Rental Operations Tour of Homes
Scheduled for May 4, 2008
Sunday, May 4 is the date of
this year's Tour of
Homes. Mark your
calendar!
This is a great way to personally view the
quality of the homes, condominiums and cabins available
for guests on the Ranch. Staff and even
Owners of these properties will be available to answer
questions during your self-tour. We can have the
Group Sales Coordinator or an Agent get back to you if
you need extras space for your personal guests this
summer.
The
Ranch is proud of the quality of properties in the
program.
One of our rental Owners recently encountered
other Owners on the Ranch relaying misinformation on the
Ranch rentals and promptly invited them to tour his
home. If
you haven't been in one of our homes in a few years, you
are invited to get first-hand knowledge and help spread
the word.
You are our biggest sales
representative!
The
Tour runs 1:00pm to 3:00pm. Current
properties scheduled for the tour include:
Black Butte 14
Country House 44
East Meadow
17
Golf Home 234
Lodge Condo 22, 23, 24
South Meadow 182
A
map and final list of properties will be available at
the Lodge Front Desk and Post Office the week prior to
the Tour.

Welcome Center Moves Forward
March 21, 2008
Dear Black Butte Ranch Property
Owner,
In our recent March 15th
meeting, the BBR Association Board of Directors voted
unanimously to proceed with Welcome Center construction
by authorizing the Facilities Implementation Task Force
(FITF) to enter into a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
contract with our general contractor. The purpose of
this letter is to provide additional background and
information related to this
decision.
For several years, management, staff, and
a succession of owner task forces and boards of
directors have agreed there is a compelling need to
improve our access and registration at Black Butte
Ranch. Our
current approach, with staff divided between the Lodge
and access building, is operationally inefficient and
detrimental to our goal of improving customer service.
The
existing access facility is literally falling apart and
does not, by any standards, reflect the quality
experience defined by our Mission Statement. With their
approval of the MIP projects in 2005, property owners
voted to address this situation through construction of
a new facility.
The Welcome Center design has been more
thoroughly considered than any other new construction in
the history of the Ranch. The proposed
solution is the result of significant homeowner input,
multiple traffic studies and other professional
analyses, and hundreds of hours of task force
consideration. The building has
been downsized to minimize costs while still providing a
first-class entry experience. Dozens of
potential locations were considered in terms of this
experience, impact on traffic, operational efficiency
and flow of visitors throughout the Ranch.
In particular, the Lodge was closely
evaluated as a potential alternative for access and
registration.
Unfortunately, this facility does not meet many
of the requirements necessary for this function. One of the
largest challenges relates to the Lodge's inability to
accommodate high volumes of visitors. During peak
summer weekends, the Ranch receives over 400 cars and
trucks each day that require access and
registration.
This volume would easily overwhelm the Lodge
facility, creating difficult traffic, parking and
customer service problems. The Board
recognizes the value in attracting visitors to the Lodge
area, but believes there are other more practical
options for accomplishing this
goal.
With property owners' approval of the dues
increase, there is sufficient short- and long-term
funding to begin construction immediately, with the
objective of project completion in early 2009. This timeline
assures continuity of architect, general contractor,
project manager and the FITF, and best leverages the
$200,000 already expended to get to this point. Fortunately, we
are experiencing one of the most favorable construction
environments in recent years. While we continue
to look for potential additional cost savings, the
current GMP proposal provides a forecasted project
completion at $116,000 below budget. We are very
optimistic the completed Welcome Center will make
property owners proud by greatly improving the entry
experience at Black Butte
Ranch.
Thank you.
