Dear Mayor Nielsen and members of the City Commission,
I am writing this letter in support of the proposed language for creation of port development
district in the City. I understand the City Commission will consider this language at its March 28
meeting.
While I understand Tuesday's vote is limited to the necessary language, I wanted to let you and
the Commission know the B.C. Cobb Plant also supports the City's efforts to create a Port
District zoning classification at the east end of Muskegon Lake. We believe in this area of
Muskegon Lake, port-related uses mesh well given the existing land uses. Those activities
include the Cobb Plant operations, the existing operations ofVerplank Trucking and Verplank's
planned use of adjacent property it has recently purchased from our parent company, CMS
Energy.
Creating Port District zoning at this location also is in keeping with the City's long-term vision
for this end of the lake and yet another reason for the City Commission to approve language
creating a new zoning classification.
If you or other members of the City Commission have any questions, feel free to contact me at
727-6253.

CITY OF MUSKEGON
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
March 15,2000
Hearing; Case 2000-5: Request to rezone City-owned property located at the corner of
Park St. and Laketon Ave. from 1-2, General Industrial to B-4, General Business.
BACKGROUND
Applicant: City of Muskegon
Address/Location of Subject Property: Northeast corner of Laketon Ave. and Park St.
Use: Vacant
Current Zoning: 1-2, General Indush·ial
Proposed Zoning: B-4, General Business
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
I. This triangle-shaped lot was part of the purchase of property by the City from Railtex for
the bike trail. Although this lot is not needed for the trail, it was part of the deal when the
trail property was purchased. The subject lot is located directly adjacent to the Muskegon
Rescue Mission Men's Shelter on Laketon Ave. and Seventh St.
2. The City Commission has approved a lease agreement to lease the subject lot to the
Rescue Mission. The Rescue Mission wishes to use the lot for additional parking when
they move their retail store (now located at Remy/Sherman) to their Laketon Ave.
location. Since the City's purchase of the lot was pmi of the golf course conversion for
trail property, the City is prohibited from selling it.
3. The Future Land Use Map shows the subject prope1iy as industrial as pmi of a larger m·ea
of industrial lands to the N 01ih.
4. The City has initiated the rezoning of this property since staff feels that an industrial
zoning is no longer appropriate for the site. The lot is not large enough to locate an
industry on, but is large enough to provide parking for the adjacent business use.
5. The Master Land Use Plan states:
• The southerly portion of the (sub)area is devoted to industrial development ... The
industrial area possesses several former industrial sites.
• Laketon Avenue suffers as a result o_fseveral business and properly owners who fail
lo maintain the appearance of their buildings and/orjrontage sites
• The area's major streets lack a cohesive streetscape program.
6. The Master Plan recommends for this sub-area:
• Complete the proposed bicycle pathway along Laketon Avenue.
• Implement comprehensive streetscape programs along the sub-area's major
roadways.
• Work with Laketon Avenue businesses to encourage site enhancements and, where
necessary, buildingfar;ade improvements.
• Focus "brownfield" redevelopment efforts on the former industrial land.
7. The addition and improvements to the proposed parking area will be subject to staff site
plan review, where some of the design issues brought up in the Master Plan can be
addressed.

Staff Report [EXCERPT]
CITY OF MUSKEGON
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
March 15, 2000
Hearing; Case 2000-9: Reqnest to rezone property located on Holbrook Ave. (between
Sixth and Commerce Streets) from 1-2, General lndnstrial to B-2, Convenience and
Comparison Business, by the Muskegon Housing Commission.
BACKGROUND
Applicant: Muskegon Housing Commission (McKinley Copeland)
Address/Location of Subject Property: Holbrook Ave., between Sixth & Commerce Streets
Use: Vacant
Current Zoning: I-2, General Indush·ial
Proposed Zoning: B-2, Convenience and Comparison Business
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
I. This case was before the Planning Commission for a B-4 designation and was denied
with the staff suggestion it come through again with a B-2 rezoning request.
2. The current Muskegon Housing Commission property, to the north of the subject
property, was rezoned to B-4 in 1995. The Housing Commission believed that all of the
property associated with their purchase of the Muskegon Piston Ring property was
included in the rezoning, but staff research showed that only the block nmih of Alpha
Ave. was included. Therefore, the subject property remains zoned as I-2.
3. The Muskegon Housing Commission wishes to construct a 4-stall garage on the property,
which is not allowed under the current I-2 zoning, since it would be an accessory use to a
business use and should be similarly zoned.
4. A downzoning of the property seems appropriate. The B-2 zoning district would also
allow the intended use, but allows less intensive uses in general than the B-4 district
would allow.
5. The Future Land Use Map shows the subject property, as well as the current Muskegon
Housing Commission property, as residential. This downzoning gets the prope1iy closer
to what the plan suggests we should move toward.
6. The Master Land Use Plan states:
• The southerly portion of the (sub)area is devoted to industrial development ... The
industrial area possesses several former industrial sites.
• Buffers between residential and industrial development are virtually non-existent.
• The small enclave o_fhousing within the vicinity ofEast Hackley Avenue and Park
Street is isolated by industrial and commercial development. The suitability, and
long term survival, ofresidential development in this location is questionable.
7. The Master Plan recommends for this sub-area:
• Redevelop that portion of the sub-area located south and east o_f the industrial sector
from residential to industrial.
• Implement, through zoning, buffer requirements to mitigate compatibility impacts
between residential and non-residential uses.
• Focus "brownfield" redevelopment efforts on the former industrial land

