LAKE ASHTON COMMUNITY ACTION COMMITTEE By Shelley Miller At a recent Monday Coffee Meeting, several officials from Lake Wales briefed the LA residents about the new residential development at Rt. 27 and Thompson Nursery Road. On October 26 an informational meeting was held at the Clubhouse to address the concerns of the residents of Lake Ashton of the upcoming housing developments and their impact on the community. This meeting resulted in the formation of the LACAC to advocate for changes to ensure the safety and welfare of residents. A steering committee has been charged with getting more data about these future changes and their impact on Lake Ashton. This group feels that proactive dialogue with decision makers is needed now before the plans are finalized, and would like to have residents of Lake Ashton to join in on this endeavor. Residents are encouraged to email ideas, suggestions, and input of any kind (even just a note indicating your support for this ef fort) to LakeAshtonCommunityAction@gmail.com. A community meeting for all residents is planned for January to field concerns, questions, and ask for help in bringing concerns to the attention of those who are decision-makers. Look for the meeting date in the January LA Times. CONSERVATION AREAS The conservation areas adjacent to some homes in Lake Ashton are protected by a permit with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). The clearing or trimming of any trees or vegetation beyond rear property lines is prohibited as these conservation areas lie within LACDD (District) property. The permit identifies the District as the sole manager of these areas, and as such, the District is responsible for maintaining them in their natural state in perpetuity per the permit. These areas were part of the original integral design of the community and cannot be altered from their native state. In addition to ART’S GOLF CARS, INC. The Fun Starts Here!
