BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR Section 4: Explain the Reason for this Appeal We are incorrectly being assessed for cape seal of what the City of Birmingham refers to as an "unimproved road" with residents responsible for 85% of the cost when: 1) Based on the city's own 2021 Ad Hoc Unimproved Street Study Committee report (AHUSSC): "if the local road being improved is more of a collector, serves more than one neighborhood, or has a large amount of pass through traffic, then the percentage of charge| is typically reduced to between 50% and 75%. a) AHUSSC report defines traffic counts > 1000 daily cars as high traffic. b) City's own traffic count data indicates Northlawn Boulevard to have in excess of 2,280 cars daily. 2) Based on city's own images / documentation provided to residents, Northlawn Boulevard appears to meet the qualification of an asphalt, or improved road whereby residents would be responsible for 0% of the cost for maintenance. a) FOIA evidence from the County of Oakland indicates that Northlawn Boulevard to be an asphalt, improved road. Ws least 3 different images from 3 different areas of Northlawn indicate asphalt (improved road) surfaces of up to 7 inches in thickness.
