Test is Delayed.

In the pretest for the Saturday test, the team encountered some technical difficulty. Once these issues are resolved, we will be initiating the test again. We will let you know in advance. Thank you for your patience. You do not need to do anything at this time.

The LHHA has an Emergency Text Alert System that pushes vital information out to the membership. As we are going into a more critical weather season, the LHHA ERT will perform a test of our Emergency Text Alert System on Saturday, January 3 at noon. Many of our residents have already signed up for the system, but if you do not receive the text by 1 PM and would like to be included in this system, please do the following:

Text DETAILS to 55678.

Thank you very much,

The ERT Team

As you know, Mount Olive Elementary is the designated elementary school for children in Lakemoor Hills, located just across Alcoa Hwy and down Maloney Rd. It is also the place where we are assigned to vote, so most of you have visited that property. A non-profit – Little Chefs, Big Changes (LCBC) has developed an after-school program at Mount Olive to teach children about nutrition and food preparation. The Lakemoor HIlls Garden Club has chosen to support this endeavor, and thought some of you who were not garden club members might be interested also. They need funds and different cooking equipment to help more students be able to participate.

Here is a little more about the project from Sarah Wharton, Executive Director of LCBC.

We’re excited to introduce you to Little Chefs, Big Change (LCBC)—a Knoxville-based nonprofit that teaches kids how to cook nutritious, affordable meals. At Mount Olive Elementary, their after-school classes help students learn essential cooking skills, try new foods, and enjoy a full meal they’ve cooked themselves featuring veggies, whole grains and legumes. 

The Lakemoor Hills Garden Club is teaming up with LCBC to raise funds so more Mount Olive students can participate and so they can continue offering classes each semester. Your support goes straight to the cooking program at Mount Olive and will allow LCBC to serve more kids in our community. To donate, check out their campaign called Nourishing Mount Olive Kids, One Recipe At A Time. 

Want to donate supplies instead? You can use the LCBC Amazon wishlist to buy the supplies needed to build Mount Olive their own cooking kit.

Hello friends and neighbors. At the recent LHHA Board meeting it was decided to again restrict access to our Facebook page & our Members Only portion of the website to only those people who are current members of the organization. After the meeting next Tuesday (Nov. 18) I will purge all members of this group who have not renewed membership in LHHA ($40). There are about 40 of you who fall in that category. If you are unsure whether you sent in your dues in September, you can PM me or email me at [email protected]. If you know you have not renewed, then go to lakemoor.org and click the HOA Member Dues and Renewal tab at the top of the page. Scroll down and you will see the online renewal form. I will be updating Waste Connections with the current membership list at that time also. I apologize for this inconvenience. Kathy Proctor, LHHA Treasurer

Knox Planning UDO Meeting Schedule

The 3rd Phase of the Comprehensive Land Use & Transportation Plan is called the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). This phase will address zoning standards, street standards, subdivision regulations, stormwater regulations and building & fire codes. To do this, Knox Planning is holding a series of meetings, face to face and online, for public input this week. Please attend one or more if you can. Follow this link for more information. https://knoxplanning.org/news/2025/0912/841/udo-open-houses-scheduled FYI – you must preregister for the Thursday (noon) online meeting.

Knox Planning (Advanceknox.org) has undergone a multi-year effort to develop a Growth Policy Plan for the future of Knox County. This plan addresses zoning, land use, transportation, and other issues. The process has completed and adopted through the 2nd of 3 phases, which dramatically changes the designated land use of our neighborhood. Please look at the drawing attached to this post and follow the link to get more information about the descriptions of these new land uses. TN – Traditional Neighborhood (pg. 30), SR-Suburban Residential (pg. 33) & SMR-Suburban Mixed Residential (pg. 34). https://advanceknox.org/resources/final%20plan/Knox%20County%20Comprehensive%20Land%20Use%20and%20Transportation%20Plan.pdf. For those in the neighborhood that have concerns about how these changes impact Lakemoor Hills, our County Commissioner has offered to assist us to help update the plan. He stated, “I need broad support from the community to begin this update.” More information will follow about how you can respond and get involved.

Thank you to the 150 residents who have already renewed their membership in the Lakemoor Hills Homeowners Association for the 2025 -2026 year. Now is the time for the rest of you to join them. You may submit your $40 dues by going onto the website https://lakemoor.org/lhha/hoa-member-dues-renewal/ or you can send a check to the Treasurer. We will be updating Waste Connections with the current membership listing in September. Thank you for your support!

Mail $40 check payable to LHHA to:

Our first membership meeting this fall will be held at the Lake Hills Presbyterian Church on September 16, 2025 at 7 PM. We will have a program titled Fire Safety at Your Home.

Greetings Neighbors – Wanted to give you a heads up that it is time for our annual dues renewal for membership in the Lakemoor Hills Homeowners Association.  Next week you should receive in the mail your dues renewal.  It’s still just $40.  This is due by September 1.  You may return your payment in the enclosed envelope, or you can go online at this link DUES RENEWAL.  Our next membership meeting will be at Lake Hills Church at 7 PM on September 16 where we will elect new officers and board members.  See you there!

Tuesday, November 19 at 7 PM the LHHA will hold a membership meeting that is open to all members of the Lakemoor Hills neighborhood. In addition to LHHA business, the LHHA board of directors has invited TDOT to the HOA meeting. TDOT has graciously accepted and has put together a short presentation on all of the road construction around our neighborhood.

Please come to the HOA meeting tomorrow and see what’s going on around us, as well as ask any questions about progress or timelines. The HOA meeting starts at 7pm at the Lake Hills church. The road construction directly affects us all.

On September 1, 2024 the new LHHA Leadership Team took office. Some have served in the same capacity before and some are brand new. If you need help with something or have some great ideas on ways we can make our neighborhood even better, please reach out to one of these people and share your ideas and concerns. If you would like to fill one of the vacant Committee Chair positions, contact one of the Leadership Team. You can get their phone numbers by downloading the current Membership List that is posted on the website. https://lakemoor.org/resources/membership-lists/
