FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2022 5 By Kathy Craven, Board Vice President And the survey says… Thank you to all who participated in the 2022 Community Planning Survey. We received many great comments and ideas. It is fantastic so many of you took the time to be involved in planning for the future of our community. Sixty percent of the replies came from people who have lived in Four Seasons for more than five years, and the largest age group was 70 to 75. We are fortunate to have so many forward-thinking people who live here! You may be asking what happens with the comments and ideas once we receive them? To answer that question, let's take a little trip back in time (cue blurred and squiggly lines to denote going back in time, as in movies). Community Planning conducted a survey in 2017 and received a great response. There were more than 500 people who replied with their ideas. From that survey, we prioritized and completed several of the most-requested items. We expanded the Amphitheater to add 100 more seats so that more than 400 people can enjoy our Amphitheater Concert Series. The Canine Corral is now up and running with many dogs and residents loving the space. The shade over The Courts pergola by the pool now provides a place to get out of the sun. And finally, the putting green was expanded to provide nine holes rather than the five holes built by the developer. Remember, all of those items came as requests from the 2017 survey. Fast forward to the present, we had 435 responses out of 3,082 residents for the 2022 survey. We received so many fantastic ideas that we will do the same thing as in 2017. We will prioritize and begin the steps to bring the projects to fruition. As we sort and categorize the ideas, there are several that have already been completed (great minds think alike!). One suggestion was to add handrails to the Amphitheater for safety, and this was completed in February of this year. Another suggestion was to allow street closures for outdoor events. This is already available for block parties and is a simple process with only a few requirements. We have had several requests. Enjoy! We are looking for ways to keep everyone updated on the survey items and what is being worked on as we go forward. Again, thank each of you for your responses. The Board of Directors meets the second Thursday of each month at 1 pm in the Ballroom. If you prefer a more intimate meeting with dialog between you and Board members, then Meet the Board is for you. Meet the Board is the third Wednesday of each month at 1 pm in the RCN Main Room. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. ~ Kathy Craven, kcravenbod@yahoo.com, (714) 722-1301 Message From The Board
