REGULAR MEETING
February 10, 2005
Hearing; Case 2005-08: Request to rezone the properties located at 2111 and 2123
McCracken Street and also 2117 and 2125 Lakeshore Drive from R-1 Single Family
Residential to RM-1 Low Density Multiple-Family Residential district, by Greg Hodge
(Hodge Development Services, LLC).
BACKGROUND
Applicant: Hodge Development, Greg Hodge, 2170 Eagle Blvd. Holland, MI
Property Address/Location: 2111 & 2123 McCracken Street and 2117 & 2125 Lakeshore Drive
Present Land Use: 2125 Lakeshore Drive - single-family; McCracken and 2117 Lakeshore
Drive, vacant
Current Zoning: R-1, Single Family Residential
Proposed Zoning: RM-1, Low Density Multiple Family Residential
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1. The applicant withdrew the original request for rezoning of the property to RM-1 at the
October 14, 2004, Planning Commission meeting. (The associated Preliminary PUD review
was subsequently tabled at that same meeting.) The applicant resubmitted an identical request
at the December 16, 2004 meeting, which was recommended for denial to City Commission.
City Commission denied the request at their January 25, 2005 meeting.
2. The only change to the rezoning request is that all of the property located at 2137 McCracken
has been excluded, as well as the Southerly 55 feet of2123 McCracken.
3. Since the preliminary site plan submitted with this rezoning request show that the proposed
development doesn't meet the front or rear setback requirements and no commercial element
is included in the request, a PUD application would need to be resubmitted by the applicant
and approved by the Planning Commission.
4. The subject property is located at the southwest comer of Lakeshore Drive and McCracken
Street. The parcels along McCracken Street are renmants of a former railroad right-of-way
and the two along Lakeshore Avenue are platted lots. The entire project site is zoned R-1, as
are all properties on the block. Across Lakeshore Avenue, zoning of properties within the
notification area include R-1 and B-4. Across McCracken Street, the properties facing
Lakeshore are zoned RM-1 and those facing Han'ison A venue are zoned R-1. Zoning of
properties to the south, across Harrison, is R-1. The neighborhood is predominantly single
3
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 2/10/05
family residential other than along Lakeshore Avenue, where there is a mix of single and multi
family uses, commercial uses and vacant land.
5. The Future Land Use Map shows the subject property to be "Single & Two-Family
Residential." It is adjacent to the "Lakeside Pedestrian Scale Mixed-Use Area" across
Lakeshore Drive, which promotes "pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use development and
redevelopment."
6. The Master Land Use Plan states:
+ It is the goal of the Master Plan to retain the McGraft Park Residential Sub-Area as single
family in orientation. As such, the Master Plan supports ongoing efforts towards the
rehabilitation of mature housing stock for continuing single family use and, where
feasible, the construction of new single family detached homes. Moreover, those features
of the sub-area considered highly beneficial to the area's residential character, aesthetic
quality and life style should be fully protected and, where necessary, enhanced. These
include McGraft Park, Seyferth Playfield, and tributaries ofRuddiman Lagoon.
+ While fostering the above goal, it is aclmowledged that a limited range of commercial and
office activities are appropriate to select segments of Lakeshore Drive and Sherman
Boulevard. Typically, non-residential uses should be oriented to the needs of the local
populace. Such development should be highly controlled pursuant to type, location, and
design in order to prevent negative impacts of the sub-area's residential focus.
7. The Master Plan recommends for this sub-area:
+ Maintain the character of the sub-area as single family residential. Limited
multiple-family may be permitted provided:
o Residential density (units per acre) does not exceed underlying single family
standards by more than 50%;
o Sufficient onsite parking exists to accommodate all units;
o The character of the multiple family complex (building and site) must be consistent
with that of surrounding residential development;
o All units should have on-site access to at least (I) stall of an enclosed garage; and
o All projects should be subject to site plan review by the Planning Commission.
8. Though the subject property is not located within it, it is adjacent to the Lakeside area. The
City of Muskegon Waterfront Redevelopment Sub-Plan 1999 recognizes the residential
character of the Lakeside area and recommends mostly residential with some mixed-use
commercial/office and residential development that utilizes and respects local vernacular
styles for the design of new buildings and preserves views of the lake.
9. The RM-1 district permits multiple family dwellings, up to 16 dwelling units per acre; current
R-1 zoning permits single family detached dwellings, up to seven (7) dwelling units per acre.
The PUD option allows for mixed land uses that are compatible with each other. The
maximum number of units permitted on the site are approximately: R-1, 3 dwelling units; R-
T, 4 dwelling units; RM-1, 8 dwelling units.
10. Since this is strictly a rezoning request, the site plan wasn't routed to Fire, Police or Public
Works Departments.

