A Word from the President

Dear Neighbors,

This is the first letter to you from your new president. Many thanks to immediate past President Elizabeth Boggess and the previous board for their dedicated services over the last two years. The new board is a healthy blend of new members and a few carrying over.

The quality of this neighborhood depends on far more than a board of ten. Rather, it depends on tens of neighbors doing some part of the variety of services the neighborhood needs. There are plenty of opportunities to help your neighbor whether through parks, socials, “tech” talents, etc.

The Board of Health has addressed two properties with community health concerns thanks to our boards’ pursuit with neighbors getting the government to respond.

TLPOA had a good annual meeting in May with good attendance and participation. Items of interest will be noted further into the newsletter. Thanks to all of you who have paid the annual dues, so far. Understand that our dues are vastly less compared to similar associations.

We have new deed restrictions needing your approval. There are two key changes to protect ourselves a) disallow usage of a property, including common areas, to access other property outside our subdivision and b) revised architectural rules. It is notable to mention that a new owner has recently acquired several hundred acres of underwater property adjacent to our subdivision. The architectural rule changes are not big changes but they are modified to accommodate or be consistent with the rapidly upcoming new FEMA flood plain restrictions. If you haven’t signed the deed restrictions yet please understand the key points above and proceed to read and sign.

July 4th holiday was a real ‘hoot’ with so much amicable usage of the park. Some have observed that it was the most camping usage in 20 years.

Please notify the board if you would like to receive future newsletters electronically rather than by paper – it would save TLPOA some expense.

We do have a legal proceeding now in progress. Bill and Melanie Cox filed suit against the TLPOA association regarding upkeep of the common area more known as the ‘little park’. The board has obtained legal counsel and will keep the community apprised from time to time on this matter.

Yours truly,

Patrick Johnston
President, TLPOA
