Message from the President

Biggest Membership Responsibility In talking to many members, the decision to move to Lake Meade was to take advantage of opportunities that exist behind the “gate.” LMPOA provides us many conveniences, such as enjoying a beautiful lake, swimming in a wonderful pool complex, using recreation areas for activities and living behind that “gate” where specific rules and regulations have been established to preserve the quality of life within our community. I could go on and on regarding the benefits of living at Lake Meade, but decided my first column as your new president is to remind you of the biggest responsibility that comes with your membership — the right to be heard. While it is important to follow the rules as established in our bylaws, deed covenants, rules and regulations, building regulations and other association documents, it is most important to make your opinions known, but in the right place. What does this mean and how does it relate to LMPOA? The Association has great employees who work on behalf of you, but they cannot do it all. LMPOA relies on and is guided through membership volunteers. Those volunteers serve on committees or have been elected to the board of directors, but they aren’t the only ones who can help guide the organization. All members can do this by coming to committee or board meetings to listen to agenda topics and to provide their input on the same. Members stay informed on what

is happening within the community by attending the annual meeting. They read the Lake Meader and emails from the Association to stay current on events. Members even call or email the office staff to ask questions or ask where they can find answers within the Association documents. There is a lot of information available to members to answer questions or concerns that exist regarding our community. As a policy, LMPOA does not use social media sites such as Next Door, Facebook or Twitter to send information or to communicate with its members.

Annual Meeting Insert in this issue is a recap of your community’s accomplishments and plans. Here are a few snippets – please take time to read the committee reports in detail. • Finance – Fiscally sound association,

future challenges exist. • Building – Updated Building

Regulations-check website. • Community and Property

Appearance (CPAC) – Members should attempt to communicate their concern to the other party. If circumstances prevent this, file a form with the office for confidential reporting. Owners should observe and evaluate their property on a consistent basis – Is grass, vegetation and weeds higher than 7 inches (except in swales)? Is my yard neat with no clutter? Does my property have good curb appeal from all angles?

• Communications and Technology – Signage and Advertisement Regulations have been updated-check website. Committee is in the process of upgrading equipment for the office, patrol vehicle and gatehouse. 2017 Directory is for sale in the Lake Meade Office.

• Community Center and Marina – Rebuilt Community Center Roof (reinforced trusses, new shingles, new control joint and ceiling and new gutters and downspouts). Support Mac’s! They offer convenience for our members.

• Lake Management – Continue to seek innovative ways to deal with the nutrient load that we experience during storm events. Reinforced the anchoring systems at Blue Water

Lee and the Marina. Schnabel Engineering is in the beginning phases of our dam rehabilitation project.

• Recreation and Pool – Entrance Parkway Revitalization Project and rec. area enhancements are slated for 2018.

• Roads – Swales are Lake Meade’s stormwater management system. Here are basic guidelines for the health of the swales and therefore the health of the lake – Let grass grow to 7 inches in the swales or plant native plants to slow and absorb water; install culvert pipes no longer than 20 feet, which allows the vegetation in the swales to slow and filter water; avoid parking in the swales, which compacts the soil and allows motor fluids to drain into the swale.

• Safety & Traffic Watch – Gate & Patrol Uniforms instituted – Reading & Latimore Township Police continue patrolling.

• 50th Anniversary Celebration – Save the date – August 4, 2018.

• Lake Meade Fire and Rescue, Inc – President Dustin Avery provided a thorough explanation on the process to merge Hampton, East Berlin and Lake Meade’s Fire Companies. They meet the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Lake Meade Fire house.

• Lake Meade Municipal Authority – a separate entity that provides water and sewer services to the Lake

Lake Meade Dam Improvements Project Most readers are probably aware that for the past two years the Lake Committee has been working to respond to concerns raised by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection [DEP] about the long-term stability of our dam. These concerns center on two aspects of current dam management regulations: the ability of the dam to handle an extraordinarily large rainfall, and our ability to quickly lower the water levels in the lake if necessary. During this time, the Committee has interviewed eight engineering firms from around the country with expertise in managing dam improvements. Our goal has been to find a consulting engineer who would work with your Association on a long-term rehabilitation project. These firms have examined our facilities and records, and have met with the Committee to present their ideas on rehabilitation options. Members should know that all these firms have commented that our dam has been extremely well maintained, and that it currently shows no flaws or deficiencies that would raise immediate concerns. That said, it is more than 50 years old, and today’s design standards are far more stringent than they were in the mid-1960s, when the dam was built. Our challenge is to find a cost-effective way to meet DEP’s concerns and bring the dam as close as possible to current design standards. Last Spring, LMPOA hired Schnabel Engineering, based in West Chester, PA, to conduct a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the Lake Meade dam and surrounding watershed. The Committee recommended Schnabel because of their significant experience with dams such as ours, and

