To ensure that your area is sprayed for weeds, please make sure to submit payment by May 20, 2023.
Your return and payment is all you need to continue to authorize spraying of your waterfront area. For members, this is included in your annual dues, for non-members, this is an individual payment.
The LDCA board has moved the April meeting from 04/08/2023 to 04/15/2023 and it will take place at the Territorial Table and Tavern – 9:00am. Goose Egg roundup to help manage the goose and lake bacteria level will take place after the meeting.
In the 1960s, the lake we know of now as Lake Diane was terraformed from the dredging and flooding of lowlands that surrounded two natural lakes. See our History for more. Below is a picture roughly showing what was (according to old maps) and what is now according to the Hillsdale GIS system. Enjoy this mix of history and present.

This information is being brought to you by LDCA but is not in the jurisdiction of LDCA.
Lake Diane Community Residents;
Good Day:
It has come to the attention of the Lake Diane Community Association Board that a notice is circulating regarding rental properties on the lake.
First let me state that the notice is not being circulated in mail boxes by the LDCA Board. We, along with all members present at the annual meeting, were provided the information this past June, but have not reviewed, nor had discussions on the information as a board.
Secondly, any notifications to lake residents for information such as this would be direct mailed to all Lake Diane residents.
Finally, each property has specific deed restrictions for your individual property. We find that most deed restrictions do contain specific language regarding trailer and commercial or rental properties. We suggest that you review your property’s specific deed restrictions to ensure that you are in compliance.
We hope this clears any mis-understanding.
Warm Regards
Jerry Agrusa
LDCA Board President
