WHAT ARE THE BOUNDARIES OF LAKEWOOD VILLAGE ASSOCIATION?
NOTICE: If you are interested in attending a Small Group Info Session regarding the proposed LVA Amendments to the Articles and Bylaws, please notify the Office @ 515-287-1804; or send an email to lakewoodoffice@yahoo.
FOR YOUR ATTENTION REGARDING ICE ON THE LAKE - Reprinted Notice from IDNR:
* There is no such thing as 100% safe ice.
* New ice is usually stronger than than old ice.
* Avoid off-colored snow or ice. It is usually a sign of weakness.
* There could be pockets of thin ice or places where ice recently formed, so check ice thickness as you go out. This is especially true with the currents in Lake Colchester. (Throwing a large rock to test ice IS NOT A VALID METHOD FOR CHECKING ICE THICKNESS.)
* Never go on the ice alone. If the worst should happen, someone would be there to call for help or rescue.

ATTENTION:
Everyone knows that drinking or ingesting lake water is not a good idea. This is a reminder that there are many organisms, bacteria, little creatures and other chemicals (beyond our control) that populate any lake; and care should be taken to avoid drinking or swallowing the water should you choose to be in the water. If you or the family experience illness after swimming in the lake, you should immediately contact your health care provider and get checked out. It was recently brought to our attention that a resident suspects they became ill through inadvertently swallowing lake water. This emphasizes the need to both be careful, and contact your health care provider if you are not feeling well.
NORTH SHORE
Road Contractor's, Inc. announces that the 350-acre North Shore planned community project will be ready for developing to break ground in 2015 after the City of Norwalk has reviewed and approved the project's plans.
North Shore will be located on Lake Colchester adjacent to the interchange of Highway 5 and Highway 28 in Norwalk, Iowa.
Primarily a lakeside residential project, North Shore will include some commercial sites along Highway 28 and will feature over 500 lakeside home sites, about 500 townhome units, and a limited number of lake view apartments.
It is estimated that the total taxable value of the project will increase Norwalk's tax base by over $300,000,000.
North Shore will be sold directly to a developer for its improvement of vacant land for sale of developed lots and sites to individuals.
FAQ: Will the North Shore Development be a part of the Lakewood Village Association, Inc.
Answer: Yes, the area has been established and is governed by the LVA Homeowner's (association) Incorporation Documents, By-Laws, and the Covenants for that addition & by the established taxing entity, Lakewood Benefited Recreational Lake District.
