Fall Yard Clean-up
Burning of leaves and yard debris is not permitted by Scio Township in our subdivision. Open burning in Webster Township requires a burn permit; but leaf burning has not been an accepted practice in Loch Alpine for a long time, for air quality reasons. Please remove leaves and debris from ditches, and clear as much debris as possible from culverts adjacent to your lot. This will help proper drainage and reduce water and ice on our streets.
No dumping of yard waste material is allowed on any LA property, such as around the lakes and natural areas.
Yard waste may be placed in large, craft/paper bags or loose in your own, reusable container with a "yard waste" or "compost" sticker on the container. Please do not tape yard bags -- fold them closed or leave them open at the top. Priority Waste will also pick up properly bundled branches no thicker than 3 inches in diameter tied in bundles no greater than 4 feet in length and 18 inches in diameter. The last day of yard waste pick-up in Loch Alpine will be December 10.
Don't like bagging leaves? Consider mulching or shredding leaves and raking it back into the grass, into garden and flower beds, and scattering it around the roots and stems of plants.

Slurry Seal Scheduled

Security Tips
Lately, there has been a rash of larcenies from automobiles in Dexter neighborhoods. This kind of "crime of opportunity" reminds all of us to be careful.
Residents who have been bothered by this activity may find it useful to keep a front porch light on, or install a motion-actuated light. Doorbell cameras have become fairly affordable, if you want more security. And parents, please pass the word to your children who may be out and about at night to watch out for "knock, knock, run" behavior.

An Open Letter to Dog Owners
Most of you leash your dogs while walking them on Loch Alpine streets, parks and pathways. The entire Loch Alpine community thanks you for being law-abiding and courteous in this way.
To those who sometimes take your dog off leash, we have a short but earnest request: Please don’t. Even good dogs need to be leashed at all times.
Respectfully yours,
The Loch Alpine Board of Directors

LOCH ALPINE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION LOCH ALPINE AWARD
The Loch Alpine Award was established by the Loch Alpine Improvement Association to recognize a person or persons who have demonstrated Exemplary efforts, Commitment and Dedication to the Loch Alpine Community.
In recognition and appreciation of her exemplary efforts for the community, the Loch Alpine Board has selected Janet Torno for the 2024 Loch Alpine Award. She has generously donated her time welcoming Loch Alpine newcomers for many years. With a greeting card and a call, a home visit to present a LA Welcoming Mug and making sure they have received the Newcomers Welcome Package, Janet provides information that new residents should know about living in our neighborhood. She answers questions they may have and offers suggestions based on her many years enjoying living here and also being very active in both Ann Arbor and University of Michigan life. Her spouse, Randy, was a recipient of the award in 2019.
Thank you, Janet!
The Loch Alpine Improvement Association is proud to have honored recipients of the Loch Alpine Award since 2001 (prior to 2013, the award was designated the Sendra Award). The previous recipients can be found here.
