MOTION PASSES
2024-94 ITEM REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA
D. Request to amend the planned unit development (PUD) at Harbour
Towne to allow for the construction of 28 new condo units. SECOND
READING Planning
The proposed buildings include six fourplexes and two duplexes. The original
PUD for Harbour Towne called for up to 250 units, however, only 190 units were
built. The time has lapsed to complete the additional units, so the PUD must be
amended. A discussion was had regarding the installation of sidewalks, which
was an original condition of approval. The PUD was amended in 2002 to add
Page 2 of 8
Page 6 of 228
three additional duplexes along Fulton St. That amendment noted that the
original agreement for sidewalks for the PUD is retained. During the July 11, 2002
Planning Commission meeting it was noted: “In previous amendments the issue
of pedestrian walkways has come up. The original PUD required that walkways
(sidewalks) be provided when the PUD became more fully developed. This issue
needs to be resolved. Cement sidewalks may not be practical in the
development. A boardwalk may be cost prohibitive. An option may be that a
pedestrian/bike lane be painted on the existing street demarking a pedestrian
area that will prompt motorists to be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists. The
existing swath of pavement is fairly wide and open, which can actually
promote speeding in the development.”
The Planning Commission voted in favor (5 to 3, 1 absent) of recommending
approval of the project with the following conditions:
1. A turnaround must be incorporated at the end of Channel View Point.
2. An additional fire hydrant must be added along Channel View Point.
3. A stormwater permit must be obtained from the Engineering Department
before construction commences
4. A landscaping plan is provided.
5. Sidewalks through Harbour Towne Circle East and West are installed within
two years from the commencement of construction.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move that the request to amend the planned unit
development (PUD) at Harbour Towne to allow for the construction of 28 new
condo units be approved with the following conditions:
1. A turnaround must be incorporated at the end of Channel View Point.
2. An additional fire hydrant must be added along Channel View Point.
3. A stormwater permit must be obtained from the Engineering Department
before construction commences
4. A landscaping plan is provided.
5. Sidewalks through Harbour Towne Circle East and West are installed within
two years from the commencement of construction.
Motion by Commissioner Kochin, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to approve the
request to amend the planned unit development (PUD) at Harbour Towne to
allow for the construction of 28 new condo units be approved with the following
conditions:
1. A turnaround must be incorporated at the end of Channel View Point.
2. An additional fire hydrant must be added along Channel View Point.
3. A stormwater permit must be obtained from the Engineering Department
before construction commences.
4. A landscaping plan is provided.
5. Sidewalks through Harbour Towne Circle East and West are installed within

