The Dalecarlian Newsletter Assembly The Lake Dalecarlian Newsletter Assembly Crew met at the POA Community Building on June 5 to put the May issue together for mailing. Present were: Bill Waligora, Carol Jensen, Pat Queza-da, Bonnie Hull, Wroe King and Assistant Ginny. Thank you Marilyn Souther for making the calls! And thank you all for your help! Anyone who wants to join in, usually on the first Wednes-day of each month (except January) can report at 8 am. We will be happy for your assistance.

Planning Pier or Shoreline Work If you are planning shoreline work (seawall, glacial stone, rip-rap, etc.), a new or renovated pier, a waterfront deck or any work at or near the shoreline of your property you may be required to complete a construction application and obtain County and/or US Army Corp of Engineers permits. For details on the specific construction regulations and the approvals required for your project, pick-up a copy of the revised “LDPOA Construction Reg-ulations and Application” from the info box outside of the Com-munity building or download from the Community web-site www.lakedalecarlia.org. Failure to obtain all of the necessary approvals and permits BEFORE commencing work on your pro-ject will result in fines from the LDPOA, County and USACE.

Lake Water Quality Testing Results The Lake County Health Department conducts weekly water quality tests at four locations around our lake: 153rd Avenue, East Beach, Spillway and Dam. The results are typically faxed to the LDPOA on Thursday or Friday of each week. If the results exceed the normal limit (235cfu/100ml), the LCHD posts signs at each of the locations that exceeded the limit. In such instances the lake is not retested by the LCHD until the following week. The results of the tests are available via telephone (dial 219-696-0771 and press 3 anytime during the greeting) and on the Com-munity web-site (www.lakedalecarlia.org).The LCHD usually

begins weekly water quality testing at the end of May.

No election will need to be held in July. New business: after the abundance of rain people have drained water into the street which has gone into neighbor’s houses down the road-please be aware of where water will go. Our webpage has a link to Beach Closings and Water Results, due to the heavy rains the lake is currently contaminated. Section rep Jack Payne reported pulling an 8 ft slide and section of pier out of the water recently, please be aware of items in the water and please keep your pier in repair. Letters will be sent to remind members to repair piers. Marina Subdivision was discussed. The board was contacted by a buyer about lake rights. 4 lots encompassing the Fairways Boat Ramp are to be built. Currently they have no lake rights. Sue Shields questioned how many other lots will be built on around the lake? Bill Waligora and Herb Steuer dis-cussed that there are 80 acres known as Clay Point that could have 70 homes on 1 acre lots and 10 lots on 1400 feet of lakefront property, that would be separate subdivi-sions. It was discussed that waste district has to decide how many can be handled, if there should be a limit on water vehicles per household, 6 piers with lake access, breakwalls and piers will need same approv-als. Dan Lewis questioned “what is our gain” & “more houses scare him”. Sherry Emigh pointed out that the main lake should have boats stay farther away from the shore. Vic Emigh, Jr stated that people don’t follow the rules now, more people, more issues, lots of boats without stickers. Karen Taylor ques-tioned would this be the homeowner or board’s decision? Victor Emigh stated a big plus would be removing the ramp with ac-cess to the lake. Roy Dominguez stated information on any new building should be on our website and is in favor of a referen-dum to decide lake rights. Betty Dominguez stated the attraction is the lake and with building are lake rights expected? Robert Van Buren is building a custom ranch home on Lot 4, new homes will be an asset to the area and suggested an impact fee to help with care of the lake. Trish Cullum asked when do we need to have an answer? Bill Waligora said there is no deadline. Janice Meyers stated she knew Dean White would die and something would happen with the property, what is the sewage plan?

Geane Anderson stated 4 houses would be ok, more are not ok, our POA owns the lake, what about Outlot O for the new building? Helmer Claesson questioned the erosion from no seawalls, shallow water, looking at the original covenants and getting our lawyer involved. Danny Fagan wondered about dredging and the plan for dirt removal, also thanked the board for being “on our side”. Upcoming events: Saturday, June 29th will be a firework show by Island Drive, July 17th from 5:30-7:30pm is the next People’s Sup-per, July 27th from 8:30-11am is the Fishing Derby, July 27th from 11am-1pm is the Wom-en’s Club Back to School Bash, also July 27th is the Fire Department Hog Roast.
