The Lake Harmony Estates (LHE) Board of Directors voted to allow golf carts to be utilized throughout the community beginning on July 1st, 2018 to reduce automobile traffic and to allow homeowners to use the golf carts to easily park at the LHE beach area located at Wood St. and South Lake Drive. This notice is to remind the community that they must abide by the rules set forth by Kidder Township and the State of Pennsylvania (as outlined in Pa. Senate Bill 785). No golf carts are allowed to travel on South Lake Drive, they are only allowed to cross at a 90* angle to enter the LHE beach area located at Wood St. and South Lake Drive. They can only travel on public roads for resort maintenance. Pa. Senate Bill 785 states: (14) Any vehicle used for golf course [or] maintenance,resort maintenance or college, university or seminary campusmaintenance when such vehicle does not travel on public roads in excess of one mile and the property on both sides of the public road is owned by said golf course [or], resort or college, university or seminary.
