Darcie and Jessica,
The Amenities and Lifestyle Subcommittee would like to request that you speak with the Board regarding a couple of safety concerns related to extremely hot metal surfaces at the clubhouse and residential pool, particularly during the summer months.
Now that the Clubhouse is open, it has become very apparent that the sun beating down on the front door and side door handles (closest to the theater) causes them to become extremely hot. This creates the potential for burns, especially for residents with neuropathy, thinning or frail skin, and other sensitivities.
The cost for a protective solution appears to be very minimal, and we have found an example product and accompanying photo at the following website.
Picture here:
Additionally, while visiting the pool area, I noticed the same issue with the metal bars leading into the pool and hot tub. Again, the cost for protective coverings appears to be minimal and would add an important level of safety, not only by reducing heat exposure, but also by improving grip for residents entering and exiting the water which is important for a 55+ plus community.
We also found an example product and photo for this application here.
Picture here:
Could you please reach out to the Board and request consideration for purchasing and installing these items? We would greatly appreciate hearing back regarding the Board’s decision once it has been discussed.
If we do not hear back within 30 days, we will follow up again for an update.
Thank you for your attention to this important safety matter,
Amenities and Lifestyle Subcommittee
