Latest info on new pickleball courts (1/31/20)
The final permit for construction still has not been approved yet. There are some City stipulations that are being worked on. The City of El Mirage Development Application process, like other cities, can be complicated. Especially when the plan contemplates several issues, (ie. roads, mobile home spaces, manufactured and/or site-built homes, outdoor recreation facilities including additional pickleball courts, etc.) Before you can submit an application for construction (permit), the prospective application must initially be reviewed by the El Mirage Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to ensure Building, Engineering, Zoning and Land Use compliance. The initial Roberts Resort plan was submitted to the City of El Mirage. A revision to the initial plan was proposed, so the plan must again be reviewed by (TAC). That process is on-going. Once all (TAC) members have approved the revision, the plan can then be submitted to the City for building permit. As long as the City doesn’t create insurmountable stumbling blocks, we are hopeful that the permit process will be completed in the next few weeks and Management will still have time to construct the pickleball courts before February. More information to follow...... |

We were informed by our Park Manager Vickie this evening that “I (Vickie) have been given a for sure that Pickleball Courts are going in this summer”. Two Quads have been proposed, but no final decision has been made as to the number of courts being added. We are also awaiting word as to how our Club will/can be involved in this process.
A note of thanks to Vickie for her help and assistance in getting the additional courts for our club!
Also, thanks to Doug, Judy and all of you for your support over the last number of years in making these additional courts a reality!!
We will keep you informed as additional information/details become available.
Again, thanks to all of you!!
Randy Bode, President

Park Badge policy
Our Manager, Vickie Jepperson has asked us to clarify the park policy on permanent and temporary guest badges. They have had some complaints from residents that have a Roberts Resorts guest badge. These residents have indicated that they may have been treated differently at the pickleball courts. All residents staying inside the park are given a permanent or temporary name badge. If there is a Roberts Resorts logo on their badge, they are residents. Park policy is to give residents that are here less than 30 days a plastic guest badge. If a resident is here longer than 30 days, they will eventually get a permanent badge.
For us pickleballers, please be ambassadors and treat all residents with any Roberts Resort badge the same. Our dues dots can be placed on any of the Roberts Resort badges that they may be wearing.
