Fall Update

Welcome to Fall! 

Your HOA Board has been working in the background to address the issues brought to us during the 2020 Annual Meeting - among others - and wanted to update you all on progress. If you have questions about a subject listed below (or any subject) please remember to reach out to us via the website @ www.twelve-lakes.com

  1. Concerns about Speeding in the Neighborhood

    • In addition to added patrols by the Sylvania Twp PD, we have also had a mobile radar on the eastern part of the neighborhood on Blue Mirage. It will be moved to Anchor Hills in the coming weeks. Hopefully these reminders help people to be more aware of their speed through these residential areas.  

  2. Pergola at Entrance #1

    • While COVID has slowed the production of the pergola due to lack of materials - we now have the pergola in production. We are hopeful that our contractor will be making some progress in the next couple weeks. 

  3. Lakes and Algae this summer

    • No getting around it - this year was tough for algae. We heard from many of you with concerns about the algae in almost every lake. The reality of this year was that hot conditions + low lake levels + low rainfall = really terrible algae growth issues. AquaDoc treated to the best of their ability, and the lakes should now be much better. The cool-off has happened and we've finally had some decent rain. If you are continuing to experience issues, please reach out and let us know. 

    • Bluewater Fountain: We are, again, experiencing function issues with the Bluewater Fountain. It may be time to pull the plug on this one and pony up for a better model. AquaDoc will be in tomorrow to take a good look, again. 

  4. Mailboxes 

    • Please take a moment to consider the condition of your mailbox the next time you are grabbing mail. There are a number of mailboxes in need of some attention in the neighborhood. 

  5. Stray Cats 

    • We have received complaints on the Eastern edge of the neighborhood about stray/feral/outdoor cats and residents feeding them consistently. We ask that you please do not feed these cats as it encourages them to continue to loiter. 

  6. Sylvania Bulk Pick-Up

    • Sylvania is offering bulk-pick-up for all residents. They have asked that residents place large items out by the curb on Sunday, September 13th as they will be beginning their rounds on Monday the 14th. For more information about what items can be picked up, please see the info below.
