Labor Day weekend can be one of the last busy times for the lake lot. Hopefully, you have had some great memories down there during the summer of 2017. Be sure to make a few more when the weather is great.
The HOA needs to post some signs at the lake stating no fireworks.There is 3 to 4 ft of dried leaves and debris and downed trees on the hillside where hoa property borders my property.I have talked to a fireman and he has stated that no fireworks should be done down there.In the past I have had firework debris land on my driveway that came from beach area.luckily it was wet out.He also said there should not be bonfires on the beach because of embers, especially on a windy day.Because some people lack common sense there should be a end to these activities.I don't want to be the bad guy here but if anyone is doing fireworks down there and burning a bonfire I am going to put a stop to it and I will call the sheriff's department.I expect the HOA to back me up on this because this is something that concerns everyone in northlakes.If a fire were to start it would take out the whole development and grace chapel rd and that's coming from a fireman.
Thanks for sharing your concerns. Fires should only be on private property and fires should not be on HOA common grounds. Most of the time people follow these rules, while a few times people need a reminder. Thanks in helping keep our neighborhood safe. We will explore the costs of adding no fireworks signs to the HOA common areas.
Hey neighbors! A few updates: We are planning a work day for May 20. If you've got some time to spare (or have kids who need service hours) this is a great opportunity to improve our neighborhood. We'll be working on the Suttlemyre playground lot in the morning. Our annual meeting is scheduled for June 10 at 10:30 am at the lake lot! We hope to see you there. Lots of plans in the works! If you're staying for the party, bring your own drinks and a dish to share! HOA memberships are due by June 10. If you're a current member, your access card will expire June 11. You do not need a new card if you're renewing. Annual memberships are $100 & extra/replacement keys are $20. There are several ways to pay.

One of the best amenities of living in the Northlakes community is our lake lot. However, before getting to the lake lot there has always been a gate with many pros and cons. A couple pros are that the gate kept the lake lot secure and safe for our HOA members, while heavy, hard to unlock, and inconvenient are just three cons that almost out weigh the pros. Not anymore! The Northlakes Board is excited to announce that a new electronic, automatic gate has been ordered and it will be installed for the 2019 summer. Stay tuned for more details. Our goal is to have this project completed by the June 1st kickoff party. Finally, this project is a very important investment, which was about $5000, for our community. We greatly appreciate each of who have renewed your $75 HOA membership and we welcome all new memberships. This will certainly be a big help in covering the cost, as will any donation you would like to send.
On June 5th, the annual HOA meeting will start at 10:30 am and then the beach hangout will follow till the late afternoon. Hotdogs, soda, water, snacks will be provided by Northlakes HOA. Feel free to contribute a covered dish. $100 HOA dues can be paid at or before the event.
