FACCA is a 14 homeowner, incorporated, non-profit association. Common lake lot and dock costs are equally divided amongst the residents, whether you choose to dock a boat or not. Each home comes with a deeded slip, (but not an actual slip assignment). Boat slips will be assigned as per association policy.
Watercraft must be registered and titled in the association homeowner's name and address - no exceptions. Boat slips may not be sub-leased to anyone, on any terms, except association members for non-monetary consideration. Boat Slip dimensions are 29'x11'-this is non-negotiable - as per license with the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District.
Only one watercraft may be docked in each slip for a maximum of 14 total at the docks. Swim platforms and bow pulpits must fit inside the dock dimensions. You may elect to add a temporary boathouse or boatlift, at your own expense. All boathouse canopies must be forest green. No additional watercraft or water toys may be stored on the beach. There is a canoe rack. While homeowners are allowed to rent their properties, only homeowners may use the common lake lot and docks.
Forest Arms Country Club Association is a non-profit incorporated association of 14 homeowners on Forest Lake Bay in Orono, Minnesota. The association is self-governed through Governing Documents. Articles of Incorporation. Rules & Regulations, and a five person Board of Directors.
The Association consists of two adjoining lake lots and a community dock with 14 slips. A 1/14 portion of the land is deeded to each home. The land is allocated for recreational use only. It can never be divided, sold, or developed in any way. While homeowners are allowed to rent their property, only homeowners are allowed to use the association's
lake lot, beach, and docks.
Dock slips are 10' wide by 30' long. Boats cannot exceed 30 feet, per LMCD permit regulations. Swim platforms and bow pulpits must fit inside the dock dimensions. The dock slips are assigned, and homeowners are not guaranteed the same slip location each year. Watercraft must be registered to the homeowners address within the association.
Boat slips may not be sublet to anyone, on any terms, except to another association member for non-monetary value. No additional watercraft or water toys may be stored on the waterfront. Homeowners may elect to purchase a boatlift or boathouse, which must be installed and removed through a contracted service managed by the association's Dock Master.
All related expenses for boat lifts, boathouses, and canopies are at the individual homeowner's expense. Boathouse canopies must be forest green in color. FACCA land, beach, and docks are private property. Homeowners are responsible for the actions of their family and their guests.
Homeowners are assessed twice yearly (usually Spring and Fall) for all association expenses. Annual dues pay for an insurance policy, lawn maintenance services, signage, dock install and removal, and operating costs. In addition, association members vote annually for maintenance and replacement of items deemed appropriate, legal fees, and miscellaneous upgrades. Dues are divided equally between all homeowners, whether you choose to dock a boat or nat. For example, annual dues for 2022 were $800 plus a special assessment.
