Lakeshore Drive Traffic Restriction

Starting June 26

As part of our Pump Station and Bridge Repair project, Lakeshore Drive traffic is "restricted" to one lane in each direction, Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 3:30 PM. The restriction will begin Wednesday, June 26 and should be in effect until July 31. Lakeshore is already one lane in each direction, but traffic will be slowed for the construction crew working in the Pump Station in the median. Please beware of the construction and moderate your speed in the area as you drive past. Thank you.

Thank you also for your patience and understanding while we maneuver through this big project. Read my Manager's Report for further information.

LCA Updating Homeowner Information

Lakes Residents,

The LCA Office is in the process of updating all Homeowner information in our system and we need your help. An "Owner Information Update" form will be mailed to you with your quarterly LCA statement. Please fill out the form completely and return it to the LCA Office or email your updated information to tabie@thelakesoftempe.com.

Please note, all expired Annual Memberships and expired Long-Term Rentals need to be updated before September 1, 2024 or they will be removed from the system and will not have access to the Clubhouse.

Frequently asked questions

Must I complete the Owner Information Update form even if nothing has changed?
Yes. This form includes phone numbers, email addresses, emergency contacts, and alternate mailing addresses and can sometimes be the only method the LCA has of communicating with a homeowner in emergency situations such as weather, traffic, or other information important to the Lakes Community. Complete and accurate Homeowner information is important to the LCA.
What is an Annual Membership?
An Annual Member is a family member or partner 19 years of age or older who lives with the owner but is not on the deed. Annual Member paperwork must be updated every 2 years whether there is a change or not. There is no charge for Annual Members.
How do I know if my paperwork has expired for Annual Member or Long-Term Rental?
Your Lakes quarterly statement lists your expiration date in the top right corner. If your Annual or Long-Term Rental paperwork has not changed and has not expired, do not complete the forms.
How can I update Annual and Tenant paperwork?
Pick up the forms at the Lakes Office, request the forms by email from tabie@thelakesoftempe.com, or visit the Lakes website, www.thelakesoftempe.com/docdownload.htm
How much is a Tenant Registration fee?
Tenant registration fee is $25 for new tenants. Current tenants need not pay the tenant registration fee again if it has already been paid, but they do need to update paperwork every two years.
What is the best way to pay quarterly assessments?
Sign up for Lakes Surepay. Request a Surepay form from the LCA office or email Tabie.

If your paperwork is not expired, please do not send updated Tenant or Annual Member forms.

Thank you for your help.
