Security upgrades OK’d for Northville Town Square
Water bills to increase with new sewer charges
Middle school valued at $4 million
More than $35,000 in improve-
ments to the sound system and
security cameras will take place at
Northville Town Square this sum-
mer.
Members of the Northville City
Council approved a contract for
$7,087 with AFP Sound Systems to
install a new sound system at the
downtown square. The physical
infrastructure of the square is the
responsibility of the Downtown
Development Authority. Director
Lori Ward told council members
that the new sound system would
support program offerings through-
out the year, including the ongoing
concert series. She said the sound
system would also reduce the cost
of providing additional live enter-
tainment for off-season events.
The $28,000 contract for security
cameras in the square was award-
ed to Holman Surveillance
Systems. The security camera sys-
tem is an effort to reduce further
vandalism at several downtown
locations particularly around the
town square andnearbywalkways.
Half the cost for the security sys-
tem will be covered by a Risk
Avoidance ProgramGrant from the
Michigan Municipal Risk
Management Authority, according
to officials. The system will have
cameras in and around city hall,
Town Square and the Comerica
Community Connection, according
to city officials.
Members of the Plymouth
Township Board of Trustees unani-
mously approved an increase in
the sewage disposal fee for water
customers.
The 25 cent increase per thou-
sand gallons of water will take the
fee from$5,50 per thousand gallons
of water used to $5.75 per thousand
gallons used, The rate will become
effective in July.
Trustees did not increase fees
for water which will remain at
$3.55 per thousand gallons making
the total fee for water and sewer
service in the township $9.30 for
every thousand gallons. The rate is
applicable to both residential and
business customers.
The new fee will mean an aver-
age increase of about $5.25 every
three months for the average cus-
tomer in Plymouth Township with
bills averaging about $195.30 each
quarter. That figure is based on the
average use of about 21,000 gallons
of water every three months and
includes the minimum $1.80 meter
fee assessed eachquarter.
Costs for water and sewerage
treatment for the township from
Wayne County and the Western
Townships Utilities Authority are
expected to increase by about 4
percent, officials said.
Central Middle School in down-
town Plymouth will be on the mar-
ket with a price tag right around $4
million.
Appraiser David Burgoyne pre-
sented his findings to the members
of the Plymouth Canton
Community Schools Board of
Educationmembers last week, con-
cluding the value of the building at
property is at the $4 million
amount, although the price could
go higher. The school building at
adjacent property, located on Main
Street and Church Street, will be
closed by the school district in
September of 2015 and students
transferred to a newmiddle school
under construction at Canton
Center and Cherry Hill roads in
CantonTownship. An intensive sur-
vey and study by district officials
determined that the majority of
middle school children in the dis-
trict either already do live or will
live in theCanton area.
Burgoyne told the school board
trustees that the appraisal as pre-
sented is based on the “highest and
best use” of the property. Currently,
the city has zoned the 21.6 acre
property single-family residential,
requiring lots of no less that 60 feet
in width and with a minimum lot
size of 7,200 square feet.
The Plymouth Cultural Center
currently occupies 4.25 acres of the
area and the Miracle League of
Plymouth special-needs baseball
field uses 1.15 acres. There are 9.79
acres of athletic fields and tennis
courts at the site and the building
occupies 6.41 acres, according to
the appraisal figures.
Burgoyne noted that the cultural
center and the Miracle League
field would probably not be a part
of the sale of the land. That leaves
about 17 acres in the appraised
price, along with the school build-
ing.
environmental contamination is
prevalent at the site.
Township officials launched an
advertising campaign for the 323
acre prison farm property west of
Ridge Road to prospective devel-
opers seeking offers of an acquisi-
tion proposal for infrastructure
development of land they now
refer to as the Five Mile
Technology and Recreation
Corridor. The site is zoned IND-
Industrial and contains 100-year
floodplain areas andwetlands.
In their advertisement, town-
ship officials said there would be
“legal challenges,” stating,
“Plymouth Township purchased
the property on September 22, 2011
as part of a Wayne County foreclo-
sure process.” They mentioned the
City of Detroit's claim and refer-
enced and their Affidavit Affecting
Real Property for 190 of the total
323 acres.
“…190.57 acres still belonged to
theCity of Detroit…”
Their advertisement, titled
Request for Qualifications-RFQ,
offers prospective developers the
option of submitting plans for just
the easternpart of the property, 133
acres, eliminating the 190 acre par-
cel in contest with Detroit, or the
entire 323 acres.
“Responders may provide a
development plan or submittal for
the just the western 190 acre por-
tion, just the eastern 133 acre por-
tion of the entire 323 acre parcel.”
“The Michigan Land Bank
Authority are the experts at turning
around old, contaminated sites like
DeHoCo,” Heise said. “They know
how to leverage grants, tax incen-
tives, and market these sites for
development and jobs. While the
property will not be turned around
as quickly as Robert Scott Prison,
it's critical that we get started, and
get the right people onboardnow.”
Heise said he is working with
both the House and the Senate on
his project.
“I'm trying to impress upon the
state we have an obligation, as a
good neighbor, to take the buildings
down, clear the site and make it
presentable…”
