Show the approach separately from the private drive
Farmington Hills’ paving and repaving FAQ points to a Roadway Jurisdiction Map for city-versus-county right-of-way questions. No map lookup, boundary or authority determination was made for a particular approach.
Mark the proposed resurfacing area on a wider photograph or sketch that shows its relationship to the roadway. Distinguish the work near the road from work farther inside the property. Keep an uncertain boundary visibly uncertain rather than identifying it solely from a change in paving material.
Carry the confirmed road authority into the proposal
Give Engineering the exact location and proposed extent, and ask which roadway jurisdiction applies. Retain the actual direction with the proposal it describes. If the approach area changes, the earlier answer should not silently be applied to the new extent.
Ask the provider which part of its offer covers the private driveway and which assumptions depend on the authority response. Make unresolved city or county questions explicit before agreeing on that work. The mailing address alone does not answer the road-authority question, and this guide does not select a driveway design or permit route.
Does a Farmington Hills address establish that the city controls the driveway approach?
No. The FAQ refers readers to roadway jurisdiction information. Ask Engineering about the actual approach; a mailing address does not establish the controlling road authority.
What should a driveway quote distinguish near the roadway?
Distinguish the private-drive area and proposed approach work, show their locations and attach any actual authority response. Keep unresolved boundary or jurisdiction questions visible in the offer.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
