SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the sale of one-half of a vacant buildable lot

the two houses be closed to discourage front yard parking. The other half of the
lot will be joined to the property at 428 Marquette, which is owned by the
Community & Neighborhood Services Department and has been developed with
an In-Fill house. Approval of this sale will allow the adjacent property owners to
expand their current yards (see attached map). Although this sale is not in
accordance with City policy for the sale of buildable lots, unusual circumstances
prompted the LRC to recommend approval. The cost of the lot will be $100 and

on the City's tax rolls thus relieving the City of continued maintenance costs.

CITY OF MUSKEGON

either side of McLaren St., north of Wesley Ave. The applicant is asking to vacate the south 108.35
feet of McLaren St. (directly adjacent to the proposed development) in order to create one
contiguous parcel for the development.
The Depaitment of Public Works has stated that there are water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer
utilities in this area of McLaren and that if vacated, a suitable utility easement would need to be
retained by the City. The City Engineer has stated "Due to the presence of public utilities, the
limitation that vacating 108' would place on snow plowing operation and other traffic related
restrictions and the fact that this street provides a convenient access to and from Getty Street to
those that reside on the street compel me to recommend against". The Fire Marshal has stated
"After a recent overview by the fire depaitment, it has been determined that McLaren Street cannot
be vacated. Fire department access must be maintained due to existing structures".
Staff has received comments from one resident along McLaren St., Selby Washington, 536
McLai·en St. Mr. Washington stated that he has concerns with only having one way out from his
prope1ty, and that he does not want to see the portion of street vacated. Staff received a phone call
from Tressa Duncan with questions only.

Muskegon, MI. 49442 November 1, 2002
We would like you to add us to the agenda for the City Commission meeting being
conducted on November 26, 2002.
The Issue we would like to discuss is the maintenance and care of the five existing
POW/MIA Flags located at:
a) The Welcome to Muskegon Shoreline sign (Muskegon Ave. & Ninth St.)
b) Hackley Park
c) City Hall
d) L.C. Walker Arena (Outside)
e) L.C. Walker Arena (Inside)
Over the last Twelve Months Rolling Thunder®, Inc. West Michigan Chapter 4 has taken
care of the maintenance of these flags. Through an agreement obtained last November with
the City of Muskegon.
The purpose of this agreement was to see if another organization would come forward and
request that the City fly their Flag because of letting the POW /MIA Flag fly. We hope this
has not happened, as we stated at the last meeting that the POW /MIA Flag is a Nationally
recognized Flag, and not an organizational Flag, and should not pose a problem.
We will be asking the same thing as we did last November. That the City of Muskegon
continue to fly the POW /MIA Flags and to pick up the care and maintenance of the flags.
We have found that approximately Two Flags per year are required for each location with
the exception of the one displayed inside the L.C. Walker Arena, which should require no
maintenance.
If you were to purchase the Flags through us the total cost per year would be $212.00.
4) 4 X 6's@ $29.00 ea. and 4) 3 X S's.@ $24.00 ea.