$274,350 from Gale Roofing Co. The complete bid tabulation is attached. Our architect,
Hooker/Delong, has reviewed the bid submittals and recommends that we accept the bid from
Gale Roofing Co.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The current budget allocation for roofrepair is $319,000.

Subject: Public Service Building Repairs
I have enclosed an agenda item for the repair of the Public Service Building. As you recall we
have developed a capital improvement plan with the assistance of Hooker/DeJong Architects for
renovation of the Public Service Building this year. The roof repair is a major part of this project.
Brief History of the Public Service Building (PSB)
The PSB was built in 1970 and has about 100,000 square feet of vehicle parking, shops and
offices. It is a standard steel building that still uses a 1970-era radiant heating system for the
parking garage. Over the years the steel roof deck has rusted in the area where plow trucks are
parked. In 1984-6 the building was re-roofed and at that time small patches were made on the
roof deck where co1Toded deck areas collapsed.
In 1995 we commissioned Hooker/DeJong Architects to evaluate the PSB for repairs and capital
improvements that would extend the life span and increase the efficient use of the building. Their
report listed a number ofrenovations that should be made. Among these was repair of the roof
deck. In 1997 we bid out this project but found that we did not have sufficient funding at the time
to commission the project. However, we were able to carry out two other projects, re-painting the
exterior of the building (1998) and re-paving the parking lot (1997). This year we also plan to
modernize office areas in the building to increase efficiency and to install energy-efficient
heating in the parking garage.

From: Finance Director
RE: Reimbursement Resolution for Sidewalks and PSB Improvements
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Later this year it is expected the City will sell bonds to
finance sidewalks and improvements at the Public Service Building. Contracts for the work
will be let prior to the issuance of bonds so it is necessary to adopt the attached
"reimbursement resolution". This will allow the City to reimburse itself from bond proceeds for
project costs incurred prior to the time bonds are sold.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Adoption will permit the City to move ahead with the planned
projects and reimburse itself from proceeds from bonds issued at a later date.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the attached resolution.

Dear Gail,
I am enclosing a proposed consent judgment to end the appeal by Atlantic Mortgage Co. of the
Commission's order to tear down this building. Bob Grabinski has reviewed, and we believe this
to be a proper disposition of this case. It gives them time to file a demolition check, take out
permits, and complete the rehab, and if they do not, gives us the power to tear down without any
further court involvement.

