Re: Channel Behind Loch Lane
Diane,
I have discussed our intended maintenance with the environmental consultant we hired to help us secure
the permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers necessary to build the channel. She and I agree that
the Corps permit allows us to do an annual mowing of the channel. The language of the permit is very
specific though, that the mowing must be done during the dormant period of the vegetation that is
supposed to be there, which is defined as December to January.
To make a long story short, we will be mowing this channel once per year beginning this winter. Because
of the difficulty in gaining access with equipment, it will likely be done by hand with hand operated
equipment (weed eaters). The work will be performed by VMI under contract to the city. I expect to send
a letter to all homeowners adjacent to the channel prior to beginning the work this winter.
We did perform some removal of woody material (weed trees) from the part of the channel behind the
Hard 8 BBQ earlier this week, and will include this section of the channel in our annual maintenance as
well.
Thanks for the follow up, and we are looking forward to the start of another exciting school year. Let me
know if you think of anything else.
Keith

Hi Keith,
Hope you and your family are enjoying these last days of summer before school starts. Any word on the
