## What do you think? Question:

![hoa projects](https://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/file-13172807-jpg/images/hoa_projects-resized-600.jpg?width=214&height=243&name=hoa_projects-resized-600.jpg)Our [HOA](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) Board wants to build a new building attached to our open area cabana. The capital cost will be around $150K. This is new construction. Many in the HOA community are against it in the poor economic environment because it will require an [assessment](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/bid/9229/Condo-Association-or-HOA-Collection-Policies-for-Fees-and-Assessments.aspx) to build this. The HOA board (3 persons) are stating that they do not need member approval to do this. The room will be 30' x 24' which seems small to me for a community of 160 homes. They claim maximum occupancy is 70 persons which seems high. They want to install a kitchenette and a granite bar area which will use up some of the room. Can we stop this needless spending when more than 50% of the [condo community](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) do not want this area. Many are seasonal people and would not use it.
