Let’s say you want to put up a fence. In our community, we have guidelines (formal Covenants & Restrictions and By-Laws) that control the details of the project. Like any project you want to build, you would need to put your ideas for your new fence down on paper. Maybe you would find a fence you like and take a picture or two to show what you hope to build. This would be your package that you would want to present to the Architectural Committee. They have been formed by our Board Members to help you navigate the guidelines so it’s their function to help make sure your project meets all the necessary details of our Community.

Below, the following form was created. This form is intended to be filled out by the Architectural Committee for all projects and is shown here so that you know the process that the committee uses to access your project. You can use it really as a guideline in your planning and to help you with your informal presentation to a Architectural Committee member, so he can sign off on it, before you start construction.

• THEY MUST KEEP AND BRING IN THE FIRST THREE FISH CAUGHT.
• THEY MUST LIVE IN LAKE OF THE WOODS OR BE ACCOMPANIED BY A RELATIVE OR FRIEND WHO LIVES IN LAKE OF THE WOODS.

Note: According to Washington Dept. Of Fish and Wildlife all fishermen – age 15 and older – must have a fresh water fishing license.  This applies to anyone fishing on our lake, despite the fact that it is a private lake and we purchase the fish. While the licenses are required by the State, we lack resources to check for compliance
