I am in full support of the paving improvements as Meldrum is in grave disrepair, but I object to the formation of a Special Assessment District for this purpose. 

This would be a NEW tax for residents who would not be enjoying any special benefit. The Township and/or county has been handling of maintenance and 

improvements to Meldrum since it was paved in the late 1980s/early 1990s through 2024, when the first special assessment district application was submitted.

It appears that when the Riverpointe Condominiums were built in the late 1980s, the condominium builder covered the cost of pavement improvements for 

Meldrum Street, and it is noted on the site plans that Meldrum road would "remain private at this time". It is my understanding the south side of Meldrum was 

dedicated to the public and is utilized by the public (See attached photos from 5.12.2026 when Meldrum was used to park heavy equipment for public 

improvements to the entrance on Meldrum). My neighbors tell me this was a common practice during the Salt River Bridge project. I have a FOIA request in to 

Macomb County regarding right of way and dedication and acceptance records.

In short:

1. We do not certify the north 30-foot ROW for Meldrum in the Munson Subdivision because it does not meet the minim

2. We do not certify the south 30-foot ROW for Meldrum Street in the Riverpoint Condominiums because it is part of a c

3. Our certification map shows we do not certify Meldrum Street as a county road.

Happy to discuss if needed…it’s a bit complex for email.  What I sent answers the questions from the email.

If you need more information, it may take time to search the archives to see if there was anything related to the Munson plat.

RE:

Objection to NEW Meldrum Street Special Assessment District

I am writing to formally object to the establishment of a new Special Assessment District for the repaving of Meldrum

Road in Chesterfield Township. The Notice of Hearing for the Establishment of a Special Assessment District for Paving

Improvements to Chesterfield Township, scheduled for June 9, 2026, is attached.

I am in full support of the paving improvements as Meldrum is in grave disrepair, but I object to the formation of a Special

Assessment District for this purpose. This would be a NEW tax for residents who would not be enjoying any special

benefit. I will be submitting a FOIA request to the Township regarding the handling of maintenance and improvements to

Meldrum since it was paved in the late 1980s/early 1990s through 2024, when the first special assessment district

application was submitted.

It appears that when the Riverpointe Condominiums were built in the late 1980s, the condominium builder covered the

cost of pavement improvements for Meldrum Street, and it is noted on the site plans that Meldrum road would "remain

private at this time" (site plan attached). It is my understanding the south side of Meldrum was dedicated to the public and

is utilized by the public (See attached photos from 5.12.2026 when Meldrum was used to park heavy equipment for public

improvements to the entrance on Meldrum). My neighbors tell me this was a common practice during the Salt River

Bridge project. I will venture to say it is not a coincidence that the most deteriorated portions of Meldrum Street line up

with where the equipment is parked, and I welcome anyone interested to visit Meldrum to see if it lines up.

Per Email from Eric Dimoff/ County (4/17/2026)

The right of way for Meldrum Street on the north side of the road was never dedicated to the public (Macomb County).

The language in the Munson Subdivision plat does not include language regarding dedication of the road for the use of

the public. It feels like there was a plan to have the north side of Meldrum dedicated to the public at some point,

but the ball was dropped some 30 plus years ago?

Subject: RE: Right of Way Inquiry- Meldrum Street FOIA

Peter

I got the FOIA request for Meldrum Street. I receive many calls on Meldrum Street.  Lots of problems and bad choices.

It starts on January 28, 1950, with the recording of the Munson Subdivision Plat.  For some reason, the developer was permitt

dedicate ½ of the ROW for Meldrum Street (30 feet).  In addition, the plat says: “and that the streets and alleys as shown on s

plat are now being used for such purposes”.  In most cases the plat would say the roads and alleys are “dedicated to the public

such purposes.

It is likely that the developer was permitted to dedicate the 30-foot ROW for Meldrum under the assumption that the land to th

south would also be developed with another subdivision and that developer would dedicate the other 30-foot ROW for Meldru

brining it to the minimum 60-foot ROW required for subdivision streets.

The portion of Meldrum Street created by the Munson Subdivision would be the northerly 30-foot ROW.

It is noted that, in most cases, we do not certify subdivision streets with a ROW of less than 60 feet.

As to the southerly 30-foot ROW for Meldrum Street:

Jump forward to 1988 and Chesterfield Township approves the master deed for the Riverpointe Condominiums.  In the master

deed, Meldrum street is identified as 60 foot in width and “private”.  By approving this site plan with Meldrum being a privat

street, the Township has ensured that the north 30 feet of Meldrum Street will never be certified as public since it does not me

60-foot ROW minimum requirements.

It also sets up a horrible situation where the residents along Meldrum Street in the Munson Subdivision are using the private

portion of Meldrum Street in the Riverpointe Condominiums to gain access to their homes.  Meldrum Street in the condos is

private, and it takes on extra wear and tear from people who do not live in the condos.  The residents of Riverpointe pay HOA

that include costs for road repairs, and the residents of the Munson Subdivision are using their streets for free. Apparently, the

Township did not think about these issues when they approved the condominium site plan.

I am in full support of the paving improvements as Meldrum is in grave disrepair, but I object to the formation of a Special Assessment District for this purpose. 

This would be a NEW tax for residents who would not be enjoying any special benefit. The Township and/or county has been handling of maintenance and 

improvements to Meldrum since it was paved in the late 1980s/early 1990s through 2024, when the first special assessment district application was submitted.

It appears that when the Riverpointe Condominiums were built in the late 1980s, the condominium builder covered the cost of pavement improvements for 

Meldrum Street, and it is noted on the site plans that Meldrum road would "remain private at this time". It is my understanding the south side of Meldrum was 

dedicated to the public and is utilized by the public (See attached photos from 5.12.2026 when Meldrum was used to park heavy equipment for public 

improvements to the entrance on Meldrum). My neighbors tell me this was a common practice during the Salt River Bridge project. I have a FOIA request in to 

Macomb County regarding right of way and dedication and acceptance records.