MOTION PASSES
2024-95 NEW BUSINESS
A. Amendment to Section 404 of the zoning ordinance to remove R-2 and
R-3 districts and to adjust the area and bulk requirements for R-1
districts. Planning
This is a staff-initiated request to amend the zoning ordinance to allow all single-
family residential lots to be considered buildable as long as they are at least 30
feet wide and 3,000 in size. There are currently three separate single-family
residential districts in the zoning ordinance; R-1, R-2, and R-3; which all allow the
same uses. The main difference between these districts is how much lot width is
required to be considered a buildable lot. This proposal would eliminate R-2 and
R-3 districts and change the bulk and area requirements to the current R-3
standards, which requires a minimum 30-foot lot width and 3,000 sf in size. The
new Maximum Lot Coverage requirements would also match the current R-3
standards (buildings 70%, pavement 20%). The chart in Section 404 would be
removed and the Area and Bulk Requirements would be represented as they
previously were in the zoning ordinance (without a chart). The Planning
Commission unanimously (6-0, 2 abstain, 1 absent) voted to approve the
request as presented.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to amend Section 404
of the zoning as presented.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair to approve the
request to amend Section 404 of the zoning as presented.
Motion amended by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair to
include that when a lot is covered over 80% by the combination of buildings
and pavement, the remaining amount of pavement allowed must be pervious.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Gorman, St.Clair, Johnson, and Kilgo
Nays: German and Kochin
MOTION PASSES (REQUIRES SECOND READING)
C. Amendment to Article II of the zoning ordinance to create a definition for
accessory dwelling unit. Planning
This is a staff-initiated request to amend Article II of the zoning ordinance to
create a definition for accessory dwelling unit.
Proposed definition:
Page 4 of 8
Page 8 of 228
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU): An accessory structure typically located at the
rear of a lot that provides either a small residential unit or home office space.
The Planning Commission unanimously (6-0, 2 abstain, 1 absent) voted to
approve the request as presented.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to amend Article II of
the zoning ordinance as presented.
Motion by Commissioner Kochin, second by Commissioner Kilgo, to approve
the request to amend Article II of the zoning ordinance as presented.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Kilgo, Gorman, Kochin, St.Clair, and Johnson
Nays: German
MOTION PASSES (REQUIRES SECOND READING)
B. Amendment to Section 400 of the zoning ordinance to allow duplexes,
triplexes, and accessory dwelling units as principal uses permitted in the
Single-Family Residential Districts. Planning
This is a staff-initiated request to amend Section 400 of the zoning ordinance to
allow duplexes, triplexes, and accessory dwelling units as principal uses
permitted in the Single-Family Residential Districts.
Currently, single-family is the only housing option in R districts. This proposal
recommends allowing duplexes, triplexes and accessory dwelling units (under
certain conditions) in these districts. Duplexes would have to be on lots at least
40 feet wide. Triplexes would have to be on lots at least 50 feet wide and must
have an alley in the back. Accessory Dwelling Units would have to be located
behind an existing housing unit. The Planning Commission unanimously (6-0, 2
abstain, 1 absent) voted to approve the request as presented.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the amendments to Section 400
of the zoning ordinance as proposed.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to approve the
amendments to Section 400 of the zoning ordinance as proposed.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Johnson, Kilgo, Gorman, Kochin, and St.Clair
Nays: German
MOTION PASSES (REQUIRES SECOND READING)
D. Amendment to Article IV of the zoning ordinance to remove R-2 and R-3
districts and rename the single-family residential district. Planning
This is a staff-initiated request to amend Article IV of the zoning ordinance to
remove R-2 and R-3 districts and rename single-family residential districts.
Page 5 of 8
Page 9 of 228
If the request to allow duplexes, triplexes and accessory dwelling units is
approved, the name of the zoning designation should be changed to reflect
the types of houses allowed. Staff proposes changing the name from “Single-
Family Residential” to “Neighborhood Residential.” The Planning Commission
unanimously (6-0, 2 abstain, 1 absent) voted to approve the request as
presented.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the request to amend Article IV of
the zoning ordinance as presented.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Commissioner Kochin, to approve
the request to amend Article IV of the zoning ordinance as presented.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: St.Clair, Johnson, Kilgo, and Gorman
Nays: German and Kochin
MOTION PASSES (REQUIRES SECOND READING)
E. Amendment to Section 2326 of the zoning ordinance to reduce the
minimum number of parking spaces for single-family and multi-family
dwelling units. Planning
This is a staff-initiated request to amend Section 2326 of the zoning ordinance to
reduce the minimum number of parking spaces for single-family and multi-
family dwelling units. Staff is proposing to reduce the minimum number of
parking spaces required per dwelling unit from two to one.
Only one parking space per dwelling unit was required for residential uses prior
to an ordinance amendment in 2002. Large apartment complexes continue to
overdevelop parking lots based on the zoning ordinance’s requirements. Staff
had considered proposing to eliminate parking minimums altogether, as is the
case in form-based code districts, but based on public feedback a reduction to
one parking space per dwelling unit is being proposed instead. The Planning
Commission unanimously (6-0, 2 abstain, 1 absent) voted to approve the
request as presented.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the amendments to Section 2326
of the zoning ordinance as presented.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Vice Mayor St.Clair, to approve the
amendments to Section 2326 of the zoning ordinance as presented.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: St.Clair, Johnson, Kilgo, and Gorman

MOTION PASSES (REQUIRES SECOND READING)

