Bylaw survey questionnaire.

Please give us your opinions.

At last summer’s general meeting in June, there was an active discussion among the attendees about the use of kids’ low-powered electric cars (called Ride Ons), electric bicycles, and similar non-registered vehicles being used on our community roads, and whether or not they are a safety risk for kids. Because our current bylaws prohibit those types of vehicles, one part of the discussion centered on whether they should continue to be prohibited or the bylaw rules need to be updated to be less restrictive and more in line with how people are using modern types of vehicles. (You can read about the discussion in the recent newsletter.)

As a result, board President Juli Schaefer tasked bylaw-committee volunteers with reviewing the below bylaw, determining if it needed to be revised, and presenting an update, if necessary, at the next general membership meeting.

To present a revised bylaw, we’d like your input on the following questions.
Please fill in the form below and press “Submit” at the bottom. Thank you!

The bylaw being reviewed: Bylaw V Rules and Regulations (Section IV, item h)

“Motor vehicles, as defined by the Vehicle and Traffic Law of the State of New York, may not be operated on LLPOA roads unless the driver possesses a valid government-issued operator's license and the vehicle is registered with a State Department of Motor Vehicles or by the United States government, and is insured. An exception is when the vehicle is being delivered to or removed from a property. Recreational vehicles, whether gas- or electric-powered, registered or unregistered, may not be used on LLPOA property. This includes, but is not limited to, ATVs, snowmobiles, and unlicensed motorcycles and motorized scooters.”

Note: Be assured that any proposed changes to the bylaws by the committee will stipulate that any vehicle used in Lake Lucille, regardless of type, must be driven below the existing speed limit of 8 mph and in a manner that’s safe and courteous, without annoying neighbors, creating excessive noise, or damaging our roads.

All bylaw changes require approval by two-thirds of the membership.