their willingness to commit significant staff resources to our project. Schnabel provided their report to the committee in December of last year. The committee reviewed it in detail, and at its February meeting the committee recommended the board accept it. This very preliminary study involved running a series of mathematical models to determine a set of reasonable assumptions that, if approved by DEP, would become the basis for all future design work. Put simply, if we were planning a football game, all this study would tell us is where to put the goal posts. Acceptance of this report is the first of many steps in a very long process. Each could take many months. The committee anticipates completing the entire project in three phases: Phase 1 – Study; Phase 2 – Plans and Specifications; Phase 3 – DEP Permit, Contract, Construction. At this point, there has been no determination of the best engineering solution, the costs, or the time frame for any work to be completed. We will keep members informed as this process evolves, but we do not anticipate any new developments for at least the next six months or so. Of course, members are always welcome at Lake Committee meetings, held the second Thursday of each month at 7pm.

f. Use of COGS areas is limited to aesthetic enjoyment and temporary recreational uses that do not disturb contiguous property owners or cause trespass on private property.

g. Alterations to COGS are prohibited.h. While in a COGS, dogs must be on a leash, and feces must

be cleaned up immediately.

REMINDER: Dumping of household trash in community dumpsters is not permitted.

Dispose of Electronics Responsibly. Affordable Computers, located at 120 Frederick Street, Hanover, PA accepts electronics for recycling, including projection large screen TV’s, CRT monitors, computers and peripherals, cell phones, etc. There is a per pound charge for all items dropped off for recycling. No items with Freon are accepted. Phone number: 646-0880. Hours of operation are

as follows: M-T-W - 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. TH-F – 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. SA – 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Trash Cans properly stored?We are asking our seasonal residents to please make arrangements for your trash and recycle receptacles to be stored properly after they are emptied by Republic Services, if you have returned home. Empty receptacles sitting out for days creates an untidy scene for everyone.

Roads ProjectThe Roads Committee tries to complete one major road project each year. This year, we are planning to work at Lee Cove. LMPOA maintenance personnel will work on minor road repairs at various locations.

The Lake Meade Homemakers club is a fun gathering where you can meet new friends and socialize with your neighbors. At every monthly meeting (held on the second Monday of each month from September to May at the LM Firehouse), we start off with a social time and lunch at 12:30, followed by a business meeting and program. Our programs vary considerably every month covering a huge variety of topics usually generated from members’ suggestions.

MARCH MEETINGIn March, Kathy Cooper spoke about her cultured pearl jewelry business, explaining the origin and techniques of cultured pearl development. As

part of her presentation, she drew a name from the hat to give away a lovely cultured pearl n e c k l a c e . Hazel Rider was the lucky recipient.

SPRING BANQUETAt our May meeting on Monday, May 8, we will be honoring our 2017 Scholarship winner along with the student’s parents during our Spring banquet. Each year, we award a $1000.00 scholarship which

is based on community service, to a Bermudian senior. We will also be honoring retiring president, Diane Reimert, who has served as our president for the last three years, after having served three years as vice-president. Elections will be held for next year’s officers.

LOOK FOR OUR SIGNBe sure to watch for the Homemakers sign at the bottom of the entrance bulletin board which announces all of our meetings. We look forward to welcoming new members. Call our President, Diane Reimert or V.P., Bea Hosler to learn more.

Nearly every property in Lake Meade has a swale in the front yard, which serves as our storm water system. Swales are man-made or natural channels which slow, filter, and absorb stormwater runoff. They hold water during and immediately after a storm but are typically dry at other times. For a long time, buried drainage systems were considered the most effective way to move water in the landscape. But this thinking has changed, landscape architects and engineers now recommend “daylighting” water runoff where possible. Daylighting is keeping water on the surface so that it can be managed, like LMPOA’s open swales. The most beneficial type of daylighted

swales are those planted with vegetation. Vegetation is a major part of Green Infrastructure. Swales planted with grass, flowers, and small shrubs, are a natural solution for our community to use in improving the lake. Planted swales benefit our community reducing pollutants and improving the water quality of runoff, minimizing erosion of swales and roadways by holding the soil in place, and providing an eye-appealing, easily maintained, landscape

especially near driveways, parking lots, and roads. Green Infrastructure practices are frequently referred to as Best Management Practices (BMPs). Here are some actions that every property owner can do. • Clean debris from your swales

(especially after the trash is picked up)

• Address standing water which has been in place for 72 hours or more

• Maintain grass in swales to a height of 7 inches

• Plant native plants (no invasive or exotic plants!)

• Do not apply fertilizers, weed killers (Round Up), or bug killers in your swale. Read labels for proper use.

New LMPOA regulations were passed on March 15, 2017, regarding driveways and swales. The following is a sample of those

regulations. The regulation can be found in the LMPOA regulations as well as the Building Regulations. • Every new, upgrade, or change of a driveway, culvert, and / or swale

constructed within the road right-of-way requires a LMPOA Letter of Approval.

