Project Summary
The CYC is developing a 10-year capital plan. That plan will,
- Set forth the next ten years of capital projects, including both repair & maintenance and development projects,
- Project aggregate costs, and
- Include a financing plan to cover those costs.
The goal is to produce a 10-year capital deployment roadmap that is member supported, sustainable, capital efficient, affordable, transparent and funded.
Site Plan
The first step in developing the 10-year capital plan is to create a shared vision of our priorities, and how best to optimize our campus around that shared vision. Core to this vision is improving the member experience by developing a safer, more pedestrian-friendly campus that expands our amenities and thoughtfully rearranges our footprint in a more seamless synthesis of uses and activities. Our club provides an array of amenities and activities, including food and beverage, pool, tennis and a host of waterfront activities and services, all supported by an aging infrastructure and footprint that is inefficiently laid out and increasingly constrained. Importantly, the recent purchases of the 14 and 17 Corinthian Lane parcels enlarge our footprint, which creates new optionality.
After a lengthy process, we retained Klopfer Martin Design Group to help us develop a campus site plan, which when complete, will reflect our shared vision. This site plan will seek to reimagine the club’s recently expanded footprint, blending our many operational needs and constraints with the interests of varied activities and stakeholders. The goal of the site plan is to create a cohesive blueprint to serve as the vision to inform spending decisions, both in the current 10-year capital plan, as well as subsequent 10-year plans.
10 Year Capital Plan
The 10-year capital plan will involve assembling the long list of projects, including repair & maintenance projects, campus development projects and clubhouse projects, and determining which of them can and should be done over the next ten years. There are multiple components.
- Plan sustainability is of utmost importance. We will review our governance to ensure that the plan remains the club’s core capital deployment framework, while also providing leadership flexibility to adjust as circumstances warrant.
- Layout the necessary repair & maintenance projects that must be completed over the next ten years, determine the sequence of those projects, target the year each should occur, and estimate their costs.
- Inventory the long list of campus and clubhouse projects, determine a logical sequence of undertaking those projects, and estimate their costs. KMDG is expected to help us in thinking through a logical sequencing.
- Evaluate and propose a financing model that addresses needs of the club’s 10-year plan and ensure funding over that time period. A key goal of this plan is affordability. Spreading the cost over a 10-year period will smooth out payments.
- Compare the aggregate costs of those mandatory R&M projects with the spending limit suggested by our modeling, which will determine remaining available spending capacity for development projects over 10-years. We fully expect achievement of the vision reflected in the site plan to involve several ten-year planning cycles.
Timeline
2025
March-April Design firm begins site plan initiative, starting with survey, fact finding and member engagement.
April – May Stakeholder engagement. Hold town hall style listening sessions, refine goals of plan and begin developing conceptual design options.
May – June Iterate on conceptual design options, refine them into 2-3 possible layouts. Solicit member input through additional listening sessions, led by the design firm.
July – Aug Complete site plan and disseminate it to membership through multiple channels, including potentially a 3-D model displayed at the club.
Sept – Oct Finalize site plan and present to membership.
Oct – Dec Develop and iterate 10-year capital plan, which will include repair & maintenance projects and development projects reflecting the first steps towards achieving the site plan.
2026
Jan – March Share 10-year capital plan with membership through multiple channels. Provide update at AGM.
April – May Membership meeting to vote to approve the 10-year capital plan and associated financing plan, as well as any bylaw changes required to ensure the plan’s sustainability.
