METRO Act Permit Application - telecommunication right-of-way permit application along Auburn Road, MCImetro, Access Transmission Services LLC, Applicant
Body
Whereas, Worldcom/MCImetro filed an application for a telecommunications right-of-way permit pursuant to Public Act 48 of 2002 (METRO ACT) with the City of Rochester Hills for access to and ongoing use of the right-of-way adjacent to Auburn Road in the City of Rochester Hills; and,
Whereas, the METRO ACT requires that a telecommunications right-of-way permit be granted or denied by local municipalities to a telecommunications provider within 45 days of receipt of the application; and,
Whereas, the METRO ACT does not apply to federal, state or private rights-of-way; and,
Whereas, Auburn Road and its adjacent right-of-way are owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved that the telecommunications right-of-way permit application and permit filed by Worldcom/MCImetro is hereby denied, as the route of the system is contained entirely within property owned by the State of Michigan.
