Building:
If a building applicant goes to the county building authority with a request for a building permit, the county is not required to enforce LDPOA deed restrictions. They must issue the permit if all municipal conditions are met. However, they will advise the applicant to contact their local association prior to construction. They are including with the application/permit the following statement: “This permit has been reviewed and issued for compliance with State, County, or local jurisdiction laws, codes, rules and standards. If your property is within an area bound be (by) recorded deed restrictions, be aware that failure to comply with deeded restrictions may subject you to private legal action. “Contact your local association or Development Authority prior to construction””
Larry and Barb Meyers have made application and received approval for construction of a house and attached garage at 14727 West Diane Drive.

From the 88 property owners whom received letters regarding the dredging, 14 have yet to respond. Scott intends to follow up with a second round of letters. He also plans to speak with property owners personally to answer any questions they may have. Terry Rupp has volunteered to assist Scott.
Parks:
The construction at the shelter house is nearly complete, and it looks great! Thank you to the worker bee’s for all your effort. It truly is appreciated. The project came in under budget, so the light fixtures will be replaced from the outdated fluorescent to LED.
