  • Parcel G – Little Pond


    LITTLE LAKE aka SMALL  POND aka UPPER POND aka
    SILVER  SPRINGS  SILVER  WILLOW  POND
    2011-small pond 5.24 acres
    This pond is 5.24 acres in size.  Water Storage Capacity: 25 acre ft.
    This Private Pond’s perimeter easement land, belongs to Southshore.
    The water that fills it belongs to Mountain Regional Water Co.


    SILVER WILLOW POND aka Upper Pond aka Little Lake aka Parcel G aka Duck Pond aka PP-98-A-6  ~ Situated in the center of SouthShore subdivision.  This retention pond is a private amenity owned by Southshore subdivision for water front property owners located contiguous to its perimeter. The 1989 Barnes Exclusive “Private Enjoyment Easement” grants the perimeter of this pond/lake to the SouthShore lake view property owners lots 1-22;  the six SS Little Lake properties  (Lots 23, 24, 25, etc. on map below) are not included in the 1989 agreement.  There is no access provided to the Enjoyment Easement, it is accessible only by contiguous property owners.  Lots 1-11 in NorthShore, as lake view property owners are included in Barnes’ 1989 agreement on the large pond/lake. Essentially the properties/subdivisions originally owned and developed by Barnes and Widdows beginning in 1989 around the ponds in Silver Springs are the properties having exclusive access to the Private Exclusive Enjoyment Easements.  See maps below red line indicates private enjoyment easement.


    Silver Springs Water Company sold their water rights in this pond to Mountain Regional Water around 1990.  These water rights maintain the pond capacity and flow. When Mountain Regional transferred the Lakes/ponds land, liability, and maintenance costs to the SSMA in 2004 they retained the water rights. The Silver Springs Master Association owns the ground under the water yet is expected to maintain the water quality and safety.

    1991 to present – for their own purposes some lake view owners in SSSF and Park Place closed access for the HOA property owners to the easement contiguous to their property line.
    Big lake shore access was reduced to 444′ linear feet along the community park plus the undeveloped west shore.

    Silver Willow Pond is surrounded by a 1989 Private Enjoyment Easement Agreement. The easement was recorded on the 1991 SouthShore subdivision plat map.  This Agreement grants access and use of the perimeter of either lake only to the 22  SouthShore small lake view lot owners and 11 NorthShore large lake view owners. The 11 SSSF lake view owners are not included in the 1989 Easement Agreement nor are the six SS Little Lake properties along Silver Springs Drive.   Silver Willow Lake Enjoyment Easement perimeter was originally intended for ALL Silver Springs Community property owners to have access and use.  However, some lake view owners have encroached on these rights over the years.  From 1990 to the present, the Park beach area has been the only access to the Silver Willow Lake and Pond usable by ALL Silver Springs Community property owners yet the cost of maintenance, insurance, management, taxes, repairs are assessed to all Silver Springs Community property owners without their consent because they have been disenfranchised from voting on these assessments and special assessments.

    March 2008 – View from Pocket Park parcel to Exclusive Private Enjoyment Easement & Pond
    The 69.62′ X 9.99′ Pocket Park is located as part of the 1989 “Exclusive Private Enjoyment Easement” as an Open Space. The Lloyd Pocket Park is located along Silver Springs Road, recorded as a SouthShore subdivision property not a Master Association common area parcel. In either case this Park does not provide legal access to this Pond by all the Master Association property owners.  Only those property owners with lots contiguous to the Exclusive Private Enjoyment Easement and Upper Pond (Silver Willow Pond) have legal access to this pond and easement.2010- December 10 Lakes Enjoyment Easement – At this SSMA meeting Bill Noland announced that the attorney’s he hired to research the Silver Springs documents have found that the 1989 Enjoyment Easement Agreement around the Little Lake runs with the land and is a valid Agreement from the developer to the SouthShore purchasers of the lake front properties and their successors for the use and access of the perimeter of the lake. The six Little Lake homes located on the east border of the Little Lake along Silver Springs Drive, and annexed in 1997 as part of the SSSF subdivision, are not included in this Agreement as these six lots were not part of the (Mike Barnes) developer’s property. View at: https://www.silverspringscommunity.com/our-community/silver-springs-sf/little-lake-at-silver-springs/  The same situation exists for the Large Lake in that the 7 or 8 homes along the east border of the lake and the Lake Front Court 4 houses, are part of Silver Springs Single Family since the beginning in 1980 and were never part of the developer’s (Barnes’) Enjoyment Easement Agreement.  Therefore the 1989 Agreement does not guarantee exclusive use and access to lake front properties SLS-E Lots 192-199 and SSSF Lots 46-49.  Click here to view SSSF lot map.
    Does this mean there is NOT access to all the ponds/lakes and easements to all SSMA Members along these Private Enjoyment Easements? If the Easements are Private and Exclusive why does the SSMA bill ALL 504 SSMA members for maintenance, repair, insurance, taxes, and management of properties owned by SouthShore and/or private owners?  The MA board and Noland would not answer Lucy Archer’s question.  SSSF lake view lot owners  (Fuller -Lot 193, Hedges -Lot 194, Carriel -Lot 195 , Robinson -Lot 196) not within the 1989 Private Exclusive Easement petitioned the board in Fall 2010 to allow them to purchase the easements from the Master Association. The request was tabled until further information was confirmed.Account 0216543 Viewing Doc Quit Claim Deed  Entry No. 00362047  Bk 672 Pg 88
