Aquatic Life:

 

As the cost of spraying continues to increase, Roger and Jim are meeting with a company whom has solicited their services to Lake Diane. They will meet Monday, then receive a take-off estimate from a map of the lake. 

 

Scott has received calls from the DEQ regarding the adjustment that was made to the lake levels. The DEQ stated that they have received complaints.  Scott is/has submitted all Hillsdale County Drain Commission documentation, photos.  The DEQ was mistaken in their understanding of the amount the lake was adjusted.  They understood it to be three feet, when in fact it is three inches, and water continues to flow over the dam.

 

There were two beavers trapped and removed from the channel between Yoders and Kays.

 

Building:

 

Scott Preston still has not been able to attain a permit to construct a storage barn on his off-lot. The county refuses to grant a permit based on the fact that their home lot and off-lot are in two separate subdivisions.

Scott will be attending a pre-application meeting with the DNR for the dredging project within the next couple of months.

 

Parks:

 

The rocks that are needed to further secure the shoreline at the shelter house have been delivered.

Welcome Committee:  

 

Nothing new to report.

 

Lake Diane Schedule of Events:

 

The Toys for Tots Breakfast with Santa Event is scheduled as planned. This year the event will be held at Shore Side Plaza as a means to increase visibility.

 

Kim Byrne is promoting sales of Lake Diane Sprit Wear. Please refer to lakediane.org for the order form.

 

Old Business:

 

There were five cases filed to small claims court for non-payment of dues. Of the five cases filed, two defendants have chosen to move their case(s) to district court, one defendant paid, one defendant signed an affidavit with a promise to pay, and one defendant is deceased.  Jerry will follow-up with the deceased defendants widow to pursue collection.

New Business:

 

Jody Yoder and John Kay were in attendance to address the situation with the beavers building dens on the park lot near their properties. They have initiated a resolution to the problem, and came to the board for approval.  “Wall Hangers” of Reading Michigan will assess the beaver den, then monitor and trap the beavers for a fee of $150.00.  After discussion, Kim Byrne made a motion to approve funds for removal of the beavers on the park lot.  Jim Watt seconded the motion.  A vote was taken, and the motion passed unanimously.

 

Terry Rupp proposed adding larger rocks to stabilize the shoreline in the spring at an estimate of $800. Jim indicated that funds are available in the park budget.  The board agreed to purchase the rocks now, then encourage volunteers to participate in placement in the spring.

 

Jim Watt presented a letter from the association insurance carrier requesting that there be “ground protection” placed under the large slide and swings at the shelter house park. It was decided that a uniform four inches of sand be placed in said area.

 

 

At 10:59AM, Al made a motion that the meeting be adjourned.   Jim seconded the motion.  A vote was taken, and the meeting adjourned.

Treasurers Report:

 

Jim Watt, Treasurer presented the Treasurer’s Report. The report was approved as written. 

 

Aquatic Life:

 

The lily pads have been treated, and the treatment has been effective.

 

The island on the north end of the lake has gone below the water’s surface. It appears to have broken up, with smaller pieces floating to shore.  The island at the south end of the lake resurfaced, as well.

 

Building:

 

The Rodgers have retained an attorney, and plan to fight the lawsuit filed against them regarding the use/long term placement of their travel trailers. They are claiming that the statute of limitations has expired.

 

Al spoke with the county building authority regarding the potential for Scott Preston to construct a storage barn on his lot adjacent to his home. The county has denied the building permit as the two lots are in different subdivisions.

 

 

 

Dredging:

 

The county drain commission gave permission to raise the lake level by approximately four inches. There is a potential that by raising the water level, there could be less of a need to dredge.

 

Scott has talked to the DEQ about dredging policies and procedures. There will be at a minimum three permits required.  Scott is hoping to get a permit that will be in effect for five years.  Dredging will only be permissible in the fall due to fish and wildlife habitat.

 

Bob Christ suggested that Scott document all time and travel for submission to the board for reimbursement. Roger indicated that while there are costs associated with volunteer hours, the board has passed a resolution forbidding reimbursement for time or travel.

 

Parks:

 

The Wine Crawl Committee has purchased the replacement infant swing for the swing set.

 

Welcome Committee:  

 

The November meeting will be rescheduled for November 19.

 

Toys for Tots Breakfast with Santa plans are proceeding. This year’s event will be held at Shore Side Plaza.

