STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS MARLON |. BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR Section 4: Explain the Reason for this Appeal The Assessment Methodology and resulting apportionment is unjust and inequitable. | do not agree my property will gain benefit from the special assessment, in fact, part of this project is disconnecting an illicit pipe that have been using my property without any easement plus damages in the form of it creating and sustaining a wetland area of over 1 acre. Also, the method of assessment at the highest rate (commercial as if it has 70% of impermeable surface, when it only has 15%.) Then tripled as if it is fully improved so that less than 3.37 acres is treated as 7.08 acres and then taxed at the highest rate has resulted in an extremely high assessment/apportionment ($9,507.03) plus the damages to correct issues that are no fault or benefit to my property. Additionally, the Drain Commissioner hid from the entire community and over 400 stakeholders as to the scope and cost and methodology until they blindsided everyone with apportionment letters and causing panic and hardship. At that point, it was too late to learn and respond effectively. Truly a travesty! Section 5: Jurisdictional Issues Did you protest the special assessment at the hearing held to confirm the special assessment roll? Yes [| No If Yes, what was the date of the hearing held to confirm the special assessment roll? 05-13-25 & 6/4/2025 If No, explain: Fee Information: A fee of $100.00 is required for the filing of a Special Assessment Appeal.

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.
