8-26-21 By now you should have gotten a letter or several if you own more that one tax key# in the Eagle Creek Farm #4 Drainage district of Racine County. We tried, but we lost the court battle for the annexation of the subdivision and the Town of Dover. For the smaller sized lots that are less than 1 acre, your assessments will be $63.60 each yr for 5 yr term. Till the next assessment... If you have more than 1 tax key # with adjacent properties you can combine them to save you costs on each one. The County can help you with this by doing a quit claim deed to combine (only) adjacent properties into 1 tax key #. If you are going to do this you better do it before they get the tax rolls out so by the end Sept/ begining of Oct, you should have it recorded if you are going to do it. (This does not work for the Association lot fees- the Bylaws & Articles state by the plat from 30's) There will be a hearing on Sept 14th @7PM at the Ives Grove building right off Hwy 20 & I-94, if you have any questions. I would suggest you go. They are setting the amount of $752,500 for the total amount of the assessment for the 5 years. They stated at the August 19th meeting they will be starting bank repairs & dredging of the creek by the lake 1st. They have no plans at this time to do anything with the lateral that has been broken since the 80's in our subdivision... We have to make sure they put this on the next assessment to really be getting any benefit for our subdivision.

Its been about 10 Yrs since we have had a price increase for the Sewer rates. Due to the lift stations being about 43 Yrs old it is time to update, the DNR is putting on the pressure also. So the project is going cost $4,725,400. They have applied for a Clean Water funding and Town of Dover will be receiving $423,080.22 from the American Rescue plan Act (ARPA) of 2021. There are restriction on what it can be spent on and Dover is working what funds can and will be used for. With a possible 15% forgivness of $708,810 the loan would be $3,216,590. which will bring the Sewer rates up to $140 per Qrt instead of the $100 per Qrt we pay now. If you have further questions please contact ELUSD.
It seems that we are getting complaints from neighbors against other neighbors for being inconsiderate things to other neighbors. Please be considerate of others that you live by.
Just a reminder that bills have been out for 6 months if you are on the payment plan please pay your 2nd half of your water bill & If you have not paid anything on your water bill or lot fees from the last billing cycle, we will be putting liens on at the court house soon & If you are delinquent on your water bill we will be doing shut offs soon as well.
We are looking to do a movie in the park Saturday May 29th, (Memorial Day Weekend) We are looking for movie recommendations. We would like to do a kids movie first than maybe a PG movie after that.

Update: The Hearing for the Racine County Drainage Board Annexation Was last week. The Engineer fully admitted that they were not benefiting us in the subdivision. The hearing was to vote on the maps and specifications that were suppose to be available to us on their website, at the town hall and the county. None of that was done and we had 5 mins to look the maps over. The maps are now at the County and the Town hall if anyone would like to look them over. The DATCP person was at this meeting and saw what is happening. We are moving forward with our plans. We have also been asked to add Eagle Lake Tributary to our website (under the Association Documents). I wish I had a set of plans to put up on this site, but we were not given them.

We had a short window of time to get this in. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me or a board member. We hope that the drainage district shares their proof (engineering reports, that we have been asking for from day 1) of us benefiting our community, finally. We feel that it is not a benefit and that it is not helping us what so ever. Please share with your neighbors and let them know we are on the agenda for the Town of Dover on their next meeting July 8th. Hope you can make it and show support for being against the County Drainage District. The Town Board needs to know that its Town Members are not happy with the Drainage District and we would like to have the Town take this over and away from the current County Drainage District. We will also be filling a Petition to have the County Drainage District elected officials no longer appointed. (Taxation without representation) especially with DATCP not being able to approve or disapprove of the annexation due to the State Statue they filled under. Contact your local elected officials, Robin Voss, Van Wanggaard offices.
