woodland lakes

i own property there and have heard some bad things are going on there. heard that trustees are being paid to be non working supervisors , maybe stealing and misapp. funds.

One of the Trustees was hired as a Maintenance Supervisor/Independent Contractor. We have just learned our attorney has deemed it as "The spirit has been broken of the Trust Indenture." In other words our Trust Indenture has been violated. Read your Trust Indenture, make sure you come to the next P.O.M. Most of the Trustees on board have not read the Indenture. There are two trustees running again, that are now on board. The property owners are trying to get them out of office, so all this may be resolved and fixed. Hope this helps, we have contacted an attorney, he said to wait and see if he gets in again, and if so, our attorney is ready to pounce.

How about paying (good money) a reserve , Washington County deputy sherrif to be security , but is never on the job.

I was thinking of buying a lot for camping...I may be in your area this weekend..Would like to talk with you....

On thing is to many people in charge and no one knows what they are doing. Trustees do as they please. With our funds. Like building things we don't need,because things are already there. Everyone has there own way about things. A place like this needed everything voted on. The trustees should be working for us the owneres not themself.Meeting on april 12th everone needs to be there to voice your concerns. On the other hand it is a nice place to go with freinds and family, some times people needs to forget when we are out there about the office crap and camp and have good clean fun.

I've thought seriously about buying there. Can anyone update this forum by telling us what happened at the last meeting. Did they vote out the problem people or are they still there?

Also, can someone tell me about the planthe association has about paving more of the roads there?
Thanks- I would truesly appreciate anything you can tell me about it.

would like to hear from people that live there,i have an ol boy looking to sell his 3 ac.any info would be nice.

go find you a few private ac. and save your self alot of trouble. no rules is a good thing.

-Thinking of Buying-----
Even though people complain about the association... everyone I talk to LOVE being out there.- It can't be that bad...(At least I hope not-- I just bought out there!:))

We just bought a couple months ago at Woodland Lakes. We absolutely love the area. I had read things in the newsletter about what's going on. Because we are weekenders,(and can't come out every weekend) we miss meetings. Are there ways to vote absentee on some of these issues? I want to see the area stay beautiful and want to see our money used wisely.

Hello,
I've been looking for an area for my family & I to ride our dirt bikes & ATV on the weekends, and I understand they allow them here.
My questions are the following:
#1. "Are there any wide open spaces and trails to ride on, or mainly just flat dirt/rock roads?"
#2. "If there is a specific ATV/dirt bike riding area, how large is it (acres/miles)?"
I've been looking at Lake Hanna as well...
I'd appreciate any/all comments concerning this, and thank you in advance!!

Dirt Bike Riders,
When I'm out there people use their ATVs to travel from point a to point b. If you go to the Woodland lakes Web site: http://www.woodlandlakes.org/ it says in the lower left on the home page it says that "Woodland lakes does not condone riding that they don't promote or condone off road riding of recreational vehicals." There are some nature trails but they are for hikers. So far I haven't seen anyone taking their ATVs off road.(not to say it doesnt happen -just haven't seen it.) hope this helps.

I'm thinking about buying out there. Is it all families with kids or do you see singles out there too? It seems like a great place- Does anyone like it out there?

Nature Fan- Last weekend another owner killed a copper head snake on his property... hope you like that kind of nature too....

The place is better off without idiots like you.

Yes there are families with kids & singles. We've been out here for about 16yrs and It's a great place to meet others that are wanting to have a good time.

Thanks for writing back "Happy with Woodland lakes" Its nice to hear from people who like it instead of hearing from just complainers.

You are very welcome, it's nice to know that people, such as yourself, are still looking for nature and enjoyment.

Look forward to having you as a new owner.

yep, I agree

Woodlands is a great place. The problem is we put trutees in office who have no experince and they try to make it better and get knocked down. I think we need new blood out there instaed of the same old trustees in.
