In 2017, the Lochmere Board of Directors determined that a strategic plan for the Lochmere Community is beneficial to ensure continuation of high quality management of the Association for current and future residents.

Strategic plans contribute to long-term stability and include a vision of where and what we want to be in the future. Planning maximizes use of resources and coordinates the efforts of our management and committees, with clear responsibilities and measurable outcomes.

Board Member Cecelia Davidson headed up this project by surveying active Lochmere committees and local realtors for input to this planning effort. Our objective was to select and agree on common strategies, goals and priorities, and direct our resources appropriately.

As you will no doubt see, a lot of work actually goes into managing our Association, by the Board, management company, committees, volunteers, and its contractors.

Lochmere's Master Covenants were established in 1984, creating the community association along with the specific financial, maintenance and enforcement procedures that each homeowner must follow (deed restrictions); roles and responsibilities of the Association board members, committees and property manager; and rules for Lochmere common area usage and maintenance.   These same covenants describe the mandatory assessments to ensure that our neighborhoods conform to a standard of value, beauty and friendliness that typifies life in Lochmere. 

Key sections of the Master Covenants include Common Area Ownership and Maintenance, Land Use, Architectural Control, Membership and Voting Rights, Assessments, Easements, Annexation of Additional Properties, and General Provisions.  Amendments to the covenants require 90% vote of approval from association members.  If you feel that a covenant is being violated, please report it to your This email address is being protected from spambots.
