Can you share the handout from the roads meeting on September 8th?RoadsQuestion from Anonymous · September 13, 2026
If the roads are re-paved with asphalt, would homeowners be allowed to pave their driveways with asphalt?RoadsQuestion from Anonymous · September 12, 2026
The board’s answer
Asphalt is expressly permitted as a driveway material. Article II, Section 2 of the Declaration of Restrictions says driveways "shall be hard-surface (e.g. concrete or asphalt)" and prohibits only gravel. Article I still requires written plan approval from the Association for exterior improvements, which includes driveway repaving.
Is Deer Point a private subdivision?RoadsQuestion from Anonymous · September 12, 2026
The board’s answer
Deer Point is not a private subdivision. The Proprietor's Certificate on Seet 10 of the plat reads, verbatim: "...and that the streets are for the use of the public." The roads are all listed under Road Commission for Oakland County jurisdiction, Act 51 classification "County Sublocal" — certified public county roads. It is also nearly impossible for a public subdivision to become a private subdivision. This is not a realistic approach to fixing/maintaining our roads.
Write to the board
Three things, so there is no confusion later:
- Only the board reads what you send.
- Your email and lot are never shown on the website.
- A published answer says “Anonymous” unless you tick the box.

The board reads the suggestion box regularly rather than one message at a time, so please be patient while they work on a response. For anything urgent, or anything you would rather discuss directly, the contact page has email addresses for individual board members and the association’s mailing address.
