Doug Wittler is in attendance to promote the paving of East Diane Drive and its adjoining roads.

Cellars Road is also included in the petition with the township and county being responsible for the cost. The goal is to have the project completed by July 4, 2021. The purpose of Mr. Wittler’s presentation today is to ask for support of the project from the board. Jim Watt made a motion that Lake Diane Community Association support the paving and improvements of East Diane Drive and adjoining roads. Scott Hercula seconded the motion. A vote was taken, and the motion passed unanimously.  

Kevin has collected documentation regarding implementation of a dock ordinance. More discussion is needed with township officials to promote an ordinance to prevent keyholing.

Roger has received a complaint from a resident on Easy Street regarding a camper/trailer on Sue Lynn Circle. Roger informed the resident that it is a burden of the property owners to enforce deed restrictions. The resident neighbor plans to pursue action for removal of the camper/trailer.

Jim Watt proposed a special mailing regarding boater’s safety. There have been multiple complaints regarding unsafe use of watercraft on Lake Diane.
