Neighbors,<\/p>\n
A heartfelt hello to our neighbors,<\/p>\n
I must start this conversation with immense gratitude and appreciation to all our neighbors on Six Mile Lake.
\nTo be surrounded by good neighbors gives each of us a sense of safety and security. Not only do we look after each other but we extend this to each other’s children, grandchildren, other family members and friends who visit us through-out the year.
\nIn today’s world, you just can’t say enough about a community that looks out for each other. We are blessed.<\/p>\n
From time to time, SMLA will receive comments and\/or concerns from individuals about a variety of subjects that have annoyed them. We try to help where it is possible.
\nSometimes all an individual can do is speak to their neighbor about their concerns and hope the neighbor will respect these concerns and change the concerning behavior.
\nUnfortunately, that is not always the outcome.
\nNothing worse than a neighbor who irritates you, until you have no recourse but selling the home you have enjoyed for many years.
\nOr worse, a conflict with a neighbor that harbors ill will. We all want good relations with our neighbors.<\/p>\n
SMLA decided we would put a list together of neighbor annoyances. We will start the list.
\nHere’s what I need you too do.<\/p>\n
1-<\/strong> Tell us the things your neighbors do that annoy you. (This doesn’t only mean the one next to you, it could be across the lake from you or down the road). Rules:<\/strong> Here’s the annoyance list we have so far:<\/p>\n Feeding the wildlife<\/strong>, geese, ducks, swans, etc. Understand, when they come in your yard for food, they travel to your neighbors yard. They leave packages behind. Just what your neighbor wants to step in on their way to their dock. Not to mention large flocks will deposit waste in the neighbors swimming area. A couple of links
\n2-<\/strong> If you wish to remain anonymous you can send it to me (Vicky) and I’ll put it on the SMLA website. I will respect your privacy. My email will be at the bottom of the website. No names will be given out. Or you can start a discussion if you prefer to give your name. We\u2019re only going to print general behaviors. Please read the rules carefully and understand the consequences if you attack the neighbor and not the behavior.<\/p>\n
\nNo swearing or vulgarity allowed.
\nNo names will be mentioned. This not about the person, we’ll only list the behavior.
\nDon’t be mean. Don’t make it personal. Remember, you hope to change the behavior, not annoy the neighbor. Now you’ll both be annoyed.<\/p>\n
