Clubhouse Renovation 10/30/24 Update

Bathroom and Gym: The Board has authorized the architect to complete a full set of working drawings that will be complete enough to file for permits from the City of White Plains. We will use these drawings to gather detailed estimates from reputable contractors in the area and then present the community with cost estimates and options to vote on. Drawings and estimates are projected to take several months to complete.
Card Room: The Board would like to explore options to turn the underused library room in the Clubhouse into a functioning card room. There are at least 6 times during the month when people use the clubhouse for that type of recreation. The Board has formed a committee, led by Ellen Walker and joined by Sara Feinstein and Joan Marks to explore the possibilities and develop a working budget. If anyone has experience in this area or can lend some ideas, please reach out to them.
Increased Assessment to Cobblefield Reserve Fund for New Buyers Who Close after 12/31/24
Posted on Oct 15th, 2024 Comments (0)
At the September, 2024 board meeting, the board voted to charge an assessment of $7,500 to all home buyers who close after December 31,2024. This assessment will also apply if a home is sold privately or a title is transferred within a family. In all cases, the new owner is responsible for paying the $7,500 to the reserve fund through our managing agent at closing. All real estate agents are familiar with this type of buyer contribution in Westchester communities.
The board feels that since the new owners will derive the benefits of the future projects these funds will deliver, this is the best approach to raise additional capital.
