We are requesting a representative to attend our next neighborhood meeting to update us and answer questions.  The board plans to meet with Macy Hill to brainstorm on new ideas fo...

Last month on Dec 6th SSNA neighbors gathered at the Taylor home on Peninsula Club to watch the lighted boat parade together.  We voted on our favorite top three decorated boats, and the boaters voted on our decorated docks.  About a dozen boats were in the parade and we had a gathering of about 20 neighbors for good fun and good food!

  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...

Thank you to the neighbors who participated in the Litter Stomp last Saturday.  Supplies and volunteer t-shirts were handed out the night before at Island View Drive Park.  Casino Beach, Love Circle and Peninsula Club all received some personal TLC.  Many bags of trash were collected.  Thanks again for support this effort!

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...
