RE: Sale of Buildable Vacant Lots on Oak Avenue
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
To approve the sale of the two (2) vacant buildable lots on Oak Avenue (designated as
parcel numbers 24-610-000-0056-00 and 24-610-000-0057-00) described as URBAN
RENEWAL PLAT NO 1 LOT 56 & 57 to Bantam Group, Inc., of 1290 Wood Street,
Muskegon, Ml. The combination of the two lots, which are odd shaped, results in a lot that
although it has 199 feet of frontage on the street, it is only 126 feet across the rear of the lot.
With this in mind, it would be impossible to fit the house on one of these lots without
requesting a variance. The lot is being offered to Bantam Group, Inc. for $9,040. They plan
to use the land for the construction of an approximately 1,300 sq. ft. single-family home.
The home will contain 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full basement, and a 2 stall attached
garage. The appraised value of the lot is $9,000 and the Bantam Group, Inc. submitted the
only bid of $9,040.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The sale of this lot for construction of a new home will generate additional tax revenue for
the City and will place the property back on the City's tax rolls thus relieving the City of
continued maintenance costs.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the attached resolution and to authorize both the Mayor and the Clerk to sign
said resolution.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The LRC previously recommended approval of these two lots for the construction of one
home, however that sale was never completed.

REGULAR MEETING
March 15, 2001
Hearing; Case 2001-9: Request for vacation of a portion of the existing north/south
alley in Block 285 (bounded by Sonthern Ave., Leahy St., Forest Ave. and Hoyt St.), by
the Hope Network.
BACKGROUND
In February, the Plam1ing Commission approved the site plan for the 18-unit apartment
complex being proposed by Hope Network on property located at 1589 Hoyt St. At that
meeting, there was discussion about the status of the alley located in the block. As staff has
been unable to find any data which would indicate that they alley had been previously
vacated, Hope Network is asking at this time to vacate a portion of the alley, down to the
property line of the existing home to the south of their proposed development. This way, the
alley would remain open for the use of the resident(s) of that home, but no tln·ough access
would be permitted across Hope Network's portion of vacated alley. Hope Network's site
plan calls for lawn and sidewalk over the alley - no structure is proposed. The City would
retain easement rights to the utilities located in the alley.

CITY OF MUSKEGON
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
March 15, 2001
Hearing; Case 2001-10: Staff-initiated request to rezone 38 properties located within
the boundaries of the proposed Seaway Industrial Park (bounded by Hackley Ave.,
Park St., Young Ave. and Seaway Dr.) from R-1, Single-Family Residential and 1-2,
General Industrial to 1-1, Light Industrial.
BACKGROUND
Applicant: City of Muskegon
Address/Location of Subject Property: Area bounded by Hackley, Park, Young, & Seaway.
Current Use: Various - residential, commercial and industty
Current Zoning: R-1, Single-Family Residential and I-2, General Industrial
Proposed Zoning: I-1, Light Industt'ial
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1. The subject properties are located within the boundaries of the proposed Seaway
Industrial Park, which the City has been working to develop for the past several years.
The City has been purchasing properties within the proposed park boundaries and that
process is almost completed at this time.
2. The area contains a small residential neighborhood, currently zoned R-1, of which most
properties have already been purchased by the City. The area also contains several
industries, currently zoned I-2.
3. There is one existing commercial use located within the boundaries of the proposed
industrial park, Ernie's Used Cars. This use is currently nonconforming in the I-2 district.
Staff is asking to rezone this prope1iy as well, since downzoning it to I-1, while not
bringing it into complete conformance with the ordinance, at least brings it closer to
compliance. The business would still be a nonconforming use.
4. The Future Land Use Map shows the entire area to be "Industrial", with the exception of
the prope1iy on the NE corner of Hackley Ave. and Seaway Dr., which is shown to be
"Commercial".
5. The Master Land Use Plan states:
• The area's stability varies throughout. Residential locations range from mature, well
maintained, neighborhoods to those undergoing significant decline and in need of
rehabilitation.
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 3/15/01
• Most of the industrial development is also mature in age. And, like the area's
residential development, ranges from well maintained facilities to those in need of
major rehabilitation and/or removal.
• Sub-Area Issues:
Buffers between residential and industrial development are virtually non-existent.
The small enclave of housing within the vicinity of East Hackley Avenue and
Park Street is isolated by industrial and commercial development. The suitability,
and long term survival, of residential development in this location is questionable.
6. The Master Plan recommends for this sub-area:
• Redevelop that portion of the sub-area located south and east of the industrial sector
from residential to industrial.
• Coordinate planning efforts with that of Muskegon Heights. Ofpaiiicular note is the
joint development of a small industrial park from Park to Seaway and Hackley to
Laketon.
7. The existing industries already located within the area are currently zoned I-2. Staff is
asking for the entire area to be rezoned to I-1 because the uses permitted in I-1 are more
in line with the types of businesses that staff is hoping to recrnit into the industrial park.
In general, most of the existing industries are permitted in the I-1 district as well, so that
very few, if any, nonconforming uses would be created by downzoning these prope1iies.
8. Staff received a phone call asking for information on what the request is about. The
caller did not leave a name or address. Staff also received a phone call from a Mr. Staple
on Beidler St. He also had a question asking what the request is about, ai1d stated that he
has no objections as long as the rezoning won't affect his taxes. Staff received a call from
Emery Freeman of River City Electronics, 418 W. Hackley, which is an existing industry
within the area to be rezoned. Mr. Freeman stated that he has no objections to the
rezoning.
ORDINANCE EXCERPTS

