| 356 | Anonymous | just tonight a lady and her small children were complaining loudly about lack of access to the shallow end of Town Centre Pool because of a water aerobics class. It is really unfortunate that she chose to bring her young children to swim, while she was fully clothed, and then have the audacity to complain about safety of her children in the deep end since they could not swim in the middle of the class. It is people like her that unfortunately make this petition necessary. |
| 357 | Nicole Chartier | I am happy with the use of the competitive teams to use our facilities. It is great that you keep us informed of closed facilities due to team usage. I think it would be good during cetain times of the year to consider certain parts of the facilities to be closed to due to competive practice or meets or matches,ect... Thanks for keeping other areas open for us to have options for swiming, tennis, hiking, running, ect... |

| 366 | Paolo Papi | For completeness of information, I need to share the following:
1) The mentioned “individual complaint” are actually the feedback from ALL the homeowners in Calistoga Way and Calistoga Ct, the closest area to the Bella pool. This could be easily extended to all the Bella Mar homeowners. Except one family, ALL the rest expressed concern about the current use of the pool. So, I’m not sure why that comment on “individuals” was made above (technically you are right, also when you have 100% of agreement, that majority is made by individuals :-) ).
2) From the petition above it looks that a few selfish Bella Mar homeowners don’t care about our swim team and would just like to stop activities in order to use the pool for their personal enjoyment. Well, let’s explain how things are in reality. Last year there was 1 team only using the Bella Mar lap pool every morning during Summer, and nobody here complained. That was done in the right way. This year, without involving the Bella Ma homeowners in some feedback to see what could have been their position, the swim team has created a new team, the blue team, and planned to use the lap pool also in the afternoons until 8:30pm, for all Summer. Well, in case you haven’t been at the pool during the swimming practice, just go and check. There is a very big crowd in all the pool area, the playground, the parking lot, everywhere around the area. That is normal, and is acceptable as long as it is not every day, both morning and afternoon until 8:30pm, for all Summer, just in that same area ! This is why the Bella Mar homeowners decided to ask HOA for a more balanced usage of the lap pool we have in Steiner Ranch. From the expected plan to only use Bella Mar morning and afternoon for all Summer, with the resulting situation you can imagine around here, all the time, we just proposed HOA to consider to have some of practice also done in John Simpson, to BALANCE THINGS. We are not a few selfish individuals that don’t get the importance of swimming: we are the majority of the Bella Mar homeowners that would just like to see a more reasonable and balance approach to the usage of our pools. Keep in mind that we also get the burden of the swimming events starting at 6:30am each other Saturday with very loud speakers, but we have never complained about it. But for practice, you cannot just expect to have everything done in the Bella Mar pool, morning and afternoons for all Summer, all we have been asking HOA is just to investigate and determine what could be done better here. The “dilemma” you mentioned is their work, and I’m sure they will do it is the BEST way, first of all based upon the homeowners feedback. And in general feedback should be requested providing ALL the info that can help people making the right choice.
We all want our kids to swim, but at the same time here in Bella Mar we are frustrated that the lap pool could be used all the day, for all Summer, almost as a private swim team facility. We are a community, let’s do things accordingly, SHARING things in the best possible way, and avoiding to monopolize structures. That’s all we asked HOA. |

| 369 | Suzanne Zanot | There appear to be plenty of pools here for multi-usage. Most of the time when we visit a pool, it is uncrowded. Are there adult only swim times? If not, there should be. That might alleviate some of the conflicts. |

| 373 | Krista Costilow | I believe the activities offered in our neighborhood are part of what makes it so special. I am all for a little inconvenience to keep the programs that keep our neighborhood cohesive and instill confidence in our children. |

| 377 | Glen Kuykendall | We would like SRMA and SRROA to understand that while at times individuals may be inconvenienced due to team sports, it is our preference that certain facilities be favored for team sports while other facilities are left unreserved and available to individual homeowners. |
| 378 | Jean Nulf | Being a long time Steiner resident of 10 years, I am extremely grateful for all of the facilities that have been developed in this neighborhood. Facilities that allow me and my children easy access for practices, games and swim meets. While my children are sometimes disappointed when they would like to play a pick up game in a certain park, or swim in a SPECIFIC pool that is in use, overall, SHARING these facilities is well worth and part of the price of having them. The altenative, I speak from experience, of driving miles in traffic and camping out during a practice for an hour or more is quite unpleasant. We teach our children to share perhaps some of newer adult ressidents should be taught as well. |
