PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
April 12, 2007
Hearing; Case 2007-09: Request to rezone the property at 527 Young Ave., parcel 24-131-
100-0006-10, from 1-1, Light Industrial District, to 1-2, General Industrial, by Dan Posma, Dan
Hoe Excavating.
Applicant: Dan Posma, Dan Hoe Excavating
Property Address/Location: 527 Young Avenue
Request: Request to rezone from I-1, Light Industrial, to 1-2, General
Industrial
Present Land Use: Vacant parcel
Zoning: I-1, General Industrial
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1. A site plan was approved for a truck garage on the site at the March 15, 2007 Planning
Commission meeting.
2. Although the City allowed the new owner to use this prope1ty last construction season for
some concrete recycling in conjunction with a public works project, that use is not
allowed in an I-1 zone. The applicant has since indicated that he wishes to continue to do
concrete recycling, along with storage of aggregate on the site. Since Dan Hoe
Excavating works on many road construction projects in the area, a site to store and
recycling concrete from these projects is essential to their operation.
3. Properties to the south, east, and west are zoned I-1, Light Industrial. The property to the
north is zoned I-2, General Industrial, and is the rear of the Brunswick property. A
rezoning for this site would be a continuation of the existing I-2 zone.
4. The prope1ties to the south, east, and west, as well as the subject property, are included in
the Seaway Industrial Park. It was originally thought that all properties in the park
should be zoned I-1, however, Staff feels that the location of the prope1ty is such that
adjacent properties would be not be adversely affected by this zone change.
5. The City's 1997 Master Plan's Future Land Use Map indicates the subject property as
"Industrial".
6. A Special Land Use Permit is also required for the use intended for this propetty, and is
the subject of the next case.
7. Staff has received no comments on this request.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone the subject properties from I-1, Light
Industrial, to I-2, General Industrial, because the request confonns to the goals and
recommendation of the City's 1997 Master Plan.
DELIBERATION
Criteria-based questions typically asked during a rezoning include:
I. What, if any, identifiable conditions related to the petition have changed which justify
the petitioned change in zoning.
2. What are the precedents and the possible effects of precedent that might result from the
approval or denial of the petition?
O:\Planning\COMMON\Zoning\City Commission Itcms\rezone\Approvc\2007 Approvals\527 Young St.doc 7
3. What is the impact of the amendment on the ability of the city to provide adequate
public services and facilities and/or programs that might reasonably be required in the
future if the petition is approved?
4. Does the petitioned zoning change adversely affect the environmental conditions or value
of the surrounding property?
5. Does the petitioned zoning change generally comply with the adopted Future Land
Use Plan of the City?
6. Are there any significant negative environmental impacts which would reasonably
occur if the petitioned zoning change and resulting allowed structures were built such as:
a. Surface water drainage problems
b. Waste water disposal problems
c. Adverse effect on surface or subsurface water quality
d. The loss of valuable natural resources such as forest, wetland, historic sites,
or wildlife areas.
7. Is the proposed zoning change a "Spot Zone"?
a. Is the parcel small in size relative to its surroundings?
b. Would the zoning change allow uses that are inconsistent with those allowed in
the vicinity?
c. Would the zoning change confer a benefit to the property owner that is not
generally available to other properties in the area?
d. A spot zone is appropriate if it complies with the Master Plan.
DETERMINATION
The following motion is offered for consideration:
I move that the request to rezone the property located at 527 Young Avenue from I-1, Light
Industrial district to I-2, General Industrial district, as described in the public notice, be
recommended for (approval/denial) to the City Commission pursuant to the City of Muskegon
Zoning Ordinance, and the determination of ( compliance/lack of compliance) with the intent of
the City Master Land Use and zoning district intent.

Re: Beach Leveling
The Depaitment of Public Works has again solicited bid for the snow fence
removal and beach leveling. This work was previously done in house but due to the
extreme wear and tear on our equipment and the high cost of renting equipment, we
began outsourcing this activity in 2004.
Bid packets were distributed to contractors at a pre-bid meeting held a Pere
Marquette Park. The bid is for a three year period. (Attached is a summery of bids.)
In accordance with established policy, we are requesting permission to award
the 2007-2009 beach leveling contract to JSN Excavating.