See Case #2001-7 for the excerpt ofI-2 district.
ARTICLE XIV - 1-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS
PREAMBLE
The 1-1 Light Industrial Districts are designed so as to permit wholesale, warehousing, and manufacturing
facilities whose external, physical effects have a minimum detrimental effect on the adjacent districts. It is the
intent of this article to permit, in addition to specific uses enumerated, the manufacturing, compounding,
processing, packaging, assembly, and/or treatment of finished or semifinished products from previously
prepared material. The uses permitted are those which meet a higher standard of restrictions than those
imposed in the 1-2 Zoning District, and shall be of a type other than those which produce hazardous material as
defined in the Fire Code.
SECTION 1400: PRINCIPAL USES PERMITTED
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 3/15/01 2
All principal uses of land and buildings which are erected or structurally altered or occupied shall be those
specified in this article:
1. The manufacture, compounding, processing of food, and phatmaceuticals.
2. The manufacture, compounding, or assembly of products from previously prepared materials, including but
not limited to fabrics, glass, leather, paper, metal, or plastics.
3. Machine shops and metal fmishing shops, including the incidental of casting of metal products and
alloying of furnace ready non-ferrous metals which are free of paint, oils or other organic substances.
4. Crematories.
5. Retail uses which have an industrial character in terms of either their outdoor storage requirements or
activities such as: lumber yards or motor vehicle, boat, or implement sales.
6. Storage yards.
7. Warehousing of materials not highly hazardous as defined in the Fire Code.
8. Veterinary clinics and outdoor kennels.
9. Lumber and planing mills.
10. Municipal buildings, public service buildings, auto equipment repair shops doing major repair.
11. Accessory buildings and uses customarily incidental to the above Principal Uses Permitted.
12. Uses similar to the above.
13. Non-accessory signs provided that the signs conform to Section 2308 (l)(f) of this Code.
SECTION 140 I: SPECIAL LAND USES PERMITTED
The following uses, and their accessory buildings and accessory uses, shall be permitted as a special land use if
it is found to meet the standards outlined in Section 2332 of this Ordinance, subject to the applicable conditions
imposed by Ordinance and other reasonable conditions imposed by the Planning Commission:
I. Railway or truck freight terminals located more than two hundred (200) feet from any residential
district.
2. Freestanding commercial radio, television, and similar transmission towers greater than 175 feet and
their attendant facilities.
3. Paint manufacturing.
4. Accessory buildings and accessory uses customarily incidental to any of the above Special Laud Uses
Permitted.
5. Prisons and other similar correctional facilities.
6. Adult bookstores, adult indoor and outdoor motion picture theaters, and cabarets. Recognizing that
because of their nature some uses have objectionable operational characteristics, especially when
concentrated in small areas and recognizing that such uses may have a harmful effect on adjacent
areas, special regulation of these uses is necessary to insure that these adverse effects will not
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 3/15/01 3
contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhood. These special
regulations are as follows: ...
7. Uses similar to the above Special Land Uses Permitted.
SECTION 1402: PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS [amended 10/981
SECTION 1403: AREA AND BULK REQUIREMENTS (amended 4/001
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 which 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 sunounding 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.

PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
March 15, 2001
Hearing; Case 2001-7: Request to rezone property located at 1818 E. Sherman Blvd.
from 1-2, General Industrial to B-4, General Business, by Richard and Marilyn
Witham.
BACKGROUND
Applicant: Richard and Marilyn Witham
Address/Location of Subject Property: 1818 E. Sherman Blvd.
Cun-ent Use: Industrial
Cun-ent Zoning: I-2, General Industrial
Proposed Zoning: B-4, General Business
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1. The subject property is located on Sherman Blvd., just east of the Target commercial
development. The parcel is part of the cetiified Port City Industrial Park and is currently
zoned 1-2, General Industrial.
2. Across the street from the subject propetiy is a large retail development, which lies
partially within the City of Muskegon, but mostly within Frnitpmi Township. This
development contains Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, ABC Warehouse, as well as many other
retail stores and several restaurants.
3. The subject property lies between several existing commercial uses - the Target retail
development to the west, and a State Farm claims office as well as the Muskegon County
School Employees Credit Union to the east.
4. The subject property cun-ently contains two existing industrial uses, Motion Dynamics
Corp. and Automated Industrial Motion. The existing businesses are planning to move in
the near future, and the applicant current has an offer for the subject propetiy, for a retail
use.
5. The Future Land Use Map shows the subject property to be "Commercial".
6. The Master Land Use Plan states:
• It is the goal of the Master Plan to retain the industrial orientation of Sub-Area 1.
Accordingly, the rezoning of land for additional non-industrial use shall be
discouraged, provided however, parcels located along Sherman Boulevard and
Laketon Avenue may be used for non-industrial purposes which are ancillary to the
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 3/15/01
area's industrial focus. Such uses include, but are not limited to, financial institutions,
health/fitness clubs, office supply stores, computer sales and servicing, employment
centers, and other uses with the potential to serve local industrial needs.
• At the extreme southwest corner of the sub-area, near the Sherman Boulevard and
US-31 intersection, one finds a new regional retail strip center anchored by a Target
department/variety store. Other uses include retail outlets specializing in electronics,
computers, and pet supplies and a family style restaurant... Along Sherman, east of
the retail center, lie a combination of industrial and service facilities. Service uses
include a financial institution and tennis/fitness club.
7. Snb-Area Issues:
There is likely to be continued demand to conve1i industrial properties along
Sherman Boulevard to non-industrial (retail or service sector) use.
As the level ofretail traffic grows, conflicts with industrial park traffic are likely
to increase.
8. The Master Plan recommends for this sub-area:
• Maintain the sub-area's industrial focus.
• Along Sherman Boulevard and Laketon Avenue maintain the current industrial
zoning status to restrict conversion of industrial property to uses considered
inconsistent with the area's land use focus.
9. The Master Plan recommendations listed above conflict with the Future Land Use map,
which shows several parcels of land along Sherman Blvd., including the subject property,
as commercial.
I 0. Although the subject property is located in a Certified Business Park, the legislation
regarding these parks has recently changed. Formerly called "Ce1iified Industrial Parks",
it used to not be possible to change from industrial zoning for any parcels in an existing
ce1iified park without losing the industrial park certification. However this has changed,
and it is now possible to rezone parcels within a certified park to cmmnercial zoning
without losing the park's ce1iification.
11. By changing the zoning of any parcels located within the Certified Business Park, it
would no longer be possible for the existing LDFA to capture any tax increments for
those particular prope1iies. However, the LDF A in the Port City Industrial Park is not
currently capturing any tax increments, and it is not likely that it will in the near future.
12. The existing commercial and retail uses within the park are currently zoned I-2. The
Target development and the Muskegon County School Employees Credit Union are both
under Planned Unit Developments (PUDs). The State Farm claims office is a
nonconforming use. It is not anticipated that these prope1iies will revert back to
industrial uses at any time in the near future, and therefore staff will be exploring the
possibility of rezoning these properties to commercial.
13. There is cunently a shortage of available industrially-zoned property within City
boundaries. There is not, however, a similar shortage of available commercially-zoned
property. Therefore, staff has looked very carefnlly at the corridor to determine the
City of Muskegon Planning Commission - 3/15/0 I 2
extent of any potential commercial zoning to support. The existing commercial
development along Sherman is located mainly along the western portion of the corridor,
with several existing, viable industrial properties located along the eastern potiion.
14. Staff feels that any rezoning to commercial should be restricted to the Sherman Blvd.
c01Tidor itself, and not further within the boundaries of the industrial park. Staff also
feels that only the properties currently being used for commercial purposes should be
rezoned, with the one exception of the subject property, which is located between two
existing commercial uses, and has a pending offer for a commercial use. Staff strongly
feels that the remaining properties along Sherman Blvd., east of the credit union, are
viable industrial properties and should remain industrial.
15. Staff has received one letter, from 1780 Associates Limited Partnership, the owners of the
Sherman Center (Target retail complex), in support of the rezoning for 1818 E. Sherman
Blvd.

SECTION 1303: AREA AND BULK REQUIREMENTS [amended 4/00]
DELIBERATION
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 which 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.
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.

Re: Regional Digital Aerial Photography CITY MANAQIR'I
OFFICI
Mr. Bryon Mazade:
The United States Anny Corp of Engineers plans to conduct a hydraulic study of Lake Michigan
and has prioritized Muskegon County. We are proud to announce that the Corp has agreed to
mutually participate in a digital aerial photography project for all of Muskegon County, as well as
other geographical information projects. After completion and payment of the initial
photography, the Corp will participate in rectifying the photography using aerial triangulation for
control. We had hoped to provide you more advanced notice, but it has taken six months to
obtain general information and cost estimates.
As you are aware, the current aerial photography is six years old. All communities have
experienced significant growth and change during this time. In addition to being an optimum
base layer to superimpose a geographical information system (GIS), the new aerials will provide
an excellent resource for master plans, natural feature inventory, development density and type,
zoning and land use analysis, etc. I have attached a sample of the GIS pilot project for the City
of Roosevelt Park and a summary of the general specifications.
For the past year, we have identified agencies and other users that have a need for the
photography and those who would possibly participate in the costs. Since your organization was
identified, we are requesting your commitment to financially participate in this cooperative
effort. The costs represent the upper limit of the expected expenses and are based on 100%
participation. If all participate, it is very likely that the costs will be less than presented.
At this point, the overall project will tentatively consist of two phases. The first phase will
involve panchromatic aerial photography. The flight is scheduled for early spring of2001 and
product expected by late fall 200 I. You will receive a complete set of diapositive plints or gray
scale prints that can be enlarged and duplicated.

