Thanks to all that responded to our survey. 

The No Soliciting signs are up! 

Based on community response to our earlier survey about No Solicitation in Lakewood Village, we have installed signs at all three of the entrances.

White Lake Township has a Solicitation ordinance. The following is a link to the ordinance on the Township website.

In a nutshell, the purpose of the ordinance is to protect the public from crime and unwanted solicitation. Solicitors must have a solicitation license to engage in solicitation within the limits of the Township from the Township Clerk. The license allows for the Township to do criminal background checks.

Quoting the ordinance: Sec 32-3 – Solicitation in general. “A person shall not call upon, go upon the property of, or in any way disturb the occupant of a building to solicit, whether residential or commercial, if that building or property has displayed on or near the front door or front window of the building, or at the entrance of the building or property's subdivision or condominium, a sign with letters at least one inch high stating: "No Solicitors," "No Soliciting," or substantially equivalent language.

Bottom line, if anyone solicits in the subdivision, they would be violating the ordinance, and the police could issue a ticket.

Will this stop all solicitors? I seriously doubt it.  However, if there is a solicitor that is causing concern for any reason the police can be called to address the concern.

What about contractors?  Contractors will probably continue to distribute fliers as they have in the past, but they should not come onto your property to do so.

What about school fund raisers?  Technically, that is considered solicitation, and they would need a license to do so. I recommend Lakewood Village residents utilize our Lakewood Village Facebook pages to announce fund raiser activities and let the residents respond to participate.

Questions about the ordinance should be directed to the White Lake Township Clerk.

Sincerely,

Steve Woodard

2022: A Huge Thank You to Our LVIA Road Crew!!!

Please take a moment when you have a chance to stop and say Thank You to the people that offered their time, talent and a bit of brawn to Do Something about what was becoming a dangerous situation in the neighborhood.

There were a lot of folks that called OCRC. OCRC confirmed, in my multiple calls with them, that they were receiving information from folks in LVIA regarding the issue.  Part of the problem with the OCRC inability to respond to our request is the overcapacity situation at the Asphalt manufacturing facilities that are running 7 days/week in an effort to supply all the new + road repair work that is happening at this time.

We needed to do something, and we did.   What a beautiful job the teams did….(I Promise I will not submit your names as I am sure OCRC would love to have folks of your talent on their team)

Another incredible achievement for a 2 Hour project!

Thanks To:

Tom Bingham, Terry Crossett, Phil Dimmer, Jim Deren, Brian Lovejoy, Marvin Miller, Lee Ponoushek, Mike Scally, Brian Sinkoff, Ercel Skaslin, Theresa Stinson, Dave VanRemortel, Ed Walters, John Wenk, Steve Woodard.

THANK YOU, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN FROM OUR ENTIRE HOA.