single family dwellings and such other uses as schools, parks, churches, and certain public
facilities which serve residents of the district. It is the intent of these districts to recognize that the
City of Muskegon has been developed and platted with some lots that are smaller than those found
in recently urbanized communities, and the standards in Section 2100 reflect residential
development standards that the citizens of Muskegon find to be compatible.

RECOMMENDATION
The intent of the RM-1 zone district is to provide sites for multiple family dwellings that will
generally serve as zones of transition between the nonresidential districts and lower density one and
two family residential districts. Some of the primary differences between the R-1 and RM-1 zone
districts are: principal uses permitted in the RM-1 zone are more intensive than those in the R-1 zone;
greater allowable density; and greater flexibility with the PUD option in the RM-1 zone. Based upon
the goals and recommendations ofthe Master Plan, however, the requested RM-1 zone is a more
intense zone district than expected for the area, though there is previously zoned RM-1 property
directly across McCracken Street.
Further, the Master Plan recommendation that the density not exceed 50% of the allowable R-1
density is not satisfied by the RM-1 zone. Recommended density should not exceed 10.5 dwelling
units per buildable acre; RM-1 zoning permits 16.
By comparison, the RT Two Family Residential District's Principal Uses Permitted are comparable to
the R-1 zone and it allows 10 dwelling units per buildable acre, while the PUD option still allows
mixed uses. Though staff finds the RT zone more appropriate for the site per the 1997 Master Plan
and the 1999 Waterfront Redevelopment Sub-Plan, development in the area has not necessarily
mirrored the expectations at the times when those plans were adopted.
Based upon the above analysis, staff is recommending denial of the request to rezone the subject
property from R-1 to RM-1 because the request does not conform to the goals and recommendations
of the 1997 Master Plan, finding that the RT zone is more appropriate. Should the Planning
Commission fmd that the goals and recommendations of the current plans are not reflective of current
conditions and expected trends, and choose to recommend the City Commission rezone the property,
appropriate changes in the Master Plan should be made at or before the next major Master Plan
update.
DELffiERATION
Criteria-based questions typically asked during a rezoning include:
1. 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?
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?
13
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 zouing 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 properties located 2117& 2125 Lakeshore Drive and 2111
McCracken & the Northerly 29 feet of2123 McCracken Street, from R-1 Single Family Residential to
RM -1 Low Density Multiple-Family Residential 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 detenuination of (compliance/lack of compliance) with the intent of the
City Master Land Use Plan and zoning district intent.

Recitals
A. The City Commission has received an Application for an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Exemption
Certificate from VanSlooten Tree Farms, Inc., to apply to the improvements located in an Obsolete

B. The City of Muskegon is a qualified local governmental unit as determined by STC Bulletin No.9 of
2000, dated July 12, 2000.
C. An Obsolete Property Rehabilitation District in which the application property is located was
established after hearing on February 22, 2005, being the same date that the district was
established.
D. The taxable value of the property proposed to be exempt, plus the aggregate taxable value of
properties already exempted under PA 146 of 2000 and under PA 198 of 1974, does not exceed five
percent (5%) of the total taxable value of the City of Muskegon.
E. In the event it is determined that the said taxable values do exceed five percent (5%), the City
Commission determines further that the said excedence will not have the effect of substantially
impeding the operation of the City of Muskegon or impairing the financial soundness of any affected
taxing units.
F. This resolution of approval is considered by the City Commission on February 22, 2005, after a public
hearing as provided in Section 4(2) of PA 146 of 2000. The hearing was held on this date.
G. The applicant, Van S/ooten Tree Farms, Inc., is not delinquent any taxes related to the facility.
H. The exemption to be granted by this resolution is for eleven (11) years.
I. The City Commission finds that the property for which the Obsolete Property Rehabilitation

