Kathy Proctor

Hello neighbors,

The board met on Tuesday night and we have a number of needs and I am sure that we have talented residents that may fit our needs.

1.  Has anyone ever built a Wikipedia page?  We would like to create one about our neighborhood.
2. Looking for someone that is familiar with Quicken that would like to take on some financial management for the LHHA.
3. Looking for a few folk that love working off ladders to help put lights on the neighborhood Christmas tree on Dec. 1.

Also – I did have a response to our inquiry for a notary in the neighborhood.  Susannah Perry on Manor Dr. is happy to assist anyone with this need.

If you are interested in helping resolve any of these three needs, please email me at [email protected] or call 599-7783.

thank you,

Kathy Proctor

From time to time some of our residents are in need of a notary.  Some of our residents have difficulty in leaving the neighborhood to seek this service.  Are there any notaries in the neighborhood that would like the LHHA to share their contact info?  Just email Kathy Proctor at [email protected].

Below are your questions and the answers from the engineer on the project. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact me. Keisha Gregory, TDOT,  [email protected]

 

1. When are the bridges and access roads are projected to be completed?

• The 3 bridges are all on different time frames and it is unclear on the exact dates they will be completed/open to traffic.  I can tell you that the bridge at Maloney road will be the first one completed, and is projected to be open to the public sometime around early spring at the latest, weather permitting.  The bridge at Montlake will be the next one completed, followed by the bridge at Mount Vernon.

2. Will development will be encouraged on the larger parcels of land around the intersections?

• Anything within state right of way will not have any type of development going on.  There is a large portion of land acquired by the contractor on Montlake that is near the roundabout intersection, but the state does not know the intentions of the contractor for this parcel after construction is completed.

3. What progress is being made on the greenways?

• The greenway will be one of the last things completed/open on the project.  The grade work for the greenway has been completed in some sections along its route, but a majority of the alignment for the greenway depends on other activities to be completed before it can be installed.  To explain the greenway at retaining wall at Woodson.  The greenway will not be hanging off of the wall, but will rather be on the roadway side of the wall.  There will be a concrete barrier wall constructed between the greenway and Alcoa highway for safety of those using the greenway in this area.  For now,  the greenway will end just passed Woodson until the next project begins which will pick it back up and carry it to the current greenway that runs along Fort Loudon.

4. Some explanation for the work at Ginn:

• Both Ginn road West and East required grade work for their new alignments, which is now completed at this time.  As of right now,  East Ginn road is projected to be completed first and open to traffic within the next few months.  West Ginn road will then be completed once the East side is done.

 

Please note, that a vast majority of the work left to be completed on the North end of the project for the bridges, access roads, greenways, etc…   depend on the large retaining wall being constructed across from Mount Vernon.  Once you see this nearing completion, then you’ll see a lot of these things really coming together.

 

September 2018 CNQ029 update

At the last LHHA meeting we posted all the suggestions that were received for names for the new service road(s) at Alcoa Hwy.  Attendees at the meeting voted on the suggestions and these were the top three winners –

1. Lakemoor View
2. Quiet Side Dr. or Ln.
3. Lakeside Way

I have submitted these 3 names to the city for review. I think business owners along the roads will have their input and then it will be submitted to MPC for review and comment. I will inform you of any feedback that I receive.

Thanks for being part of the process!

Kathy Proctor, LHHA President

Hello Neighbors,

In the past week each of you should have received the renewal letter for your LHHA membership.  (Our calendar year runs from Sept. 1 to August 30.)  I tried to list many of the benefits that your small investment brings to you in the accompanying letter, such as the discount with Waste Connections, the Emergency Response Team that mobilizes during severe weather incidents, and the great neighborhood picnic and events.  And you know we have lots of other things going on!!

To remain a part of our homeowners’ association, please make your checks to Lakemoor Hills HOA and return your payment of $25 to Bill Stoess, 4000 Maloney Rd.  You could also bring the payment to the next LHHA meeting on Tuesday, September 11 (7 PM) at Lake Hills Church.  Or you can go online to www.lakemoor.org, log into the website and pay online.

Any additional tax deductible donations that you choose to make to improve our neighborhood should be written to the Lakemoor Hills Resource Council, our 501(c)3.

Your contributions will help us continue to improve our neighborhood and keep The Quiet Side of the River (Lakemoor Hills)  the best little neighborhood in Knox County .

I have previously mentioned to many of you that we have an opportunity to be involved in the naming of the new southbound exit road/ access road that is currently under construction to the west of Alcoa Hwy.  There is also a road to the east of Alcoa.  There are a few parameters [ we cannot use a name that is used elsewhere in Knox County & the name must meet MPC guidelines].  I had submitted to them Lake Hills Blvd. but that name is in use elsewhere.  I have received a few recommendations, but I would like to hear from as many of you as possible.  Here are a few to get your brains thinking creatively.  Please email me or post some ideas here or on our facebook page.  If they allow us enough time to discuss, this will be a topic at our next LHHA meeting in Sept.  If we have to respond earlier, I’ll let you know.

thanks, Kathy Proctor

I was contacted by a neighbor today with concerns about two asphalt paving companies that they saw were doing business in our neighborhood.  These two companies are reputed to have bad track records.   We have a listing of recommended contractors and subcontractors that neighbors have positive experiences with, but I do not think any asphalt paving companies are on that list yet.  If you have had a positive experience please share their name and contact information on the LHHA Andy’s list.  If you are doing or contemplating a paving project at your home and want to know the questionable company names, please contact me.  If you do not know how to post to Andy’s list, just send the information to Kathy Proctor and we will get it added to the list for you.  Thank you for looking out for your neighbors!

Well it looks like winter is here yet again, and sometimes winter brings us situations that take our power down in Lakemoor Hills.  Tuesday, April 17 at 7 PM at Lake Hills Church we will have representatives from Lloyd’s Electric, who have provided back up generators to a number of Lake Hills residents, on hand to explain about back up power options.  They will talk about whole house generators, portable generators, neighborhood discounts and financing options.  If your electrical power situation makes you a little nervous, then come to this informative meeting to hear what the experts have to say.  The more of us that are involved, the deeper the discount.  Take advantage of this opportunity tomorrow evening.