 

Old Business:

 

Letters went out October 12th to “the top five” past due account holders.  The total of the five accounts is just under $10,000.  There is a court date set for November 14th.

 

New Business:

 

Rebecca Finnegan was in attendance to discuss the rash of break-ins within our lake community. Everyone is encouraged to be vigilant, and report any suspicious activity to the police. 

 

At 11:32AM, Al made a motion that the meeting be adjourned.   Jerry seconded the motion.  A vote was taken, and the meeting adjourned.

LDPOA Monthly Board Meeting September 10, 2016

Lake Diane Property Owners Association
Monthly Board Meeting
September 10, 2016

The meeting was called to order by President Roger Giallorati at 10AM.

Board Members in Attendance:

Roger Giallorati, President
Jim Watt, Treasurer
Kim Byrne, Secretary
Al Vitous
Jerry Agrusa
Scott Coakley
Kevin Mack

The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.

Kim Byrne, Secretary presented minutes from the August 13, 2016 monthly meeting. The minutes were approved as written.

Treasurers Report:

Jim Watt, Treasurer presented the Treasurer’s Report. The report was approved as written.

Aquatic Life:

Lily pads were sprayed this past Wednesday. Phyllis and Al Vitous assisted the spotter to be certain that all areas were treated. There was a 40’X40’ area sprayed in North Bay. Ornamentals were not sprayed.

The island has re-surfaced, and broken apart. It is not known if this is a natural process or if it has been hit by watercraft.

Roger has emailed and spoken to Brad Smith regarding key holing. Brad Smith indicated that because there is no zoning in Camden Township, the township has no power to intercede. Dan Fleck commented that he had gathered information, then presented it to Brad Smith approximately four years ago. Roger will speak to Roy Brandes, then follow-up with Brad Smith.

Building Committee:

There has been a complaint filed with Hillsdale County for the remaining eight property owners whom are non-compliant with the removal of their camping trailers. The defendants have twenty-one days to respond or move their trailers. Because the attorney filed one complaint, but included all eight property owners, the cost was just $175.00.

Roger proposed paying legal fees for “co-signees” of trailer lawsuit(s). It is possible that a neighbor could be a co-signee on a trailer lawsuit, then face future legal fees due to retribution from the original suit. There are multiple variables to this type of situation. The proposal was tabled. There will be further discussion in the future.

Scott Preston applied for and received authorization from the Building Committee to construct a storage barn on his lot adjacent to his house. He also filed a “Combination Request Form” with Amboy Township to combine his two lots. His request was denied as his two lots are in different subdivisions. The board agreed to assist Scott in resolving the issue. Kim Byrne will email a copy of the Resolution of Variances along with a sample of a granted variance to Scott for reference.

Approval was granted to Karen and Jim Watt for revision and extension of their home at 1866 Anchor Way.

Approval was granted to John and Jane Imo to construct a storage barn. This would require that they relocate their existing structure property lot line to accommodate space for the storage barn. The Imo’s hold title to the adjoining lot. They have filed for, and received permission to relocate the lot line with Amboy Township. Verbal approval was conveyed to the Building Committee from Amboy Township via the Imo’s. However, the building committee does not have the approval in hand. Dan Fleck was present, and indicated he plans to file suit with both the township and the Imo’s citing a violation in procedure.

Dredging:

Scott Coakley has dedicated time to study the lake, and its areas which need dredging. The areas will need to be prioritized. Scott proposes organizing a committee, as the process takes much time and effort. Bob Christ asked if the lake level could be raised. Scott indicated that he has inspected the dam, and indeed the lake level could be raised approximately four inches. He will make contact with the necessary officials for permission to adjust the dam to raise the lake level.

Parks:

The shoreline restoration has begun. A report was given.

Welcome Committee:

There were four property closings this month. Al has completed fifteen new packets for future property owners.

Lake Diane Events:

The Toys for Tots Breakfast with Santa event is the final event of the year. Kim Byrne plans to speak with Kim at Shore Side Plaza to possibly move the event there to promote attendance.

Old Business:

Jerry Agrusa is working to pursue past due accounts. He has requested the top five delinquent accounts to proceed with collections.

