Lake & Grounds

Lake & Common Ground Guidelines

AUTHORIZED USERS

Use of the lake and surrounding common ground is limited to residents and their guests. Common Ground includes the large designated common areas, the lake itself, and approximately 10 feet of shoreline surrounding the lake. Please enter the lake area via common ground rather than through homeowner properties that border the lake.

*Guests may use the common ground and lake without being accompanied by the homeowner. Please help us preserve the beauty of our community by cleaning up after yourself and asking your guests to do so as well.

PERMITTED ACTIVITIES

*Catch-and-release fishing

Please remove all fishing hooks, lures, lines, and bobbers from the lake, grounds and plants to protect wildlife and
pets. If you happen to find items left by fellow fishers, we would greatly appreciate your help to collect and discard
these items.

PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

Swimming, wading, or skating
Disturbing rocks on the bank of the lake

We have invested in placement of rocks for erosion control. Please inform your children that the rocks have a
purpose and should not be moved. Tossing or removing rocks from the lake edge will result in a $50 fine per
occurrence after one warning.

Interfering with wildlife

Do not chase, harm, or feed any animals, including migratory birds. Such wildlife is a natural occurrence of the lake
environment and enhances the beauty and enjoyment of the lake. If individuals continue to interfere with wildlife
after one warning, fines will be levied.

INSURANCE AND LIABILITY

All people that use the common ground and lake do so at their own risk. This applies to all individuals, authorized or not. Unauthorized users on the grounds and lake will not put our coverage at risk. Keeping our grounds free from obstruction and not being negligent in its care is the key to keeping our liability in check.

Please Note:
Rules are subject to change under trustee oversight. Please report any misuse of the lake or common areas you observe to info@lakeonwhiteroad.org.

Thank you for helping to keep our shared spaces safe, clean, and welcoming. Let’s enjoy the lake and grounds
responsibly!

How to be a good Neighbor

Dog waste: Please pick it up and dispose of it properly. More info about the City of Chesterfield's Code labeled “Dogs, Cats, And Other Animals Creating A Nuisance” HERE.
Yards and Shrubbery: Please keep lawns and shrubbery cut and trimmed. It makes the neighborhood look so much nicer.
Trash around the Lake: Please clean up any trash you create when visiting the lake. If you see trash that has blown in, please pick it up if you can. This is our lake, and we are all responsible for keeping it clean.
Sweet Gum trees- Yes, we know they are a bother. Please, please collect and dispose of the prickly seed balls if they are near your house in the street. DO NOT push them down the gutters in the street.
Street Parking: If possible, please park your vehicle in your driveway rather than on the street. If you do need to park on the street, please be considerate of your neighbors and traffic by avoiding blind spots like curves, leaving enough space for large vehicles, and being mindful of driveways.
Speed limit: Throughout the subdivision, the speed limit is 25 mph. Please make sure you observe the speed limit and keep an eye out for kids playing.
Trashcan policy: The City of Chesterfield requires that Trash containers are stored out of site from the street and be placed for pick-up after 5:00 pm on the day before pickup and returned no later than 11:59 pm on the day of collection. You can find more details about the city's code HERE and pickup days HERE.
Wild Animals: Please be aware that there are owls, hawks, foxes, and Coyotes in the neighborhood, watch over your pets and children.