2000 ALLOCATION OF FUNDS $513,000
HOME Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) $100,000
As a participating jurisdiction, the City of Muskegon is required to provide opportunities for
Community Housing Development Organizations to utilize HOME funds to produce affordable
housing within the city of Muskegon. Funding will include the provision of technical assistance to
assist in building the capacity of CHDOs to produce affordable housing and for administrative support
of the organizations within the regulatory guidelines. Eligible activities include the acquisition of
vacant land or existing structures, the construction or rehabilitation of these properties for occupancy
by low to moderate income individuals.
Distribution of Funds
The City of Muskegon will publish a Request for Proposals based on the priorities set in the City of
Muskegon's FY2000 Consolidated Housing & Community Development Action Plan V. Priority will
be given to organizations which plan to undertake activities that will promote neighborhood
revitalization through new residential development, homeownership and increased leveraging of
private sector funds in core city neighborhoods. Eligible projects may include new construction or
rehabilitation of single family units or multi-family units for homeownership or rental. Proposals for
continuance ofhomebuyer education and downpayment assistance programs will also be considered
as a high priority.
Distribution of Administrative Suppmt
The CHDO administrative support will be awarded on a competitive basis with the funds being
awarded to one organization whose proposal best meets the priorities. A portion of the CHDO
administrative support will go towards capacity-building to enable CHDOs to improve their ability
to develop affordable housing and provide housing-related services.
HOME Infill Housing
The City of Muskegon will utilize HOME funds to construct single family and/or multi-family housing
units within the regulatory cost limits, preferably in areas not currently accessible to low to moderate
income families. The units will be marketed to low to moderate income families for occupancy as their
principal place of residence.
Downpayment assistance will be available to assist potential buyers to assist them in acquiring the
homes. The amount of downpayment assistance provided to the homeowner will be held as a deferred
second mortgage repayable upon transfer of the property before the end of the applicable affordability
period. The length of the affordability period will be determined by the amount of HOME funds used
as downpayment assistance to the homeowner. Mortgage financing must be within the HUD 203(b)
single-family mortgage limits prescribed for the area.
HOME Rental Rehabilitation
Eligible Properties
This program is proposed to provide assistance to rental property owners in the rehabilitation of
single or multi-family rental properties to bring them up to code. This program will be available for
properties with four or less rental units in the building. Priority will be given to single family rental
units in need of major system repairs. The maximum assistance available per project will be $30,000.
Program Requirements
Properties must be occupied by low to very-low income tenants, preferably those with incomes at or
below 60% of area median income. Properties receiving assistance must be primarily rental in use
(51 % of the rentable floor space used for residential rental purposes). After rehabilitation, the
properties must meet all applicable local codes and rehabilitation standards.
Program Marketing
The City of Muskegon will actively market this program with the local rental property owners
association, area lenders, other non-profit organizations, neighborhood associations and other housing
and community development related entities.
2000 HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM
ADDITIONAL PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS --HOMEBUYER PROGRAM
I. Homeownership Program
Qualifying Homebuyers
Households receiving assistance under the HOME Programs must meet the following criteria:
A. The client household must have an annual gross income, as determined by HUD income
guidelines, at or below 80% of the area median income, adjusted for family size. Income
determinations will be made at the time of application.
B. The homebuyer must agree to occupy the property purchased with HOME funds as its
principle residence throughout the applicable affordability period, subject to the recapture
provisions.
C. There is no requirement that the homebuyer continue to remain low income
throughout the HOME affordability period. Annual re-certification of income will not
be required; however, occupancy will be certified annually for the length of the
affordability period.
Qualifying Properties
Assistance under this programs is limited to housing units located or constructed within the City of
Muskegon. In addition, these properties must:
Remain the homebuyers principle residence throughout the HOME affordability
period as determined by the amount of the HOME investment.
Be rehabilitated to meet the applicable local building code and Cost-Effective Energy
Conservation Standards after rehabilitation as a condition of receiving HOME
assistance.
Have an appraised value, at purchase, that does not exceed the applicable HUD
203(b) single-family mortgage limits for the Muskegon area.
Have a sale price that does not exceed the HUD 203(b) singe-family mortgage limits.
Definition of HOME subsidy
The HOME homebuyer subsidy is defined as the difference between the fair market purchase price
and the affordable price paid by the buyer. This is the amount of HOME funds that reduced the
purchase price to an affordable level, but does not include the development subsidy, i.e. the difference
between the cost of producing the unit and the market value of the property. The amount of
development subsidy is not subject to HOME resale or recapture restrictions.
The amount subject to recapture and held as a deferred second mortgage is the amount of HOME
funds that reduced the purchase price to an affordable level. This amount triggers the affordability
term requirements. All sales proceeds will be returned to the HOME Investment Trust Fund to be
