REGULAR MEETING
February 15, 2007
Hearing; Case 2007-04: Staff initiated request to amend Section 2319, (Residential Design
Criteria, # 22 of Article XXIII, General Provisions, regarding vegetative ground cover
BACKGROUND
There have been complaints recently regarding the use of dune grass as "vegetative ground
cover" in a Lakeside development. Although staff has informed the developer that he would
need to provide a lawn within one year, staff felt it may be in the best interest of future
developments and the City to strengthen the language and made it very clear as to what is
required. The new language below is the way in which this section has been applied in the
past, but hopefully the clarification of the actual language will help in the future.
NEW LANGUAGE
Deletions are erossed em and additions are in bold.
22. Each dwelling unit shall have an approved established vegetative ground cover,
native to the immediate area within 600 feet, no less than 12 months after
occupancy. Approval shall be given by zoning staff of the Planning Department
as part of the initial residential site plan review. A minimum of one shade tree, two
and one-half inches (2.5") in diameter, four feet (4') from the ground or one six foot
(6') evergreen tree shall be provided. Existing landscaping may be accepted in lieu of
this requirement.
DELIBERATION
I move that the amendment to Section 2319, #22, (Residential Design Criteria) of Article
XXIII, General Provisions, of the City of Muskegon Zoning Ordinance, be recommended to
the City Commission for (approval/denial).

City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
February 2007
I. INTRODUCTION
In order to promote the revitalization of commercial, industrial, and residential properties
within the boundaries of the City of Muskegon (the "City"), the City established the City
of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (the "Authority") pursuant to Act 381
of 1996, Public Acts of Michigan, as amended ("Act 381"), and a resolution adopted by
the Muskegon City Commission on February 10, 1998.
The major purpose of this Brownfield Plan ("Plan") is to promote the redevelopment of
eligible properties within the City that are impacted by the presence of hazardous
substances in concentrations that exceed Michigan's Part 201 Generic Cleanup Criteria
("facilities") or that have been determined to be Functionally Obsolete or Blighted.
Inclusion of property within this Plan can facilitate financing of environmental response
activities, infrastructure improvements, demolition, lead or asbestos abatement, and site
preparation activities at eligible properties; and may also provide tax incentives to
eligible taxpayers willing to invest in revitalization of eligible properties. By facilitating
redevelopment of underutilized eligible properties, the Plan is intended to promote
economic growth fro the benefit of the residents of the City and all taxing units located
within and benefited by the Authority.
This plan is intended to be a living document, which can be amended as necessary to
achieve the purposes of Act 381. It is specifically anticipated that properties will be
continually added to the Plan as new projects are identified. The Plan contains general
provisions applicable to each site included in the Plan, as well as property-specific
information for each project. The applicable Sections of Act 381 are noted throughout
the Plan for reference purposes.
This Brownfield Plan contains the information required by Section 13(1) of Act 381, as
amended. Additional information is available from the City Manager.
City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
February 2007
II. GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. Costs of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(1 ){a))
Any site-specific costs of implementing this Plan are described in the site-specific
section of the Plan. Site-specific sources of funding may include tax increment financing
revenue generated from new development on eligible brownfield properties, state and
federal grant or loan funds, and/or private parties. Where private parties finance the
costs of eligible activities under the Plan, tax increment revenues may be used to
reimburse the private parties. The initial costs related to preparation of the Brownfield
Plan were funded by the City's general fund. Subsequent amendments to the Plan are
funded by the person requesting inclusion of a project in the Plan.
The Authority intends to pay for administrative costs and all of the things necessary or
convenient to achieve the objectives and purposes of the Authority with any eligible tax
increment revenues collected pursuant to the Plan, including, but not limited to:
i) the cost of financial tracking and auditing the funds of the Authority,
ii) costs for amending and/or updating this Plan, including legal fees, and
iii) costs for Plan implementation
These eligible tax increment revenues are identified in the site-specific sections of this
Plan. As noted above, most costs related to the preparation of Plan amendments are
borne by the person requesting inclusion of a project within the Plan.
B. Method for Financing Costs of Plan (Section 13(1)(d) and (e)))
The Authority does not intend at this time to incur debt, such as through the issuance of
bonds or other financing mechanisms. In the future, the City or Brownfield Authority may
incur some debt on a site-specific basis. Please refer to the site-specific section of this
Plan for details on any debt to be incurred by the City or Authority. When a property
proposed for inclusion in the Plan is in an area where tax increment financing is a viable
option, the Authority intends to enter into Development Agreements with the property
owners/developers of properties included in the Plan to reimburse them for the costs of
eligible activities undertaken pursuant to this Plan. Financing arrangements will be
specified in the Development Agreement, and also identified in the Site Specific section
of the Plan.
