Hello Neighbors,

In this month’s update, I want to share significant news regarding the new commercial development next door. Over the past few months, the Board has been actively negotiating to ensure that this neighboring construction progresses in a way that protects our community's standard of living, secures our privacy, and delivers real financial value back to our neighborhood. I am pleased to report that we have finalized a formal agreement with the developer that addresses all our key priorities.
 
Here are the core highlights of what was negotiated:
 
Key Agreement Highlights Commercial Border Fencing: The developer is bound to the township-approved build plan, which includes a covenant to construct an 8-foot obscuring fence. The fence will be installed entirely on their property, positioned 20 feet back from our shared property line, to provide strong visual privacy and an added layer of security along our boundary.
 
Temporary Construction Agreement & $50,000 Compensation: To facilitate utility connections for the commercial site, the Association agreed to a temporary construction agreement through the front lot where our subdivision sign stands. In exchange for this temporary land access, the developer is paying our Association $50,000 in cash compensation, which will go directly into our reserve account for future community improvements.
 
Permanent Easement & Maintenance Transfer: Under a separate agreement, once construction of the sewer line is completed, both the permanent easement and long-term maintenance responsibilities for the sewer line will be transferred directly to the township. 
 
Front Entrance Electrical Fix: As a required condition of the agreement, the developer will fully repair and restore the broken electrical infrastructure servicing our front entrance lighting at their sole expense.
 
What’s Next?
Work on the utility connections and the front electrical repair is expected to begin as soon as municipal permits are processed. We will keep you posted on work dates and any temporary impact near the entrance as schedules are finalized. 
 
Thank you for your ongoing support as we work to keep our community safe, well-maintained, and financially strong.

** Lake Deweeding **

Summer 2026 Lake Treatment
 
7/27/26
Aqua-Weed came to assess the lakes and river for invasive weeds on 7/23. They will post signs on 7/31 and treat Tull Lake, Little Tull Lake, and the river on 8/3.
 
 
6/15/26
Aqua-Weed came to assess the lake for invasive weeds on 6/12, and found that the weeds are up all around the main lake. They will post signs on 6/17 and treat the lake on 6/18.
 
 
Update 5/28:
Aqua-Weed will be on the lake this morning. They did not post signs in every yard. Only the yards in the areas being treated. (link to map below) If you don't live in an area being treated, it is not dangerous to be in the water, just not recommended.
 
Since this spring has been cold, we do not have as much invasive weed growth at this time. Aqua-Weed will do 1 small treatment (now) and 2 larger ones in the weeks to come as it warms up and the invasive weeds start to grow.

Aqua-Weed will put up signs on Wednesday, May 27 and will treat Big Tull, Little Tull and the river on Thursday, May 28. It is not required to refrain from boating. However, giving the chemicals 24 hours to settle where they are sprayed is beneficial. The yard sign posting will provide all of the information on chemicals used and restrictions (if any).
 
 
May 21, 2026
Aquaweed will be on the lake today to survey the water before treating next week.
 
August 14, 2025
The lake will be getting treated again next week. Signs should get put up in our yards on Aug. 15.

Overall the lake looks good. There is some milfoil, naiads, and Sago Pondweed starting to come up.
 
Big Tull
Weeds - 18 acres = $4,320
Algae - SeClear (binds phosphorus and water quality enhancement) – 33 acres = $10,725

The SeaClear is a preventive algicide that binds the phosphorus in the water column. Phosphorous creates algae.

Little Tull and Huron
7.5 acres = $1800
 
This is the second and last treatment of the lake this year and we stayed with our 30k budget.
 
June 4, 2025
Both lakes were treated by Aquaweed for weeds as planned. This year, because we saw an early build-up of algae, the big lake was also treated for that. Aquaweed stated that it is very early to see an algae bloom especially without much heat. They felt that this was possibly caused by runoff from water into the Huron River and from our lawns. We have started using the non-river pump as much as possible and we want to remind you to use environmentally friendly fertilizer on your lawns and do not fertilize within 20 feet of the shoreline.

Priority Waste: Yard Waste

There have been numerous concerns about recycling debris being displaced on windy days. Priority waste is offering the purchase of a 65 Gallon recycling cart (with lid) for $65 which would be yours to keep. Due to high demand, your cart purchase may take up to 6 weeks for delivery. 
 
 

 
Yard Waste 2026 pick up will be from April 1, 2026 thru December 5, 2026.
 
Composting is done by a separate truck on the same day. Yard waste is defined as leaves, lawn cuttings, shrub/tree trimmings and the like.  Place into biodegradable bags or containers of 35 gallons or less. We enforce a weight limit of 50 pounds.
 
Brush and Limbs can be picked up throughout the year. Make sure if greater than 2 inches in diameter they must be in bundles no longer than 4 feet in length and not exceed a total of 18 inches in diameter.

Lake Level / Pumps

The lake is now at the summer level. River pump and well pumps run times will be adjusted as needed to maintain the lake level.

Lakes Evaluation - 2024

Restorative Lake Sciences (RLS) was out on Tuesday, May 14th for the 2024 lake scan & evaluation of Tull Lake #1 and Tull Lake #2. They also collected water samples from each lake.
 
The preliminary analysis from RLS showed two types of invasive weeds in Tull Lake #2.  They found approximately 42 acres of Curl-Leaf Pondweed and 1 acre of Eurasian Watermilfoil. There were no invasive weeds found in Tull lake #1. The clarity of the water has improved since evaluation in June 2023.

The Eurasian Watermilfoil is the invasive plant that we have had for many years.  The Watermilfoil was aggressively treated in June of 2022 with a systemic treatment, Triclopyr. As a result of the June 2022 treatment, there was no Watermilfoil observed in 2023.
 
The treatment recommendation from RLS for early June is to treat with Diquat for the Curly-Leaf Pondweed and with ProcellaCOR for the Eurasian Watermilfoil.
