2008 Standards Violations Update

Lakeport Cluster — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 19:39:41 +0000

Your new Board has taken on the task of working with the Reston Association (RA) to sort out the violations issues reported in Summer 2008. The next step was to report all existing violations to Reston for escalation, yet we’ve found that by doing so, we open ourselves to much stricter scrutiny. Unfortunately, our Cluster Standards aren’t 100% iron clad, so RA has asked us to update our standards before we escalate. We’re hoping to run a revision by you late this winter so that we can get them approved by RA this Spring. By that time, improved weather should facilitate addressing most violations more easily.

Sorry for the delay.

Holiday Reminder from Neighborhood Watch

Flood Insurance Scare

Lakeport Cluster — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:50:40 +0000

Several Lakeport Cluster Owners received a letter from the County of Fairfax stating that their home is in or near a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), or an area subject to frequent flooding. The letter implies that the recipient may need flood insurance and should act quickly to get a discounted rate. The Board confirmed with the County that no homes on Lake Thoreau, specifically none at Lakeport Cluster, will be affected by the 2008 revised SFHAs and that all owners may disregard the letter.