Staff Report [EXCERPT]
CITY OF MUSKEGON
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
November 14, 2002
Hearing; Case 2002-53: Staff-initiated request to rezone property at 2330 Barclay St. from
RM-1, Low Density Multiple-Family Residential to R-1, Single-Family Residential.
BACKGROUND
The subject prope1ty is located on Barclay St., between Sherman Blvd. and Hackley Ave. In
September of 1998, the City's Master Land Use Map (part of the Master Land Use Plan) was
amended to change the designated use from "Quasi-Governmental" to "Single and Two-Family
Residential" for a portion ofprope1ty on Barclay St. which includes the subject prope1ty. An
excerpt from the staff report for that change is included below:
Case 998-27 Ame11dme11t to the City Master P/(111
For lands straddling Barclay. North ofSherman and directly South of Hackley.
Portions of this area have been the subject of debate in the past. Most recently, a multi-family development and a
charter school have been considered The multi-family development ·was delayed until the Master Plan was updated so
the consultants could make special analysis and recommendation of the area. The neighborhood, Planning
Commission and staff were concerned about additional high-density development in the area. The resultant analysis
designated part of the area as "quasi-governmental" and part "multi-family" on thejzlfure land use map. Since the
denial of a special use permit/or a school at the site, staff and the mvner are in a difficult position to determine the
most appropriate way to proceed with site development.
l'isues associated with future land use designation for this area include:
1. Sewer capacity in the general area as it relates to the "Clay Hill" phenomenon.
2. The "F" (poorest) level ofservice evaluation for the Sherman/Barclay intersection.
3. The physical condition ofBarclay.
4. The Master Plan objective/or additional new, moderate income single-family housing in Muskegon.
5. The Master Plan objective to preservation natural features - mature trees, steep slopes and stream
corridors.
6. Neighborhood and community concerns to have q better mix of housing in the area in the form of low-
density housing since there is already a large concentration of high density housing close by.
In light of the issues, it is more appropriate to promote low-density development in the area.
The subject property cunently contains the Moose Lodge. The prope1ty is listed for sale as the
Moose Lodge is planning to cease operations. Staff feels that this is an ideal time to follow the
recommendation of the amended Future Land Use Map and to rezone the prope1ty to single-family
residential. Although several issues have changed since 1998 (the physical condition of Barclay
was greatly improved by a road project, and the approval and construction of a lower-density
condominium development directly south of the subject prope1ty), the overlying issue still remains
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 11/14/02 I
in that there is a large density of multi-family housing around the Hackley Ave. and Barclay St.
intersection. Therefore, staff is proposing that the property be rezoned to R-1, Single-Family
Residential.
Staff has received one phone call from Jack at the Moose Lodge, asking who the applicant is for the
request and stating that representatives from the Moose Lodge will be at the meeting with objections
to the proposed rezoning.

Jerri Oaks was present to represent this case. Bob Grabinski gave a history of
this case. The owner had a TRO, they had a hearing in front of the judge, and he
remanded ii back to the HBA because of notification issues. The process is
started over at this point. There has not been any work done. Ms. Oaks stated
she has materials - siding, windows, and doors and she has contractors ready to
work. She stated there has been some interior work done such as painting. She
stated that she wants to know what it is she is appealing. Mr. Grabinski stated
Judge Marietti retains control over this property and his judgement was that the
city may reinstate demolition proceedings beginning with a re-hearing of this
matter before the HBA. Nick Kroes stated that the board wants to know how long
she needs to complete repairs on the house. She stated that she has contacted
a mason and engineer and should have answers soon as to when they can begin
work. She stated her engineer is Walter Nebadoom and his co-worker. She also
stated she has lost a lot of money with the whole ordeal. Mr. Grabinski stated
Walter is not a licensed engineer. She needs a licensed engineer for this project
and specific dates as to when the work can be completed. Ms. Shepherd
commented that when the city is sued people don't realize all the money that is
spent on attorneys and staff and she understands Ms. Oaks problem. She
suggested 30 days to complete the repairs. Ms. Oaks stated she just wants to
get to work, she's been on hold for a whole year, but there is no way she can do
the repairs in 30 days. Ms. Shepherd stated that the board needs to give a
deadline before it goes to the next level. Nick Kroes asked about tabling the
case for 30 days. Mr. Borgman asked for staff recommendation.
Staff Recommendation: Declare this building substandard, a public nuisance,
and dangerous building, but delay forwarding to city commission for their
concurrence for 120 days. If there is significant progress in that time the case will
not move forward. If after 120 days the progress is not significant the case will
move forward to city commission.

issued on 1/30/02. No one was present to represent the case before the HBA on
3/7/02 and the structure was declared substandard and dangerous. The owner
called the Inspection Dept. after that date and scheduled an interior inspection,
which was conducted 3/25/02. On 4/29/02 the owner called the office and
inquired on what to do next. She was informed she needed to submit a schedule
of repairs and apply for permits. There has been no contact since that date. The
city has had the structure boarded on 3 separate occasions. The case was
scheduled to go before City Commission on June 11, 2002, but the owner
worked out an agreeable arrangement with the Director of Inspections. A permit
was pulled 6/12/02 which expired 9/9/02. The case came back to the HBA in
October 2002 and the structure was declared. Since the declaration there has
been no contact from the owner and no inspections requested.

