Rush Lake Property Owners Association, Pinckney, MI, Official website.
September 3 Rush Lake POA board member meeting highlights.
Parks - the port-a-potty units will be picked up by Friday, September 5.
Final trash pickup will take place September 5 and the bins will be picked up and stored until next Spring.
All Rush Lake and canal treatments have been completed. We must comply with DNR restrictions that prohibit herbicide treatments beyond 100 feet from shoreline. There are some pockets of weed beds, but overall the lake and canal treatments were very effective this summer.
Our Fall semi-annual meeting will take place October 1 at 7:00 p.m. at Hamburg Community Center. The May semi-annual meeting failed to conduct business since we did not have a quorum of 20 members. The board strongly requests your attendance at this meeting. We have the election of board members and the reading of proposed by-law changes that need to take place. With our board member election, we have one vacant position and we are in urgent need of adding a volunteer member to the board.
Road grading and chloride treatments were completed prior to the Labor Day holiday.

THREE PARKS & BOAT LAUNCH

Lake Improvement:
Rush Lake is a private spring-fed lake that covers approximately 130 acres. It is a shallow lake by many standards with an average depth of five to six feet with some areas measuring a depth of approximately 15 feet.
There is a court order that has set the height of the dam to keep water levels as consistent as mother nature allows.
Our contractors are obligated to post notification signs on the property shorelines in areas that they treat with herbicides. If your property is not affected by the herbicide treatments, you will not have signage posted on your property.
The board member responsible for Lake management and improvement is Joe Grech.
Road Grading and Maintenance.
All dirt roads in the association are maintained throughout the entire year. During spring until late fall, roads are graded, dust-controlled chloride treatments are applied, and gravel is added to maintain good conditions.
Rush Lake Road, Chambers, and Pettysville are county roads and thus are maintained by the county road commission. M-36 is a state road maintained by the State Highway Commission. The roads of Moon Shadows are maintained by the Moon Shadows Association. Our association contracts for road grading, snow plowing, and dust control.
During the winter months, the roads are cleared of snow once we have an accumulation of three inches or more.
Sand is provided at several locations within the association if the property owner needs sand for their driveway or approach areas.
Homeowners are asked to keep mailbox areas clear to allow the US Postal Service access for mail delivery.
All property owners must keep trees and brush growth clear and provide clear sight lines for traffic and pedestrian safety.
Members seeking special road maintenance issues should email our clerk with their concerns. Please include your name, address, and phone number.
The board member responsible for the roads is Pam Sevonty.