Figure 1 is a reduced sample of a digital aerial photograph that was part of the 1999 Ottawa
County project. The image is distorted because of the density of the printer and the compressed
size. The original images are very sharp and clear.

Digital Aerial Photography Example
The second phase will involve digital orthorectification of the photography using aerial
triangulation for control. This phase will commence during the spring of2002 and completion is
expected by the fall of that year. At the completion this phase, you will receive the orthoscopic
image files on a compact disk, as well as set of gray scale prints. We will inform you of the cost
and specifications of this phase next year. It will be at your discretion to participate in this phase.

Regional Digital Aerial Photography
In general, the first phase of the project will entail photography at the scale of I inch= I 00 feet
for urban and suburban areas, and photography at the scale of I inch= 200 feet for rural areas.
The resolution is expected to be .5-foot pixels and I-foot pixels respectively. Table 'A' is a
listing of the photography scaling by unit of government and estimated cost. One-third of the
cost consists of the fixed flight expense and is proportioned equally among the participants. The
remaining two-thirds of the cost is proportioned by density (i.e. number of parcels) and scale of
the photography.

Each local unit will be billed for the cost of each phase after it is complete. The local unit will be
allotted one year to remit payment. Additionally, the product will be marketed to other
organizations such as utility companies, state agencies, trade and professional associations to
help minimize cost.
We are available to attend local governmental meetings to further explain the scope of the project
and answer any questions.
Please take a moment and acknowledge your intentions in participating and return it to me by
March 20, 2001. We intend to request consideration for this project from the Muskegon County
Board of Commissioners in March of 200 I. You can contact Thomas Van Bruggen, Geographic

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
NELSON, WATSON & RODGERS
The proposed improvement, new streets, on Nelson, Rodgers & Watson, see attached location
map, was initiated by the City and supported by a petition due to the conditions of the road
which is gravel at this time. The proposed improvement consists of constructing a standard 27'
back to back street with rolled curbs.
A memo from the Assessor's office, which addresses the appraisal and benefit information is
attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is approximately $210,000
with the length of the project being approximately 1,450 lineal feet or 1,806.11 of assessable
front footage. This translates into an estimated improvement cost of $116.27 per assessable foot.
The assessment figure will be at a cost not to exceed $36.35 per assessable foot as established in
the 2001 Special Assessment for this of improvement.

Mr. Al-Shatel:
In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment district
entailing the new construction of Rogers Avenue, Watson Avenue and the northerly portion
ofNelson Street from Watson Avenue north to the end. The purpose of this analysis is to
document the reasonableness of this special assessment district by identifying and quantifying
any accrued benefits. It is subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat,
taxation, police power and eminent domain. The effective date is March 14, 2001.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and reasonably
represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this 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 to an improved quality of life created
by the proposed project. As previously presented, the proposed special assessment district
encompasses primarily residential properties. The front foot rate of $36.35 for the paving of
the above mentioned project area appears reasonable in light of analysis that indicates a
possible enhancement of$41.12. The conclusions are based upon the data presented within
this limited analysis in restricted format, and on supporting information in my files.
Sincerely,
b~~

