Date modified 5/22/2023
Pom Lake, LLC, a limited liability corporation, owns the portion of the 38 +/- acre body of water on its property herein referred to as “our lake”. Pom Lake wishes to extend an offer of use, with limitations outlined herein as "Pom Lake, LLC Lake use Rules and Regulations", to homeowners and lot owners of Blue Lake Springs Subdivision. It is our desire to work with Blue Lake Springs Homeowner’s Association members and management to extend and enforce our Rules and Regulations for the recreational advantage of all the homeowners and lot owners in regards to lake use and lake access, as well as for the continued enhancement of the natural surroundings. All extension of use stated within this agreement serves only as an offer to the homeowners of Blue Lake Springs and is not suggestive of any future obligation on the part of Pom Lake, LLC and its affiliates. These Rules and Regulations are not meant for negotiation and may, at any time, either individually or in totality, be changed or withdrawn without prior notice. It is our wish to extend some measure of use and access of our lake to the homeowners of Blue Lake Springs in order to create an amicable relationship and continued enjoyment of our natural surrounding while at the same time preserving the beauty of the lake and protecting both the habitat and environment of the lake. Pom Lake, LLC has no affiliation with Blue Lake Springs subdivision, its owners, its Homeowner's Association, nor the developer, Highland Development, LLC, Highland Development, a Mississippi General Partnership, and Neil Burckart; and as such, Pom Lake, LLC is not bound by any covenants or restrictions associated with Blue Lake Springs Subdivision. Any covenants or rules which may apply to Blue Lake Springs Subdivision do not apply to our lake or property. We sincerely hope that this offer is well received so that continued use of our lake can be enjoyed by all homeowners with specific limits as outlined in these Rules and Regulations.
Please note that our property line begins where the property line for individual lots and/or common areas shown on the subdivision plat ends. The property line, as surveyed, does not fluctuate even though water levels do, therefore the water line does not represent the property line. We will not agree to allow anyone to make any changes to the topography, move any land or water that is located on Pom Lake property, place any structure or leave anything on or attached to our property or moored on water on our property or our lake. This includes, but is not limited to docks, boats, boat lifts, floating docks, stairs, boat ramps, and any other type of permanent or temporary structure. We want the residents of Blue Lake Springs to enjoy our lake but will not authorize any changes to the area. Enjoy it, but leave it just as you found it.

Boat – any vessel used for transport by water will be a maximum of 20 feet in length.
Lake use/lake access - use/access will be limited to boating on the water and fishing both by boat and from the bank on lots owned by either Blue Lake Springs Subdivision or individual lot owners therein. No swimming, wading, jumping or diving will be permitted. Boating will be limited to non gasoline propulsion only (if the boat has a gas motor, it may be used for loading and unloading but no gas propulsion while on the lake). Any access of our lake via land owned by Shadow Properties is strictly prohibited.
THIS OFFER FOR A LICENSE TO USE OUR LAKE IS CONDITIONED UPON PRIOR AND PROPER EXECUTION OF A RELEASE OF LIABILITY (found here), INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF DANGEROUS RISKS AND HAZARDS IN A FORM WHICH IS ACCEPTABLE TO POM LAKE, LLC.
