Get Wet!!!!
Are you ready for Summer? The Lake Committee can hardly
wait to Get Wet! and we'd like to invite our neighbors to come
along. Are you looking for an opportunity for you or your children
to give wake surfing, wakeboarding, skiing, kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding a try? If so,
you're in luck. The Lake Committee is sponsoring three Get Wet! days this summer: June 4, July 2 and Aug 6 from
9am to 12pm. Participants will go out with 2-3 others for an hour with an experienced captain and a coach. There is
no charge for participation, but donations for fuel will gladly be accepted.
All participants will be required to sign a liability release. While captains and coaches will do all within their power to
keep participants safe, watersports have inherent risks of injury or worse.
If you're interested, please send an e-mail with the following information: name, age, weight, height, desired activity,
desired date, experience level, address, email address and phone number to [email protected]. We'll
send you a response within three working days confirming your participation and clarifying your time slot.
Anyone interested in participating as a captain or coach should also send a note to the e-mail address indicated above.

Pond Committee:
In the near future the Pond Committee will be introducing grass carp to the
ponds which have considerable plant growth. It is our intention to keep the
pond plants—or weeds—in check. Hopefully, this will reduce the need for
expensive herbicides and increase the beauty and usefulness of our ponds.
If you would like to join us as we have fun working together, please contact John Hustad at
816-537-4335 or any member of the pond committee.

HISTORICAL
DOCUMENTATION
TAKING PLACE
You may notice members of our Raintree Codes
Department, driving around or on foot, taking
pictures of the neighborhood. They are taking
pictures for a Historical Documentation project for
the neighborhood.
Historical Documentation records benefit residents when making insurance claims after a damaging storm,
as proof of existing items of ARB concern (for instance a flagpole that had been in front of a house for
years, but that our Codes department had not noticed before and wondered if this was a new addition—
historical documentation would show it had been there for years.)
Our Codes Compliance Officer is careful to only take pictures of properties, not the residents—and not of
children!!!
THE VILLA VOICE
JUNE 2—We are going to Powell Gardens for a tour and lunch. If you have not contacted Mary

AUGUST 14—our annual picnic is on Sunday afternoon at the Duck Pond Activity Center. Do
put this date on your calendar---good food, good company and lots of fun. Look for further

October 6—will be a game night at the Duck Pond Activity Center.
November 3—we will meet at Fun House Pizza for a fun evening.
December 2—Friday evening is our Christmas party.

NEW BOAT ON
RAINTREE LAKE???
VERIFICATION PROCESS FOR A BOAT THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ON RAINTREE LAKE
Resident must provide title, registration or bill of sale to verify ownership of watercraft. If you
have not taken a safety test, this will need to be done in the office. If you have never watched
our Raintree Water Patrol video (new residents) then this must also be done. It takes about
15 minutes for video and 30 minutes for the test.
FOR MOTORIZED: Please have your insurance carrier provide us a Policy declaration sheet showing at least $100,000 minimum liability
insurance with Raintree Lake Property Owners Association and the address of 825 SW Raintree Drive, Lee's Summit, MO 64082 listed as
an additional interested party. This allows the insurance carrier to notify the Raintree Lake office when policies are updated or cancelled.
FOR NON-MOTORIZED: Please have your insurance carrier provide us a copy of your Home Owners Insurance policy showing the
policy number and the coverage dates. Our fax number is 816-537-5621 or email to [email protected]
After these items have been submitted to the RLPOA office we will create an application for stickers and a verification form for the Water
Patrol to inspect your watercraft. Please allow 5 business days before setting up an appointment with the Water Patrol to have your boat
verified. (Water Patrol # 816-520-3893 or 816-537-7576.)
PLEASE NOTE: Personal water craft do not need to be verified. Non-motorized boats ie: canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats
and non-towable floating device also do not need to be verified. Motor boats, pontoons, sail boats and any vessel with a trolling
motor would need to be verified.
Once the Water Patrol has verified your watercraft, Water Patrol will turn your paperwork into the office and you will be able to come in
and get your stickers.

Sound Off!
Lees Summit ordinances prohibit allowing household pets to run free. Many
residents with cats are either not aware of the ordinance or choose to ignore it.
At any rate, the cats are left to be out on the loose and they typically use their
neighbors' flower beds for eliminating their waste.
I think this is unfair to those who keep their dogs on a leash and, for the most
part, clean up after them. It is objectionable to the neighbors who find the cat
waste in their flower beds.
——————————————————————Reminder to Raintree residents to please keep grass clippings out of our
streets. Clippings are washed by rain directly into our ponds and lake. It is
very simple to not mow clippings into the street and also easy to blow back into
your yard if necessary. We pay to have our waterscapes and lake dredged so
anything we can do to keep residue out helps.
Rip Rap belongs on our shoreline not in the water. Our association spends
a lot of our dues dollars to maintain our shoreline on the lake and ponds.
Children, parents, and grandparents may enjoy tossing rip rap into the water
but please remember the rocks are on the shore for a purpose and do not
belong in the lake or pond bed.
——————————————————————Boaters: Let’s remember how fortunate we are to have a “speedy” lake.
It would only take one accident to take us down to a “putt-putt” lake. Be
careful this summer out on the lake!!