Re: Paving of Nelson, Rodgers and Watson/ Vacation of portion of Watson Street, Sand
Alley and Unnamed Alley.
Dear Mr. Shatel:
First and foremost, we the residents of this part of the Beachwood/Blufton Neighborhood
would like to thank you and the City of Muskegon for proposing the paving of our dirt
streets. Many of the residents who are in support of this improvement are longtime
residents of this area and have put up with the blowing sand and dirt for these many
years. We have also endured the grading and plowing of dirt and gravel upon our lawns
and flower gardens, while at the same time appreciating the efforts of city crews to
properly maintain our streets. We are immensely pleased that the promise and Policy of
the City to pave all unpaved streets in the City of Muskegon is now being implemented
on our streets. We believe these improvements, although overdue, will add value to our
property and improve the appearance of the neighborhood.
We also appreciate the willingness of your office to share the details of the design
proposed for these improvements with us. As you know, the Nelson-Rodgers-Watson
area is a self-contained "slice" of the larger Beachwood/Blufton Neighborhood with
certain unique qualities. In this regard, after thoroughly reviewing the proposed design,
we would offer the following comments and requests:
1. Street Width- The design proposes the standard 27' width residential street
design, including 23' of pavement and 4' of curbing. We would recommend that
you consider a 21' cross-section with 18' of pavement and 3 feet of curb. The
reasons for this request are:
a. The streets only serve the adjacent homes in the neighborhood. There are
no through-streets, as you know.
b. These rights-of-way are narrower (49.5') with the homes in many cases set
closer to the street.
c. The narrower cross section yields more lawn and planting area for trees
and shrubs.
d. The current width of our unpaved streets ranges from 15' to 18', which
seems to "fit" our needs and the scale of our neighborhood.
e. The current alignment is off-center and requires adjustment, which with
the wider cross-section will significantly reduce front-yards of several
homes.
f The "rolled-curb" design, which we support, permits temporary parking of
guests off the road surface and thus reduces the need for "on-street"
parking.
g. The 21' cross-section provides for more driveway len!,•th for temporary
parking of cars, and reduces the disruption on existing drives for certain
homes.
h. The narrower cross section will be less costly to the City and perhaps the
residents in terms of assessments. It will also be less costly to maintain
and ultimately repair and replace.
2. Assessments - We are requesting that you review the proposed assessment rate at
$36.35/assessable foot. The request is based upon the following :
a. The narrower street cross-section of 21'.
b. The fact that we currently have 15' -18' of dirt streets without curb and
gutter and therefore costs of removal of same should not be included when
figuring assessment rates for these streets.
3. Rolled Curb and Gutter - We endorse the design with this type of curb and gutter.
4. Storm Sewer and Ponding of Run-off- We support the design which eliminates
ponding of stonn water which currently happens especially at intersections
including Nelson at Sand Alley, Rodgers at Beach Street and Watson at Beach
Street.
5. Tum-around at North End of Nelson- We support the tum-around designed for
this location.
6. Vacating of Sand Alley from Nelson to Beach, Unnamed Alley from Sand Alley
to Rodgers and Watson Ave. from Nelson East - As you are aware, we are
petitioning for the vacation of the above sections of Alleys/Streets. This request
is for the following reasons:
a. Sand Alley - Sand Alley is a narrow dirt one-block alley which will serve
no useful purpose after paving. To keep the alley will result in additional
expense to the City, both in construction and maintenance. Sand Alley
enters Beach at a blind spot adjacent to a curve in Beach Street. Vacation
will result in more parkland and green-space being maintained by
neighborhood residents. Vacation of the alley is consistent with City
Policy. Blowing dust and dirt will be eliminated.
b. Unnamed Alley - This alley has never been improved or used for this
purpose. Although it appears upon property deeds, it does not in reality
exist. Vacation is consistent with City Policy.
c. Watson East of Nelson- This section of Watson has never been improved
as a street nor need it be, as it dead-ends and serves no useful purpose to
the city, neighborhood or abutting properties. It will reduce cost to the
city and increase value to neighbors. lt is consistent with City Policy.
d. Timing of Vacations - We are requesting that the vacation of these
sections of Alleys/Street be effective after spreading of the assessment
rolls for improving the above streets. We are petitioning for the vacation
now to accommodate the desjgn of the street improvements in such a way
as to reduce costs to the City and residents of the neighborhood.
Lastly, a number ofresidents who will be assessed for street improvements are
elderly on fixed incomes and others may quality for CDBG assessment assistance.
We will be working with those who qualify and wish to apply. Again, Thank you
for your assistance and consideration of our concerns. We believe that these
recommendations will improve an already worthwhile project for the City and the
neighborhood residents, still consistent with city policy.
Sincerely,

Mayor Nielsen and City Commissioners
City of Muskegon
933 Terrace Street
Muskegon, Ml 49443
RE: Street Improvements- Nelson, Watson and Rodgers: Alley/Street Vacating
Dear Mayor Nielsen and City Commissioners,
I believe that the attached, coupled with additional forthcoming support endorses the City's
Policy to pave unpaved streets in the City of Muskegon and improve neighborhoods. At the same
time, our neighbors and we are requesting that "the standards" for paving residential streets take
into account the character and physical constraints of a neighborhood when applying these
"standards". We believe the requested adjustments wiJI improve the Policy and application
thereof to all neighborhoods.
As a member of the City Administration when this Policy and the "standards" were adopted, I can
recall that we tried to make the policy unifmm but adaptable to conditions and characteristics of
all parts of the city. We are requesting that you recognize the uniqueness of our particular
neighborhood and adapt the standards to fit our conditions. As au older "cottage" area of the city,
which was developed when 49.5 feet of right-of-way was the norm, houses were placed close to
the street. Although now year-round residences, this character remains. In some ways it has
added to the neighborliness of th.is area
As a certain unnamed resident stated when we were reviewing the proposed 27' wide street
design, "Why you can't get there from here, so why do we need such wide streets that go
nowhere?". We invite you to visit and take a look for yourself and we believe you will agree, that
these streets serve only the neighbors, and au occasional lost vehicle. I even have to direct the
pizza delivery person every time I order even though they have been here many times. "Just can't
get there from here."
On a more serious note, our neighbors and we are concerned with our lawns, gardens, trees and
shrubs and want to have as much "greenery" as possible after the improvements are made. We
also finnly believe that City Tax Dollars and residents assessments can go farther with less costly
improvements for initial constmction, ongoing maintenance and ultimate replacement.
Thank you for this opportunity to assist you to improve au already good Policy and "Standard".