F. Amendment to Article XX of the zoning ordinance to allow the
conversion of single-family houses into duplexes and triplexes. Planning
This is a staff-initiated request to make minor amendments to the design criteria
in the form-based code to allow single-family houses to be converted into
duplexes and triplexes, under certain conditions.
Within the form-based code districts, a few minor design requirements could
prevent converting a single-family house into a duplex or triplex. Please see the
enclosed Planning Commission Excerpt that depicts these changes in more
detail. The Planning Commission unanimously (6-0, 2 abstain, 1 absent) voted to
approve the request as presented.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I move to approve the amendments to Article XX of
the zoning ordinance as presented.
Motion by Commissioner Kilgo, second by Commissioner Kochin, to approve
the amendments to Article XX of the zoning ordinance as presented.
ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Gorman, Kochin, St.Clair, Johnson, Kilgo, and German
Nays: None

Commission Meeting Date: November 26, 2024 Title: Beach Parking Pass Price Adjustments
Submitted by: LeighAnn Mikesell, Deputy City Department: Manager's Office
Manager
Brief Summary:
Staff is requesting updated pricing for beach parking passes.
Detailed Summary & Background:
After reviewing data on attendance and passes sold, the Parking Committee is recommending
changes to the pay structure for beach parking passes. Placer.ai data indicates that Tuesdays and
Wednesdays are the days when attendance is lowest, and on Wednesdays attendees are more
likely to be local. Our beaches remain very popular on the weekends when daily fees are higher. In
an effort to spread attendance across all weekdays, we recommend the following price structure.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday daily pass - $10
Wednesday daily pass - FREE
Friday through Sunday daily pass - $20
Season pass - $40
Ticket fees will be adjusted separately once price changes are finalized.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: November 26, 2024 Title: Amendment to NEZ Certificate Applications
for Shaw Walker Redevelopment Project, 920
Washington Ave., 965 W. Western Ave.
Submitted by: Contessa Alexander, Development Department: Economic Development
Analyst
Brief Summary:
This amendment to the NEZ certificate applications is necessitated by the statutory requirement mandating
separate applications for units totaling up to eight per application. This measure ensures compliance while
facilitating the approval process for multiple buildings as part of the broader Shaw Walker redevelopment
project.
Detailed Summary & Background:
At the City Commission meeting on August 13, 2024 NEZ applications were approved for 15 years for Shaw
Walker Opportunity Business 1, LLC and Shaw Walker Opportunity Business 2, LLC for buildings 3-6 located at
920 Washington Ave. and 965 W. Western Ave.
The State reviewed the application package and determined that the NEZ applications must be amended to
include separate applications, with a maximum of eight units per application. As a result, there are now 120
applications covering Buildings 3, 4, 5, and 6, each with a 15-year duration for their respective certificates.
I have attached one application per building to this item for reference. Below is a summary of the buildings
and the number of units per building:

Tax Act (1893 PA 206, MCL 211.7a).
“(3) The certificate for a homestead facility or new facility is automatically revoked if the homestead facility or

Fort Walton Beach, Fl 32547
Dear Mr. Mahone,
This letter is to inform you that your Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) Certificate (#2019-039) is at
risk. The NEZ certificate, which freezes your property assessment for a specified period based on
improvements made to the property, has a key requirement: the property must be the owner's primary
residence to qualify for the exemption.
City records indicate that your primary residence is listed in Fort Walton Beach, FL.
As outlined in the State law governing NEZ certificates (P.A. 147 of 1992, Sec. 11(3)):
"The certificate for a homestead facility or new facility is automatically revoked if the homestead
facility or new facility is no longer a homestead as that term is defined in section 7a of the General
Property Tax Act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.7a."
Additionally, the State defines "homestead" in P.A. 147 of 1992, Sec. 2(i) as follows:
"An existing structure, purchased by or transferred to an owner after December 31, 1996, that has as
its primary purpose residential housing consisting of 1 or 2 units, one of which is occupied by an
owner as his or her principal residence and that is located within a subdivision platted pursuant to
state law before January 1, 1968."
Next Steps:
To retain your NEZ certificate, you must provide evidence that 308 Terrace Point is your primary
residence. Please submit the following documents to the City Treasurer’s Office by October 15, 2024:
A copy of your Michigan driver’s license or state ID showing your primary residence address as 308
Terrace Point.
A recent utility bill for 308 Terrace Point in your name.
Proof of your Primary Residence Exemption (PRE) status for the property.
If we do not receive the requested documentation by the specified date, your NEZ certificate may be
automatically revoked.
Please contact us at (231) 724-4141 if you have any questions or require further clarification.
Sincerely,
Contessa Alexander
Development Analyst

