  • Presented Casino Beach development ideas to build camaraderie on the project

Summary

The purpose of our short presentation at the Boat & Ski Club's board meeting was to introduce our new board officers, share the new boundaries of SSNA and to discuss the progress toward the Casino Beach development plan.  

Deanne shared Dave Lewis's presentation for possible development, talked about our own neighborhood's inputs to the city and the plan for the city to go out for public for further input.  Tom elaborated on the need to have commercial businesses and shared the facts on the size of the park land, and city land.  

The Ski club members shared ideas and concerns about some of the inputs based on trails that were put in on Cahoba areas.  They also have concerns about the homeless activity around the lake and have also been disappointed with the inability to effect change.

Adrienne talked about the new Facebook group, blog and email address for SSNA. 

The only action taken was to provide the Ski club with Dave Lewis’ contact info.

Discussion: Dock Ordinance Changes

Image
From neighbor Dave Bodden: The existing boat dock ordinance is a complex and confusing document that does not serve the lake residents well.  The biggest problem with this ordinance is the way that land property lines are extended onto the water to be used as boundaries in determining where your dock can be placed and if you meet offset requirements from the boundary lines.  This would be fine if your property lines were perpendicular to the shore line but for most lots they are not.  The unique lot shapes around the lake and especially in coves where lots are arranged in a semi-circle make the existing dock ordinance very unfair for some lake owners, to the point that it would be difficult to build a boat dock.  In some cases it would be perfectly fine using the existing dock ordinance for some owners to build a dock in front of their neighbors house. This does not make sense. There are numerous other problems with the ordinance that can be identified.  Unfortu...

Discussion: Yellow Center Striping on Watercress Initiative

Image
  UPDATE Email recieved Dec 16, 2025 from Phelisha Bollin - COFW Transportation Customer Solutions Analyst I have received an update from our Engineering team concerning your traffic safety concerns and requests regarding Watercress Dr. While the roadway does not comply with TMUTCD guidelines (a travel way of 20 feet or more in width and an ADT of 4,000 vehicles per day or greater) for centerline implementation, our Engineering team analyzed traffic count data for both eastbound and westbound Watercress Dr in relation to your request for an exception. The daily volume is very low (667 vehicles /day). The findings also revealed that this location does not present significant speeding issues. The recorded 85th percentile speed on Watercress Dr was 33 mph eastbound and 29 mph westbound. The posted speed limit is 30 mph. Consequently, a petition is also not recommended.   The Engineering team also examined the crash data for this area, which indicated that there have been 6 r...

Discussion: Lake Closure Changes

Image
  From neighbor Dave Bodden: I have always heard that the Lake needs to be closed when it reaches a mean sea level of 595.5 because of boat wakes that negatively affect some houses on the lake.  I have never understood how we stop the wind from creating waves when the lake is closed and causing the same effect as boat wakes.  So again, I don't understand the rational.  But, that rational certainly doesn't apply to kayaks, canoes, and unpowered fishing boats (which includes those powered by a trolling motor).  These watercraft do not cause wakes. I would like our Association to support changing policies that eliminate any restrictions on kayaks, canoes, and unpowered boats other than trolling motor powered boats when the lake is closed.  The lake closure policy should just state that using a gas powered or electric powered boat is not allowed during lake closures with the exception of trolling motor powered boats. Please share your thoughts and discuss in th...