City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
February 2007
C. Duration of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(1)(0)
The Plan, as it applies to a specific eligible property, shall be effective up to five (5)
years after the year in which the total amount of any tax increment revenue captured is
equal to the total costs of eligible activities attributable to the specific eligible property, or
thirty (30) years from the date of approval of the Plan as it relates to an individual site,
whichever is less. The total costs of eligible activities include the cost of principal and
interest on any note or obligation issued by the Authority to pay for the costs of eligible
activities, the reasonable costs of a work plan or remedial action plan, the actual costs of
the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality's or Michigan Economic Growth
Authority's review of the work plan or remedial action plan, and implementation of the
eligible activities.
D. Displacement/Relocation of Individuals on Eligible Properties
(Section 13(1 Ji, i,k,I))
At this time, eligible properties identified in this Plan do not contain residences, nor are
there any current plans or intentions by the City for identifying eligible properties that will
require the relocation of residences. Therefore the provisions of Section 13(1)(i-l) are
not applicable at this time.
E. Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund (Section 8: Section 13(1)(m))
At the time this Plan includes a property for which taxes will be captured through the
increment financing authority provided by Act 381, it is the Authority's intent to establish
a Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund ("Fund"). The Fund will consist of tax
increment revenues that exceed the costs of eligible activities incurred on an eligible
property, as specified in Section 13(5) of Act 381. Section 13(5) authorizes the capture
of tax increment revenue from an eligible property for up to 5 years after the time that
capture is required for the purposes of paying the costs of eligible activities identified in
the Plan. It is the intention of the Authority to continue to capture tax increment
revenues for 5 years after eligible activities are funded from those properties identified
for tax capture in the Plan. The amount of school operating taxes captured for the
Revolving Fund will be limited to the amount of school operating taxes captured for
eligible activities under this Plan. It may also include funds appropriated or otherwise
made available from public or private sources.
The Revolving Fund may be used to reimburse the Authority, the City, and private
parties for the costs of eligible activities at eligible properties and other costs as
permitted by Act 381. It may also be used for eligible activities on eligible properties for
which there is no ability to capture tax increment revenues. The establishment of this
Revolving Fund will provide additional flexibility to the Authority in facilitating
redevelopment of brownfield properties by providing another source of financing for
necessary eligible activities.
City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
February 2007
Ill. SITE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
P. HOT ROD HARLEY DAVIDSON
Eligibility and Project Summary (Sec. 13(1)(hl)
The Hot Rod Harley project involves redevelopment of over 5 acres of property located
between Shoreline Drive, Terrace Street, and Western Ave., an area most recently
referred to as the Terrace Lots. This property was formerly part of the Teledyne
Continental Motors manufacturing facility. The project is located directly south of
Edison Landing, and east of the new National City Bank Building. A legal description,
map and site plan is included in Attachment P-1.
Several "eligible activities" have already been undertaken on the property. The subject
property has been determined to be "eligible property'' as defined by Act 381 through
information obtained from Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments and a
Baseline Environmental Assessment conducted by Lakeshore Environmental on August
18, 2006. Historic fill materials containing elevated concentrations of heavy metals,
similar to those found to exist along the Muskegon Shoreline, have been documented in
site soils, thereby defining the site as a "facility" pursuant to Part 201 of the Natural
Resources and Environmental Protection Act. A Due Care Plan has been prepared to
assure site redevelopment does not exacerbate these environmental conditions, and to
assure that no unacceptable exposures result from the redevelopment. This eligible
property includes all real and personal property.
Hot Rod Harley Davidson is a full-service Harley Davidson Motorcycle dealership,
currently located at 590 Ottawa Street in Muskegon. They intend to relocate their
business to Downtown Muskegon, to become a part of Muskegon's new revitalized
downtown and Muskegon Lake shoreline area. Hot Rod Harley hopes to attract
motorcyclists from throughout Michigan and the Midwest through a week-long
motorcycle festival (Bike Week).
The project will include removal of the former concrete foundation and former tunnels,
relocating utilities, construction of new infrastructure, and placement of fill materials to
raise the site grade and serve as a cap for impacted soils. A new steel and brick 2-story
40,000 square foot building will be constructed to house the new Hot Rod Harley
Davidson display showroom for Harley Davidson Motorcycles and apparel, Service
Department, Parts Department, parts storage area and motorcycle storage areas. The
exterior will include landscaping, parking, and drive areas, including a large parking lot to
the east of the main building. Site preparation activities have been ongoing since
summer of 2006; construction on the new building is planned to start in spring 2007.
Hot Rod Harley currently employs 20 with an average annual salary ranging from $30 -
$35,000. The new location will allow them to add 10 employees. The total estimated
capital investment in the project is estimated at over $3. 7 million.
Eligible Activities, Financing, Cost of Plan (Sec. 13(1)(a),(b),(c),(d),(g))
Eligible activities that have been conducted on the Property by the purchaser/developer
include completion of a Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessment, and preparation
City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
February 2007
of a Baseline Environmental Assessment and Section 7a (Due Care) Compliance
Analysis. Due Care response activities will also be undertaken by the developer as
required by the Due Care Plan, such as capping impacted soils. However, no eligible
activity costs are proposed to be financed with tax increment revenues, since all new tax
increments are already being captured through the ODA. As such, there are no costs to
the City of Muskegon or its taxing jurisdictions as a result of the Hot Rod Harley
Davidson project being included in this Plan.
