​​​

WATER:  Water to your unit should be turned off at any time you are gone more than 24 hours. Any water connection that is leaking should be turned off and fixed immediately. If there is an issue with the spigot itself, contact the park manager for repair. 

​

SEWER:  DO NOT place items down your sink or toilet drains, other than toilet paper.  Do not flush things such as "flushable" wipes, baby wipes, feminine products, grease, etc., doing so causes clogging and makes it more costly to maintain our sewer system.

​

BATHHOUSES / RESTROOMS:   No pets are allowed in the bathhouse, restrooms, etc.  Please monitor your children (under 18) at all times, they should not be in these common areas unattended.

​

GAS (PROPANE) LEAKS:    Please note there have been several emergencies concerning gas leaks.  Please have your propane tanks and lines checked periodically for leaks.  If you buy propane from Forward Energy, they require safety checks.  If you smell gas, handle the matter immediately for everyone’s safety.  Propane should be turned off when you are away from your unit for any time exceeding 24 hours.

​

AED's:  The AED's have been moved to their outside cases at the clubhouse and front office.

​

SPEED BUMPS:  Speed bumps will be placed in for the summer season the week following the Memorial Day holiday.  The campground speed limit is 5 MPH, please be sure to always follow this.  ​

​​

​PARKING:  We have been notified that the fire department will be through the park numerous times throughout the year.  Please be sure that you are abiding by the campground parking regulations.  Regulations are to be at a minimum of 2' off the road and away from any structure and 2' within your units property line.  Most property lines are not at the road, but several feet within; where your pins for your lot lines are.  See the parking rules further down.

​

SPEEDING:  The speed limit within the entire park is 5MPH, this includes all vehicles including electronic bikes and scooters.  Bikes, scooters, etc., should be traveling the same direction as motor vehicles to help stop accidents.  The Board continues to receive complaints regarding speeding.  The campground speed limit is 5mph, please abide by this for the safety of all.  

​

GARBAGE:  Trash bins are open - leaves need to be bagged and in appropriate brown bags. Tree branches must be bundled – 18 inches or less in length – no lawn bags for tree branches.  Place lawn bags next to the fish station in between garbage dumpsters (no dirt - flowers, weeds that hold dirt, pots, gloves or plastic trays).  Any large item(s), furniture, appliances, carpet, construction materials, boat shrink wrap/covers, etc. are the responsibility of the owner to be taken to a local dump or donated.  Please break down all cardboard boxes, etc.  Overflow of the dumpsters results in additional charges.  NO items are to be placed by or near the front dumpsters. 

​

LAUNDRY:  Don't over load the machines, this causes them to break.  We have had Coles Appliance out numerous times to repair both the washers and dryers.  If you have large loads or comforters, it is recommended to use the laundry in town.

​​

CAMPGROUND RULES:  Please review the campground rules under the forms and bylaws for more information regarding fireworks, pets, campfires, quiet hours, etc.  There were numerous complaints regarding campground rules not being followed such as bikes being rode on the walking paths and boardwalk, fireworks within the park, items and garbage being left on the beach, trash not being broken down, marijuana smoked off co-owners own property, and speeding, etc.  Please review and follow the campground rules (posted under the Forms and Bylaws tab) and Michigan State laws.

​

SELLING YOUR PROPERTY/UNIT: Please notify the Board of your intent to sell your property/lot/unit and when the sale is completed.  This allows the Board to obtain official documents reflecting the change in ownership (which needs to be on file) and billing assessments to the new co-owner.  NOTE:  inquiries to the Board for anyone selling within the campground are requested all the time, this may be a great option for you so be sure to advise the Board of your intentions to sell to make those connections.  When notifying the Board of your intent to sell, please advise if you would like your contact information provided to anyone interested in your sale.  Co-owner contact information, will not be released without permission.  As an Owner, it is YOUR responsibility to disclose to potential buyers any issues, including violations, and any compliance issues (survey) that must be met currently or in the future per EGLE, AHCCA By-laws, resolutions, rules and regulations.  You cannot own a river boat slip without owning a Lot within the campground.

​

ARCHITECTURAL FORMS:  The State of Michigan requires all buildings, additions, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing to have a permit and inspection of the work performed; also to comply with the zoning rules for the location.  The State requires the county and township perform these tasks and ensure the Code is followed.  Homeowners can perform the work on their property and pull required permits. Contractors must perform the work and pull permits on non-homeowners’ property.

These permits are issued by the code authorities and have a fee associated with them.

 

Through the AHCCA  Architectural form, AuSable township allows our Park, by law, to issue the internal permit to ensure State code and State campground park rules are followed for repair, maintenance and placement.  They are allowed access to these forms when requested.  There are no fees for this method.  Inspections are performed by Board members.  Rules for placement and all methods of construction or repair are followed per State campground laws (EGLE).  

 

The architectural form is required for any placement, installations or repairs on your property. Examples would be roofs, HVAC, additions, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, cement.  AHCCA follows these guidelines because it is the Law in the State of Michigan.  Therefore, architectural forms must be submitted and approval received from the Board prior to any placement, changes, additions, repairs, etc. to your unit.   Please provide the Board with the form at least 10 days prior to the expected start date.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

COMPLAINTS/PARK ISSUES:  All complaints or park issues must be documented in writing and given/sent to a Board Member or you can use the owners form on this webpage under the Forms & Bylaws tab (on the bottom of the page) and it will be electronically sent to the Board.  All complaints are kept in strongest confidentiality amongst the board only, will be looked into by the Board and a response given back to the co-owner.  We continue to "hear" complaints through out the park, but they must be documented in order to get to a resolution, this would include issues with pets off leashes, co-owners not cleaning up after themselves, blight issues, maintenance that may be needed within the park, etc.

 

SECURITY:  If you see something unusual, out of place or broken, including threatening or violent behavior towards any person or property, please let the Park Manager know, and/or dial 911 if perceived urgent.
