BOCOVINA ENTRANCE TREE BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT OVERVIEW
UNION LAKE ENTRANCE ON MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 23
Please Avoid This Area
PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Bocovina HOA Board has decided to proceed with Option # 2 on the Entrance Tree
Removal portion only. We are not removing and replacing the first 150' linear feet of the
subdivision entrance on Union Lake Rd. due to high costs from White Lake Townships'
excessive replanting requirements. By holding off on this front portion, we will save
approximately $31,000 to $40,000 on removal & new plantings. We will, however, be
removing the dead trees on the islands (Moldovia Dr. and Dacea Ct.), any trees interfering
with power lines, the dead maple tree on entrance island, and the rest of the dead trees
lining the Carpathian Dr. entrance up to the intersection of the Condos & Homesites. This is
approximately 76 trees in total. New plantings to replace these entrance trees and
damaged island trees will commence in May of 2025.
The timeline for removal is Monday September 23, 2024, at approximately 7:30 AM. Tree
removal should be completed by the end of that same day - allowing for Tuesday
September 24, 2024, for any additional stump grinding and cleanup.
While traffic flow will not be impeded at the Union Lake Rd entrance, we recommend
utilizing the Williams Lake Rd. entrance (Thru Autumn Glen) during the tree removal work.
On Carpathian Dr., we will have a flag man, a Board representative and Tree Committee
volunteers onsite during the process.
For your safety, we are requesting that all people (and their pets) stay away from the work
area until the work is complete.
