Spring 2011
When Can I Purchase My 2011 Boat/ WaterCraft Stickers?
This year will start with special dates for Saturday and Sunday on 4/23 & 4/24 followed by Saturday and Sunday on 4/30 & 5/1 at the Main Boat Ramp from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., weather permitting and ice off of the lake. Guards will be there to take your money and issue you the stickers based on the rules for issuance contained in this note.
After these special pre-launch dates, the boat ramp and guards will resume their normal schedule for the 2011 season on May 7th and the hours will be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
You may also purchase your boat stickers from Pam at the LSPOA Office during regular business hours and also pre-buy by filling out and returning the boat sticker material sent to you as in the past with your dues bill.
What are the Requirements to obtain my Boat/Watercraft Stickers for 2011?
1) All motorized watercraft in the state of Michigan must be registered and display a current MC number to be operated on Michigan waters.
2) Your 2011 Association dues must be paid for all lots you own. There are no exceptions to these requirements. If you have any questions regarding your Association dues, please contact our office during normal hours or Mitch Wetzler at 248-345-7253.
3) A LSPOA boat registration form must be filled out. This form was included in the March mailing of the dues bills to all residents, at the LSPOA office during office hours or can be obtained at the boat ramp from the guards during duty hours.
4) You must show your current boat registration or a photocopy of such when purchasing the 2011 stickers (One copy per watercraft).
5) The 2011 stickers will only be issued if the property owners name is on the boat registration. For example, if your son wants to put in his boat but your name is listed as the property owner and not on the boat registration, a sticker will not be issued. If you want his boat on our lake then he needs to put the registration in the property owner's name. No exceptions to this by-law will be granted.
6) These requirements will be strictly enforced.
7) Your Lot No. must be on all of your motorized boats or watercraft. If you don't have numbers, ask the guards and these will be provided to you. It is recommended and to your advantage to also have your lot number on all non-motorized watercraft, floats, toys, etc. so they can be identified and returned to you if they break free.
These Rules and Regulations are for your benefit and should be clear and self explanatory. If you have any questions and need clarification, please contact a Guard, the Office, or the Security Chairman.
If you rent your home, please contact the Office and fill out the required form so that we can identify the renter for boat stickers, etc. and to insure that you understand that you are transferring all of your lake privileges to the renter for that parcel that you have rented. If you have any questions regarding this requirement, please read General Rules and Regulations, Page 7, item 2 of the Red Book or contact the Office.
Please however remember that I serve you, the Property Owners and provide 100s of hours for free, so if you have an issue, I, along with the Board will get it resolved, but please use self control when dealing with us as in general we are only enforcing the Rules and Regulation in the RED Book with our Mission to make our Lake the best of any in Michigan which will only increase your property value.
