Board Minutes

From the Boardroom

Kathleen Heydon, Board President

Lakewood is a beautiful, energetic, vibrant neighborhood.

This community would not be what it is today without all the volunteers that devote their time - their most valuable asset.

After reviewing all the ARB/ARC requests, I realized that we will become even more stunning. Residents are building, redoing, painting, planting and putting time and money into their homes, a positive for all residents. Thank you, ARB/ARC, for your commitment of time to review all the requests.

Thank you to the Activities Committee for their enthusiasm towards making Lakewood a fun, exciting community. While they had to make some tough decisions, they did it with grace and class. Wonderful Concert on the Rock for our residents.

I’m sure many of you were excited to see the pleasure docks and new boat slips arrive after an unavoidable delay. It’s exciting to see “J Dock” fill with boats of residents that have waited for years for their chance to enjoy the lake by boat.

As we travel through 2020, we need to realize that with every difficult situation, there are opportunities for us to find the good in the bad.

Tough times don’t last, tough people do!

Keep smiling.

Amendment to LPOA Rules and Regulations

with your Parcel Committee.

In accordance with LPOA By-laws, notice is hereby given to LPOA membership of Amendment to ARB/ARC Guidelines, Section VI, Roofs/Roofing Materials. The following language was accepted at the 08/013/2020 Board of Directors meeting. Amended language is underlined. You can view the Amendment by visiting www.lpoa.com/Governing Documents, Amendments.

LPOA CURFEW

Just a reminder, LPOA Rules and Regulations, Article IV, Section 4.0450 states that:

“No minors allowed on LPOA common ground or lakes after 12 midnight on weekend and 10:00 p.m. on week nights, unless supervised by a responsible adult over twenty-one (21) years of age.”

Concrete Projects It’s time to replace your driveway or patio. You’ve received ARB/ARC approval and the contractor just finished pouring several yards of cement. The concrete truck driver pulls along the curb and begins to wash the concrete from his chute – right into the storm drain – and likely right into our lake! This is the part where you stop him and say, “Thanks for the cement. Now please go wash out elsewhere.”

While most ready mix drivers are responsible, these things do occasionally happen, and it’s important that we’re all educated. To prevent an illegal discharge, and a violation of Lee’ Summit Ordinance, the following guidelines should be observed.

• Washout water should not leave the washout location. • Runoff from a rainstorm or rapid snowmelt will not carry wastes away from the washout location. • Washout will not impact future land uses (parks, open spaces, etc.) • Permission to washout has been granted by the property owner. • The location is accessible to the vehicle. The next time you or a neighbor has a project that requires ready mix, please remind the driver to find a suitable site to clean out.
