Conclusion

The Board of Directors recognizes that unique circumstances may require variance of rules stated herein, specifically since it is hoped that the Lansbrook Lakefront Park will become a vibrant and much used facility as the Lansbrook community grows. Please direct requests for such variances, or just suggestions for improvement of the Park facility and its usage, in writing, to: President, Lansbrook Master Association, Inc. All such requests shall be considered but decisions shall be deemed final for each specific variance request made. Under no circumstances shall the grant or denial of a variance be considered as precedent setting, since each such request shall be judged on its own merits.
