I keep reading about all these "seasonal" lots. Would some of our famed experts on seasonal lots please educate us 15 years property owners as to what a seasoanl lot is?

Is a "year round" lot flat; on a bluff; have sandy oil beneath the boat dock; etc.? Can owners of "year round" lots walk to the water? Are year round lots located on on a bluff with a 50 foot drop? Can wealthy people only buy "year round" lots and poor people only buy "seasonal" lots? Are the "seasonal" and "year round" lot owners allowed to socialize with each other? Are elevators required to get from the dock to the house? Are there signs from realators that designate a lot as "seasonal"? Do realators identify "year round" lots to prospective buyers? Who determines the definition fo a "seasonal" versus "year round" lot? What are the price differences between "seasonala" and "year round" lots?

And, while your'e doing that, also educate us as to what a "developer" is. Are developers only interested in selling "seasonal" lots or are they also property owners themselves on Smith Lake? Do developers have famillies; children; and grandchildren who enjoy the water and wish the lake was maintained at reasonable levels year round.I'm assuming from some of the comments that developers never sell "year round" lots.

I'm also assuming that "year round" lot owners are totally satisfied with the magnitude of the water fluctuations on Smith Lake; hate SLISA; are the only people on the lake who are environmentalist; always participate in clean up activities; love the management practices of APC; etc.

Conversely, seasonal property owners only belong to and support SLISA; believe APC could manage water level control in a more responsible manner; throw garbage in the water; like poor water quality; their children do not mind hitting sand bars when the water level is<500 feet; and are generally low income; etc.

As you can see, the concept of seasonal lots by a few on this forum is ridiculous and an attempt to divert attention from the real problems on Smith Lake.
