Attn: Mr. Timothy J. Soave
Manager Oakland County
Fiscal Services Division 1200

Pontiac, MI 48341
RE: Environmental Infrastructure Fund Reimbursement Program for White Lake Township
Dear Mr. Soave:
Pursuant to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Miscellaneous
Resolution (MR) 99093, the Charter Township of White Lake (Township) hereby
requests reimbursement under the Oakland County Environmental Infrastructure
Fund Program for expenses incurred in connection with eligible remediation or
improvement projects undertaken by our Township.
Per the program outline, it is our understanding the Township is eligible to receive
approximately $94,650.95 per year from 1999 to 2003. Accordingly, total funds
available through 2003 should be approximately $473,254.75.
Projects currently being undertaken by the Township that have been completed
already are as follows:
I. One million gallon new water tower (sections 17 & 20) and
approximately 1300 feet of water main extension (from Aspen
Meadows well house/sub) for retail Meijer establishment. This project
will extend water main to potentially serve an existing school on Hill
Road, a large manufactured home community (Cedarbrook Estates)
along South side of Highland Road and Ford Road. The existing
school, nearby businesses, and manufactured home community are
served by private wells, which are subject to new government
regulation, potential contamination and provide less security from
potential terrorist threat. The water tower shall provide increased fire
protection for the community, provide a safer drinking water source,
and increase pressure for water customers. The total cost incurred for
this project to date is $47,130. This cost includes easement acquisition
cost, some water tower design cost and appraisal cost for potential
easement condemnation procedure.
2. Village Acres new sixteen inch water well. The additional Village Acres new well #3
water improvement was needed to keep up with the 25% percent increase in new water users
from 1998 through 2003 and six new major developments expected within the next few years.
The well is located east of Union Lake Road at parcel ID 12-25-301-015. The total spent was
$482,183.29 and includes engineering, all plumbing, building cost, motors, electrical, legal,
and property costs.
3. Improved Water System Controls (SCADA) system. This project will provide updated
reports, improved security and oversight and more automation of the water controls system.
The total project cost was $80,066.60. The older relay Scada system was an outdated system
which could not be added to and was breaking down frequently — offering the water staff with
little oversight capability and possibly the water customers with no water.
4. Improved water capacity improvement for newer Aspen Meadows well house. The developer
agreed to expand the 12 inch to 16 well size for an additional $25,000 to meet expected
existing and future water users demand as shown on the Township Water Master Plan.
5. Water Security system improvements to prevent potential threats to the drinking water of the
community. As you may be aware, The USEPA is requiring communities to perform
baseline threat information for Vulnerability Assessments of Community Water Systems by
June 30, 2004. As part of this requirement, secure water system improvements are
necessary and have been done to a total of $4818.70.
6. Wellhead Protection Plan for the Township. The required Wellhead Protection Plan water
improvement is a many-phased plan, which helps protect the drinking water for White Lake
Township residents and businesses. The steps involve a contingency plan, delineation study,
groundwater direction map, contaminant source inventory map and site review standards for
new construction. The State of Michigan helps communities faster in the event of a
contaminated water site with a Wellhead Protection Plan. The total cost for this project is
$8552.22.
7. Water system mapping and master plan. The water system maps and water master
plan water improvement is necessary to comply with Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality regulations, helps plan a growing water system (5-6% annual growth), and assists
staff with finding the water components for flushing and necessary maintenance activity.
The total spent is $9,684.00 for the water system mapping and master plan.
Attachment A contains a copy of the Township Board resolution and project approvals
authorizing reimbursement for the project listed above for your reference.
Attachment B contains expense invoices for all of the above projects as incurred since 1999 that
the Township is seeking to be reimbursed on (township has spent $657,434.81 total). As
mentioned in the descriptions above, most of these projects are completed. Only two projects
(Aspen Meadows water main extension and water tower) will be incurring further costs.
The Township understands the review and processing of this reimbursement request will be
governed by the provisions of IVIR 99093, and certifies that all expenses submitted for
reimbursement were incurred in connection with a qualifying remediation or improvement
project.
As such, the Township is seeking for reimbursement in the amount of $473,254.75 at this time.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me by phone at the above
number or by e-mail. My e-mail address is pshearlock@whitelaketwp.com . The Township
appreciates your assistance.
Sincerely,
Paul Shearlock, M.S.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Supervisor Elliott opened the discussion for public comments for items not listed on the agenda.
Matt Simon, stated his opposition to the tentative preliminary plat of July 16, 2002 submitted by
Nosen-Heritage connecting the two subdivisions via an extension of Newport Drive. He indicated
that at that time, there were several residents opposing the extension mainly due to safety issues.
Since July, the issue has worsened. The retaining wall now proposed is estimated at 170 ft. long
with an 11 ft. drop. He feels this is excessive and must be addressed by the board again. He
requested the board to reconsider the tentative preliminary plat,
Supervisor Elliott indicated that the final plat is on the agenda for the next meeting. The plans will
be before the members prior to that meeting.
Mr. Brendel feels if the wall is 11 ft. high, it should be addressed. Supervisor Elliott suggested
waiting until the information is received with comments from the engineer and planner before
jumping to any assumptions.
Mr. Rumple noted that there is an 11 ft. drop stepped over two 5 ft. graduated steps. He added
that there is a certain amount of landscaping proposed for the area and the edge of the sidewalk
has a split rail fence proposed.

