The Lake Tyee Recreational Community is over 520 acres and has 886 individual lots.
We are one of Washington's largest ownership RV Communities. Our Community is nestled in the North Cascade Range
foothills, four miles north of Concrete, Washington. The level of our 55-acre lake is approximately 900 feet above
sea level, and is in the lowest section of a basin, which is surrounded on the northeast and south by slopes cresting 200
to 250 feet above the lake.
The
majority of our individual deeded sites are circles of either 50' or 60' in diameter. There are also a number of rectangle
size lots of different sizes as well as some pie-shaped lots.
We are also
located in the forestry zone of Skagit County and are permitted under a planned unit recreational development. Lot Owners,
their families and guests, may use the facilities and common property. Your individual lot may be used for vacation
and recreational camping purposes only for a period not to exceed 210 days a year. No year-round residency or residential
buildings are allowed in our Community. You may NOT build a home or a cabin on your lot, and you cannot subdivide your
lot. However, there are permissible improvements that you may make to your lot. These improvements are outlined
in the Amended Restrictions and Declarations. In addition, the Lake Tyee Board of Directors has established rules and
regulations for the use of the clubhouse, pools and other amenities to ensure individual rights and enjoyment.
The
Property Owner's Association was incorporated in 1974. It has been operating and active since its inception. When
you purchase a lot in the Lake Tyee Community, you will become a voting member and are subject to the dues, charges and assessments
levied by the Association. Their purpose is to maintain common areas, enforce restrictions and covenants, collect charges
and assessments and pay taxes and expenses for the operation of Lake Tyee.
WATER: Our Community is served by a
central water system, which is owned by Lake Tyee. The water system is complete and is constructed to Washington State
specificatiions from state approved plans. Water is available along the roads in all divisions and an underground connection
is brought out for each lot. There is no charge for connecting to the water system. The water quality is checked
monthly by Lake Tyee and the Skagit County Health Department. The system has a 120,000 gallon storage capacity (2 tanks)
with a 175 gallon per minute pumping capacity.
SEPTIC: Lake Tyee uses both individual and community septic
systems. Maintenance will be handled by Lake Tyee's annual dues except that in the case of owner-caused damages,
maintenance costs may be prorated by the users. Owner-caused damages generally consist of plugged lines, which can be
repaired at an estimated cost of $100-$150.
There are also 16 comfort stations
(Toilet and Shower facilities) and one laundry facility. Maintenance of these facilities are paid for by your dues and
serviced by Lake Tyee.
ELECTRICITY: Electricity is our primary power source. The electrical system is
a community system. Energy is supplied by Puget Sound Power and Light and is available at the power head between your
lot and the access road. There is no charge for hook-ups. You will be billed by Lake Tyee for the amount of electricity
that you use plus each lot owners share of the Community Power (the power used in our facilities and the common propertys
of our Community). The system is not designed to provide electric power for heating. You are required to use propane.
TAXES: As an owner of Real Estate, you
will be billed for property taxes based on the assessed value of your property. This amount will vary depending on location
and the amount of improvements you have made to your lot.
ENTRY AND ROADS: We are a gated community.
A gate entry card is rquired for entry. Two cards are provided when you purchase a lot. Additional cards are available
for a charge.
We have physical access by automobile to all lots by a private
road system. Our roads are not paved. All roads have a 10-12 foot wearing width. The main stem road is a
two-lane road. All secondary roads are one-lane roads consisting of 15 foot rights-of-way. Maintenance is provided
by Lake Tyee and is paid for from annual dues. Year-round access is available, however, some lots may be restricted
in Winter months due to a combination of the snow depth and grade, which may make passage difficult or impossible.
