F. National Fish & Wildlife Fund Grant Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is requesting authorization to apply for a grant
through the National Fish and Wildlife Fund (NFWF) Coastal Resiliency Program
to assist in developing a sustainable and resilient coastline of Lake Michigan
along Beach Street.
Staff is seeking to apply for a $250,000 grant through the National Fish and
Wildlife Fund Coastal Resiliency Program to complete a detailed site assessment,
and 50% design plans for a long term repair of the Lake Michigan Coastline
along Beach Street.
The area has been substantially damaged by the high lake levels and erosion
on Lake Michigan and a long term sustainable solution is needed to ensure that
the recreational uses of the shoreline are preserved, along with the critical road
and water main infrastructure. The NFWF Coastal Resiliency Grant that we are
proposing to apply for would allow for detailed survey and engineering work to
be started that will identify sustainable long term solutions for protecting the
shoreline and infrastructure. The grant proposal would utilize a combination of
engineered hard surface protections and green infrastructure to restore habitat
create long term resiliency. The grant and associated project would lay the
groundwork for completing design and constructing a long term sustainable
solution in future years.
Staff from Ramboll has volunteered to assist at no cost in the pre-proposal
submittal documents which determine our eligibility for the project. A draft of
the pre-proposal submittal is attached.
The proposed 1:1 match will be achieved through in-kind services that we
are already providing to operate and maintain Pere Marquette Park and the
Water Filtration Plant. No cash would be required from any parties during this
first stage of the project if selected.
The grant pre-proposal is due on Wednesday, April 8th and will be submitted
by staff prior to the Commission Meeting. The grant opportunity became known
to staff at a time that did not allow for review and discussion at City Commission
prior to submittal. However, given the lack of financial commitment at this stage
Page 2 of 8
and the previously discussed need at this site staff determined it was
appropriate to apply by the deadline and follow up with discussion at the
Commission level.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution of support and authorize the
Mayor and Clerk to sign and commit to funding the required match and
engineering costs in future fiscal years if the project is selected.
G. P & N Lakeshore Drive Amendment #2 Public Works
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Authorize staff to sign an amendment to the
professional services agreement with Prien and Newhof relative to the Lakeshore
Drive project for $78,650.
The original project schedule anticipated that the work would be completed on
September 13, 2019. Work was not completed for the season until December 6,
2019 with approximately 1 additional week of work in the Spring of 2020 to fully
complete the project items. This amendment allows for Prien & Newhof to be
compensated for the additional engineering and inspection time required to
complete the project.
Discussions with the Contractor and MDOT for this project are still ongoing and if
there are any liquidated damages assessed against the Contractor for delays in
the project those recouped funds will be used to cover this expense in the
interim the amount was included in the reforecast of the current budget under
the water fund.
AMOUNT REQUESTED: $78,650 FUND OR ACCOUNT: 591-91711-5346

Plan Amendment for 372 Morris Avenue submitted by Foundry Square LLC and

seven acres at 372 Morris Avenue. Plans include an 82-room hotel, four-story 240-
space parking deck, a 40,000-square foot entertainment center in the first phase
and mixed commercial-residential development in a second phase. The

$1.75 million of environmental costs supported by the Michigan Department of
Environment Great Lakes & Energy and $10.56 million for redevelopment costs
through the Michigan Strategic Fund. The largest eligible cost is $8.4 million for
the parking deck. Public right of way infrastructure of roads, water and sewer
with the extension of Second Street into the development will be completed by
the developer to city specifications. The plan anticipates paying off eligible
costs in 2045 with the remaining five years of the 30-year plan’s tax increments
placed in the city’s Local Brownfield Revolving Fund. There is an annual $10,000
administrative fee to the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and the plan
does not request reimbursement on interest for any borrowing to complete
eligible costs. The Muskegon Brownfield Development Authority approve the
plan March 10. The Michigan Strategic Fund will need to approve the plan.

Planning Commission Excerpt:
Hearing, Case 2020-07: Staff initiated request to rezone multiple properties in the Nelson
neighborhood to Form Based Code, Urban Residential.
SUMMARY
1. Staff is recommending to rezone most of the single-family properties in the Nelson
Neighborhood to Form Based Code, Urban Residential. The rezoning would allow for a
wider range of housing options; including single-family, townhomes, duplexes and small
multiplexes. The Nelson Neighborhood already has a large selection of these home types,
but many of them were initially single-family homes that were split-up into multiple units.
This has lead to some blight issues, because many of the homes became denser without
having the appropriate sized lot. The form based code addresses this issue and also
requires more stringent design guidelines.
2. Almost all of the existing duplexes and small multiplexes in the Nelson Neighborhood are
considered non-conforming, which can lead to problems with financing, insurance and
rebuilding. A rezoning to FBC, Urban Residential would alleviate many of these problems.
3. Please see the enclosed Rental Properties Map. The map shows that 38% of residential
parcels in the Nelson Neighborhood are rental properties. Duplexes account for 11% of
the parcels. The current zoning does not allow for duplexes and small multiplexes. The
current zoning does not match the reality of neighborhood.
4. As Nelson Neighborhood continues to redevelop, staff wants to make sure that a mixture
of different housing types are created to continue to address the different housing needs of
the diverse neighborhood.
5. Equally as important, it is imperative that we do not zone existing residents out of the
neighborhood. Many homes in the area are aging and becoming uninhabitable, weather
through disinvestment or disasters. As non-conforming multi-family homes are
demolished, it is important that we allow new multi-family homes to be built in their place
(on appropriately sized lots) so that tenants are not forced out of the neighborhood because
of limited housing options.
6. The proposed rezonings do not include Jefferson St south of the high school.
7. A brief presentation on this topic will be given at the meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request as presented.
DELIBERATION
Motion for consideration:
I move that the request to rezone the properties in the Nelson neighborhood as presented to Form
Based Code, Urban Residential be recommended to the City Commission for (approval/denial).