RE: CHEMICAL BIDS - WATER FILTRATION
BACKGROUND
In 1996 the Water Filtration Plant began the process of competitively bidding water
treatment chemicals jointly with the cities of Grand Haven, Grand Rapids, Wyoming and

Purchasing Group". Recently Muskegon Heights has joined in this cooperative
purchasing group. The original bids (1996) allowed for contract renewal in two or three
year intervals.
HISTORICAL CHEMICAL COSTS
This process has worked in the City's favor as the cost for chemicals has remained low
over the years and increases have been limited and usually modest.

RE: 2007-08 Healthcare Renewal
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: It is time to renew the City's healthcare coverage for
the 2007-08 plan year. Healthcare costs for the City, like all employers, continue to
rise rapidly. Renewal rates for the City's current healthcare program came in at
$817.28/employee/month, about 10% higher than the current rate ($744.43). In
dollar terms, this translates into an annual cost increase of $218,550. Staff believes
certain adjustments must be made to bring the amount of cost increase down to a
more manageable level given our budget uncertainties and the likelihood of state
revenue sharing cuts. Accordingly, we are proposing a healthcare benefit renewal
that includes the following adjustments:
1. Increase in office co-pay visits from the current $10.00/visit to $15.00/visit
2. Increase in the co-pay for emergency room care from $25 to $50
3. Increase in the co-pay for "urgent care" (e.g. Norton Medi Center) from$10 to $25
4. Increase in the co-pay for brand name prescriptions from $25 to $30 (generic Rx
co-pays remain $15)
Fl NANCIAL IMPACT: With these adjustments, the City's costs will increase
6.20% ($130,320) - a still significant, but manageable level. Attached for your
information a more detailed analysis of the healthcare proposal.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. With the proposed adjustments, the
healthcare cost increase will be within budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the healthcare renewal with Priority
Health incorporating the benefit changes outlined above.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None.

SECTION III
ACCOUNTING AND BILLING
A. Procedures for billing for work undertaken by the REQUESTING PARTY:
1. The REQUESTING PARTY shall establish and maintain accurate records, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, of all expenses
incurred for which payment is sought or made under this contract, said records to
be hereinafter referred to as the "RECORDS". Separate accounts shall be
established and maintained for all costs incurred under this contract.
The REQUESTING PARTY shall maintain the RECORDS for at least three (3)
years from the date of final payment of Federal Aid made by the DEPARTMENT
under this contract. In the event of a dispute with regard to the allowable
expenses or any other issue under this contract, the REQUESTING PARTY shall
thereafter continue to maintain the RECORDS at least until that dispute has been
finally decided and the time for all available challenges or appeals of that decision
has expired.
The DEPARTMENT, or its representative, may inspect, copy, or audit the
RECORDS at any reasonable time after giving reasonable notice.
If any part of the work is subcontracted, the REQUESTING PARTY shall assure
compliance with the above for all subcontracted work.
In the event that an audit performed by or on behalf of the DEPARTMENT
indicates an adjustment to the costs reported under this contract, or questions the
allowability of an item of expense, the DEPARTMENT shall promptly submit to
the REQUESTING PARTY, a Notice of Audit Results and a copy of the audit
report which may supplement or modify any tentative findings verbally
communicated to the REQUESTING PARTY at the completion of an audit.
Within sixty (60) days after the date of the Notice of Audit Results, the
REQUESTING PARTY shall: (a) respond in writing to the responsible Bureau or
the DEPARTMENT indicating whether or not it concurs with the audit report, (b)
clearly explain the nature and basis for any disagreement as to a disallowed item
of expense and, (c) submit to the DEPARTMENT a written explanation as to any
questioned or no opinion expressed item of expense, hereinafter referred to as the
"RESPONSE". The RESPONSE shall be clearly stated and provide any
supporting documentation necessary to resolve any disagreement or questioned or
no opinion expressed item of expense. Where the documentation is voluminous,
the REQUESTING PARTY may supply appropriate excerpts and make alternate
03-15-93 7
arrangements to conveniently and reasonably make that documentation available
for review by the DEPARTMENT. The RESPONSE shall refer to and apply the
language of the contract. The REQUESTING PARTY agrees that failure to
submit a RESPONSE within the sixty (60) day period constitutes agreement with
any disallowance of an item of expense and authorizes the DEPARTMENT to
finally disallow any items of questioned or no opinion expressed cost.
The DEPARTMENT shall make its decision with regard to any Notice of Audit
Results and RESPONSE within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of
the Notice of Audit Results. If the DEPARTMENT determines that an
overpayment has been made to the REQUESTING PARTY, the REQUESTING
PARTY shall repay that amount to the DEPARTMENT or reach agreement with
the DEPARTMENT on a repayment schedule within thirty (30) days after the
date of an invoice from the DEPARTMENT. If the REQUESTING PARTY fails
to repay the overpayment or reach agreement with the DEPARTMENT on a
repayment schedule within the thirty (30) day period, the REQUESTING PARTY
agrees that the DEPARTMENT shall deduct all or a portion of the overpayment
from any funds then or thereafter payable by the DEPARTMENT to the
REQUESTING PARTY under this contract or any other agreement, or payable to
the REQUESTING PARTY under the terms of 1951 PA 51, as applicable.
Interest will be assessed on any partial payments or repayment schedules based on
the unpaid balance at the end of each month until the balance is paid in full. The
assessment of interest will begin thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.
The rate of interest will be based on the Michigan Department of Treasury
common cash funds interest earnings. The rate of interest will be reviewed
annually by the DEPARTMENT and adjusted as necessary based on the Michigan
Department of Treasury common cash funds interest earnings. The
REQUESTING PARTY expressly consents to this withholding or offsetting of
funds under those circumstances, reserving the right to file a lawsuit in the Court
of Claims to contest the DEPARTMENT'S decision only as to any item of
expense the disallowance of which was disputed by the REQUESTING PARTY
in a timely filed RESPONSE.
The REQUESTING PARTY shall comply with the Single Audit Act of 1984,
P.L. 98-502.

