Stone Oak HOA -- Goose Control
Posted on May 10th, 2021
UPDATE:5/10/21
Just a friendly reminder to everyone, that we are still addling and oiling Canada Geese eggs to prevent the young goslings from hatching this year. To date, we have addled eggs in 21 nests along the the shorelines of Lost Lake and Sand Lake. On average, each nest contained 6-7 eggs. if the goslings would have hatched, there would have been 120 young birds feeding on turf grass along the shorelines. it would have developed into a real health hazard for Stone Oak. The nests can still be addled until the permit expires on June 1st. Please help the Maintenance crew by searching your property and report any new nests to them. The Canada Goose is persistent and can build a second nest nearby. Please DO NOT destroy the nest on your property, because the geese will just lay new eggs nearby up to June 1st and beyond. if this is not successful, we will be forced to have a round-up in June. This will entail applying for a permit through the ODNR and contacting a contractor to do the round-up. This will allow for a more manageable Canada Goose population at Stone oak. The Maintenance Deptmt. initially indicated that a $100 fee would be charged to the homeowner having a nest on their property, it was later determined that this was a community problem and there should be no charge for this service. Thank you to Bob Radachi and his team for the hard work put into this huge project.
As a reminder, please do not feed the geese. Bread is harmful to them and encourages them to stay. Thank you to all for your cooperation on this project
~~~
As you might know, we have a Canada Geese problem in the Stone Oak community (over-population). The number of these birds has increased dramatically within the last few years and poses a health hazard to the community. This is why the Stone Oak Country Cub and the two Stone Oak HOA's have purchased a border colllie. This trained dog chases the adult birds from the property.
It has been somewhat successful however, additional measures must be taken to further control the current population from expanding to a larger number. Hence, there is a need to disrupt the nesting of the adult geese within the development. This spring the Stone Oak Maintenance Department, obtained a permit from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources --- Wildlife Division to disrupt any nesting of the Canada Geese here at Stone Oak. If these nesting birds are allowed to hatch their eggs, then the goslings with their families are here to stay till they can fly (midsummer) creating an unhealthy situation in our lakes, ponds, and on our shorelines. in addition to this dilemma, the young juveniles return to the same property next year to nest, increasing our current number to a larger overall bird population.
We will not harm the adult birds, however, we will take certain measures approved by the ODNR to prevent the eggs from hatching. We only have the permit for one season, however this type of population control will definitely prevent the geese population from increasing to an unmanageable flock.
if this is unsuccessful, then the goose round-up will be inevitable in June. The price for this type of goose control could be rather expensive. in order to improve our goose control program. i am asking for assistance, if you see a nesting goose on your property, please contact us so that we can do our part to control our bird population.
if you have any questions/concerns/comments, please contact Bob Radachi, Director of Grounds at Stone Oak Country Club at bob@stoneoakcc.com or call him at 419-867-0969.

Reappraisal of Permanent Base for Maintenance Assessments
Posted on Mar 21st, 2021
Stone Oak homeowners will receive a Notice for an April 13, 2021 hearing on the Lucas County Engineer's Reappraisal of the costs for maintenance for the subdivision's drainage infrastructure. This relates to the maintenance of the required drainage ponds throughout the subdivision, of which there are nine. The former maintenance base value stated on your form was created in 1989 when the subdivision opened for construction of private homes. Since that time, only one minor maintenance project in 2010 has been conducted. Recently, the deteriorating condition of stone of the ponds was brought to the attention of the Lucas County Engineers, resulting in their need to re-evaluate potential repair costs in 2020 dollars. The revised maintenance base value stated on your form represents a hypothetical number based on worst case scenario. if the drainage system for the entire subdivision needs to be replaced or restructured. The Lucas County Engineer applied an inflation rate of 2.5% per year from 1989 to 2020 to reach the estimated amount. It is anticipated that much less will be required, but, as yet, a survey for each pond has not yet been undertaken. When the surveys are concluded, the required repairs and/or restructuring completed and the total cost ascertained, the total will be split 1/3 to the Country Club and 2/3 to all residential lot owners, resulting in a pro-rata share for each residential lot owner of 0.11%. The assessment will be included in the following year's tax bill. Article 5.3 of the Stone Oak Deed of Restrictions provides that all residential lots and the golf course lots are subject to drainage maintenance assessments, the amount and the method of assessment to be determined by the Lucas County Engineer.
The Homeowners' Association Board encourages you to attend the electronic hearing scheduled for Tuesday, April 13, 2021 at 2 PM, the details of which are available on the link at http://co.lucas.oh.us/calender.aspx
Thank you,
