****WARNING TO ALL RESIDENTS****
Please remember the lake rules state that children under the age of 6 must be accompanied by an adult around the lake.
We also have warned a few children about swimming in the lake. It is also a lake rule & most importantly - it is not safe to swim in the lake, please talk your children about this matter.
It is a restriction...we must keep our property maintained!!! Also, trash in our lake is becoming a problem. Please remind your children about littering in and around the lake.
The restrictions state: Boats, vehicles, campers or trailers of any kind or parts, or appurtenances or any boats, vehicles, campers or trailers shall not be kept or stored or repaired on any lot except in the rear of the residence and shall not be visible from any street or the lake. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such equipment shall not be kept or maintained on any lot in a manner which would detract from the appearance of the subdivision.
No junk cars, buses or similar vehicles will be permitted to be parked in the street or on the property.
Each individual lot owner shall be responsible for the maintenance of all landscaping or his lot and for maintaining his lot(s), residence and driveway in a clean and orderly fashion at all times, and the owner shall be responsible for paying all costs of said maintenance and for any such repairs which may be necessary. Lot owners shall keep their lot(s) mowed at all times and free from rubbish, trash, debris and noxious weeds, in default of which the Architectural Control Committee may cause such work to be performed and may demand and sue for reimbursement for such costs and reasonable attorney fees.
***ATTENTION PET OWNERS***
It has been observed by many of our residents and has been brought to our attention that there are several roaming pets that have become a nuisance problem. These complaints are concerning cats and dogs roaming in our residents yards, destroying flower beds, and relieving themselves. This behavior by your pets will not be tolerated. Please be courteous of your neighbors and help keep our neighborhood clean and problem free! We appreciate your immediate cooperation with this matter. The Pet Owner Rules are listed in the Restrictions under 'Livestock & Poultry' on page 3. Thank You.
PROJECTS IN THE WORKS
The board is always open to homeowner suggestions for subdivision improvements. If you would like to suggest an improvement, or even a maintenance upkeep suggestion, please contact a board member.
The aeration of the lake by the fountain has been a success, not only in removing algae, but in the improvement of waterlife.
The information board at the front entrance has been painted.
Jason Davis has been working with Mo-Dad about the property in the back cul-de-sac on Rue De Lac. The culvert is completed! The next thing is to get the sidewalk completed.
We are also working on ideas for landscaping and filling in holes around the cul de sacs. If anyone would like to volunteer time or ideas, please let a board member know!
Some residents may also have noticed that our street lights should all be working properly now. Some of the lights haven't worked since hurricane Katrina.
All of the street lights, stop signs, and fire hydrants have a fresh coat of beautiful paint. Thanks to Mr. Rice Sutton, who also paints mailboxes and door refinishings.
We have had several requests from residents wanting an updated copy of the neighborhood directory. The Board is currently considering these requests. If you would be interesting in chairing the committee to update the Homeowner's Directory, please contact a board member.
The speed limit in our subdivision is 25 MPH. Please watch your speed...we have had complaints. We do have a lot of young children in our neighborhood. Let's be very careful. I also want to add that we have had complaints about speeding 4-wheelers & dirt bikes. Let's please slow down. We would like to ask that everyone help slow down this traffic. We do not want anyone to be forced to contact the authorities due to this problem. If this problem persists, it will unfortunately jeopardize the use of these vehicles in the neighborhood for all of our residents.
As per the lot owner vote collected on November 5, 2008, 3-way stop signs have been posted at the intersection of Rue de Fluer and Rue de Vior. These stop signs have really helped to slow incoming and outgoing traffic down Rue de Fluer. Thank you all for accepting this minor inconvenience for the safety of our children.