Mr. Anderson indicated that there is a curbed road, approximately 4 to 6 inches that continues up
to 16 ft. Prior to the property line, there is a sidewalk. His review has recommended a barrier.
He added that this comes down to a 4 ft. high vertical slat with a black aluminum fence (that
meets the existing code) and then two 5 ft. walls.
Mrs. Morgan Hall questioned whether the wall was actually 170 ft. long. Mr. Anderson stated that
it is fairly long, but tapers at both ends.
Mr. Rumple stated that he told the developer to provide as much information as possible for the
next meeting since this will be an issue for discussion. He added that the developer was not
aware this item would be discussed this evening.
Clerk Burkard and Mr. Voorheis stated that they are fine with voting on this issue this evening.
Mr. Simon stated that the developer was in fact aware that he would bring this up this evening.
Mr. Simon just wants to get the issue resolved. He stated that this is clearly higher than 6 ft. and
the vertical drop is significantly greater. He feels this needs to be addressed further.
On another note, Mr. Rumple indicated that he received a message from the contractor
representing Independence Village. They were looking at quotes for work based on
recommendations the township made to alleviate detention issues with the site. They are looking
over final numbers and Mr. Rumple is expecting an update soon.
Mrs. Morgan-Hall questioned whether they planned on redredging. Mr. Rumple stated that the
contractor's plan is to sink borings to the water table to allow filtration of the sediment basin. By
boring holes through the layer that is blocking the basin, the problem could be alleviated. Mr.
Anderson will review this further.
Supervisor Elliott asked Mr. Rumple to contact them and provide a written report for the next
meeting.
Mr. Rumple stated that most sedimentation could have settled during the construction. Mr.
Anderson added that they would bore holes and backfill them with perforated pipe that would
extend below the pond surface, or they could cut a 4 ft. x 4 ft. hole through the sand base and
backfill. He hasn't seen anything specific yet. He recommended that the soils engineer do a
quick sampling to determine which areas of the pond where there is sand underneath.
Mrs. Spoor questioned whether they did something similar earlier in the spring. Mr. Anderson
stated that they scarified it, but it was not effective and no plans were submitted.
Mrs. Morgan-Hall asked if this has anything to do with the soil problems in the township. Mr.
Rumple stated that the soil erosion ordinance would ensure that this would not happen. Oakland
County Drain Commission has a similar ordinance but do not enforce it. They are hoping White
Lake Township can enforce the ordinance. Mr. Anderson is also hoping to eliminate this during
construction to minimize runoff and to have it cleaned at the end of the project with bond money.
Bob Smith, 8734 Townsend Drive, stated that this was originally supposed to be smaller, but they
hit a natural spring. He suggested for the board to review what was done at Heritage Hills, as this
might have some bearing on fixing the problem.