New Business:

Jo Ellen & Gary Wright and Donna Davidson were in attendance to report the success of the Wine Crawl. This year’s event netted $4,000.00. The proceeds benefit Chickadee Park. There will be an addition to the existing play structure along with repairs to the original structure. Kevin Mack asked that a new infant swing seat be ordered for the equipment at the shelter house. Jo Ellen, Gary and Donna agreed to do so.

At 11:15AM, Roger made a motion that the meeting be adjourned. Jerry seconded the motion. A vote was taken, and the meeting adjourned.

Monthly Board Meeting

The meeting was called to order by President Roger Giallorati at 10AM.

The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.

 

Kim Byrne, Secretary presented minutes from the July 9, 2016 monthly meeting. The minutes were approved as written.

 

Treasurers Report:

 

Jim Watt, Treasurer presented the Treasurer’s Report. The report was approved as written. 

 

Today’s meeting has been designated primarily to address the concerns surrounding the violation of subdivision deed restrictions with placement and storage of RVs, i.e. campers, motor homes, and travel trailers by property owners with deed restrictions recorded with their property deeds. The decision to designate this meeting for discussion of RVs came after the high member and non-member attendance at the July 9, 2016 monthly board meeting.  Notices were broadcast via email, the Lake Diane Facebook page, and hard copy encouraging members and non-members to attend today’s meeting.  There were also signatures obtained from members whom were unable to attend today’s meeting supporting the Lake Diane Property Owners Association Board of Trustees efforts in moving forward with enforcement of the removal of RVs from deed restricted lots.  Members in attendance voiced both their support and opposition of the enforcement of the removal of RVs.  Roger circulated photos to the attendees of properties at Nettle Lake with RVs placed for storage and use to reinforce the potential consequences of neglecting to enforce deed restrictions regarding use and storage of trailers.  

 

Pam Hill proposed a motion to hold a special meeting to discuss the RV issue, and the potential for revision of individual subdivision deed restrictions. Pam was advised that she must have not less than 5% of the member’s signatures supporting the request, then submit the motion to a trustee of the board.

 

Susan Miller presented a letter to the board voicing concern and dissatisfaction with member’s and non-member’s use of their lots. She encouraged all property owners to comply with their deed restrictions to preserve “our neighborhood and property values.”

 

Roger informed attendees that the board will continue to pursue property owners with RVs placed on their deed restricted lot(s). It is the opinion of Roy Brandes, Lake Diane Property Owners Association attorney, that consent judgment dated June 9, 1989 has defined the phrase “no trailer and temporary structure shall be used or stored within a subdivision” to be limited to RVs, and that the subdivision deed restrictions are enforceable.

 

At 11:55AM, Roger made a motion that the meeting be adjourned.   Jim seconded the motion.  A vote was taken, and the meeting adjourned.

Kim Byrne, Secretary presented minutes from the May 21, 2016 monthly meeting. The minutes were approved as written.

 

Treasurers Report:

 

Jim Watt, Treasurer presented the Treasurer’s Report. The report was approved as written. 

 

Aquatic Life:

 

This year there were two treatments of the lake weeds. The first treatment was not as effective as it should have been.  There were samples of the milfoil taken, and it has been determined that there are two different types.  They are cross breeding and becoming resistant to the chemicals that have been effective in the past.  There is a new chemical now being used.  The cost of the weed treatment has increased substantially.  This is due to the fact that the area that is being treated has nearly doubled in size. The lily pads will be treated in the fall, which is customary.

 

There have been two “No Wake” signs placed.

 

Building Committee:

 

Approval has been granted to Craig Martin of 2410 Mindy Lane to resurface his current deck and also enlarge it. Approval was also given to Randy & Kelly Stuckey of 2159 Mindy Lane to add a metal roof to their deck along with replace the current roof of the house with metal roofing.

 

There were members in attendance to discuss the board’s enforcement of removal of travel trailer’s and rv’s from their properties. Members are upset because the deed restrictions for all the subdivisions are outdated, and they wish to be able to store and use their travel trailer’s and rv’s at their own discretion, which puts them in violation.  A lengthy discussion ensued.  Up for discussion at the next monthly meeting will be the potential for revising the deed restrictions for each subdivision along with allowing the use and storage of travel trailers and rv’s.  Roger made a motion that all action which is currently being taken against members with travel trailers and rv’s on their properties cease until the August 13th monthly board meeting has taken place.  Jerry seconded the motion.  A vote was taken, and the motion passed unanimously.

