Letter from the President
Signs summer is coming to Springwells Park:
The birds wake you at 5:45a.m.
You hear kids playing every evening in the common areas…so you
drive slowly with a watchful eye.
There is clanging in basements across Summerwells Park as we set aside unused stuff for
the SPA Garage Sale to be held on June 25, 26 and 27th. Again this year Carolyn Witte
will chair this event. And if you register with Carolyn before June 5th, SPA will obtain
your permit free of charge. Carolyn will also provide maps with all of the participating
homes identified. Register with Carolyn this week so you don’t forget. There is a form
somewhere in this newsletter.
Andy Buck’s phone is ringing as he’s getting ready for the annual SPA flower sale. Here’s a
great idea: Get your flowers at a great price without leaving the neighborhood. There is
a form somewhere in this newsletter – Due by May 15th.
Our neighbors who boarder the common areas begin cleanup of their part of the common
areas. Thanks to you all!
Homeowners begin repairs and upgrades to their properties by first filling out a Property Improvement Application for review by the Deed Restrictions Committee. There is a form in
the back of this newsletter.
SPA dues are due July 1st so…please do you part to keep our neighborhood great!
You get out and take a walk around the neighborhood enjoying all the beautiful homes and
nice neighbors…It’s time to meet that new neighbor who moved in on your street last
winter.
Rick Simms, the new SPA Deed Restrictions Chair Person is taking applications for home improvements. Thanks Rick!
Brian Harris the new SPA Treasurer is preparing the SPA budget for 2011. Thanks Brian!
And…everyone attends the SPA General meeting on May 19th, 7p.m. at St. Joseph's Church Hall!
See you soon,
Darby O’Reilly

What to Recycle in Dearborn
(from the City of Dearborn Website)
Recyclables will only be collected from the City issued orange/green recycling bin. When full, set it out 3 feet
from your other rubbish on your regular rubbish day before 7 a.m. or after 5 p.m. the evening before. Your
bin must be removed from the curb by midnight on your collection day.
Reminder: City issued recycling bins are the property of the City. If you move, you must leave the orange bin
with the house. New bins are available for $10 each (delivered to your house) or $8 each if you pick them up
at the DPW office, 2951 Greenfield.
Recycling is mandatory in Dearborn. Place only the following clean items in the recycling bin:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Cardboard Boxes (cut to fit bin), cereal boxes, pop can cases (NO PIZZA BOXES).
Office Paper - bundle with string or place in brown paper bag to prevent from blowing around.
Household Batteries (NO CAR BATTERIES) placed in small clear plastic bag.
Newspaper and everything that comes with the newspaper must be bundled with string or placed
in brown bag to prevent from blowing around.
Plastic (1 through 7 on bottom) discard lids.
Glass Bottles/Jars (clear, brown and green) discard lids.
Phone Books/Magazines/Catalogs - bundled with string.
Aluminum & Tin Cans.
Empty Aerosol Cans - discard lids.
We do not recycle: drinking glasses, anti-freeze or oil containers, and lighter fluid containers. If an item is
left in your bin, it is probably because it is not recyclable. For more information or a new bin call 943.2085.
Keep grass cut to six inches or less, fix any
problems with the outside of your house
(from The Back Fence—A Dearborn Community Newsletter/Spring 2010)
Spring is right around the corner, which means that it’s the perfect time for homeowners to get outside and get
their properties spruced up once again.
First on the list is lawn maintenance. City officials agree that cutting grass should be a number one priority.
Residents must cut their grass so it’s six inches or less. That length must be maintained for the rest of the
spring, summer and fall. Failure to keep grass cut to six inches or less can result in tickets or fines.
If the City must cut grass and weeds, the property owner will be billed for the actual cost of the cutting, plus an
administrative fee of $75 each time.
Other property maintenance guidelines to keep in mind:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Trash cans must be stored in the garage or behind the house, out of sight from the street.
Do not store furniture of other household items outside.
Check the condition of the paint, wood or siding on your house. Porches, steps and railings must be in
good repair.
Wash the siding, paint and trim on your house.
Replace broken bricks and mortar joints.
Check the roof and repair any missing or broken shingles.
Garage doors must be operable and painted.
Prune or trim overgrown shrubs and trees.
All properties must have groundcover, such as grass or landscaping.
If residents have any questions about property maintenance issues, or if they need to report a neighborhood
problem, they can contact Neighborhood Services at (313) 942-2161.

