MESSAGE FROM LSPOA CHAIR - BUCK MILLION
A new year has begun for the Lake Suzy Property Owners Association (LSPOA) and, based on our first Board of Directors meeting, I am looking forward to an active and progressive year! Three new members join the Board and their knowledge, skills and enthusiasm are contagious! Dee Hannon is a local realtor who brings a wealth of community information. She and her husband have lived in Lake Suzy Estates for many years and her understanding of real estate and the Greater Charlotte and DeSoto County areas represent a great asset to the Board. Clancy Rimmy is another newcomer with great promise. In my talks with him he has proven to be quick in grasping the governance complexities of a deed restricted community. His success in business and as an engineer will contribute to the quality of Board discussions. Judy Thompson serves as Chair of the Architectural Review Committee and, as such, a member of the Board. Judy brings many talents to Board service, but her methodical approach to problems and, especially, her boundless energy are among her strongest talents. Judy brings a rich understanding of this community and those who live here.
The three newcomers join three more experienced Board members with years of service to the community. Bob LaFlam, Debbi Oleinik and Don Drinkwater are excellent directors who understand that they serve not only LSPOA, but all property owners in Lake Suzy Estates. They know that they have fiduciary responsibilities under Florida law to all who call this place home. Each of them works tirelessly without pay so that their neighbors can enjoy life in this beautiful lakeside community.
If you are visiting this website in contemplation of making this magical place your home, I strongly recommend it. There are few places in the world as unique as this lakefront, semi-rural setting where exotic water birds and other “wild” creatures flourish. And, yet, our homes are only a short drive from excellent shopping and other suburban conveniences. For those who already call this community home, I ask that you join the property owner’s association. It is we who shoulder the burdens of mowing your common areas, planting and maintaining trees and shrubs, representing your interests before DeSoto County government and many other important duties. Please join the LSPOA or, at the very least, make a generous contribution to help defray the costs of these tasks. It should not be necessary for your neighbors to pay both their share and yours. Please do the “right thing” and join, contribute or volunteer your time.
What a wonderful place is Lake Suzy Estates! We are working to make it even better. Please be a part of this effort.
Best wishes, Buck Buck Million, Chair LSPOA Board of Directors
SIDEWALKS AND ELECTRIC AT CMP COMING TO LAKE SUZY ESTATES
As promised at the LSPOA Annual Meeting by County Engineer Bart Arrington, construction of the Lake Suzy Estates Sidewalk Project began on schedule the week of May 10th. The project is scheduled for completion by September 9,2010.
We are appreciative of the excellent work done by the Florida DOT, the DeSoto County Board of Commissioners, and County Engineer Arrington that has brought this project to our neighborhood. The new sidewalks will enhance the community's appearance, increase property values, and protect walkers, riders and joggers.
This project consists of constructing sidewalks on the south side of Courtly Manor, east side of Kings Row, north side of Ben Drive, west side of Sheri Avenue and ending at Doug Drive. Hours of construction will be approximately 7:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday - Friday. DeSoto County reminds everyone to observe all construction signs and be cautious when traveling the area.
As a result of joint effort between DeSoto County and LSPOA electric has been installed at Courtly Manor Park (CMP). This enhancement will allow us to light up our Christmas Tree during the season as well as provide for live entertainment for future events.
LSPOA will control usage and access to the boxes and will soon set policy regarding who may use the power and at what cost.
UPDATED LAKE SUZY DIRECTORY IN DEVELOPMENT
Soon, a newly revised and updated Lake Suzy Estates Directory will be completed and available free of charge to all LSPOA members. This valuable and handy directory is an indispensible resource for our community. This project takes tens of hours from start to completion and is done as a "labor of love for our community" by Joanna Drinkwater.
