Thanks to all of you raising your voices, the City Council did not vote on the proposed new residential standards at last night's City Council Meeting.  Instead, they sent it back for further review.

 

We will continue to seek the opportunity to have dialogue and provide input to the City on these new standards and will work to ensure that authority of our Deed Restrictions remain solely with you, the residents of the Dearborn Hills neighborhood.

 

The Board wishes to thank each of you that spoke up, called or wrote to Council, the Mayor etc. and those of you that took the time to attend last night's meeting.  Though it was somewhat anti-climatic since our two items did not end up being discussed or voted on, we believe the City and the Mayor made the right decision to take a step back and have further discussions and we welcome the opportunity to be a part of those.

 

Thanks again to all! 

DHCA Board of Directors

 

 

 

 

This update is for residents of the following streets:

• Meridan between Cherry Hill and Claremont
• Mohawk between Cherry Hill and Rockford
• Mohawk Place between Rockford and S. Denwood
• Emerson between Rockwood and S. Lafayette
• Berkley between Cherry Hill and Meridan

 

As many residents were informed during the public meeting on November 19, 2018, the City of Dearborn has scheduled a federally mandated sewer separation project in this neighborhood. This is a continuation of the sewer separation project completed in the Dearborn Hills neighborhood last year.
 

Pamar Enterprises, Inc., the contractor for this current project, will begin working in your neighborhood the week of April 8, 2019 (weather permitting).

 

All underground construction on your street will take approximately eight weeks to complete. Access to driveways and garages will be maintained during the project except approximately six hours during excavation and construction of the storm sewer in front of your driveway.

Following the storm sewer and water main construction, the contractor will pave the street with new eight-inch thick concrete pavement from curb to curb, keeping existing curbing in place. Any broken curbs will be replaced.

Because of deep excavation involved for the proposed sanitary sewers, entire sections of existing pavement on Meridan Street from Marshall to Claremont, including curbs, will be removed and replaced.
Parking on all streets will be restricted during paving operations but residents will be notified in advance of this stage of work. Grass between the curb and sidewalk will be restored with topsoil and sod.
All storm sewer and concrete paving is anticipated to be completed within fourteen to sixteen weeks, weather permitting.

Trash, Recycle Carts and Yard Waste Collection - Sanitation will be picked up by the sanitation contractor between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. City engineers encourage property owners to clearly label their carts with property address and to drop off their trash, recycle carts and yard waste at the curbside prior to 6 a.m. the day of collection or earlier overnight. City contractors may need to transport these carts to the nearest intersection. Once the carts have been emptied, the contractor will return them to the front of  homes.

It is planned to keep inconvenience to affected property owners to a minimum while contractors execute this important project. Any questions or issues regarding the construction may be directed to  Dylan Abbas, the City's on-site Construction Engineer Technician, at his cell (313) 801-8575, otherwise please call the City Engineer's office at 943-2145.
