Agnesian Construction Update

According to the Fond du Lac City Planner there are no plans for any development or changes to our border with the Agnesian property adjoining our land.  Agnesian is building a new dialysis center next their existing surgery center off Camelot.  They have started a road that will lead to the new center and parking area.  The border we have with them will remain as is for now.  The City Planner said we do have a wetlands area behind us that would make it difficult to develop.  Also, the City Planner said Agnesian does have a responsibility to control any water run-off as a result of their construction.

Dues Increase

Association dues increasing to $125

     The Board has decided it was time for a small increase in association dues due to increased costs for snow removal, insurance and lawn care.  Effective with the April payment, monthly dues will go up $6 to $125 per month. 

    This winter has proven very expensive to provide everyone with timely snow removal, and the winter is not over.  The last dues increase was about four years ago.  The Board also has to factor in if we are increasing and how much we are increasing our Reserve Fund.  This is the fund that will be used for eventual building and road repairs like siding, roofing and resealing the driveways and roadways.  Please be sure to increase your check or electronic funds transfer to $125.00 starting with the April 1^st, 2014 payment.
