STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS MARLON I. BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR Section 4: Explain the Reason for this Appeal | do not agree my property will gain value from the special assessment. The gross acreage amount was factually overstated and also overstated due to a 1.19 acre wetland created by| MDOT illicit water dumping. The extremely complex assessment methodology is not equitable. The multipliers are excessive and punitive and maxed out on this property. The benefiting municipalities are not paying an equitable share. Costs to correct MDOT Roadway illicit water dumping onto this property without any rights to do so should be their sole cost and not part of this project. The public, landowners in the Tonkin Drain District and this property owner were deprived a basic right of due process and discovery of the project scope, growth in cost, and funding apportionment methodology that changed drastically from the original Determination of Need. What was estimated in 2019 to be a $7, 000 cost was suddenly surprise billed in early May 2025 at roughly $21,000 with no details. Section 5: Jurisdictional Issues Did you protest the special assessment at the hearing held to confirm the special assessment roll? [M] Yes [| No If Yes, what was the date of the hearing held to confirm the special assessment roll? 05-13-25 If No, explain: Fee Information: A fee of $100.00 is required for the filing of a Special Assessment Appeal, Signature srequres GIL RBRT.
