Parke Lake residents unite

A group of Parke Lake residents may soon be officially joining forces to address lake concerns.
An informational meeting to discuss the possibility of lake residents forming a lake board will be held Thursday, March 20 at Independence Township Fire Station #1.
“We’re looking to see if people who live in Parke Lake and those who live around Parke Lake are interested in forming a lake association,” Parke Lake resident Dave McCarty said. “It’s just an informational meeting. If we do have interest, we’ll see what financial resources are out there.”
The March 20 meeting is the second in as many months for lake residents. On Feb. 3, about 40 lake residents voiced their concern to a pipe being built across their property that would result in untreated storm water being filtered from Clarkston Road directly into Parke Lake
At the Feb. 10 City Council meeting, Gary Tressel of Hubbell, Roth and Clark, the city’s engineering firm, announced HRC would modify its plan for the water pipe east of Main Street on Clarkston Road, eliminating a piece of the pipe lying underground on Clarkston Road.