• Roadside swales are in the road right-of-way. The road right-of-way is defined as approximately thirty-five (35) feet from the center of Lake Meade Drive and thirty (30) feet from the center of all other roads.

• All swales must be graded to facilitate water flow, no pooling of water. • The length of new culverts cannot exceed 20 feet • Remove leaves and debris from swales • Do not dump grass cuttings in swales • No parking in swales

Do One Thing To Improve A Swale!

Visualize the roads of Lake Meade bordered by beautiful flowers and grass! Planted swales will not only be beautiful, but they will discourage weeds, improve the soil, and slow water runoff. Native plants have the added benefit of longer, deeper roots, which serve as a sponge to hold and filter the water. Once established, they also require no additional watering or fertilization.

Recommendations for planting swales:• The recommended height of plants

will depend on the depth of the swale.

• Grass should be maintained at 7 inches

• Find the right plants for the wetness of your swale

• Always avoid invasive plants that are not native to PA, and noxious plants such as purple loosestrife which are harmful to natural habitats and ecosystems.

• Do not use fertilizers or weed killers in swales

• Plant colorful flowers for the WOW factor!

If you are having a party or gathering at your home, you should submit a party list to the gatehouse so they can admit your guests smoothly. The form is available on the web site, at the gate, or at the office.

We are a garden club focused on education. We utilize Master Gardeners and other qualified presenters to lead our monthly programs. In February Linette Mansberger from the South Mountain Audubon Society gave us a wonderful program about identifying common birds of South Central Pennsylvania and learning how to attract them. Monthly meetings take place at various times and locations depending on the program. For a copy of our annual schedule, contact Barb Mrgich.

Visitors are always welcome!

PATROL REPORT As Spring signals warmer days we will see a marked increase in bicyclists and pedestrians. Please treat them as you would desire to be treated. In turn, they should follow the applicable rules of the road wherein pedestrians walk facing traffic and bicyclists ride with traffic. The law permits pedestrians to vary from this rule where a shoulder exists but there is no roadway in Lake Meade where we have a berm that meets the definition of a shoulder as defined by the Federal Highway Administration. There are some issues that I wish to clarify this month since they seem to be unusually persistent. The first issue concerns the gate. The workers at the gatehouse can only manually OPEN the gate. All other functions are controlled by a computer program. There is a 3-4 second delay built into the program AFTER a vehicle crosses the magnetic loop that closes the gate. If you follow too closely to that vehicle or fail to wait for the gate to begin its downward

travel before approaching it, the gate will come down on your vehicle. Do not berate the gatehouse worker. It is beyond their control. The bottom line is “exhibit some patience”. The second issue concerns the function of patrol. Even though the issue has been addressed previously some members are under the impression that we are a community-wide ‘security’. This is not the case. Patrol duties are more akin to the functions of a code enforcement officer. Patrol duties are to enforce the regulations of the Association on LMPOA property. This includes, but is not limited to, the roadways and right of way, the recreational areas, the community center/pool complex and any other commonly owned property. If patrol observes a violation of LMPOA regulations on private property it must be from one of the preceding vantage points or from a complainant’s property and we simply report the violation for action by the Association. A patrol member

might approach you out of courtesy to advise you that you may be in violation. It is meant as a courtesy and we are not the final arbiter so please don’t be rude or belligerent. Patrol may ask you for identification and/or proof of residency while you are on LMPOA property simply to determine that there is not a trespassing violation. Any non-member who is not accompanied by a member shall be deemed to be trespassing so please stay with your guests while using the rec areas. Any member who observes an individual or group committing a violation of the crimes code (property damage) or vehicle code (tailgating) must call the police to report it. You may call the gatehouse or patrol for informational purposes but they will not respond to violations of the Laws of the Commonwealth.

The PA Department of Environmental Protection, Wetlands and Waterways Program (DEP-WWP) requires lake front properties planning shoreline, seawall or dock projects to first obtain a general permit from the DEP-WWP office prior to starting the project. These types of projects also require LMPOA Lake Committee review and approval by the LMPOA Building Committee. When the Building Committee approves the project, a Letter of Compliance is issued to the member. Depending on the scope of the project, the property owner may then be required to submit the plans to the township for a building permit and also obtain an Adams County permit. Property owners considering any type of shoreline, seawall or dock projects should plan well in advance, as the approval process with the various entities will take time to complete. DEP-WWP has provided the following contact information for questions you may have or to start the permit process: Nathan Phillips, Wetlands & Waterways Program Department of Environmental Protection Southcentral Regional Office 909 Elmerton Avenue | Harrisburg, PA 17110 Phone: 717-705-4822 [email protected]

Each site/project is different. Dealing with the property owner one-on-one, DEP-WWP can better assist you with determining which general permit you need for your project.
