Attention Land Owners

Current Road Conditions as of 1/20/10

Our roads are very WET. Due to the large amount of snowfall followed by recent warm weather temperatures, it has brought the frost out of the ground making our roads EXTREMELY SOFT. At this time, we are unable to use any large equipment to repair and grade because machines would leave deep ruts. Please use caution on the roads at this time until they dry out. We recommend staying completely off of the grass roads. We will begin grading and repairs as soon as weather permits.

 HOPE FOR LOTS OF SUN AND WIND!!

January, 2010: Policy Statement on use of “unlicensed vehicles” on Forbes roads

The Board of Directors has determined that the above Articles specifically prohibit use of unlicensed vehicles and/or excessively noisy vehicles of any kind on our roads.  This includes, but is not limited to, all-terrain vehicles, 4-wheelers, 6-wheelers,  mules, trail-bikes, motorcycles, etc. as well as golf carts.  The Board respectfully requests your cooperation and compliance. Please contact the LOA office or any of the Directors if you have questions or concerns. Thank you.

FORECLOSURES!

Our attorney continues to work on over 60 lots owned by 20 land owners whose accounts are seriously delinquent.  These land owners have failed to pay their dues for several years.  We expect this process not only to be less costly, but also process much faster than our first foreclosures.  As soon as authorized by our attorney, we will be making the list public to our land owners and a sealed bid date will be set. The foreclosed lots from our first group were all sold successfully to existing land owners and were sold at prices that covered our legal costs and related expenses as well as the past due amounts on owner accounts! 

The process of foreclosing on lots has proven to be beneficial to all of our land owners for two (2) very important reasons:

1) No cost to the LOA because all expenses were recovered by the sale of the lots.

2) New land owners become ‘dues paying’ members of the association.

The Board of Directors intends to diligently pursue all past due accounts in their continued effort to fulfill their fiduciary responsibility to all land owners.

NOTICE:  2010 dues payments were due October 1st. If you have not yet paid,  please do so as soon as possible to avoid further late fees. Dues statements are mailed out at the end of August each year along with our semi-annual newsletter. The envelope is stamped "STATEMENT ENCLOSED". We also post notification on our website when statements are mailed. If you do not receive your statement by mid September, please contact our office. Please also remember to notify our office either by phone call or e-mail of address and phone number changes. 

SNOW REMOVAL AT FORBES

The LOA has historically used a 6" snowfall as a general rule to schedule snow removal. Although we have had snow lately, it has not yet totaled 6" and road have not yet been plowed. We have, however, spread salt in known trouble spots. Please remember that when the roads are plowed, the plow has to be set at 1" to 2" so that gravel is not removed from the roads. Please use caution!  UPDATE: FORBES ROADS HAS BEEN PLOWED   DATE: JANUARY 7, 2010.

NEW LAKE SAFETY LAW TAKES EFFECT JANUARY 1, 2010.