PLANNING AND ZONING
a. Second Reading: Rezoning (C-3) Restricted Office to (C-5) Planned Business
District
411111 Supervisor Elliott stated that this is the TC Federal Credit Union located on the north side of
Highland Road west of Audubon. The parcel is 6.56 acres. There was a preliminary site plan
CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF WHITE LAKE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES REGULAR MEETING

approval of 4.62 acres, leaving 1.92 to be developed at a future date. The Planning Commission
and the consultant recommended approval. She added that this was published in the Spinal
Column on December 4, 2002.
Mr. Melcher questioned whether there would be a deceleration lane. The applicant stated that
MDOT's review requested a 150 ft. deceleration lane with a 50 ft. taper. Mr. Rumple noted that
the Planning Commission also recommended that they submit a plan for a deceleration lane.
Supervisor Elliott questioned whether this area was supposed to be seeded. The applicant stated
that the majority of the dirt would be needed at the site. He has spoke with Mr. Anderson and Mr,
Rumple. He noted that there will be no more grading on the west, but there would still be some
grading on the south. He added that there is a steep slope now, but once the topsoil is pushed,
soil stabilization will be achieved.
Mr. Rumple indicated that this is recommended for approval subject to changes to the final site
plan. A wetlands impact will require permits from MDEQ and the township. He stated that he put
the applicant on notice that they will be looking for an alternate plan before handing out permits.
Supervisor Elliott noted that AKZ Architects has requested a permit from MDEQ and the township
has 20 days to respond to the permit.
Mrs. Spoor stated that she is concerned with one issue. It appears that there is a weir or mini
dam developing to the east. She feels it will impact the wetlands considerably. She noted that
this is based on a 1-year rain and there shouldn't be a problem to that point, but in the past two
years, we have experienced two 100-year rains back-to-back, which concerns her on the effect
this will have on the wetlands. The weir feeds the lakes to the south and she feels what happens
on this parcel will impact those lakes to the south. The DNR wants to review this since this is a
large parcel and will have a huge affect. She stated that she would like to pass rezoning this
evening, but because C-5's are linked with preliminary site plans, she would like to table this
portion until the township can see how this will impact.
Mr. Rumple indicated that C-5 has been approved without site plan approval. He would highly
recommend only allowing 0-3 restricted use to go into the C-5 zoning. Attorney Need added that
it should be conditioned on this particular use and that the site plan could be brought in at a later
date. Mrs. Spoor stated that she is not opposed to C-3 restricted use, but noted that this is a
sensitive area and it is crucial what type of decisions are made on this piece of property.
Mrs. Morgan-Hall stated that she is not comfortable passing a zoning without a site plan.
Mr. Rumple stated that the applicant is showing a 10 ft. setback and he wants it made clear that
the township is not approving the 10 ft. setback on Parcel 1.
Clerk Burkard questioned why this couldn't be tabled until the next meeting when all the
information will be available. Attorney Need stated that anything they want to do on parcel 2
would have to start the process again.
It was MOVED by Spoor, SUPPORTED by Morgan-Hall to approve the rezoning request to
C-5 with restricted land use of C-3 on both parcels, and to accept the preliminary site plan
with the revisions of wetlands area to be reviewed and returned back to the Township
Board for approval. The MOTION PASSED with a voice vote: Voorheis — yes; Morgan-Hall
— yes; Spoor — yes; Elliott — yes; Burkard — no; Brendel — yes; Melcher — yes. (6 yes votes,
1 no vote) Voorheis, Morgan-Hail, Spoor, Elliott, Brendel and Melcher in favor; Burkard
opposed.