Re: Paving of Nelson, Rodgers and Watson/ Vacation of portion of Watson Street, Sand
Alley and Unnamed Alley.
Dear Mr. Shatel:
First and foremost, we the residents of this part of the Beachwood/Blufton Neighborhood
would like to thank you and the City of Muskegon for proposing the paving of our dirt
streets. Many of the residents who are in support of this improvement are longtime
residents of this area and have put up with the blowing sand and dirt for these many
years. We have also endured the grading and plowing of dirt and gravel upon our lawns
and flower gardens, while at the same time appreciating the efforts of city crews to
properly maintain our streets. We are immensely pleased that the promise and Policy of
the City to pave all unpaved streets in the City of Muskegon is now being implemented
on our streets. We believe these improvements, although overdue, will add value to our
property and improve the appearance of the neighborhood.

Re: Request for Vacating of Sand Alley between Nelson and Beach, Unnamed Alley between
Sand Alley and Rodgers and Watson East of Nelson.
Dear Mrs. Brubaker-Clark,
We are requesting the vacating of the above sections of Street/Alleys, which we believe to be
consistent with the City Policy of eliminating unnecessary and unused streets/alleys. We are
requesting these vacatings now to accommodate the design of proposed street improvements and
reduce costs to the City and residents of the neighborhood. We request that the vacatings become
effective after spreading of the assessments for the street improvements. We believe there is
ample justification for vacating these segments as follows:
a. Sand Alley - Sand Alley is a narrow dirt one-block alley that serves no useful purpose
and will not be included in proposed street improvements. To keep the alley will result in
additional unnecessary expense to the City in construction, maintenance, repair and
replacement. Sand Alley enters Beach at a blind spot adjacent to a curve in Beach Street
resulting in a traffic safety hazard. Sand Alley is narrow and vehicles entering and
leaving, especially trucks are forced into opposing lanes on Beach to make tnms.
Vacating will result in more parkland and green-space which will be maintained by
neighborhood residents. Blowing dust and grading of gravel onto lawns will be
eliminated. Vacating this section will increase the value of abutting properties. Vacating
we believe is consistent with City Policy.
b. Unnamed Alley - This section of "paper-alley'' has never been improved or used for alley
purposes nor should it be. Although it appears upon property deeds, neighborhood
residents use it as part of back yards. No utilities are contained in this section. Vacating
this section will increase the value of abutting properties. Vacating we believe is
consistent with City Policy.
c. Watson East of Nelson - This section of Watson has never been improved as a street, nor
need it be, as it dead-ends and serves no useful purpose to the City, neighborhood or
abutting properties. Vacating will reduce costs to the City and increase the value of
abutting properties. Vacating we believe is consistent with City Policy.
We appreciate your consideration of this request. If you have any questions regarding this
request please contact me at 206-3296.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Constriction cost plus related engineering cost..
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To create the special assessment and assign two City Commissioners to the Board of
Assessors by adopting the attached resolution
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
MILLARD FROM LAKE DUNES DR. TO WEST END
The proposed improvement, RECONSTRUCTION, of Millard from Lake Dunes dr. to the West
End, see attached location map, was initiated by the City due to the conditions of the road. The
existing pavement has deteriorated to a point where any other type improvements would not be
feasible. The proposed improvement consists of the removal of existing pavement and the
construction of a curb and gutter road. The proposed cross sections being proposed are a 24'
back to back where the R-O-W is 40' wide and 27' back to back in the area where the R-O-W is
66'.
A memo from the Assessor's office, which addresses the appraisal and benefit information is
attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is approximately $160,000
with the length of the project being approximately l,l l l lineal feet or 2,107.06 of assessable
front footage. This translates into an estimated improvement cost of$75.93 per assessable foot.
The assessment figure will be at a cost not to exceed $32.31 per assessable foot where the road is
24' B-B and $36.35 for that section where the road width is 27' B-B as established in the 2001
Special Assessment for this of improvement.

