Lakeside Village
Rules and Guidelines For Residents
The lake is for the exclusive use of Lakeside Village Association (LSVA) residents. Residents are asked to accompany guests during walking, fishing, ice-skating, partying and any other lake-centered activities.
Fishing is permitted, but all guests must be accompanied by a resident. Please practice "catch and release" to ensure the continued stock of fish. Also, the level of contamination in fish from run-off is unknown.
The boats on the docks are the personal property of the individual owners and are for their exclusive use.
Boats should be kept in the water and not on the shoreline approximately April 1 to November 1. In cold months, residents of Lakeside Forest must store their boats out of sight, and west side residents must store boats inconspicuously (garage or covered along the side of houses that does not face the lake).The docks are the property of Lakeside Village Association and are available to homeowners upon written request to the Association and a one-time payment of $50. Only two boats may be assigned to each dock.
Docks are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The LSVA board must be petitioned to construct a new dock (to match current docks), and docks cannot be sited closer than every other lakeside lot. The builder is exempted from the $S0 fee. The right to dock a boat is not transferable to other residents.Motorized boats and boats over 14 feet long are not permitted on the lake except for doing work to maintain the lake. Lakeside Forest Association owns the orange canoes, and they are only for the use of LSFA. There is a limit of two persons per canoe. Residents and their guests are permitted to use canoes or paddleboats at their own risk and must have personal flotation devices in the boat.
No swimming is allowed in the lake. Ice-skating is permitted at your own risk when the ice is a minimum of four inches thick.
Cats and dogs are welcome but they must be constrained at all times. Walkers must pick up their pet's droppings immediately. Owners must control noisy pets and are responsible for any damage by pets.
The towpath is intended for walking. The benches around the lake are intended for common use and for relaxing and enjoying our beautiful lake. No bicycles, motorcycles or skates please. If you see litter anywhere around the lake, please pick it up and discard it with your own trash.
Residents on the west side of the lake are responsible for maintaining and mowing the common area between the towpath and the lake. Removal of any trees or plantings in the common area must be approved by the LSVA board. When mowing, please aim the cut grass away from the lake to avoid building up organic matter in the lake. Do not discard any sticks, leaves or other organic matter in the lake.
Residents are encouraged to maintain their yards and their residence as described in the Warranty Deed (Volume 3464, Page 64, Articles 3-6 for west side residents) so that the properties are always an asset to the community. Any outside remodeling by west side residents must be approved by the LSVA board. Any outside remodeling by Lakeside Forest residents must be approved by the LS board.

For west side residents only, painting and staining must be in Earth tones (brown, tan, gray, green, and not white) and does not need prior approval by the LSVA board.)