used for additional homebuyer assistance.
Recapture provisions
The City elects to adopt the recapture of the homebuyer subsidy. The homebuyer subsidy will be
forgiven by the City at a rate of 1/180 per month throughout the term of the affordability period.
Upon sale of the property by the homeowner within the affordability period, the homeowner will be
required to repay a prorated portion of the HOME funds used to subsidize the purchase of the home.
The property owners return on investment at the point of sale will include:
The amount of the homebuyer's downpayment made from their own resources
The amount of mortgage principle repaid at the time of resale
The appreciated value of the property (Appraised value at resale less the appraised value of
the property at the time of purchase by the homeowner).
The homeowner will receive the full amount of the fair return only if sufficient sale proceeds remain
after all outstanding debt (excluding repayable HOME subsidy amounts) and closing costs are paid.
Any proceeds remaining after payment of the outstanding debt, closing costs, fair return, and any
HOME subsidy repayment will be shared 50/50 between the homeowner and the City. Any funds
repaid to the City will be returned to the HOME trust fund. Repayment of the HOME subsidy amount
will not be required is the resale does not provide sufficient net proceeds to satisfy other outstanding
debt, pay closing costs, and offer a fair return on investment to the property owner. Partial repayment
may be required based on the amount of sales proceeds received by the homeowner.
II. Rental Rehabilitation Program
This program will provide funding for the rehabilitation of existing rental units located in the City of
Muskegon occupied by families whose annual incomes do not exceed 60 percent of the median family
income for the area, adjusted for family size. The City will provide a maximum of $30,000 by
matching the owner's contribution to the rehabilitation. The property owner must contribute the
remaining development costs. Properties rehabilitated under this program must meet applicable local
building codes at the completion of the project.
Property owners will be eligible for assistance under the City's Rental Rehabilitation programs only
if there are no outstanding legal actions pending against them for chronic outstanding violations.
Landlords who have already received assistance under the HUD Rental Rehab program, the MSHDA
HOME Rental Rehab program, or the City's HOME Rental Rehab program will not be eligible for
additional assistance to the same properties. Qualifying property owners must be current on all taxes
and debts owed to the City of Muskegon prior to submitting their application for assistance, and
throughout the HOME affordability period.
Tenant Occupancy
For properties receiving HOME Rental Rehabilitation assistance, the units must be occupied by
families with incomes at or below 80% of area median income, adjusted for family size. Income
determinations will be made at the time of application. Tenant occupancy and income will be re-
certified annually for the length of the applicable affordability period.
Affordability Provisions - Rent Caps
During the affordability period, the rental units in the assisted project may not bear rents greater than
the HUD-designated fair market rents for the Muskegon area - OR - rents that exceed 30% of the
adjusted family income of a family whose gross income equals 65% of the area median income,
whichever rent is lower. Properties will be subject to the affordability period as determined by the
amount of HOME funds invested in the project.
Affordability Provisions - Tenant Incomes
Property owners will be required to re-certify tenant incomes annually throughout the HOME
affordability period.
Anti-Displacement and Relocation
All reasonable efforts will be made to minimize displacement of existing tenants during and after
rehabilitation. Property owners will be required to submit an anti-displacement and relocation plan
during the application process.
Affirmative Marketing
Affirmative marketing efforts made by property owners will be assessed by the City of Muskegon as
follows:
1. Property owner's records shall be examined for actions they have taken; those actions shall
be compared with the affirmative marketing policy in their contractual provisions. If the City
of Muskegon finds that the required actions were carried out, it will be reasonably concluded
that the property owners have made good faith efforts to comply.
2. Property owner's affirmative marketing efforts will be assessed to determine whether persons
from all of the racial and ethnic groups in the City of Muskegon area have become tenants in
the HOME assisted rental units. If the groups are represented we will assume that the
property owners have complied with the affirmative marketing policy.
3. Agencies will be contacted periodically to verify efforts by HOME Rental Rehabilitation
Program recipients to fill vacancies, and whether complaints of housing discrimination or
other related matters have been initiated.
4. An annual survey of tenant occupants shall be conducted to monitor tenant selection,
movement and characteristics. The results of this survey will determine compliance with the
provisions of the HOME Rental Rehabilitation Program and affirmative marketing
requirements. All alleged incidents of discrimination and/or denial of equal opportunity shall
be fully investigated, with findings forwarded to appropriate agencies.
Recapture provisions
The City of Muskegon elects to impose the recapture provision under the HOME program
regulations to ensure that rental prope1ties assisted remain affordable to income-eligible tenants. A
lien will be placed against the property for the length of the applicable affordability period.
The lien will be discharged at the end of the affordability period if the property remains in compliance
with the HOME Rental Rehabilitation Program requirements.
Upon sale of the property or a finding of noncompliance with the program requirements during the
affordability period, the property owner will be required to repay a prorated portion of the HOME
funds used to rehabilitate the property.
