Oakwood Meadows Road Petition

Please contact Brian Nichols (517) 861-9346 to schedule a time to sign the road resurfacing petition.

We MUST have 61% of affected households (96 members) to sign the petition for the road resurfacing to formally move forward.

• All owners of each property MUST sign the petition.

  • If you are deeded with another, both signatures are required.

  • If the house is deeded to multiple people but one is deceased, this needs to be noted on the petition; no other documentation is then required.

• If the property is in a trust, there is an additional form that MUST be signed.

  • This form will be provided when you meet with a board member to sign the petition.

  • The authorized representative(s) of the trust must sign this form to count as a valid property signature. 

 

Because of these strict requirements, the board would like to try to schedule a time to meet homeowners for signatures rather than repeated door-to-door attempts. We would appreciate it if you would contact Brian Nichols at 517-861-9346 to schedule a time to sign. Texting is preferred; be sure to provide your name, phone and address regardless of whether you call or text. 

 

We may also attempt to schedule a block of time at the park on an upcoming weekend where you can stop by and sign. If we do this, it will be communicated at a later date. 

 

If your property is for sale, we will likely defer your property and signature until after the sale closes to avoid any discrepancies on ownership when the township lawyers review the petition for accuracy. If we near the approval threshold this may change. 

​

The township has indicated that if we can complete the petition process this Fall, road work can very likely take place in 2026. Its in all of our interest to complete this process as quickly and efficiently as possible.

​

For your convenience, below is the actual petition wording. We hope this will speed up the process of signatures.
