hello
anyone out there who does not have a place on pleasure point should stop with the crazy talk , i purchased last year a place on the lake and yes my land is leased from pleasure point marina , we spent around $ 80,000 last year making it a place that we are proud of , we made the purchase because i have worked like most of the residents in the park for over 20 years 7 days a week and i just wanted a place that i could go a few times a year and spend time with my family and relax a little , i have never known of a sewer problem at the park until now , there are 2 sections of homes that have 4-5 small homes on one septic system which is not good , but for the rest of us liviing in the park we have never seen a problem , the pleasure point owner who leases the property from apco gets about $ 350,000 a year in lot fee,s and only pays $ 60,000 lease payment for the whole park a year to APCO which means the owner who charges us $ 345.00 each month for a little spot in some cases will not even fix a pipe , cut the grass , fix the streets , cut the tree's or basically anything to make the park better with the $ 290,000 dollars profit she earns from the lot leases , and by the way the 85 sheds she rents for $ 65.00 per month is also pure profit , this place is mismanaged and nothing else , the residents clean the yards cut the grass build docks invest thousands of dollars in something the can call home , we all pay about the same as most people on the lake for 1 or 2 acres directly from apco . please do not spread rumors of septic filling up the lake from plesure point because it is simply not true , we have a problem with the current park owner and nothing else , the park could be brought up to code and re done with little or no problems , the park needs to offer sites for week end campers that bring money into the community , the park needs to offer rental boats and maybe a better image which is easy to do with the proper help and orginization , the currentowner has ran the park into where it is now by pulling every single dollar out of the park ...
i will not let my $ 80,000 i just invested in the lake house just fade away , there are people who all own all of there homes outright , you make judgement on the renters there but there are no different than the person across the lake who ownes a $ 700,000 home on leased land or should i say the bank owns , almost every one in pleasure point owns there houses or trailers out right and they paid 10 times the true value for the camper/trailer/home because of the view and for nothing else , if there is a problem with the pleasure point area well as a community it can be fixed together ,by taking the funds from the escrow account within 2 years the park could have a 100% turn around , but this will enver happen as long as a person who has been running it for over 20 years remains the personn in charge . like all business that fail , change the management with new blood and see if the company does not grow , keep the same oold same old and watch any company fall by the waistside , its tiem for apco let some one else run the park and build a better future for the lake and the community , it can be done ....
i first logged on to this site today and i am shocked at the heartless statements of people who live in the house that the bank owns and they look down on people who has taken there whole life savings and purchased a over priced trailer on a buitifull lake and there only crime is they pay way to much and get nothing in return ,
the lake martin community should come together to support the pleasure point residents because they could be you if alabama power one needs your land , and apco uses a clause in a lease that states they do not have to renew the lease to you because of inverimental reason which cannot be prooven yet ...
again understand these residents are no illigal alians they are you parents , aunts , uncles , brother , sister , kids who just want to enjoy life as you do - they pay there rent just like you do - they pay there taxes just like you do - well hell they are you .
