purposes MUST use a worst case
  scenario of 4,000,000
• Amortized over 30 years with 10 year balloon at
  5.75

3
How Much Does 28,076 Mean to Each Member per
Month

• 28,076 435 Members
• 64.54 per month
• If No Increase in Membership

4
Question

• I heard that we were going to raise our
  membership by about a 100 so it will
• only cost 35 to 40 per month more, but I am not
  sure how this works
• If we only have 24 on our waiting list, how
• are we going to increase our membership
• by 100?
• AND

5

• If We Raise our Fees Somewhere between 35 to 65
  per Month
• Isnt There a Pretty Good Chance
• We are Going to Lose Quite a Few
• Members?
• AND.

6

• If We Lose Too Many Members
• Could We End Up with a Waitlist
• to Get Out of the Club?
• AND.

7

• I Understand That After 10 Years We Are Still
  Going to Owe Over 3 Million
• Is it True We Will Have to Refinance at
• Whatever the Prevailing Rate is at
• That Time?
• AND.

8

• Since We Will Still Owe Over 3 Million Ten Years
  From Now
• Has Anyone Considered What Will Happen
• If We Need To Remodel Our Clubhouse in
• 10 Years? Will We Need another 3 to 5
• Million on Top of the 3 Million we will
• Still Owe?
• AND.

9
There Are Quite a Few More Ands

• I Understand that 2.5 Million Dollars is
• Available to the Club That Does NOT have to be
• Paid Back Specifically for this Project.
• Is this for Real?
• How Does this Offer Work and How do we get
• Signed Up?

10
If We Get 2.5 Million

• Now How Much per Member?
• 16 per month
• With just 20 people to joining from our waitlist

11
Okay I Understand

• 16 per month is pretty easy
• Whats the Catch?

12

• To Take Advantage of This Cash
• We Will Be Required to Make a Few Changes in the
  Design
• These Include

13

• Use Existing Parking Lot and Entry
• 5 New LIGHTED Outdoor Courts Relocated to Open
  Field Area Next to Hunt Club
• Covered Lighted Heated Courts Located where
  Outdoor Courts Are Now NO Columns in Building
• Area Between New Outdoor Courts and Current
  Building One to be Covered in Large Party/Viewing
  Area
• Change Construction Type of New Tennis Building

14
What Kind of Building?

• Structural Tension Membrane Building
• What is That?

15

• Is This an Inflatable Building?
• NO A Structural Tension Building is a Permanent
  Structure that is Fast Becoming the Building Type
  of Choice for Tennis Facilities.

Center Court at Wimbledon
Familiar with this Place?
39
I know its great for Wimbledon, but is it good
enough for Central Park?
40
yeah okay
Thats all well and good, but
we have a really nice club,
our buildings wont match.
We need them to match to keep our club nice
Really?
41
They Dont Match at Wimbledon

Dont All Match at this Beautiful Famous Club in

Huh Buildings Not Exact Match at the US Open

If its good enough for them

• is it maybe, just possibly.
• good enough for our little Tennis Club in
  Kirkland?

The Structured Membrane Building Proposal Offers
the Following Advantages

• Design Flexibility NO Internal Posts means
  expansive free-span areas for maximum floor
  space.
• Quick Building can be put up in 30 to 60 days
  from the point of design agreement and put
  directly over the existing outdoor courts (which
  would be resurfaced two may need to be
  replaced)
• Energy Efficient - Membrane allows daylight to
  penetrate the structure decreasing lighting
  needs. Double wall with insulation is easier to
  heat than concrete.
• More Courts 5 Indoor Heated Lighted Courts
  instead of the proposed 4.
• Still More Court Time 5 Outdoor Lighted Courts
  added on our empty lot to the East. Now we can
  play outdoor on summer nights.
• Less Contentious No need to involve Hunt Club
  Road and rile neighbors

• Okay Im no math major, but even if we somehow
  find all these additional new members..
• Raising our dues 35 or 40 per month is a lot
  more
• than 16.
• Plus, this thing looks really nice
• Im Sold
• So How Do We Get This 2.5 Mil?

49
Umm
Just Bend Over and Pick it up Its Sitting on
the Ground in Front of you
50
Huh?

• Heres the Math
• Current Proposal 3.5 to 4 Million
• Structural Tension Membrane Building covering the
  5 Existing Courts
• Including 5 new lighted outdoor courts 1.2 to
  1.5 Million
• Amount of Money to the Club 2.5 Million
• More Questions/Objections?

51

• Before We Forget
• Did we mention this proposal includes a HUGE
  viewing area which connects up the Tennis
  Building 1 to the NEW Building?

52

• There is a number of people involved in the
  building that have spent a lot of time moving the
  process along and are quite naturally emotionally
  vested in the Concrete Tilt-up Design
• As a result they may have a difficult time
  considering other ideas, so lets try and answer
  what objections this group might have first.
• The City of Kirkland wont allow temporary
  buildings
• A 1. Its not a temporary building
• 2. On July 1, 2010 the City of Kirkland began
  using a new set of codes as required by State Law
  (RCW 19.27). Plans and supporting documentation
  must demonstrate compliance with the 2009 Edition
  International Building Code and the City of
  Kirkland Amendments. See link http//www.ci.kirkl
  and.wa.us/depart/Fire_and_Building/Building_and_Co
  nstruction/Current_Code_Editions.htm Structural
  Membrane Buildings are provided for in section
  3102 of the International Building Code.

53

• If you change anything now, the city could come
  back and delay our permit
• A 1. Lets be frank here. This entire project
  could be delayed for years if it gets voted down
  again due to high costs. The new design actually
  gives the process a better shot at approval.
• 2. The Structural Tension Membrane Building
  will take a fraction of the time to put up vs.
  the Concrete Tilt up.
• 3. We have a legal opinion from a leading Land
  Use legal firm in Bellevue that the building is
  allowable and could be fast tracked through
  permitting.
• 4. We can still use the SEPA and may be able to
  amend parts of any submitted permit

54

• We already spent 180K getting to where we are
  now. We will lose all that investment.
• A 1. First off, we have spent 100K of the
  allotted 180K so far. We can stop where we are
  on these expenditures.
• 2. Write off the 100K as a loss. It makes a
  lot NO sense to commit to a project that costs
  the club 2.5 Million more than we need to spend,
  because we have spent 100K.

55

• The Structural Membrane Buildings are a fire
  hazard.
• A Structure will meet all applicable fire codes
  as non-combustibles and be equipped with
  automatic sprinklers
• This is not a valid issue look back to earlier
  slides for examples of all the Structural
  Membrane facilities used for public places.
• See http//www.rubb.com/technical-fire-approval.p
  hp for specific information regarding the fire
  safety of a sprinklered Structural Membrane
  Building

• Structural Membrane Buildings Wont Last

57

• Worlds first permanent tensioned fabric
  structure turns 35
• Fabric Architecture March 2009
• The worlds first permanent tensioned fabric
  structure remains in good condition 35 years
  later at the University of La Verne in La Verne,
  Calif. The tensioned membrane roofing system
  covers the university structure officially known
  as the Sports Science and Athletics Pavilion. A
  state-of-the-art design at the time of
  construction in 1973. The fabrics strength and
  ability to weather well are reasons the
  University has no plans to replace it any time
  soon.

58

• Structural Membrane Buildings Wont Last
• A For our kind of facility, depending on the
  type of material used, the outer shell should
  last somewhere between 15 to 25 years and
  replacement costs are about 25 of the building
  costs. If you amortize this out it equates to
  about 2 per member per month.