Congratulations Adam Keelan
Boy Scouts of America has another new Eagle Scout in Springwells Park.
Adam Keelan attained the rank of Eagle on April 15th at a formal court of
honor held at St. Martha's Church. Adam's entire troop (1148), friends and
family were in attendance at the ceremony. Eagle Scout is the highest rank
in scouting and takes years and much effort to reach. As
well as specific merit badges, roles in troop leadership, community service, Adam also had to create and manage an Eagle
project. His consisted of a musical instrument and supply
drive to benefit the "Arts League of Michigan

New Look for Bennington Park
The basketball court in Bennington Park has been removed and grass seeds have been
sown. There had been complaints from neighbors who live adjacent to the park about
people cutting through their yards to get to the basketball court and also about after hour
use. If anyone is seen in the park after park hours, the police should be called immediately at 943-2241.
Oriole Sighting in SPA
By Judy Shepard
If you are a Baltimore Oriole fan (the bird not
the baseball team), now is the time to fill up
your feeders and enjoy the show! We’ve had our
feeder up and have been “singing” their song for
the last couple of weeks . April 30th we were rewarded with sighting of the first male of the season. The male orioles have a brilliant orange
body with a black head and wings. The female
is much duller in color, but
still beautiful. They enjoy the same food as hummingbirds and there are special oriole feeders that allow them
to land to drink. The sweet mixture is easy to make. Just
add 1 part sugar to 4 parts boiling water. I add a bit
more sugar in the beginning of the season. They also like
orange slices, caterpillars, insects and spiders. Their
songs can be as simple as a single note or as complicated
as a symphony. Last year, we hung a feeder from the
gutter in our sunroom and enjoyed both the hummingbirds and orioles close-up.

City Zoning Ordinance for Concrete/Pavers
By Judy Shepard
Now that spring has arrived and everyone is working on cleaning up and improving their property, a
question came up in one of SPA board meetings about what is required when adding pavers or concrete as a patio or walkway.
Article 29.00 of Dearborn’s Zoning Ordinance deals with this, but is a bit complicated, so my husband called the city to find out about what it really means for SPA residents.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
All cement work requires a permit.
Pavers or other stone walkways require a Certificate of Compliance.
Concrete flatwork or pavers may not exceed forty percent (40%) of the front yard. The remainder of the front yard shall be grass area(s) and shall be planted with sod and/or grass seed.
The maximum coverage of all flatwork (i.e., cement, pavers, flagstone, etc.) is 25% of the lot
size.
Well-maintained ornamental flowerbeds are permitted as long as they are organized and aesthetically in harmony with the neighborhood.
A front yard that consist of seventy-five percent (75%) or more of unorganized wildflowers
and/or freely growing/overgrown perennial flowers is prohibited.
Any planting except for grass in the public easement between the sidewalk and the street curb
requires a permit from the director of public works in accordance with Section 17-250 of the
Dearborn City Code.
It was noted that the most common reason why a permit for concrete or a compliance certificate for
pavers is rejected was because of lot coverage. The maximum coverage of all flatwork is 25% of
the lot size. If your lot size is 35’ x 120’, you have a total footage of 4200 square feet. 25% of
4200 square feet is 1050 square feet of total flatwork that is allowed.

In the Homestretch Now
In just a few short weeks students will embark upon summer vacation. For older students who will become seniors, or
those who will move on to postsecondary institutions, this
can be a time of stress and anxiety. It can be made easier
with preparation and good organizational skills.
It is important for students to be diligent with their studies
during these last few days. In order to finish with high academic standing and have an
easy transition into the next year, students should stay focused “with their eyes on the
prize.”
Special attention to end of the year cumulative reviews should be made. Teachers will
give hints and direction as to what to expect for large assignments, essays and final
exams. Students should keep their ears open and catch these cues.
They should also be organized. Keeping notes and binders tidy, and their study area
clean and free of clutter is desirable. Avoiding distractions and having a quiet place to
work is best.
Students should make a schedule and map out the times that they will commit to
studying and working on assignments so that they are not overwhelmed with too much
at once. Most students have busy social lives and work afterschool as well. Priority to
schoolwork is first and all else comes second in these last few weeks.
Lastly, remind them to take breaks and have rest periods of relaxation, especially if
they are tired or struggling with something. Have them do the things they love and
then go back to working. Sometimes one will see the answer to a problem when they
come back refreshed.
Following these simple guidelines will help relieve the stress and anxiety students experience as they prepare to enter the next stage of their young adult lives.
The final grade will be their reward for staying focused and achieving their goals in the
homestretch. Good luck to all Springwells students and enjoy your summer vacation.

Consumer’s Korner
By Jim Shepard
One day I was trying to get advertisers for the SPA newsletter and went
into 7-ELEVEN to see if they were interested in buying advertising space in
our newsletter or Blue Book. Their first ad goes back to about the year
2000 and I think I came along soon afterward. Penny and Jim have been
with us for quite some time. The store that has what you want when you
want it, that’s 7-ELEVEN.
I see Jim every so often and there was the time last year I had been in to
bug him about a new ad. I had left him my name and number and pricing
schedule for the ads. One of our neighbors had been there for something
later in the day and dropped her wallet. Our good buddy Jim found the wallet and checked for ID. He was thinking she had to be from around here,
but what to do?
He said Jim the advertising guy was just here, I will give him a call. The call
was made and wallet returned!! A good business and good people in a great
neighborhood. It doesn’t get any better!
Thanks Jim and Penny
Next time you’re by, say hi!!!
