It has been brought to my attention the Woodhaven Lakes Board of Directors is considering a special assessment to all lot owners. This assessment has been rumored to be as much as $100 per lot. We, the undersigned property owners of Woodhaven Lakes would like to request in the light of the tornado that ravaged our park on June 22nd all funding for capital improvements with exception of the road improvements are redirected to tornado relief in lieu of a special assessment. We believe the funding for the Nature Center / Bait shop, Pool 2 improvements and restaurant / store improvements (and equipment) can be better utilized for tornado relief funding.

Further, it is our belief that many of our property owners have already suffered financial hardships because of the storm and a special assessment will only create additional hardships. Our property owners have been working with friends, neighbors and complete strangers in order to clean up our properties to minimize further hardships and feel a special assessment negates the work we have done. Any additional funding requested at this time from the board could result in negative consequences to the entire membership including more abandoned lots, additional properties for sale or deeds handed over which affects future dues to ALL property members.

We are not requesting any funding stoppage for any of the ongoing activities or operations of Woodhaven Lakes, only those improvements that are not necessary to maintain services at the current level for the remainder of the 2015 and 2016 camping seasons.

While we understand the desire for constant improvement, we also believe the needs of our community have changed due to this catastrophe.

Respectfully Submitted.

By signing this petition I certify that I am the property owner of record at the below listed section and lot.

PLEASE ADD YOUR SECTION AND LOT TO THE COMMENTS SO WE CAN SHOW THE BOARD WE ARE ALL PROPERTY OWNERS!

While it may not be set in stone, I do feel that postponing any non critical improvements is a wise decision in light of what will be an exorbitant cost of the Tornado cleanup. If it's not urgent, then it will not hurt to postpone it one year.

Woodhaven campers since 1971. We own 4 lots. We do not support a special assessment fee. Money for the bait shop improvements need to be reallocated for "needs" not "wants". In addition, priority should be to clean the lakes. Lake maintenance appears to be neglected and an embarassment.

Please do not do this! We didn't have insurance on our property and we're still trying to figure out how to pay for damages. It would be an insult to injury to hurt property owners this way

If owners are responsible for their lot clean up with no assistance from association then there should be no reason for special assessment. We really don't need a 700,000 bait shop to sell WORMS.

there is a large amount of money set aside for bait shop, nature center, pool renovations, etc. I don't believe that Woodhaven residents can afford an additional assessment as well as pay for tree removal and rebuilding. Now is not the time for this... Lot 239 section 26

Absolutely no assessment. Stop all bait shop, pool, and any other improvements until this bill is paid. I can not afford any more expenses here. This has cost me what little savings I had and I am not done yet. Next will be to put up for sale. I love woodhaven please do not force me out.