#02-01-1715 Superior- Amy Bradley, 4920 S. Brooks Rd. Fruitport, Ml
Mr. Grabinski gave a history of this case. The permit issued expired 9/9/02. The
exterior has been sided and is cleaned, but the Inspection office is not aware of
any other work being done off the inspection report.
Dave Schliewe, Amy Bradley's Father, was present and he slated this house has
been a family project. He also stated the tenant left her belongings and he was
waiting for her to come and gel them because a friend told him to be careful
about removing her things. He has sided, installed new windows, painted with
KILZ and cleaned the yard. He has an electrical contractor giving him a bid
within a week. 'He doesn't think there is anything wrong with the plumbing, but
will gel a plumber in to check it. He thinks 30 days is enough time to gel done.
He plans to sell the house and is asking for more time.
Mr. Grabinski questioned Mr. Schliewe on the fact that being a landlord and
realtor, he should have knowledge about removing the tenant's belongings
instead of listening to a friend. The interior inspection shows plumbing is
required. There is not a need to have a plumber come and look at things. The
report shows specific things that have to be repaired. The other issue is the
value on the construction permit ($3500). After listening to the amount of work
done, this will be looked into.
John Warner questioned the bowed wall in the basement. Mr. Schliewe stated a
structural engineer showed them how to fix that and it was repaired. Mr.
Grabinski stated the diagram is from 1997 dangerous building case that was
resolved before he was in his present position. It came back as a dangerous
building after the fire in January 2002.
Staff Recommendation: Declare this building substandard, a public nuisance,
and dangerous building, and forward to city commission for their concurrence.

Mr. Borgman ,tale is case is back before the boa ecause there has been

working off that to get tti s done. He also sta that he needs at least until the
spring or summer to get th of done. It is leaking and he can't get a loan to
fix it. The upstairs is not rente
Mr. Grabinski stated the electrical required a permit and one was not pulled.
If a permit had been pulled we uld h had contact. Mr. Goodno stated he
didn't realize the importance keeping in ntact, he just thought he had to get
the work done. Mr. Grabi i replied contac · very important, otherwise the
house could be torn do . The problem now i e roof and how Mr. Goodno
can get the money t epair it. Mr. Grabinski aske for a date from Mr. Goodno
and assurance th he roof is not presently leaking. r. Goodno stated he
hopes to have roof done by summer and the roof do not leak. It did leak at
one time on north side, but that is fixed.
Staff Re mmendation: Table this case until the November meet1 ermits

Article XIII (e) to be modified to read:
An employee disabled and absent from duty as a result of a work-related injury or illness
shall receive straight time salary for his/her classification without deduction from that
employee's accumulated sick leave for the period of disability and absence from work,
but not to exceed 15 calendar days commencing with the date of injury or illness which
results in disability. All workers' compensation indemnity benefits received during the
15 calendar day period shall be supplemented by the City to a sum which equals the
straight time salary of the employee. The employee, in conjunction with this benefit,
shall elect, in writing, on a form to be provided by the City whether he/she wishes to
receive workers' compensation benefits only or workers' compensation benefits
supplemented by use of the employee's accumulated sick leave as provided herein during
the period of disability. That election shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable but
not later than the 15th calendar day following the employee's absence from work caused
by the disability. In the event no election is made within the specified time frame, the
employee will receive only workers' compensation benefits during the period of
disability. The form for election will include written consent from the employee for a
deduction from gross wages, which shall be a single deduction for the full amount of any
overpayment.
The City shall use its best efforts to process the employee's reporting of the injury and all
claims and notice forms to the City's workers' compensation insurance carrier or
self-insured fund administrator in the event the employee elects to receive workers'
compensation benefits during this period. However, in the event the employee receives
duplicate benefits in both wages and workers' compensation indemnity during this 15 day
period, any overpayment will be reimbursed to the City by deduction from that
employee's wage entitlement in full a sum equal to that permitted by MCL 408.477(2).
The City's bi-weekly pay rate consisting of 14 days and the workers' compensation
indemnity rate based upon a 7-day week shall be factored for purposes of the calculation.
Sub paragraph to be added (n): ,

account of a work-related injury or illness on a 40 hour per week assignment, that
employee will be entitled to all economic benefits including vacation, personal leave, if
any, and overtime, if any, as established for existing employees working in 40 hour per
week assignments. In the event an employee fails to receive in that 40 hour per week
assignment wages equal to the average weekly wage earned at the time of injury and
properly used to calculate weekly workers' compensation indemnity benefits, that
employee shall receive partial workers' compensation indemnity benefits as provided by
the Workers' Compensation Disability Act of this state.