working capital to meet the remaining anticipated PROJECT COSTS. All
progress payments will be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of billings. No
monthly billing of a lesser amount than $1,000.00 will be made unless it is a final
or end of fiscal year billing. Should the DEPARTMENT determine that the
available working capital exceeds the remaining anticipated PROJECT COSTS,
the DEPARTMENT may reimburse the REQUESTING PARTY such excess.
Upon completion of the PROJECT, payment of all PROJECT COSTS, receipt of
all applicable monies from the FHW A, and completion of necessary audits, the
REQUESTING PARTY will be reimbursed the balance of its deposit.

maintained free of such obstacles.
C. On projects for the construction of bikeways, the parties will enact no ordinances or
regulations prohibiting the use of bicycles on the facility hereinbefore described as the
PROJECT, and will amend any existing restrictive ordinances in this regard so as to
allow use of this facility by bicycles. No motorized vehicles shall be permitted on such
bikeways or walkways constructed as the PROJECT except those for maintenance
purposes.
D. Failure of the parties hereto to fulfill their respective responsibilities as outlined herein
may disqualify that party from future Federal-aid participation in projects on roads or
streets for which it has maintenance responsibility. Federal Aid may be withheld until
such time as deficiencies in regulations have been corrected, and the improvements
constructed as the PROJECT are brought to a satisfactory condition of maintenance.

Date: April 24, 2007
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Engineering
RE: City - MDOT Agreement for:
Federal money loan to reconstruct
Phase II of the Downtown Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
To approve the attached contract with MOOT for the reconstruction of Second, First,
Jefferson & Market Streets within the Downtown Development (Former Mall Area)
and to approve the attached resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign
the contract.
As part of the "jobs today's program" the state made available to local governments
the ability to advance construct projects on the 2007 & 2008 transportation plan by
lending the federal allocation for those projects as long as the local governments
agreed to two conditions;
1- The projects would be advertised and awarded a year ahead of their
scheduled time.
2- The local governments would have to enter into the attached agreement with
the state which outlines the terms and conditions of the loan.
The advantage on this project is that this whole agreement is merely a paper work
matter since the city could not have spent any money against the federal funds to
accrue any interest since the actual construction will take place in the 2008/2009
fiscal years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None at this time. The City's share of the cost will come out of the Major Street
and water, sewer funds as shown in the 2007 budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the attached contract and resolution and authorize the mayor & clerk to sign
both.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
RESOLUTION 2007-36 ( d)

