Lake Orion Lake Association Meeting With the Moceri team
As we all became more aware of the proposed three developments by Moceri around the lake, the Lake Orion Lake Association (LOLA) Board became more concerned about the potential impact to the lake. Per the LOLA Bylaws, these concerns were mainly around the potential impact to water quality and water safety. We put together a list of questions and concerns which we provided to the Moceri Team for discussion.
The LOLA Board met with the Moceri Team on Tuesday August 23 getting a detailed presentation of the proposed three developments and discussed the list of questions and concerns in detail. This was a very productive exchange where Moceri provided direct responses to each of the bullets on our list. Assuming Moceri gets approval through the appropriate Village processes, we agreed to continue working together to ensure our mutual interest in preserving the lake’s water quality and water safety.
The following is the list of questions and concerns presented by LOLA to the Moceri Team, with their responses in red font.
What Does LOLA Do?
• Lake Orion Algae & Weed Management SAD #2 – Approval of the Lake Orion SAD #2 by Orion Township Board highlights the most significant undertaking ever by LOLA and the importance of having a strong lake association. Success was underscored by maintaining complete transparency throughout the process including preparation of Informational Packets announcing the SAD along with key information explaining the SAD in detail. This was followed by an Informational Meeting hosted by LOLA. Using area coordinators from our Neighborhood Weed Treatment Program, we were able to obtain the needed petition signatures in a thirty day period keeping the proposed SAD on track for implementation in 2015. We are very proud of this accomplishment and could not have done it without your support.
• No-Wake Buoy Program – The No-Wake Buoy Program was established in 1986 by LOLA to address lake resident concerns with protection of our shorelines from erosion due to boat wakes. There are seventeen No-Wake buoys in the LOLA fleet with locations approved by DNR permit. This program continues to be a LOLA commitment to Lake Orion. LOLA volunteers maintain the fleet including seasonal installation and removal of the buoys. Funding for the program comes from membership dues and Buoy-Buddy donations.
• Water Quality – LOLA participates in state-wide water quality monitoring program through the Michigan Lakes & Streams Association Cooperate Lakes Monitoring Program conducting seasonal water quality testing of Lake Orion’s water. Testing monitors water clarity and, chlorophyll and phosphorus levels in the lake. Results of these tests can be viewed by visiting www.micorps.net.
• Oakland County Sheriff Marine Division Boat Patrols – LOLA has been instrumental in coordinating with Orion Township and Oakland County Sheriff’s Department Marine Division to continue the Marine patrols on Lake Orion.
• Dragon On The Lake (DOTL) Lighted Boat Parade & Dragon Boat Races – LOLA is responsible for the Lighted Boat Parade which is the kickoff for the DOTL weekend. LOLA also supports the Dragon Boat races by providing the safety patrols for the race area to assure that the boating spectators keep their boats in the viewing area.
• 2022 Lighted Boat Parade was reported to be one of the best ever. The Lake Orion Fire breathing Dragon again lead the parade around the lake breathing out fire all the way. Fun was had by all. Many thanks to Ray Cs Extreme of Lapeer for their support.
