Re: 

MTT Docket No. 24-004037 

 

Dear Mr. & Mrs. McCready: 

 

The Michigan Tax Tribunal has received your second Motion for Reconsideration, filed 

on December 17, 2024, requesting reconsideration of the dismissal of this case. TTR 

257(1) provides that a motion for reconsideration of any decision or order may be “filed 

within 21 days of the entry of the decision or order sought to be reheard or 

reconsidered.” Your Motion is precluded because the Tribunal’s rule does not provide 

for the filing of multiple motions for reconsideration. Additionally, the Tribunal’s rule 

regarding reconsideration mirrors the applicable Michigan Court Rule, MCR 2.119(F), 

and the Michigan Court of Appeals has, likewise, held that the court rule does not 

provide for the filing of multiple motions for reconsideration.1 

 

As such, your only recourse is to appeal the Tribunal’s [order or decision] to the 

Michigan Court of Appeals. If you have any questions regarding this or any other 

Tribunal matter, please contact me at the Tribunal. 

 

Respectfully, 

 

 

 

Samantha Maria Snow Welton 

Chief Clerk

MTT Docket No. 24-004037 

 

Tuscarora Township, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent. 

 

Joshua M. Wease 

 

ORDER DENYING PETITIONERS’ MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 

 

On November 14, 2024, Petitioners filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal 

reconsider the Order of Dismissal (order) entered in this case on November 13, 2024. 

In the motion, Petitioners state that the initial filing was made within 35 days of the 

special assessment roll confirmation date and that the Tribunal erred in finding that the 

assessment was subject to a 30-day appeal period. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that, as indicated in 

the motion, MCL 211.746 controls the timeframe for the filing of a special assessment 

petition to the Tribunal. The Tribunal has no equitable power to waive or otherwise 

disregard a statutory filing deadline, and as a result, it has no authority to grant 

Petitioners the relief requested.1 

 

Given the above, Petitioners have failed to demonstrate a palpable error relative to the 

order that misled the Tribunal and the parties and that would have resulted in a different 

disposition if the error was corrected.2 Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioners’ Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED. 

 

This Order resolves all pending claims in this matter and closes this case. 

 

APPEAL RIGHTS 

 

If you disagree with the final decision in this case, you may file a claim of appeal with 

the Michigan Court of Appeals. If the claim is filed within 21 days of the entry of the final 

decision, it is an “appeal of right.” If the claim is filed more than 21 days after the entry 

of the final decision, it is an “appeal by leave.” A copy of the claim of appeal must be 

filed with the Tribunal to certify the record on appeal. There is no certification fee.

| am again requesting you as Chairman of the pending sewer project and associates to 

review the following subjects in your scheduled Feb 06, 2023 "Sewer progress meeting” 

based on recent Dec 31, 2023 PEI drawing and engineering changes submitted to EGLE 

by PEI for permitting. (attached) after Nov 16, 2023, 

The three (3) A.B.&C. subjects that were outlined in my letter of Nov 06, 2023 were 

(A) relocation and now requested elimination of lift station PS200 

(B) Individual underground drilling GP SSFM stations @ tag #135,136 connecting to 

the 4” SSFM on Constance Ave. eliminating all gravity SAN and CCRC AASHTO 

certified road work. No easements required 

(C) Individual underground drilling GP SSFM stations 

@ tag # 138 -146 connecting to 

The 4” SSFM on Arthur Street eliminating all gravity SAN and CCRC AASHTO 

certified road work. No easements required 

The PS200 pump lift station has been moved and does not conform to the 100 

ft. EGLE isolation 

and is still located in the the ingess DRIVE LOCATON of 6290 Arthur as noted on the 

latest 12-31-2023 drawings that | have been submitted to EGLE and Permitted Site Plan, 

zoning permit PZ23-0012, SP-01. 

The optional location of the PS200 pump lift station @ Lot 5, Block 1 & ROW ( 100 ft.) was 

thought to be better however the limited ROW space between Arthur asphalt and property line 

is only 2/3 ft. from the existing Arthur asphalt roadway. (attached drawing).

Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

 MTT Docket No. 24-004037

Township Of Tuscarora,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that:

The petition as not filed within 30 days after the confirmation of the special assessment 

roll. See MCL 211.746. 

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the case is DISMISSED.

This Order resolves all pending issues and closes the case.

APPEAL RIGHTS

If you disagree with the final decision in this case, you may file a motion for 

reconsideration with the Tribunal or a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of 

Appeals. 

A motion for reconsideration must be filed with the Tribunal with the required filing fee 

within 21 days from the date of entry of the final decision. Because the final decision 

closes the case, the motion cannot be filed through the Tribunal’s web-based e-filing 

system; it must be filed by mail or personal service. The fee for the filing of such 

motions is $50.00 in the Entire Tribunal and $25.00 in the Small Claims Division, unless 

the Small Claims decision relates to the valuation of property and the property had a 

principal residence exemption of at least 50% at the time the petition was filed or the 

decision relates to the grant or denial of a poverty or disabled veterans exemption and, 

if so, there is no filing fee. You are required to serve a copy of the motion on the 

opposing party by mail or personal service or by email if the opposing party agrees to 

electronic service, and proof demonstrating that service must be submitted with the 

motion. Responses to motions for reconsideration are prohibited and there are no oral 

arguments unless otherwise ordered by the Tribunal.

Alternatively, you may file a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals. If the 

claim is filed within 21 days of the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal of right.” If

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 24-004037

Page 2 of 8

the claim is filed more than 21 days after the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal 

by leave.” A copy of the claim of appeal must be filed with the Tribunal to certify the 

record on appeal. There is no certification fee.

In response to your email of Aug 16, 3:42 PM, 

| have reviewed your this and 

attached are docs reconfirming the filing of the subject appeal protest and filing 

date specifications and history. The July 9th date on the mailing # 9505 5124 8396 

4191 6234 03 and July 11 received date and July 9th postmarked date must have 

been missed. July 9th falls within 35 days as specified. 

| am hoping that copies were made of the (15) page protest documents and can 

be retrieved to fulfill the requirements for the protest/appeal process to continue 

on. 

Would appreciate your review, comments and response. 

| can resend the docs 

ASAP. 

Kind Regards 

Jim and Penny McCready
