A NEW ERA: COVENANTS AND COMMUNITY RECONCILIATION

Most persons living in this beautiful community know that we have been through a difficult period involving litigation and hurt feelings. In some respects our community's experience was similar to a family going through a difficult divorce.

We survived the initial trauma and it is time for us to reconnect as good neighbors, grasping hands in friendship and moving forward. Just as family members cannot remain angry forever, residents must reach out to their neighbors. Keep in mind that there are those new to Lake Suzy Estates who know nothing of these past events and we should show them the goodness we once knew asw a caring community. In truth, many communities across the nation have experienced much more challenging times. Our "event" was not so bad in comparision to many of those-some of which festered for years. We pray that a willingness to put the interests of our community ahead of personal issues will separate us from communities still lingering  in hurt.

More than fifty members of your Association met at Kingsway Country Club on October 21st for a specially called meeting to discuss the current status of our community covenants. The atmosphere wass friendly and upbeat. After hearing from the Board, members asked thoughtful questions and offered a number of suggestions aimed at insuring understanding and enforcement of our covenants.vThe rancor experienced in some past gatherings was replaced by a spirit of cooperation and commitment to a friendly and caring community.

LSPOA President Buck Million recognized the outstanding contributions of several members including Tony Littell who mowed and pruned on Kings Row and Courtly Manor. This action illustrates the kind of commitment to community we all admire.  

Buck also recconized the tireless work of the LSPOA Board of Directors as it has struggled over the past eighteen months to clarify the legal standing of our deed restrictions and, at the same time, promote cooperation among all who own property here. The culmination of the Board's efforts was adoption of two binding corporate  resolutions and a return to the 2003 Amended Deed Restrictions. In a letter to all LSE property owners Buck wrote, "To best understand where we are today, it is necessary to review how we came to these circumstances."

For a complete and factual explanation please refer to your most recent copy of the Lake Suzy Estates News.

Buck requested that property owners review the 2003 Amended Deed Restrictions and related Board resolutions mailed to all lot owners. Please refer to the HOME Page and the tabs across the top.

  • Guests may fish alone while a houseguest of the property owner, but only while a houseguest of the property owner.
