Project/Grounds Update
- Staff continues winter heat checks, ensuring that windows are closed, heat is turned on, and thermostats are set to a minimum of 55 degrees. If you do not want your unit checked during the winter months, please notify staff by submitting a Repair Request Form—accessible from the LSC website.
- Heat tapes are maintained by LSC staff. Please do not plug or unplug them.
- Project to support/level Building D (units 13-22) and Building E (units 23-32) has been completed
Pool and Hot Tub
Thank you for your patience and understanding while the pool and hot tub were closed for repairs. The new dehumidifier is larger than the previous one, causing the main pool door to be removed so the unit could be brought into the building. Once inside, it was necessary to take out the changing rooms to make more room for the unit. The floor in front of the hot tub was opened to provide access to plumbing and valves that needed to be replaced. All work is complete with the pool and hot tub ready for your enjoyment.
Reminders . . .
- Pets must be on leash.
- Please do not have your pets urinate at the entrances to the buildings; instead, use the interior pathways or perimeter areas away from buildings. We appreciate your cooperation.
- Renters are NOT allowed to have pets.
- Owners are responsible for picking up their pet’s poop.
- Two bag stations are on the property.
- Please shower before using the pool.
- Reminder: No food or beverages are allowed in the pool house.
- QUIET HOURS ARE 10PM — 8AM. (Please let renters and guests know)
- PLEASE ABIDE BY OUR SPEED LIMIT FOR SAFETY.
- Owners that rent or have guests at their condominium are responsible for ensuring these renters or guests abide by the Lakeside General Rules.
