Resolution No. 3 Establishing a Public Hearing for the Stone School Road Sidewalk Project Special Assessment (District No. 64 - Eisenhower to Packard)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is Resolution No. 3 establishing the date for the Public Hearing on the Stone School Road Sidewalk Project Special Assessment District No. 64, File No. 23-1900.
In accordance with the City's Non-Motorized Plan and Complete Streets approach, staff proposes installing a new sidewalk to close gaps in the sidewalk network and provide a continuous pedestrian connection along the east side of Stone School Road from Eisenhower to Packard. This sidewalk gap scores in the "Highest" category in the City's sidewalk gap prioritization system, and staff has also received multiple requests from residents to have this gap in the network filled. Accordingly, this project was placed in the Capital Improvements Plan (TR-AT-22-15).
Recent changes to City Code allow for the construction of new sidewalks without special assessment, however this excludes non-taxable parcels. This segment of Stone School Road includes seven parcels within Pittsfield Township, thus creating the need for the special assessment district. The five parcels in the project limits that are within the City of Ann Arbor's jurisdiction will be excluded from this special assessment district.