• The applicant stated that MDEQ required the study that was submitted. Mrs. Spoor noted that
the township wetlands ordinance would need to be satisfied as well. Since they will only use the
first parcel now, the weir and retention area could be a test period. She added that there are other
means of offsetting the drainage.
It was MOVED by Spoor, SUPPORTED by Brendel to call for a public hearing regarding the
application to MDEQ by AKZ, File Number 02-63-04-OOP. The MOTION PASSED with a
unanimous voice vote. (7 yes votes)
b. Second Reading: Rezoning from (AG) Agricultural District to (SF) Suburban Farms
Supervisor Elliott stated that the parcel is located on the west side of McKeachie, north of
Jackson and consists of 21.78 acres. The Planning Commission and consultant have
recommended approval. This was published on December 4, 2002 in the Spinal Column.
It was MOVED by Spoor, SUPPORTED by Voorheis to approve the rezoning request from
(AG) to (SF). The MOTION PASSED with a unanimous voice vote. (7 yes votes)
c. Second Reading: Rezoning (RM-1) Multiple Family to (C-5) Planned Business
Supervisor Elliott stated that the parcel is located on the west side of Williams Lake Road on the
south side of Elizabeth Lake Road and consists of 3.58 acres. The Planning Commission did not
make a motion on C-2 zoning, but instead made a motion on C-4 and it was denied. The
coordinating committee of Oakland County recommended denial and the Township Board made
a motion to C-5 zoning. This was published December 11, 2002 in the Spinal Column.
Mrs. Spoor indicated that the parcel was zoned C-2 in 1999.
Joe Wichowski, 211 Homer, stated that he presented information last month, with 26 signatures
from 26 families opposing the request. He stated that on the southwest corner there is currently
Mr. Z's Ice Cream and a small office complex with commercial property behind that. The
applicant is proposing to go 1/4 mile further down the road into an area surrounded by homes. He
feels there is a lot of other vacant land that can be considered.
Mrs. Wichowski asked if the rezoning should have anything to do with the business. Supervisor
Elliott stated that the rezoning runs with the land and another business could come in at a later
date that meets the zoning requirements.
Mr. Voorheis asked where the restaurant would be located on the parcel. The applicant stated
that they have had a topographical survey done to determine where to place the restaurant. They
will use 1.5 to 2 acres.
Supervisor Elliott added that landscaping could be required to screen the restaurant from the
neighbors. Attorney Need stated that restrictions could be put on this location.
Mr. Wichowski is concerned with the liquor license that the restaurant will have. Mrs. Morgan-
Hall noted that Dobski's is family dining and would not draw in a "bar crowd".
Clerk Burkard stated that the residents chose to live on a main thoroughfare and should expect
commercial property. She feels Dobski's coming in is a blessing to what else could come into the
spot.
Supervisor Elliott stated that a letter was received from Mulligan's supporting the rezoning.

White Lake, MI 48383
RE: Environmental Infrastructure Fund Distributions Update
Dear Clerk Burkard:
Fiscal Year 2003, marks the fifth and final year of the widely successful Environmental
Infrastructure Fund program. The Oakland County Board of Commissioners approved this 5-
year, $25 million program in 1999, to assist our local communities by reimbursing them for the
costs of eligible water and sewer projects.
The Charter Township of White Lake was eligible to receive an annual allocation of
$94,650.95 from the Environmental Infrastructure Fund. If your community chose to utilize
the optional accelerated payment schedule, the 5-year total allocation of $473,254.75 has been
discounted.
As of October 1, 2002, County records indicate that Environmental Infrastructure Fund
reimbursements totaling $473,254.75 remain available to the Charter Township of White
Lake. Your community has not requested reimbursement for Fiscal Years 1999 through 2003.
Please note that cities, villages and townships must submit their requests for reimbursement
from the Environmental Infrastructure Fund by August I, 2003. The requests should include: a
resolution from your legislative board or council that identifies the project, a letter requesting
reimbursement for the costs incurred and a copy of paid invoices.
If you have any questions regarding the Environmental Infrastructure Fund reimbursement
process, please contact Tim Soave, Manager, Fiscal Services at 248.858.0807.
Sincerely,
1-ek,

MEMORANDUM
To: Paul Shearlock, Water Department Manager
From: Ole Anderson, PE
Subject: Aspen Meadows
Cost to Upsize from 12" to 16" Watermain
Ref: J&A 14453
Date: July 16, 2001
In the Water System Capacity Agreement with JFK Investment signed on 2-23-00, paragraph
3. indicated that "The Water Board agrees to pay for the expansion and enlargement of the
proposed backup well for the Aspen Meadows Water System from a 12" to a 16" well,
including the extension of the pipeline to the south from 12" to 16". The Water Board's
Obligation shall not exceed $25,000.00.". Wording is not specific as to the southerly
connection point.
We calculate that 1182 feet of 16" watermain were installed as well as two 16" gate valves in
lieu of 12" gate valves. Unit pricing provided to this office in the Aspen Meadows contract
with DiPonio and Morelli, the underground contractor were as follows:
•
16" watermain
12" watermain
16" gate valve & well
12" gate valve & well
$ 36.35 per foot
$ 27.20 per foot
$4,981.00 each
$2,962.00 each
Extending the difference in the unit prices times the quantities installed results in an
expenditure by Aspen Meadows of $14,853.30 more than if the 12" main and valves had been
installed.
The reason for paying for upsizing the second well was to provide for future capacity, however
the second well did not produce any more water than did the existing 12" well due to screen
capacity.

