Grill removal from upper decks
We have been notified by our insurance carrier, Pioneer State Mutual, that we are required to remove any grills from the upper rear decks (2nd and 3rd story balconies). Grills may remain on ground level rear decks. The carrier has given us a compliance deadline of July 5, 2023. For those units affected, your grill may be stored in your garage and pulled out in front of your garage for use.Violations of this requirement will compromise our insurance policy. It is, therefore, critical to comply by July 5, 2023. There will be an inspection by our insurance carrier sometime in July.
If you need assistance removing a grill, you can submit a work order through the LSC website,

Reminders
- Common Elements of the Association may be used by Owners and their guests. This includes lawns, paths, gazebo, beaches, waterfront, mooring areas, etc.
- General Rules– 3.9 states: “Any gathering or event that effectively monopolizes a Lakeside amenity or otherwise prevents the fair use of that amenity by other Co-Owners is prohibited without the express prior written approval by the Board of Directors.” Please email Shelly Germain (Board President) with requests before planning get-togethers of more than 6 people.
- One owner requested permission to host a large gathering (12-18 people) on the lawn near unit 45 on Sunday, July 2 (weather permitting). Other owners and guests will still have access to the lawn area and waterfront. Permission was granted by the Board.
- Another owner requested permission to host a gathering on the lawn near unit 42 during the Fourth of July holiday timeframe. Permission was granted by the Board.
- Dogs must be leashed at all times. This keeps everyone safe, including our furry friends.
Friends and Family
If you give permission for family and/or friends to stay in your unit, without your presence, please
provide your guests with copies of the LSC General Rules and Rules for the Amenities. Both can be found on the LSC website.
Interactive Maps on website
There are six interactive maps on the Lakeside Club website. Two maps emphasize our location (“Lakeside Club Location” and “Little Traverse Bay”) and four topic-based maps feature different types of sites, such as restaurants and food and drink-related sites. The topic-based map links are on the AREA INFO menu and the location maps can be found on the LAKESIDE CLUB menu.
When you open a map, you will see many colored markers corresponding to sites of interest. Hovering over a marker with your cursor displays the name of the site, and clicking on the marker brings up a box that includes the name, address, phone number, and other useful information about the site.
Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with these maps. At this year’s annual meeting, we will all decide if the maps should remain on the website because there is a $15 monthly fee to have them posted.