from the applicant all the items required by Section 9 of the application form, being the general
description of the obsolete facility, a general description of the proposed use, a description of the
general nature and extent of the rehabilitation to be undertaken, a descriptive list of fixed building
equipment that will be part of the rehabilitated facility, a time schedule for undertaking and complete
the rehabilitation, and statement of the economic advantages expected from the exemption.
J. Commencement of the rehabilitation has not occurred before the establishment of the district.
K. The application relates to a rehabilitation program that when completed will constitute a rehabilitated
within the meaning of PA 146 of 2000 and will be situated within the Obsolete Property Rehabilitation
District established by the City under PA 146 of 2000.
L. Completion of the rehabilitated facility is calculated to and will, at the time of the issuance of the
Certificate, have the reasonable likelihood to increase commercial activity and create employment; it
will revitalize an urban area. The rehabilitation will include improvements aggregating more than ten
percent (10%) of the true cash value of the property at the commencement of the rehabilitation.
M. The City Commission determines that the applicant shall have twelve (12) months to complete the
rehabilitation. It shall be completed by February 22, 2006, or one year after the Certificate is issued,
whichever occurs later.
N. That notice pursuant to statute has been timely given to the applicant, the assessor for the City of
Muskegon, representatives of the affected taxing units and the general public.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COMMISSION RESOLVES:

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
Fot·
Fair St., Torrent to Addison
The proposed "Milling & resurfacing" Work on Fair between Torrent & Addison was a city
initiated and part of the adopted CIP project list. This project was initially selected for only a
milling & resurfacing to improve the surface conditions and to prolong it"s life-cycle. However,
when design started, we felt that widening the street by 3' (on the north side) would enhance the
street's appearance as well as make it more suitable to vehicular and brought it closer to be in
compliance with established standards. The existing width of pavement, which was constructed
back in 1949, is 20' from back of curb to back of curb, the new pavement will be, if the district is
created, 23' back of curb to back of curb giving the vehicles traffic closer to 10' of travel lane
instead of the 9' they presently have.
The PC! for this section of roadway makes the proposed work of, Milling & resurfacing, an ideal
method of preserving the roadway. The proposed work consists of;
The proposed improvements consist of the following;
1. Removal of the entire surface and the nmtherly curb & gutter section along with some on the
southerly section to improve drainage.
2. minor water & sewer work
3. construct a new curb and gutter that is 3' north of the existing northerly curbs
4. Grade existing sub-base and the placement of two (2) 1.5" of asphalt courses.
The proposed improvements will address the at least two of the established goals;
• Improve the City's infrastructure
• Enhance the appearance of that area.
A memorandum ti·om the Assessor's office, which addresses appraisal and benefits to abutting
properties, is attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is approximately $100,000
with the length of the project being approximately 1000 lineal feet or 1391.08 of assessable
footage. This translates into an estimated improvement cost of $72 per assessable foot. The
assessment figure will be at a cost not to exceed $14.91 per assessable foot. This figure is
prorated due to the fact that the proposed width of the street is only 23' rather than the standard
27' for which the assessment would be @ $17.50 according to the 2005 Special Assessment for
this type of improvement.

Mr. Al-Shatel:
District4 In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment
Marvin R. Engle district entailing the milt and resurface of Fair Avenue between Torrent Street and
District S Addison Street. The purpose of this analysis is to document the reasonableness of this
special assessment district by identifying and quantifying any accrued benefits. It is
Louis A. McMurray
District9 subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power and
eminent domain. The effective date is February 9, 2005.
Robert Scolnik
District 11 In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this
I. John Snider II
District 3
project. The amounts reflect the sum of the immediate estimated value enhancement
and the intrinsic value that will accrue from an overall increase in property values due
Nancy A. Waters to an improved quality of life created by the proposed project. As previously
District 6
presented, the proposed special assessment district encompasses primarily residential
Stephen R. Wisniewski properties. The front foot rate of$17.50 for the mill and resurface of the above
District 1 mentioned project area appears reasonable in light of an analysis that indicates a
possible enhancement of $19.07. The conclusions are based upon the data presented
within this limited analysis in restricted format, and on supporting information in my
files.

