We pay dues to maintain our lakes-why implement a policy that allows unaccompanied non-resident “guests” to fish? The proposed policy leaves room for abuse. I have 30 friends who would love to be on the fishing “guest” list. Soon hundreds of “guests” who Board Members are supposed to keep track of will have permission to fishing the lakes we pay to maintain. Not a good idea

(Part 1/6) Thank you to the LMA Board for the work it does to help our neighborhood be such a lovely and inviting place! Thanks also for using our Lakepoint By-Laws when proposing new rules/policies for our Common Area. New rules and a possible new Fishing Policy were discussed at the October 2016 Annual LMA Members’ Meeting.

(Part 2/6) At the Annual Mtg several people from several different individual neighborhoods gave feedback. The LMA Board confirmed they’d consider this feedback.

(Part 3/6) Comments by different Owners included (not verbatim):
• Don’t like non-residents fishing here because they litter & have large, late night teenager parties.
• Any rule considered should have reporting be behavior based. Rather than ask Owners to report a Fisher they don’t know/looks like they don't belong, ask Owners to report Fishers who are littering, climbing on rocks, etc.

(Part 4/6) Comments by Owners included (not verbatim):
• If there’s a Fishing Rule, why is it based on appearance?
• These are our lakes and no one else should get to use them
• No fishing rule is needed at all. Just remind Lakepoint owners of basic courtesies (when fishing) for residents and invited guests
• Maybe residents can have fishing passes to show when fishing

(Part 5/6) Comments by different Owners included (not verbatim):
• Very uncomfortable with the idea of “registering” our guests. A guest (relative from out of town, nanny, etc.) may not want their name registered with a group of people they don’t know.
• Signs placed at the lakes should cut down on most non-resident fishing and alleviate the need for more regulation.

(Part 6/6) Comments by Owners included (not verbatim):
• How appropriate is it to “register” minors? Many families (esp. over the summer) have minor babysitters. Will these families not get to use our Lakes?
Recent comments heard include:
• There’re more than 300 homes in LP. No one should be expected to know everyone who lives here and who doesn’t.
Thanks again for all you do!

I do not support. We need to demand and insist on having home owners accompanying guests. Failing to enforce this basic policy will simply make matters worse and increase the frequency of illegal use of our beautiful lakes. Only home owners can effectively control the access and the use of the grounds. Please let's keep it that way.
