Subject: Village meetings
Was that a good turn out of 40 people at the first village meeting ? Section 1 has 142 lots, Section 1a has 6 lots and section 8 310 lots, A total of 458 lots plus 33 lots owned by LHLLC was that a good turn out ? Not in my book as the old saying goes.How many of those 458 lots have houses and how many of those houses are full time residents that could even try to make a week night meeting? As a lot ower I would have made it to the Feb 15 meeting but had a death in the family and I see no other meetings I can go too that are not during the week.How many houses have full time residents and that are not renters?

Subject: New Documents
What would happen if one or more sections (villages) do not approve the revised governing documents? How much involvement does LHLLC has do with the changing the documents?
How much has LHLLC spent on helping to change the documents? I first I had not recieved any new documents, so I e-mail the office, To my surprise in af ew days I recieve my copy of the new documents not from Lake Hoilday but from Miller/ Smith(LHLLC) Who really wants the documents changed is it 97% of each section or is it really Miller/Smitth?

Subject: lot owners
We have here at Lake Holiday 1709 private lots at which there is only about 600 homes. Out of those 600 homes about 480 are full time residents and the rest are part time weekend and summer residents. That means the board does not care about those 1229 residents the do not live at Lake Holiday full time or just have a lot. All of the meetings but a few town hall meetings are during the week There has been no word about a village meetings on the weekend. The board says get involved when we complain, but how can we if all the meetings are during the week.

As a point of clarification, the lake holiday web site is maintained by volunteers, not paid webmasters. There are 3 of us. Sometimes it takes a couple of hours just fiddling with scanning in a paid business ad just to get the image so that it will display well enough. There are always a lot of changes to be posted as documents get updated, news notifications, etc. I am one of the volunteers and have often spent an entire morning or afternoon with what a reader might consider to be minor updates. Actually the results of the recent survey about the web site showed a high percentage of positives and satisfaction with the information, quality of presentation, and currency. In case no one has noticed, the printed newsletter has also taken on a completely new look. If you are interested in helping with either, volunteer. ...

Subject: Clubhouse
I seem to recall a 5-year plan around 2000 for the clubhouse which put on a new roof and siding. It was apparently dropped for some grand plan which would completely renovate the building. Now that's too expensive so there's talk of tearing it down and starting over. Why is it always one step forward and two steps back with this building? Why can't we just put in the basics and get it open?

Subject: damage to road
Why is management permiting buldoziers to drive on our already deterated roads? Who is watching the store?

Subject: Developer Signs
It doesn't seem at all fair that the developer can advertise and a homeowner cannot. Do these advertisements mean that anyone who wants to purchase here will be let through the gate with a developers map of available lots unescorted? It sounds like we are giving away far to much, just to have the luxury of being another overcrowded community.

Subject: Lake nonholiday
My Family and moved here from a lake community in Maryland 6 months ago. The main reason was because this lake can use gas motor boats. What a mistake!!!! The fees are outragous and we cant trust the water supply. On top of that, you have to pay water bills on a lot that is not build yet, robbery!! This place has so much potential, but needs to be governed better. We are out of here

Sounds like someone don't want to pay for someone elses roads.

Subject: boat privileges
Boat permits should be grandfathered to specific lots, not owners. Try to sell a lakeside lot with a inplace dock which is denied boat privileges while other boats are gleefully zipping around the lake.

Subject: Chip Seal
The complaints about the road chip seal are unfounded. If it weren't for the chip seal our roads would be much worse off, especially after one of the coldest winters in a long time. Also let's not be so negative and I think that the winter road repair this year has been much better, faster and thurough than last year. There are noted improvements going on here in The Summit. I for one think we are at least headed in the right direction. We can't have it all immediately and kudos need to go out when deserved.

Subject: Chip Seal Road Treatment
I see the money was well spent for the chip seal. Our roads are worse this spring than in the past. Keep praising projects like this and I'm sure we'll see other ways our money can be wasted.   Tim Spittler
A lot has to do with the construction traffic and the quality of the original paving but you're right. It didn't work in some areas...Ed.

Subject: stickers and lots
Well, I guess someone reads your forum area...I noticed today that the office will be open this Saturday 9-12.  Guess I'll gather my stuff up and try to get stickers again.   But, do you know what happened to the money "we" got for all of the lots sold to those wonderful and charitable developers?  I thought the Summit (whatever the correct name of the various mish-mash of corporations is) sold 400 (500, 600, 700...whatever) lots to a developer (land speculator)...what happened toh the money?   thanks
LHCC didn't own those lots, they belonged to a trust that was purchased by the developer. The Feb 2004 Summit News has details...Ed.

Subject: car stickers
Well, I finally gathered up most of the vehicle registrations to get new stickers (they’re all the same cars as last year, but I guess we can’t be trusted to tell the truth).  Went to the office to get new stickers and to my surprise, they’re closed.  Yes, it’s Saturday.  I guess the office thinks it’s more convenient for the residents to be closed on Saturdays and open only Monday – Friday.  I wonder how they think we can afford to pay the increased fees and special assessments without working ironically, the same hours they are open.  I guess being convenient for the employees is more important than being convenient for the residents.

I guess they’ll just stop me at the gate every day once the current stickers “expire”.   Oh well, they bought the gate passes with our “special assessment” money and now they want to sell them to us for $25 each…what happened to $17?  That was bad enough since we already paid for them the first time.

Subject: Your web site
Pretty well constructed.  Too bad this energy isn't put to use on the Summit Newsletter.  Perhaps the environment has changed enough to consider?  The web site may need a new site admin as well.

Thank You. An independent site assures us free press. We will assess the progress of the Summit Newsletter and website under new direction and perhaps participate at a later date. - Ed.

Subject: note $200 assessment for roads.
The site looks great!  I think it is time to address some money issues. It is unreasonable to have a $200. assessment for the roads.  It's time to sell some of the lots that this community owns.  What are they waiting for?   To much $ being spent on management and the rest.

Thanks. In hindsight the $200. assessment probably could have been mitigated by frugal spending. Lots are a finite asset and once sold are gone forever. If sold they should be sold over time so as to diversify value. Unfortunately, the assessment may be the best option. -Ed.
