  • $10 annual fee for subdivisions 15-18 (retention ponds fee)
    Posted on: 2008-05-08
    Yes, this is a valid charge and needs to be paid immediately to avoid a late charge. A letter went to 171 people in 4 of Diamond Ridge subdivisions: 15-18. It seems that the city is charging these residents on their electric bills and through this home owner's assoc. Dewitz Builders is being held responsible for maintaining the retention ponds, therefore, creating the home owner's assoc and charging each of the 171 residents $10/year. They have to mow and clean the area around the ponds and every 15 yrs or so, will need to clean the ponds. The $10 is due upon receipt. The city does credit for commercial ponds, but not residential ponds. This information about the $10 homeowner assoc. charge is recorded on everyone's abstracts. If you have further questions, please contact Diamond Ridge Homeowner Association, Julie Leisen, 604 11th Ave NW, Rochester, MN 55901, (507) 282-4624.