Single Business Tax Credit
The Hot Rod Harley project is included in the Plan to enable "qualified taxpayers" as
defined by Section 38d of Act 228 of 1975, as amended, to avail themselves of eligibility
for a credit against their Michigan single business tax liability for "eligible investments" as
defined by P.A. 228. "Eligible Investments" include demolition, construction, restoration,
alteration, renovation, or improvement of buildings or site improvements on eligible
property and the addition of machinery, equipment, and fixtures to eligible property after
the effective date of this Plan Amendment.
Effective Date of Inclusion in Brownfield Plan

2/19/2007
Staff Report (EXCERPT)
CITY OF MUSKEGON
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
Febrnruy 15, 2007
Hearing; Case 2007-05: Staff initiated request to amend Section 2308, (Outdoor
Seating), of Article XXIII, General Provisions, to add language for outdoor seating for
restaurants and similar uses.
BACKGROUND
Staff knows of at least two restaurants on Western Avenue who want to add outdoor
seating to their businesses. With the development of the downtown moving forward at a
rapid pace, it seems like the right time to put this language in place to help regulate
outdoor seating in all commercial areas. This language helps protect established
businesses from street vendors who may tty to set up in front of their establishment, since
the seating must be ancillary to the main use of the building. It also helps control such
things as noise, pedestrian circulation, encroachment on the public right-of-way, and
provide for aesthetically compatible outdoor furniture.
NEW LANGUAGE
Outdoor seating for restaurants, cocktail lounges, and similar uses is permitted,
provided:
1. The area devoted to outdoor seating must be ancillary to the main use of
au indoor restaurant, cocktail lounge, bakery, coffee shop, delicatessen,
specialty food store, or similar establishment.
2. Pedestrian circulation and access to the building entrance shall not be
impaired. A minimum of three (3) feet of sidewall{ along the curb and
leading to the entrance to the establishment must be maintained free of
tables, chairs, and other encumbrances.
3. The seating area shall be limited to the same property directly adjacent to
the permitted use to which the seating area is accessory and shall not
extend into adjoining sites. If adjoining sites both have a seating area,
there shall be a divider between them.
4. Tables, chairs, umbrellas, canopies, planters, waste receptacles, and
other elements of street furniture shall be compatible with the
architectural character of the principal building.
5. Outdoor amplification shall be prohibited except only to play music in
compliance with Code of Ordinances, City of Muskegon, Part II, Chapter
2
26, Article II, Noise, Division I, Generally, Sec. 2634, (a & b) "Playing of
radios, musical instruments, etc."
6. The area devoted to outdoor service shall not encroach upon or extend
over any public alley or right-of-way without an encroachment
agreement with the City of Muskegon.
7. A site plan shall be submitted which clearly depicts the seating area and
location and style of tables and chairs, reflecting ample aisles for
pedestrian traffic, and dividers, if needed.
8. The outdoor seating area shall not obstruct visibility of on-coming
pedestrians or vehicular traffic, and must adhere to clear visions
standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
9. The sale of alcoholic beverages is subject to the rules and regulations of
the State of Michigan Liquor Control Commission. An outdoor service
permit may be required as part of the site plan approval.
10. All outdoor furnishings shall be completely removed from sidewalk areas
December 1 through March 1 of each year.
11. The area devoted to such outdoor dining area shall be maintained in a
safe, clean, and sanitary manner.

RE: Environmental Program Mowing and Trash Clean-up Contract
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The contract for mowing of lots and trash clean up of public and private properties is
currently held by Freelance Enterprises Inc. and will expire on March 29, 2007.
Included in this contract was an option to extend for one year, expiring on March 29,
2008. The contractor has indicated he wishes to exercise the one year extension.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The 2005 bids came in lower than the amounts paid under the previous contract
which resulted in cost savings to the city .. Considering the increases in costs the
contractor has faced since this bid was accepted, staff expects a new contract would
bring with it higher costs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the one year contract extension with Freelance Enterprises (see
attachments), for the mowing of lots and trash removal on properties located within
the city.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None

RE: Request for Technical Assistance for HUD Lead
Abatement Grant Submittal
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The State, through the Housing and Urban
Development Department (HUD), has grant funds available to assist
with lead abatement in houses. The grant amounts are up to $3 million.
The actual grant application is very extensive and requires technical
assistance. The State has $10,000 in technical assistance funds
available if the City is willing to match that amount. It is necessary to
submit a letter to the State requesting the technical assistance.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The State will pay for $10,000, to be matched by
$10,000 of local CDBG funds.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: The CDBG budget will need to be
amended to reflect this expenditure.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the request for technical
assistance funds from the State and authorize the Mayor to sign the
attached letter.
