Hi Neighbors, I am looking for a person to assist the LHHA Beautification Committee by being responsible for checking the two doggie waste stations on the walkway at the church and refilling the dispensers with plastic bags when they get empty. They need refilling once every few months. We will bring you the keys to the dispensers and a supply of bags. Please email Kathy Proctor at [email protected] if you would like to help. Thank you!!

Nextdoor Lakemoor Hills Solicitation

by

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!

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

by

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
