The Harrison Township Board of Trustees on March 23 adopted two resolutions to begin a special assessment district (SAD) process for repaving Pointe Rosa Street.
Clerk Adam Wit said residents submitted petitions signed by property owners representing more than 50% of the frontage, meeting the threshold under Act 188, Public Acts of Michigan, 1954. Treasurer Lawrence Tomenello moved to adopt Resolution No. 1, which the Board approved unanimously, asking the township engineer to prepare plans and cost estimates for the project.
The proposed work calls for crushing and reshaping the existing pavement to create a new base and placing a new 4-inch asphalt surface, along with drainage improvements and driveway patching where needed. The clerk’s materials estimate the total assessed cost to residents at $441,424.00 for 33 lots (approximately $13,376.48 per lot) with an estimated annual payment of $2,006.47; the final assessed cost will be based on actual construction and miscellaneous costs.
Resolution No. 2, also adopted unanimously, sets the first public hearing on the SAD for the Board’s April 27, 2026 meeting at 7:00 p.m. at Rosso Hall, 38255 L’Anse Creuse. The resolution directs the Clerk to mail notice to affected property owners and publish notice twice in a local newspaper and explains that protesting at the hearing is required to preserve the right to appeal an assessment to the State Tax Tribunal.
If the Board proceeds after the hearing, the engineer’s plans and the estimate will be filed with the Clerk and made available for public inspection before assessments are finalized. The Board’s action does not itself confirm a final assessed amount or schedule of payments; both will follow after bids and final cost calculations.
Next steps: township engineer prepares plans and cost estimates; public hearing on April 27, 2026. If the Board confirms the special assessment roll after the hearing, property owners will have 30 days after confirmation to seek review at the State Tax Tribunal, provided they protested at the hearing.