Mohammed Al-Shatel, City Engineer
City of Muskegon
933 Terrace Street
Muskegon, MI 49443
Mr. Al-Shatel:
In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special assessment district
entailing the paving of approximately 1,158 linear feet of Millard Avenue from the centerline
of Lake Dunes Drive to the west boundary line of3373 Millard Avenue. The westerly 545
linear feet of paving and curbing being 24 feet in width due to the road right of way being 40
feet in width, and the remaining 613 linear feet of asphalt paving and curbing being 27 feet in
width due to the road right of way being 66 feet in width. The purpose of this analysis is to
document the reasonableness of this special assessment district by identifying and quantifying
any accrued benefits. It is subject to the normal governmental restrictions of escheat,
taxation, police power and eminent domain. The effective date is January 29, 2001.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and reasonably
represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this 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 to an improved quality of life created
by the proposed project. As previously presented, the proposed special assessment district
encompasses primarily residential properties. The front foot rate of$36.35 for the paving of
the 613 linear feet of paving with the 27 feet width of asphalt appears reasonable in light of
analysis that indicates a possible enhancement of$39.10. Additionally, the front foot rate of
$32.31 for the remaining 545 linear feet of the 24 feet width asphalt appears reasonable in
light of analysis that indicates a possible enhancement of$35.27. The conclusions are based
upon the data presented within this limited analysis in restricted format, and on supporting
information in my files.

shall object to the assessment in writing at or before the hearing, the improvement shall
not be made unless the City Commission determines by affirmative vote of all its
members that the safety or health of the public necessitates the improvement.
Estimated Costs
The total estimated cost of the street portion of the project is $160,000 of which
approximately 44.85% ($71,761.49) will be paid by special assessment to property
owners. Your property's estimated share of the special assessment is shown on the
attached hearing response card. The remaining costs will be paid by the City.
The street assessment, which covers improvements to the roadway, may be paid in
installments over a period of up to ten (10) years. Any work on drive approaches or
sidewalks will be assessed to the property at actual contract prices and these costs may
also be paid in installments over ten (10) years. Please note this work is in addition to
the street special assessment.
Please refer to the enclosed sheet entitled Special Assessment Payment Options for
more information on the payment options and financial assistance programs available.
I urge you to return the enclosed hearing response card indicating your preference and
to attend the scheduled public hearing. Your views are important to the City and to your
neighbors. Additional information, including preliminary project plans and cost
estimates is available in the Engineering Department located on the second floor of City
Hall. Regular business hours are from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday

Special Assessment Payment Options
Property owners in the City of Muskegon who are being specially assessed for street, sidewalk or other public
improvements may pay their assessment in the following ways:
I. Lump Sum Payment in Full
Assessments may be paid in full within sixty (60) days of the confirmation of the special assessment roll
without interest.
II. Installment Payments
Assessments not paid within the first sixty (60) days may be paid in installments over several years as follows:
Street and Alley Assessments - Ten (10) years equal annual principal payments. For example, if the
amount of your assessment is $850.00, you will be billed $85.00 per year plus applicable interest as
described below.
Driveway, Sidewalk, and Approach Assessments - Ten (10) years equal annual principal payments
plus applicable interest as described below.
Interest- Simple interest is charged at the rate of 5.00% per year unless the City has borrowed money
to complete the project for which you are assessed and has pledged you assessments for repayment of
the borrowed money. In such cases, the interest you are charged is equal to the interest rate the City
must pay on the borrowed money plus 1.00%.
Ill. Special Assessment Deferral (Low Income Seniors and Disabled Persons)
To qualify for a special assessment deferral you or your spouse (if jointly owned) must:
• Be 65 years or older or be totally or permanently disabled.

property in favor of the State of Michigan. Repayment to the State must be made at the time the property is
sold or transferred or after the death of the owner(s). During the time the special assessment is deferred
interest is accrued at the rate of 6. 00% per year.

Dear Members of the Muskegon City Commission:
I would like to take this opportunity to voice my concerns related to the
"construction improvements" planned for Millard Street in 2001. I do not question
the need to resurface Millard. I do question the rationale behind the excessive
width, curbing and cost of the project.
• The proposed width of 27 feet from curb to curb is excessive for the middle
and upper portions of Millard. The street is a dead-end street with fewer than
20 homes using Millard as access. The homes that are on the middle and
upper end of the street were, for the most part, in existence before the
current ordinance was written. The 27 foot roadway would put the pavement
and curbing dangerously close to many of the homes along the proposed
"improvement".
• The cost of creating this proposed project, $33.40 per foot, is much more
than many of the residents could comfortably pay.
• Placing the street and curbing within a few feet of many of the existing homes
would forever reduce the value of the homes and properties affected and in
the case of some homes, create a safety hazard.
I am asking you to reconsider the scope of the proposed project and
simply resurface the existing roadway. This would preserve the
integrity of the neighborhood, allow us to be socially acceptable to the residents
of Lake Dunes Estates and improve the drive to the end of the street.