required by MCL 324.20126 (3)(h); MSA 13A.20126(3)(h); c) it conducted a visual inspection
of property within the existing right of way on which construction is to be performed to
determine if any hazardous substances were present; and at sites on which historically were
located businesses that involved hazardous substances, it performed a reasonable investigation to
determine whether hazardous substances exist. This reasonable investigation should include, at a

the cost of remediating any hazardous substances discovered after the execution of this contract
and if there is a reasonable likelihood of recovery, the REQUESTING PARTY, in cooperation
with the Department of Environmental Quality and the DEPARTMENT, shall make a diligent
effort to recover such costs from all other possible entities. If recovery is made, the
DEPARTMENT shall be reimbursed from such recovery for the proportionate share of the
amount paid by the FHWA and/or the DEPARTMENT and the DEPARTMENT shall credit
such sums to the appropriate funding source.

agreements, permits, plans, specifications, or documents, of any nature, or any inspections of
work by the DEPARTMENT or its agents pursuant to the terms of this contract are done to assist
09/06/90 STP.FOR 3/29/07 4
the REQUESTING PARTY in meeting program guidelines in order to qualify for available
funds. Such approvals, reviews, inspections and recommendations by the DEPARTMENT or its
agents shall not relieve the REQUESTING PARTY and the local agencies, as applicable, of their
ultimate control and shall not be construed as a wan-anty of their propriety or that the
DEPARTMENT or its agents is assuming any liability, control or jurisdiction.

not relieve the REQUESTING PARTY and the local agencies, as applicable of their exclusive
jurisdiction of the highway and responsibility under MCL 691.1402, MSA 3.996( 102).
When providing approvals, reviews and recommendations under this contract, the
DEPARTMENT or its agents is performing a governmental function, as that term is defined in
MCL 691.1401; MSA 3.996(101), which is incidental to the completion of the PROJECT.

highway for the purposes of MCL 691.1402; MSA 3.996(102) rests with the REQUESTING
PARTY and other local agencies having respective jurisdiction.
14. The REQUESTING PARTY shall approve all of the plans and specifications to
be used on the PROJECT and shall be deemed to have approved all changes to the plans and
specifications when put into effect. It is agreed that ultimate responsibility and control over the
PROJECT rests with the REQUESTING PARTY and local agencies, as applicable.
15. The REQUESTING PARTY agrees that the costs reported to the DEPARTMENT
for this contract will represent only those items that are properly chargeable in accordance with
this contract. The REQUESTING PARTY also certifies that it has read the contract terms and
has made itself aware of the applicable laws, regulations, and terms of this contract that apply to
the reporting of costs incurred under the terms of this contract.
16. The parties shall promptly provide comprehensive assistance and cooperation in
defending and resolving any claims brought against the DEPARTMENT by the contractor,
vendors or suppliers as a result of the DEPARTMENT'S award of the construction contract for
the PROJECT. Costs incurred by the DEPARTMENT in defending or resolving such claims
shall be considered PROJECT COSTS.
17. The DEPARTMENT shall require the contractor who is awarded the contract for

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, of all expenses
incurred for which payment is sought or made under this contract, said records to
be hereinafter referred to as the "RECORDS". Separate accounts shall be
established and maintained for all costs incurred under this contract.
The REQUESTING PARTY shall maintain the RECORDS for at least three (3)
years from the date of final payment of Federal Aid made by the DEPARTMENT
under this contract. In the event of a dispute with regard to the allowable
expenses or any other issue under this contract, the REQUESTING PARTY shall
thereafter continue to maintain the RECORDS at least until that dispute has been
finally decided and the time for all available challenges or appeals of that decision
has expired.
The DEPARTMENT, or its representative, may inspect, copy, or audit the
RECORDS at any reasonable time after giving reasonable notice.
If any part of the work is subcontracted,. the REQUESTING PARTY shall assure
compliance with the above for all subcontracted work.
In the event that an audit performed by or on behalf of the DEPARTMENT
indicates an adjustment to the costs reported under this contract, or questions the
allowability of an item of expense, the DEPARTMENT shall promptly submit to
the REQUESTING PARTY, a Notice of Audit Results and a copy of the audit
report which may supplement or modify any tentative findings verbally
communicated to the REQUESTING PARTY at the completion of an audit.

