THE LAKE
Usage
Whisper Lake is our community's most valuable asset. It is a private lake, meant only for lot owners and residents in good standing (current with their dues) and their guests.
- Use the lake at your own risk! There are no lifeguards.
- To help ensure the lake is used by members only, a Whisper Lake decal should be displayed on your car windshield or golf cart. Decals are available at POA support, our management company. Each numbered decal is assigned to a specific homeowner and is not transferable. Full time renters should obtain a decal from their property owner landlord. Owner landlords may arrange for short term renters to receive a Whisper Lake Guest Pass.
- If not recognized by other residents or security, lake users may be asked to show proof of Whisper Lake ownership.
- Watercraft and/or personal items of any kind should not be left at the Lakefront overnight. Items left will be removed.
- Please do your part to keep the area clean and tidy.
Guest Policy
- Residents cannot invite workmen or friends outside of Whisper Lake to use the Lake “under their name.”
- Guests must either be accompanied by the homeowner or have a current Guest Pass issued by POA Support, our management company.
Watercraft Usage
- A Whisper Lake decal should be displayed on all watercraft.
- With the exception of the company that tests the lake, only small, electric-powered motors or paddles are allowed to propel boats on Whisper Lake.
- No watercraft should be left unattended overnight. If you do not have an allocated storage slot in one of the racks, you must take your watercraft with you when you leave the lake.
Watercraft Holding Racks
- Watercraft permitted to use the Whisper Lake holding racks include paddle boards, canoes, and kayaks.
- Jon boats and paddle boats are not permitted to be stored at the Common Areas of our lake property due to safety concerns.
- Watercraft should be fully secured in their racks for safety concerns, in particular in case of high winds or children climbing on them.
Watercraft Stickers and Rack Rules
- Due to significant growth in our community in recent years, your Board of Directors, working with the Amenities Committee, has approved new processes regarding the registration of watercraft (canoes, kayaks, and Standup Paddle Boards) and rack usage at the Lake.
- Starting in 2023, there will be a new process to obtain watercraft stickers for use on Whisper Lake. Please read and download the Watercraft Registration Application for more information and to secure a registration sticker.
Two classes of Watercraft Stickers for lot owners
- Class A type stickers are required for all watercraft used on Whisper Lake but not stored in the racks located on the lake beach front. These stickers will be free of charge and there is no limit to the number each lot owner can request. Stickers must be visible at all times on watercrafts. These stickers will not have an expiration date.
- Class B type stickers are required for all watercraft stored in any type of rack located near the lake. Each lot owner is allowed one rack space in accordance to the number of owned lots. An annual fee of $25 per rack will be charged at the time of your annual storage application. These stickers must be visible on the watercraft at all times. These stickers must be renewed each year and will have a calendar year printed on them. Watercraft rack fees will be used to ensure our lake common area is both safe and attractive.
Sticker Application Process
- Each year, when your POA assessment is sent out to respective lot owners, an application for watercraft stickers will be included with that billing assessment.
- You will indicate on the application the number of Class A stickersyou need for each of your watercraft. These will be sent out once your assessment is paid in full for that calendar year.
- You will indicate on the application if you would like a Class B sticker to obtain a rack space (s). Everyone who had a rack location in 2022 will be assigned the same rack location for 2023, once your fee for $25 per rack is received with your paid in full annual fee assessments. Owners delinquent on fee payments will lose their 2022 rack location(s) and will be moved to the waiting list for a rack opening. By April 1, 2023, watercraft with Class B stickers will be able to return to their assigned rack spaces.
- Those not assigned a rack location due to limited availability will be placed on a first-come waiting list and will be notified when racks become available.
- Please read and download the Watercraft Registration Application for more information and to secure a registration sticker.
