More Tulips Available for Trail Residents- Hurry

by

This past week about two dozen of your Lakemoor Hills neighbors planted about 450 Pink Impression tulip bulbs outlining the center circles of each of the three Alcoa Highway roundabouts at Maloney and Montlake.  This project is sponsored by the Lakemoor Hills Garden Club to help showcase Lakemoor Hills as the “featured trail” for Dogwood Arts in spring 2022.  These tulips are expected to begin blooming in early April – about the time of the opening of the Dogwood Trail.

Some Pink Impression tulip bulbs are still available to homeowners along the Dogwood Trail.  If you are interested in exhibiting this symbol of neighborhood pride on your property facing the Dogwood Trail, you can ask for a package containing 9 of these tulip bulbs.  Help is available with siting and planting as needed.  We recommend a $5 donation to the Lakemoor Hills Garden club for your package of bulbs.

To place your order, contact Tim McLaughlin (865-599-7251) or Cindy McLaughlin (865-599-7239).

It’s not too late, but don’t delay! Only 18 packages of tulips remain!

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
