NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSED BLUEBERRY LANE PUBLIC ROADWAY
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
ANN ARBOR CHARTER TOWNSHIP, WASHTENAW COUNTY, MICHIGAN
TO: RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS OF ANN ARBOR CHARTER TOWNSHIP AND ANY OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS:
As authorized by Act 188 of 1954, as amended (“Act 188”), and in response to a request by property owners, the Township Board proposes to establish the Blueberry Lane Public Roadway Special Assessment District (“District”) for the costs of public roadway improvements. The Estimate of the cost per parcel of the project to be paid by the property owners within the District is $230,000. The proposed Blueberry Lane Public Roadway Special Assessment District is described in the attached map and list of parcel identification numbers.
The Township Board has received the Plans showing the Improvements and their location, and the Estimate of Costs, and has placed them on file with the Township Clerk. The Plans indicate that the total Estimate of Costs for the Improvements is $230,000. It is anticipated that funding will be as follows:
- 90% from special assessment of property owners within the District ($207,000)
- 10% from the Ann Arbor Charter Township general fund ($23,000)
Pursuant to Act 188, the Washtenaw County Road Commission (“WCRC”) has indicated its approval of the Plans, Improvements and Estimate of Costs, and it is expected that the WCRC will agree that it will undertake all contracting, inspection and engineering services related to the Improvements.
The Board has passed a Resolution tentatively declaring its intention to make the Improvements and to establish the Blueberry Lane Public Roadway Special Assessment District.
The Plans, Estimate of Costs, and proposed Blueberry Lane Public Roadway Special Assessment District may be examined at the office of the Township Clerk during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, from the date of this notice until the public hearing, and may also be examined at the hearing.
A public hearing on the Plans, the Improvements, the Blueberry Lane Public Roadway Special Assessment District and Estimate of Costs will be held on May 20, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. at the Ann Arbor Charter Township Hall, 3792 Pontiac Trail, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105. The public can also participate in the meeting online.
At the hearing, the Township Board will consider any written objections and comments filed with the Board at or before the hearing, and any objections or comments raised at the hearing. At the hearing (or any adjournment of the hearing which may be made without further notice), the Township Board may correct or change the Plans, Estimate of Costs, or the Blueberry Lane Public Roadway Special Assessment District.
If the Township Board decides to proceed with the Blueberry Lane Public Roadway Special Assessment District, a special assessment roll will be prepared and another hearing will be held after notice to record owners of property proposed to be specially assessed, to hear public comments concerning the proposed Blueberry Lane Public Roadway Special Assessment.
All interested people are invited to be present at the hearing, in person or by representative, and to submit comments about the proposal. Written protest at or before the public hearing is required in order to appeal from a decision of the Township Board. For further information on rights to appeal, please review the provisions of the applicable statutes, including Act 188 of 1954, as amended.
