OLD BUSINESS:

Outstanding check: Check issued to Frederiksen’s for refund on overpayment of sewer assessment was not cashed, still outstanding. Sue Hanson followed up on.

The development will consist of a total of 98 acres. The first phase of the development which will consist of 51 acres with 52 single family detached townhomes and 6 to 8  lots on the lake, which, will be lake view lots, as there will be no private docks allowed . There will be a nature trail between the lake lots and the lake. The DNR OK’d a marina off the far North end of the development. Home owners will be able to keep their boats there for a slip fee. There will be an additional 47 acres in the second phase, but there is not a preliminary plat for that yet. This property has been annexed into the City of Alexandria, so all the streets will have to be up to City specs and maintained by the City of Alexandria, so it is not a part of Lake Mary Township. The development will be putting in private sewer line. The development would like to able to stub off of the Lake Mary sewer system. Dick Dreher was inquiring on how the development would go about doing this.  This subject will need to be discussed with the township lawyer requarding the hook-up, and there more than likely will be a minimum $1000.00 SAC per unit, but this too needs to be discussed with the lawyer to be able to give a more exact figure.      

NEW BUSINESS:

ALASD Allocation: ALASD has set an allocation of $56,049.00 for Lake Mary Township in 2019.

MAT Annual Meeting: None of the board members are planning on attending this year.