Well Head Protection
RESOLUTION
Whereas, the Township of White lake recognizes it's Groundwater Supply as a natural resource:
and
Whereas, it is within the responsibility of the Township as a Public Water Supplier, to consider
the health, safety, and welfare of it's customers; and
Whereas, groundwater contamination can and does occur as a consequence of a variety of land
use activities; and
Whereas, it is desirable to preserve and protect the quantity and quality of our groundwater
resources to assure a continued safe, adequate, and useable supply, now and in the future; and
Whereas, the protection of current and potential future sources of groundwater is worthwhile
from the standpoint of resource protection.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the White Lake Township Board of Trustees hereby directs
the Township Supervisor to establish the Wellhead Protection Committee to develop White
Lake Township Wellhead Protection Plan in compliance and implement with all present State
and (or) Federal Well Head Protection Guidelines.
Approved;

WATER BOARD MEETING, APRIL 12, 2000 PAGE 4
Doug Chapman of 8333 Elizabeth Lake Rd stated his concern was that the promise was
made for a reduction when the White Lake Marketplace was proposed. Mr. Chapman
stated they haven't seen that reduction.
Forrest Ogg of 8271 Elizabeth Lake Rd stated he would like the reduction to happen now
because that's what was promised.
MOTION by Smith, supported by Bladdick to hold a public hearing no later than the
second week of May 2000, to receive comments from residents on the water tower
surcharge for a reduction or to stay the same.
Motion carried.
ORDINANCE 22 CHANGES IN SECTION 2.11
Chairperson Smith brought the Board up to date on the ordinance changes that have been
discussed so far. This item had been to the Township Board for review at their last
meeting. Attorney Need made a point which was, to show how to calculate the surcharge
and the Water Board should change it to show that the surcharge is done by resolution.
The Township Board wants the Water Board to get back to them before their May 2,
2000, meeting because the resolution will be on that meeting agenda as well as the land
purchase.
MOTION by Bladdick, supported by Brendel to accept the Capital Surcharge due at time
of application for water permit schedule as printed, dated 4/12/00.
Motion carried.
WATER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN
Ole Anderson explained that he had made a proposal to the Water Board to come up with
a 10 year look at the water requirements as required by MDEQ. MDEQ is looking for
that sort of a plan to be on file in the Township.
With the Water Boards input and the information from the master plan that has recently
been adopted by the Township in conjunction with information from the sanitary sewer
master plan determining what the Township needs to be looking at.
Mr. Newman asked Ole if this proposal was going to cost $15,000 the answer was yes;
Paul Shearlock informed Mr. Newman that there was $15,000 in the budget for this year.
Smith asked if this was going to handle what the state requires from the township,
because he was aware the state was asking for a master plan of some sort. Ole informed
the board that they have already sent the MDEQ an updated map of where we were at this
point, along with a report showing existing users, potential capacity and so on. And in
that report it does indicate that by 2001 we will be maxed out on capacity. Smith asked
that given the growth the township is having are we going far enough with
WATER BOARD MEETING, APRIL 12, 2000, PAGE 5
this so later we won't be so we don't wish we did something later. Smith also informed
the board that he had talked to Bonnie Elliott regarding the township possibly paying half
of the $15,600 fee because it was also in the best interest of the township and she didn't
see a problem with it, Brendel asked Ole if this was a township requirement from the
State or a Water Board requirement. Ole answered it was a State requirement but the
Township needs a plan to work against and the state looks at them as being one in the
same. Newman felt there were a lot of things that could happen in the next 2 years that
could slow down development and he felt it was a waste of $15,000.
MOTION by Brendel, supported by Smith to adopt Johnson and Anderson's proposal for
the professional engineering services regarding the Water System Master Plan.
Motion carried.
Newman opposed.
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION FEE WORKSHEET
Chairperson Smith held a brief discussion and read an overview of the connection fee.
Chairperson Smith also relayed to the Board that a resident had approached him
regarding possibly landscaping the area around the water tower.
MOTION by Brendel, supported by Krupa to adjourn tonight's meeting.
Motion carried.
