Nextdoor Lakemoor Hills Solicitation
Many of you received a solicitation recently from a company asking you to subscribe to a social media site titled Nextdoor. It appeared to have originated from within our neighborhood, but was actually posted by a company in California. They offered services that we are currently enjoying through the LHHA website www.lakemoor.org and our neighborhood Facebook page. Our Communications team has been investigating the option, but we can see no value to subscription for our members. So I want to let you know that LHHA does not endorse the site and does not plan to recommend subscription by members of Lakemoor Hills. Please let us know if you have any questions. Have a great summer!

Alcoa Hwy: May 31, 2017
Contract CNQ029 Alcoa Highway SR 115 (US 129)
May 31, 2017 Project Update
Grading and fill operations are going well. Material from the large cut on the west side of Alcoa Hwy where Wall #8 is located is being hauled to the low area south of Montlake Dr. from Alcoa Hwy to Lynbrulee Ln. The photo below shows the haul road and benches in that cut. On the east side of Alcoa Hwy you can see the cut near Barber Hill Ln. Storm drain and utility relocations are also being installed and are on schedule.
Below you can see the view from Montlake Dr. looking south across the fill area where Ramp A will be constructed, connecting Montlake Dr. to Collector 3.
Weather Outages
It appears that last night most of the peninsula lost power during the storm. Some of you have had power restored. Lakemoor still has a tree with lines down at Carriage Ln. Any others still have problems?

Fire Protection in Lakemoor Hills
Most residents of Lakemoor Hills are not City of Knoxville residents, do not pay city taxes, and therefore do NOT have fire protection unless they subscribe to the service that Rural Metro offers. At our last homeowners’ meeting we learned that Rural Metro will respond to a fire in our neighborhood whether that family has subscribed to fire protection or not. If you are a subscriber, the visit is free. If you do not subscribe, the fee is $1,500 per truck per hour. Multiple trucks are typically dispatched. The average cost charged to the homeowner to put out a fire is $8,000. If you do not subscribe to fire protection, then it is time to do it. Don’t gamble on never having a visit from the fire department. That is a costly mistake. Here is a document that will give you information on their service.rural metro
BEAUTIFICATION IDEA – New Flowering Trees & Shrubs
Blount County Soil Conservation is holding their 2017 Annual Fundraiser and offering bare root trees and shrubs at very low prices. If your dogwood trees are over 20 years old, they may be more susceptible to disease and insects. Lakemoor Hills will be the featured trail again (when our entry gets completed) for the Dogwood Arts Festival. This is an excellent opportunity to get some new flowering plants started in your yard. The deadline is February 17, 2017 to place an order.
Alcoa Hwy: December 20, 2016
Charles Blalock & Sons, and their subcontractor Rogers Group is preparing to place asphalt base for the Maloney Road collector (roundabout). Once guardrail, asphalt pavement and pavement markings are installed, traffic will be turned onto the new section of roadway. This should allow for traffic to access Maloney Road and the adjacent properties without using the temporary runaround (see photo below).
Crews will be excavating for Wall #8 on the west side of Alcoa Hwy soon. In preparation for this work and subsequent fill activities on the opposite side of Alcoa near Mount Vernon, the contractor has excavated the grassy median section and placed stone fill. Trucks will be crossing Alcoa Hwy at this location (see below).
Homeowners Meeting on Tuesday, 7 PM Lake Hills Church
Each of you should have received notice of the homeowners meeting that is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 7 PM at Lake Hills Church. We will hold an election for the 2016-17 board of directors and discuss a number of issues that affect our neighborhood. If you have not renewed or joined the LHHA, you may turn in your 2016-17 dues ($25) at that time. That will make you eligible for the discounted waste management fee offered through WCI to our organization. Please send a representative from your household.
