The Romulus City Council held a public hearing on September 22, 2025, addressing concerns related to property boundaries and fencing regulations. The meeting featured discussions about the responsibilities of property owners when erecting fences, particularly regarding access for city services.

Council members emphasized the importance of ensuring that fences do not obstruct access to utility easements. One council member raised a question about whether property owners are aware that city officials may need to enter their property, even if a fence is present. It was clarified that while property owners must grant permission for access, city workers retain the right to move fences if necessary.

During the public comment section, resident Doreesh Green expressed concerns about a neighbor's fence that he claimed encroached on an easement. Green presented photographs to illustrate how the fence deviated from the property line, potentially obstructing access to a sewer drain. He noted that other fences in the area were aligned correctly and urged the council to address the issue to prevent further complications.

Green also mentioned that construction activities related to the fence had damaged drainage infrastructure, leading to additional concerns about water accumulation and mosquito breeding in the area. His comments highlighted the need for clear communication and adherence to property regulations to avoid conflicts among neighbors.

The meeting concluded without further comments from the council, but the discussions underscored the ongoing challenges of property management and community relations in Romulus. The council's next steps regarding the issues raised will be closely monitored by residents.
