Possible Solution - Gatehouse: While some may believe that the gatehouse's current understated design presents a quaint first impression, security concerns, and the building's obsolete infrastructure dictate the main reason to demolish the existing building and replace it with a new structure. A. Approximately 300,000 visits are recorded at the main gatehouse annually, consisting of members, guests, service providers, vendors, and staff. During these encounters, individuals denied entry by the security staff must currently enter the property to turn around, meaning we don’t truly have a gated community. B.

For a list of estimated costs, see FAQs for details. D.

The existing road entrance area would be modified to alleviate the problem of contractor/visitor vehicles blocking the Member entrance lane during busy periods. F.