The City of Muskegon is asking for your support for improvement of the street adjoining your
property located at PROPERTY ADDRESS.
The City of Muskegon believes that by making the proposed street improvements you will
have less road noise, dust, and wear and tear on your vehicle. In addition, street
improvements provide easier access for delivery of services such as snow plowing, mail
delivery, and bus service.
Called a special assessment district, the largest percentage of the proposed street
improvement will be paid for by the City of Muskegon (via local funds and or grants); however,
it will be necessary for you to cover a share of the cost (which you can spread over a period of
ten years) based on the amount of property you own bordering the street. A description of the
project, including the associated cost to you and the City, is located in the documents
attached to this letter.
While the City of Muskegon believes that the proposed improvements will result in a safer and
cleaner street while adding curb appeal to your property, you do have the right to ask further
questions or protest participation in this particular project. Please carefully review the
enclosed materials and call the City's Engineering Department at 724-6707 if you require
more information.
A public hearing is also scheduled for this project on FEBRUARY 22, 2005. If you attend this
public hearing you will be given an opportunity to make comments on the proposed special
assessment district to the commission.
Also located in this packet of materials is a Special Assessment Hearing Response Card. If
mailed back to the City of Muskegon City Clerk's Office before the scheduled public hearing
your vote will be added to the tabulation of votes during the public hearing. If you do not send
in this form your vote counts as "in favor" of the project.
Thank you for your participation in improving the quality of life in the Muskegon community.

REGULAR MEETING
February 10, 2005
Hearing; Case 2005-07; Request for final Planned Unit Development approval for a

Property (100 Muskegon Mall) by, Chris McGuigan (Downtown Muskegon
Development Corporation).
BACKGROUND
Applicant: Downtown Muskegon Development Corporation, Chris McGuigan, 425 W.
Western Avenue, Muskegon
Property Address/Location: 100 Muskegon Mall (Former Muskegon Mall site)
Request: Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) Approval
Present Land Use: Vacant
Zoning: B-3, Central Business
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1. The subject property is the site of former Muskegon Mall, encompassing
approximately eight blocks downtown.
2. The Preliminary PUD was approved by both the Planning Conunission and City
Conunission in August 2004.
3. Five vacant buildings remain on the site, and are original to Muskegon's downtown.
4. A copy of "DMDC Design Standards" was submitted as part of the request. The applicant
wishes to adopt these standards as part of the Final PUD.
5. The applicant provided staff with a "General Explanation of Submittal", as well as a
"Proposed Features and Vision" statement, copies of which are enclosed. These
documents could be incorporated into the final approval, as well.
6. What the applicant would like to accomplish through the Final PUD process is gain
approval for the proposed locations of all streets, sidewalks, parking areas, service drives,
and building locations.
7. There are 914 parking spaces proposed for the site. The old Muskegon Mall site had
approximately 1,032 spaces.
8. The site is located in the "Downtown Parking Overlay District", which means any uses,
except residential, may use on-street parking for up to 30% of their required parking area.
9. Also, "parking areas for other than single, or two-family residential uses may be located
up to 1,000 feet from the building they are intended to serve and may be provided in any
zoning district except the R-1 district".

RE: Final Amendments to 2004 Budget
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Adoption of the attached year-end amendments to the
City's 2004 Budget to assure compliance with the State Uniform Budget Act. This act
requires that budgets for "governmental-type" funds (i.e. general fund and special revenue
funds) be amended so that expenditures are not reported in the City's audit as exceeding
legal appropriations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: These budget amendments establish the final 2004 authorized
revenue estimates and spending limits for the various City departments and funds. ~he
attached schedule shows how the amended budget varies from the original budget
!
(j'.
d
subsequent budget reforecasts) previously approved by the City Commission.