Dear Members of the Muskegon City Commission:
I would like to take this opportunity to voice my concerns related to the
"construction improvements" planned for Millard Street in 2001 . I do not question
the need to resurface Millard. I do question the rationale behind the excessive
width, curbing and cost of the project.
• The proposed width of 27 feet from curb to curb is excessive for the middle
and upper portions of Millard. The street is a dead-end street with fewer than
20 homes using Millard as access. The homes that are on the middle and
upper end of the street were, for the most part, in existence before the
current ordinance was written. The 27 foot roadway would put the pavement
and curbing dangerously close to many of the homes along the proposed
"improvement".
• The cost of creating this proposed project, $33. 40 per foot, is much more
than many of the residents could comfortably pay.
• Placing the street and curbing within a few feet of many of the existing homes
would forever reduce the value of the homes and properties affected and in
the case of some homes, create a safety hazard.
I am asking you to reconsider the scope of the proposed project and
simply resurface the existing roadway. This would preserve the
integrity of the neighborhood, allow us to be socially acceptable to the residents
of Lake Dunes Estates and improve the drive to the end of the street.
Sincerely,
~t'~

ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY STUDY
For
HOUSTON A VE. FROM FIRST TO SANFORD
The proposed improvement, milling & resurfacing, of Houston between First & Sanford, see

improvement consists of removal of 3" of the existing asphalt and the placement new leveling &
top courses of asphalt in addition to the replacement of the entire curb & gutter.
A memo from the Assessor's office, which addresses the appraisal and benefit information is
attached.
The preliminary cost estimate for the work associated with paving is approximately $100,397
with the length of the project being approximately 658 lineal feet or 765 of assessable front
footage. This translates into an estimated improvement cost of $131.24 per assessable foot. The
assessment figure will be at a cost not to exceed $17. 70 per front foot as established in the 200 I

Mr. Al-Shatel:
In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed special
assessment district entailing the milling and resurfacing of Houston Avenue
between First Street and Sanford 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 subject to the nonnal governmental
restrictions of escheat, taxation, police power and eminent domain. The effective
date is March 14, 2001.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that the special assessment amounts justly and
reasonably represents the accrued benefits to the properties encompassed by this
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 to an improved quality of life created by the proposed
project. As previously presented, the proposed special assessment district
encompasses a mixture of properties, but the front foot rate of $17. 70 appears
reasonable in light of analysis that indicates a possible enhancement of $18.25.
The conclusions are based upon the data presented within this limited analysis in
restricted fonnat, and on supporting information in my files.
Sincerely, ~, !? I}

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Planning & Economic Development
Date: March 20, 2001
Re: Core Communities Initiative Funding - Seawall & Boardwalk on Teledyne
Former Property
The Core Communities Initiative (CCI) was established by the Michigan State
Legislature in 2000, to provide gap-financing assistance in the form of loans, grants,
sales, or cash flow participation agreements, guarantees, or any combination thereof,
to urban core communities. Eligible activities include the financing of land, property
acquisition, and assembly; demolition, site development, utility modifications and
improvements, street and road improvements, telecommunications infrastructure, site
location/relocation, and infrastructure improvements.
The City of Muskegon CCI request is for $1 million to assist in the development of a
seawall and public boardwalk along Muskegon Lake on the former Teledyne property.
The benefit of this project will be to provide public access to the waterfront in the form
of a boardwalk and public transient boat slips. Further, the seawall serves a public
purpose by containing the site and groundwater contamination from flowing into
Muskegon Lake. The total project cost is in excess of $2 million. The remaining cost
of the project will be funded by private developers on the former Teledyne site. If
funded, construction is estimated to begin in Spring of 2002 and be completed in Fall of
the same year.
The CCI funds may be issued in the form of a grant, loan or combination of both. The
Michigan Economic Development Corporation will indicate the terms of the funds at the
time of issuance. If the all or a portion of the funds are to be repaid, the City may
choose to utilize the Local Development Finance Authority to be created if SmartZone
designation is granted to the City. A second option is to utilize DOA funds upon the full
repayment of outstanding bond debt. The second option would assume no repayment
for 18 years, which is the existing period of ODA bond repayment. Staff suggests
initially pursing the funds as a grant and negotiating terms if a loan is approved.

Re: DNR Emergency Electrical Grant Application
I am requesting authorization to submit a grant
application to the DNR Waterways Grant-In-Aid program
and to adopt the attached resolution. I am requesting
that we apply to replace the electrical services at
Hartshorn Municipal Marina. The application deadline is
April 1, 2001.
Based on the engineering study that was approved for the
marina last year, the engineering firm is recommending
that power and electric services in the large boat basin
are in poor condition, and should be replaced and
upgraded as required. The estimated cost is $200,000,
which would require a $100,000 local match. The results
of the engineering study are available in the Leisure
Services office if you would like to view them.
At their February meeting, the Leisure Services Board
recommended that the grant be submitted.
Thank you for your consideration.

I am requesting authorization to submit a grant

repair and improve Hartshorn Municipal Marina. The
application deadline is April 1, 2001.
Hartshorn Marina was built over forty years ago, and is

replace the existing marina office building. This
information is based on the engineering study that was
completed this past year by The Abonmarche Group.
Results of the study are available in the Leisure

which would require a fifty percent local match.
At their February meeting, the Leisure Services Board
recommended that the grant be submitted.

community based organizations approved in the 2001 CDBG budget until
funding reaches $5000.00 total for the year for each group. If additional
dollars are still available in this fund, to provide up to $5000.00 to
Legal Aid to provide legal services for renters, per Legal Aid's proposal.