03-15-93 7
arrangements to conveniently and reasonably make that documentation available
for review by the DEPARTMENT. The RESPONSE shall refer to and apply the
language of the contract. The REQUESTING PARTY agrees that failure to
submit a RESPONSE within the sixty (60) day period constitutes agreement with
any disallowance of an item of expense and authorizes the DEPARTMENT to
finally disallow any items of questioned or no opinion expressed cost.
The DEPARTMENT shall make its decision with regard to any Notice of Audit
Results and RESPONSE within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of
the Notice of Audit Results. If the DEPARTMENT determines that an
overpayment has been made to the REQUESTING PARTY, the REQUESTING
PARTY shall repay that amount to the DEPARTMENT or reach agreement with
the DEPARTMENT on a repayment schedule within thirty (30) days after the
date of an invoice from the DEPARTMENT. If the REQUESTING PARTY fails
to repay the overpayment or reach agreement with the DEPARTMENT on a
repayment schedule within the thirty (30) day period, the REQUESTING PARTY
agrees that the DEPARTMENT shall deduct all or a portion of the overpayment
from any funds then or thereafter payable by the DEPARTMENT to the
REQUESTING PARTY under this contract or any other agreement, or payable to
the REQUESTING PARTY under the terms of 1951 PA 51, as applicable.
Interest will be assessed on any partial payments or repayment schedules based on
the unpaid balance at the end of each month until the balance is paid in full. The
assessment of interest will begin thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice.
The rate of interest will be based on the Michigan Department of Treasury
common cash funds interest earnings. The rate of interest will be reviewed
annually by the DEPARTMENT and adjusted as necessary based on the Michigan
Department of Treasury common cash funds interest earnings. The
REQUESTING PARTY expressly consents to this withholding or offsetting of
funds under those circumstances, reserving the right to file a lawsuit in the Court

SECTION IV
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION
A. Upon completion of construction of each part of the PROJECT, at no cost to the
DEPARTMENT or the PROJECT, each of the parties hereto, within their respective
jurisdictions, will make the following provisions for the maintenance and operation of the
completed PROJECT:
1. All Projects:
Properly maintain and operate each part of the project, making ample provisions
each year for the performance of such maintenance work as may be required,
except as qualified in paragraph 2b of this section.
2. Projects Financed in Part with Federal Monies:
a. Sign and mark each part of the PROJECT, in accordance with the current

Occupancy of non-limited access right-of-way may be allowed based on
consideration for traffic safety and necessary preservation of roadside
space and aesthetic quality. Longitudinal occupancy of non-limited access
right-of-way by private lines will require a finding of significant economic
hardship, the unavailability of practicable alternatives or other extenuating
circumstances.
C. Cause to be enacted, maintained and enforced, ordinances and regulations
for proper traffic operations in accordance with the plans of the
PROJECT.

DEPARTMENT, will, within their respective jurisdictions, take such action as is
necessary to assure that the roadway right-of-way, cleared as the PROJECT, will be
maintained free of such obstacles.
C. On projects for the construction of bikeways, the parties will enact no ordinances or
regulations prohibiting the use of bicycles on the facility hereinbefore described as the
PROJECT, and will amend any existing restrictive ordinances in this regard so as to
allow use of this facility by bicycles. No motorized vehicles shall be permitted on such
bikeways or walkways constructed as the PROJECT except those for maintenance
purposes.
D. Failure of the parties hereto to fulfill their respective responsibilities as outlined herein
may disqualify that party from future Federal-aid participation in projects on roads or
streets for which it has maintenance responsibility. Federal Aid may be withheld until
such time as deficiencies in regulations have been corrected, and the improvements
constructed as the PROJECT are brought to a satisfactory condition of maintenance.
