Police activity in the neighborhood
A number of Lakemoor residents are concerned about police activity in the neighborhood. John Haynes just spoke with the County Sheriff’s office who advised to stay indoors and lock your doors. They could not comment on anything else at this time. There is a discussion on the Facebook group page as well.
Blalock Petitioning City to Annex Lynbrulee Property
FOR YOUR INFORMATION – Request to the city to annex property on Lynbrulee in Lakemoor Hills. B S & J Enterprises is affiliated with Blalock Construction.
The owners of the three properties to be annexed requested to be inside the city, and all three have adjacent properties already inside the city limits.
In South Knox County, B S & J Enterprises is seeking annexation for property at the corner of Montlake Drive and Lynbrulee Lane. The company owns adjacent property that fronts Alcoa Highway.
In West Knox County between Rocky Hill and Lakeshore Park, the Sisters of Mercy have asked that their convent be annexed. A portion of the property fronting Northshore Drive is in the city, but the bulk of the land is outside. Sister Anna Marie McGuan wrote to the city that the sisters are concerned about fire and police protection, as well as building permits and other bureaucratic matters. (As a tax-exempt religious institution, the convent doesn’t have to worry about paying city property taxes.)
Farther west on Cogdill Drive, the Epperly Family Partnership is requesting annexation for a commercial parcel near Interstate 40. Like the other annexation applicants, the partnership owns an adjacent parcel that is already inside the city limits.
A public hearing to discuss the plans of service and the annexations will occur at 11:30 a.m. on June 12 in the Small Assembly Room of the City County Building. If approved, the annexation resolution will be heard at City Council on June 18 and July 2.
Need your buckets or gator tree bags
We planted 33 new trees in circle lake park (LLP&GACL). The trees will need frequent water for the next 2 years. If you have tree bags we can borrow or if you can give us 5 gallon buckets we can convert for watering it would be a great help. Please bring the to the picnic on Saturday. Just put them into the old red Jeep truck in the church parking lot.

Association Meeting last Thursday night
Great to see so many neighbors attend the Association Meeting last Thursday night. What a nice tribute to Charlie Mulligan,.
Everyone enjoyed the social time before the meeting along with the wonderful finger food supplied by Family Meal. They are a nice and talented couple that would love to hear from anyone interested in their food services. Below is the link to their website also in the photo section I have pics of their card. http://www.familymealdfh.com

Charlie was instrumental in restarting our homeowners association, setting up the Resource Council , the 501(c)3, and working with TDOT to ensure that our neighbors would have access to BOTH sides of Alcoa Hwy, whether in auto, on foot or on bicycle.

Do Not Respond to GoFundMe Scam
Some of you may have received an email that appeared to come through our Lakemoor Hills list serve with the plea asking you to provide money to a child that needs help through a Go Fund Me fund. This is the second time that that particular scam has hit our website and was distributed. Do not respond to the fund request that says Ronnie Recovery Fund.
We are working to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.
