Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Act 146 of the Public Acts of 1961, the Inland Lake
Level Act, establishes a procedure for the establishment of a legal
lake level for inland lakes in the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS, Lake Louise and Huff Lake, having a combined surface
area of approximately 149 acres, located within the Township of
Brandon, T.5N., R.9E., Oakland County, Michigan, are both inland
lakes; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of a summer and winter level for
Lake Louise and Huff Lake under the provisions of Act 146 of 1961
would provide for the protection of the public health, welfare, and
safety, and would conserve the natural resources of the state, and
would preserve and enhance property values around Lake Louise and
Huff Lake; and
WHEREAS, petitions requesting the establishment of a legal lake
level have been received from more than two-thirds (2/3) of the
freeholders owning land abutting Lake Louise and Huff Lake; and
WHEREAS, in order to maintain a summer and winter level for
Lake Louise and Huff Lake, it is necessary to construct a new dam to
replace the existing dam.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board of Commissioners
deems it in the public's best interest to reconstruct the existing
Lake Louise Dam, in order to establish and maintain a normal summer
elevation and winter elevation for Lake Louise and Huff Lake,
pursuant to the provisions of Act 146 of the Public Acts of 1961, as
amended.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Drain Commissioner be
authorized to prepare a Special Assessment District, as prescribed
in Act 146, and to include therein each parcel of land which will
benefit by the establishment of a summer and winter lake level.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Office of the Prosecuting
Attorney be authorized to initiate a Complaint in the Circuit Court
for the County of Oakland to establish a legal summer and winter
level for Lake Louise and Huff Lake, as indicated herein.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.
