LDC’s Top 8 Things to Know
- HOA fees were originally due on April 1, but we’re extending the date to June 1 due to the Coronavirus outbreak. If able, we ask that submit your dues ASAP, but we recognize the effects our current situation may have on some of our residents. Checks, which are $1,500 plus pool fees, should be mailed to Lac du Cours Home Association – P.O. Box 512 – Mequon, WI 53092. Please contact John Hagerbaumer with any questions.
- While getting our kids exercise is important to their health and our sanity, we ask that you stay away from the playground by the pool to align with state expectations.
- Mulch it up! The initial stash of firewood was quickly grabbed up, but we’re having more cut and split for resident use. Also, there’s a heaping pile of mulch in the pool parking lot that can be used for all sorts of things, such as prettifying your landscape or garnish around a plate of fully loaded nachos.
- Garlic as a flavor enhancer: great! Mustard as a flavor enhancer: also great! Garlic mustard, the plant: Very bad, and frankly, quite rude. This invasive plant should be dug up, double-bagged, sealed and properly disposed of before it starts becoming a movie villain.
- Speaking of properly disposed yard waste, it should absolutely, positively not be dumped in our common areas. That goes doubly for the individual who placed a pile of buckthorn behind the sign at the Donges Bay entrance. These behaviors are what drive the origin story of a 60-foot plant monster.
- Related, David J. Frank will be making their annual trek around LDC picking up sticks that’ve fallen over the winter. This may not stave off the plant monster, but it will keep the evil Stickopolis from overtaking the neighborhood. See this nifty brochure on Mequon’s Brush and Yard Waste Disposal Center for your other disposal needs.
- Our neighbors to the southeast of the soccer field have requested that our residents (kids and adults alike) not use the unofficial trail that actually goes through private property. In addition to being respectful of the person’s property, the entire neighborhood also be removing ash trees in the coming months so it’ll be dangerous to traverse the property.
- Oh, and most importantly, be smart and be safe!