 

 

Dredging:

 

Trustee, Scott Coakley is studying information that has been gathered to date for the dredging project(s). He will continue to research, then he will bring his findings to the board for discussion.

 

Parks:

 

Terry Rupp is looking for volunteers to help with the shoreline restoration project. Please contact Terry is you are available to help.

 

Welcome Committee:

 

Nothing new to report.

 

Lake Diane Events:

 

The jump house has been ordered for the family picnic. Jerry Agrusa is chairing the event, and is in need of volunteers to help with set-up, activities, and clean-up.

 

The golf outing is scheduled for July 30 at Windwood Hollow. There has been a great response with many teams signing up.

 

Old Business:

 

Jerry Agrusa is working to pursue past due accounts. At most, five accounts can be filed with small claims court at a given time.  The five with the largest outstanding balance will be pursued first.  The court has advised it takes six weeks for letters to be sent to defendants.

 

New Business:

 

Ray Neely has gathered information regarding the legal use of golf carts on public roads. At present time, the DNR is requiring all golf carts to have ORV permits.  The township supervisor has the ability to give consideration, then overturn the requirement. This information will be handed off to the township supervisor for consideration, then discussed at the next monthly meeting.

 

At 11:50AM, Roger made a motion that the meeting be adjourned.   Al seconded the motion.  A vote was taken, and the meeting adjourned.

Treasurers Report:

 

Jim Watt, Treasurer presented the Treasurer’s Report. The report was approved as written. 

 

Aquatic Life:

 

The goose egg round-up was a success. There were fifty-four eggs collected the first day, and zero eggs collected the second.  Kim Byrne has filed the necessary report with US Fish and Wildlife.

 

Jim Donahue has been in contact with Roger. Al will not be able to accompany him on the day of the weed treatment.  Jim has volunteered to assist.

 

The DNR has recently conducted a fish count. There are no results available.

 

Building Committee:

 

Due to the fact that there was no action taken by the Lake Diane Property Owners Association within a ten year period, the Hillsdale Court sided with the Duquette’s on the travel trailer suit. There is a statute of limitations of ten years to bring a non-compliant property owner into compliance with their deed restrictions.  Item 3 of the deed restrictions for the East Ten Acre subdivision states that “A travel trailer or motor home not in excess of 8 ft. X 40 ft. may be occupied on the premises during the summer months of the four years following purchase only.”  Duquettes purchased their property fourteen plus years ago, and immediately placed their travel trailer on their lot.  Therefore, they will be allowed to keep the travel trailer on the premises.  However, if the current travel trailer is removed from the lot, Duquette’s will not be permitted to return it, or replace it with another travel trailer.  Al will contact the county health department to address concerns regarding sewer and sanitation issues.

 

In order to bring non-compliant property owners into compliance, Jim will monitor travel trailers, then Lake Diane Property Owners Association will proceed as necessary. This action is a direct result of the majority of the Lake Diane property owners request to remove travel trailers.

 

Bob Pitzen reported that the Massey’s and the Southworth’s are interested in purchasing the Lake Diane park located on Jay Bay. Bob was advised to relay to them that the only way the park can be sold is if 51% of the Lake Diane property owners agree to the sale.  

 

Dan Fleck has plans to submit application to build a house with an attached storage facility on his lot on Horn Drive.

 

Dredging:

 

Nothing new to report.

 

Parks:

 

Nothing new to report on the shoreline restoration project.

 

The teeter totter at Chickadee Park has been repaired. The play structure was blown over and damaged in a storm.  Kevin and Terry Rupp will upright, then make necessary repairs.

 

The “NO WAKE” signs have arrived.

 

Welcome Committee:

 

Nothing new to report.

 

Lake Diane Events:

 

The jump house has been ordered for the family picnic.

 

Old Business:

 

Jerry Agrusa has volunteered to take over filings for past due accounts. Accounts with a past due balance of $1,000 or more will be pursued in court.

 

New Business:

 

Pamela Esterline Beck has requested to speak at the annual meeting. She is running for Treasurer of Hillsdale County.  She will be given a small window to promote her candidacy.

 

 

At 11:35AM, Roger made a motion that the meeting be adjourned.   Jim seconded the motion.  A vote was taken, and the meeting adjourned.
