Cottages at the CCCOA are not rental units but can be bought.

No owner can rent cottages to anyone at anytime. The By-Laws of the CCCOA do let Post rent the cottage they own to members of their own post. They may not rent them to anyone who is not a member of the American Legion Post in good standing. If found to be in violation of this rule a Post or a member of the CCCOA would be in violation of the by-laws and could have their lease revoked and their membership in the CCCOA canceled.

If you are trying to add your kids while you are still alive then that requires a full new lease with all information and birth certificates. However if you are just trying to make sure your kids get the cottage after your death, make sure you have them in your will or living trust. Make sure they all have copies of their birth certificates and your marriage license so that when the time comes the CCCOA will be able to prove they are your kids or if they are legally your children by some other court order.

NO do not do a full transfer. Just fill out the paperwork for disassociation and have the person who is wanting off the lease sign it and have it notarized. After the paperwork is completed mail it to the CCCOA with out any money as this is not a cost item. Understand that once a person is off the lease they can not be added back on the lease, even if the primary person on the lease wants them added back on.

Yes a cottage can be transferred to a trust if the trust is in the name of the veteran, and you file all the paperwork with the CCCOA. Paperwork is the forms section of this web site. You will do all the paperwork as if you are transferring the cottage.

A spouse of the veteran can inherit a cottage. The key word is that it is the spouse of the veteran whose name is on the cottage.

Your question is a tax question and not something the CCCOA has any control over. I suggest your question can best be answered by the township. It should be noted that you should have been on the lease if you were a co-owner. Also if you have not updated your paperwork with the CCCOA you should do so at once.

This question should be answered by an Attorney at Law.

This By-Law was voted on and changed at the 2009 July meeting. The reason was because the CCCOA did not want to have problems if you had to file a claim with your insurance. We were also told that some people were having problems getting insurance because the CCCOA was required to be on the policy and some insurance companies refused to issue it that way. Also this causes over 405 more letters to sent to the CCCOA PO Box. Thank You for taking the time to read the information posted on the web page.

The form you are looking for is available from the President Of the CCCOA. Are you trying to be added to the lease or have a new lease issued without your mother on it? Are you able to prove you are the lineal decedent of the veteran who bought the cottage? You will be asked to submit a copy of your birth certificate. And you must submit all paperwork with the $150.00 transfer fee.

As of 2013 this issue has been addressed in a new rule you may park a RV or Motor home on the grounds of the CCCOA for no longer then 48 hours at a time and only 2 times per calendar year. However no one can stay in them.

The cottage owner who wishes to have a tree removed should contact a board member for a permit. A permit will be issued only if the tree is dead, in the way of construction additions or causing damage to the foundation of the cottage. Tree trimming does not require a permit from a board member.

All of the beach at the CCCOA is open to ALL members of the CCCOA. These are not public beaches and we do recommend that you primarily use the beach in the assigned dock area you have.

No owner can rent cottages to anyone at anytime. The By-Laws of the CCCOA do let Post rent the cottage they own to members of their own post. They may not rent them to anyone who is not a member of the American Legion Post in good standing. If found to be in violation of this rule a Post or a member of the CCCOA would be in violation of the by-laws and could have their lease revoked and their membership in the CCCOA canceled.

If you are the person asking for the permit you may get some phone calls asking you for more information. But in the end when the permit is approved you will get a copy of the approval that must be posted in the window at the cottage for all to see that you do have a permit. If you see someone building something and no permit is in the window please call a board member so we can advise them of the procedure to get permits. Permits must be obtained for removable bricks placed in the ground also.

A construction permit for a roof is not required by the CCCOA but you should contact the township of Lyon to make sure they do not require a permit.

No as long as they are the same size. The township will require a permit if the window size is changing but the CCCOA will not require a permit for windows at all.

Rod Ballard is the Land Use Committee Chair 989-835-3984. It should be noted that building permits take some time to be granted so if you are thinking about adding on to your cottage or putting up a shed, give the building committee 2 to 3 months time to approve the permit.
