Board Work Session Tuesday
A Board work session is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday (January 17) in the Club Tamarack Recreation Room. The work session information packet (22 pages) is available on the official Bent Tree website. Several proposed amendments to the Rules & Regs are included.
One of the topics to be discussed is “Revision of square footage requirements for homes”. Here are some of my thoughts:
- Yesterday, on a NextDoor social media site, someone stated “The minimum square footage requirement was raised by the BT Board…”.
- Actually, the minimum square footage requirement was raised by a 2004 amendment to the BTCI CC&Rs. Amendments require not only the declarant’s approval, but approval by the required number of property owner votes.
- The same person also wrote “It came to light during the orientation sessions that this change could be voted on by the board.”
- Actually, the board could vote to send it out as a proposed amendment to the CC&Rs. It would then be up to the property owners to decide whether or not to make that change.
I did email my thoughts on the subject to the board members.

50 Years Ago This Month
On October 30, 1969 the Pickens County Progress had a front page article announcing the plans for the development of Bent Tree. The first line of the article began “Last Thursday night at the Lions Club meeting personnel from Spratlin Associates, Inc., of Atlanta revealed for the first time publicly the projected plans for a multi-million dollar investment in Pickens County…”.

June 17, 2019 – view of Lake Tamarack from the dam
New signs, reflecting the amended Lake & Wildlife Rules approved by the Board last September, are now in place around Lake Tamarack. The lake was restocked last month with 10,000 small bream as a food supply for the bass (which were reported to be overpopulated and undersized).