Memo
To: City Commission
From: Finance Director
Date: February 16, 2005
Re: 2004 Final Budget Amendments
Attached is a copy of the city's final 2004 amended budget The city was able to manage
through a very tough economy and maintain the general fund balance level at the policy
target of 10% of prior-year expenditures. Following are some of the 2004 budget highlights:
Revenues
General Fund revenues totaled $23,377,871 which is $133,011 more than originally
budgeted. Three primary general fund revenue sources, when taken together, account for
seventy-nine percent of total general fund income: income tax, property tax, and state shared
revenues.
City income tax -Income tax revenues were up $462,144 from the prior year and surpassed
the $7 million mark for only the second time. The increase is attributable almost entirely to
the diligent collection efforts of Income Tax department staff combined with the "AiR amnesty
program" which the commission approved in late summer. The downside of these efforts is
that about 75% of the increased income tax revenue is to be considered "one-time" and not a
recurring income stream to be counted on for 2005.
Property tax - 2004 total property tax revenues were $6,733,653, little changed from the
2003 level ($6,713,432).
State-shared revenue- State shared revenues continued their decline dropping from
$4,938,861 in 2003 to $4,651 ,365, a decrease of $287,496. The city's state revenue-sharing
allocation peaked at $5,748,523 in 2002 and has declined $1,097,158 since thattime.
• Page 1
0:\FINANCE\PAUL\MyDocuments\MEMO ·CITY COMMISSION 2004 BUDGET REVIEW.doc
Budget Stabilization Fund Transfer- Another key resource in the city's budget picture is the
budget stabilization fund. Throughout 2004 it had been anticipated that a $500,000 transfer
would be needed to balance the city's budget. The strong performance of the income tax
during the latter part of the year reduced the required transfer amount to $250,000,
preserving resources for future needs.
Expenditures
General fund expenditures totaled $23,416,869 through December 31, 2004 which is
$214,845 less than originally budgeted and $288,465 less than spent in 2003. The actual
level of cutbacks was considerably greater since the 2004 expense figure includes a one-
time $265,000 write-down of accounts receivable related to previously approved changes in
the invoicing process for lot mowing and environmental clean-up activities. Expenses were
controlled, even in the face of rapidly rising employee benefit costs, by holding positions
vacant, freezing wages for some employees, and eliminating non-essential expenses such
as travel. Particularly effective were departments' efforts to control overtime costs: general
fund overtime was reduced from $721,822 in 2003 to $508,624 in 2004, a nearly 30%
reduction.
In addition to the well-known factors negatively impacting the city's budget (rising benefit
costs, state-shared revenues, etc.), you should be aware of the following issues included in
the final 2004 budget amendments and which likely will impact future budgets as well:
• Arena/Marina - The LC Walker Arena had, in relative terms, a good year as it was
not necessary to further increase the general fund subsidy from the original budgeted
amount of $200,000. Hartshorn Marina, however, had poor financial results and we
have included in the final 2004 budget amendments a $40,000 transfer to the Marina
fund. The state recently granted some relief by allowing us to increase the number of
seasonally-rented slips by ten. We will submit again next year to have additional
slips moved to seasonal status.
• Sidewalks - As you know, the city is coming to the close of its ambitious citywide
sidewalk improvement program. The program was financed by issuing bonds to pay
construction costs and levying assessments against benefiting properties to repay
the bonds. It was known from the outset that there would ultimately be a gap due to
"unassessable" properties that nonetheless received improvements. These include
properties that were in tax-reverted status at the time of the assessment (or
subsequent to the assessment), some school or otherwise exempted properties and,
assessments deemed uncollectible for any other reason. Also impacting the program
were the high number of early assessment pay-offs caused by homeowners taking
advantage of low interest rates to refinance or sell their homes. Cash currently on
hand, together with new collections, is expected to be adequate through 2008.
However, staff recommends that we begin now to address the future obligation by
transferring $125,000 to the Sidewalk fund as part of the year-end budget
amendments.
Finally, I have included 2005 budget figures on the attached schedule for comparison
purposes only. At this time there is not enough information available to warrant changes to
the 2005 budget. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you.