the services based on their experience with similar projects, and proposed timeframe for completion
of the conservation work. Their $110,278 bid includes the grant-eligible conservation work for the five
monuments within Hackley Park as well as work on the McKinley monument and the Kearny
monument as they are of similar age and condition, but not eligible for grant funds (McKinley is
privately owned, and Kearny is outside the designated historic district boundary).
With articulated or boom lifts and project cost increases, it is requested that the City contribution,
including match, be increased to $70,278. This amount is available in the Public Art Maintenance
fund and is not currently allocated.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: November 26, 2024 Title: Taste of Muskegon Transition Agreement -
LAB Events
Submitted by: Kyle Karczewski, Parks and Department: DPW- Parks
Recreation Director
Brief Summary:
LAB Events has requested the transition of ownership of Taste of Muskegon from the City of Muskegon
Parks & Recreation Department. An agreement to outline that transition is included for consideration
and approval.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Taste of Muskegon is entering its 19th year. Prior to becoming a City Event in 2018, the festival was
part of the Downtown Muskegon Now group. Taste of Muskegon is a 2-day food and beverage
festival taking place in and around Hackley Park. Around 30 Muskegon-area restaurants and food
vendors line streets where they sell sample-sized portions of their menu items for patrons to "taste" in
hopes of drawing people into their businesses regularly. Expenses are between $90,000-$100,000 a
year and revenues have generally been around $140,000-$150,000. Taste of Muskegon does not pay
any of its committee members.
When the City started running this event, it ran out of the Clerk's office where the 1-2 Event Planners
were housed at the time. The event moved with the Event Planners to Parks & Recreation in 2023
when they transferred departments. Neither of the staff members' time or salaries for organizing and
executing the event are reflected in the event's budget. The Recreation Coordinators spend over
25% of their working hours planning this event. A transition would be a drastic improvement in the
capacity for the Parks & Recreation department to provide recreation programs for the community.
The LAB team has requested $25,000 for seed money for this event. This request is due to the high
level of standard the event has, to build up the infrastructure for the events to maintain and continue
at this level and for a safety net for a rainout. The request is only for the first year and not an ongoing
funding source. The contract states that if LAB fails to produce the event the City of Muskegon would
be reimbursed at a rate of $12,500 per year for the first 2 years and all assets would be surrendered. A
budget amendment will be needed to reflect a reduced budget for Taste this FY, as the DDA had
$90,000 budgeted and only $25,000 is necessary. The requested funding would be from Taste of
Muskegon profits that DDA holds and not out of the City operations budget.

“The City of Muskegon, all elected and appointed officials, all employees and volunteers, all boards,
commissions and/or authorities and board members, including employees and volunteers thereof; it
is understood and agreed that by naming the City of Muskegon as additional insured, coverage
afforded is considered to be primary and any other insurance the City of Muskegon may have in

cost. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide acceptable hoses for potable water usage, which
meet Health Department requirements.
(f) Inspections. The event location is subject to all building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical,

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: November 26, 2024 Title: Background Investigation Services Bid
Submitted by: Timothy Kozal, Public Safety Department: Public Safety
Director
Brief Summary:
Staff is seeking to authorize the award of Background Investigation Services to Fias Investigations, LLC
for pre-employment background checks.
Detailed Summary & Background:
The City of Muskegon Police Department performs background checks as part of the City's pre-
employement process for both sworn and civilian employees. A background check is processed prior
to a candidate being selected for hire. This includes, but is not limited to inquiring about one's
criminal, employment and credit history. Currently, the Neighborhood Police Unit officers perform all
background checks needed for employment at the City of Muskegon. This task has become time-
consuming for full-time officers to complete and has taken away from their duties as neighborhood
officers. The City of Muskegon Police Department is recommending outsourcing this task to a private
company for various reasons including:
• Reduced Bias and Increased Objectivity: Private companies may approach background
investigations with a more objective, neutral stance, free from internal biases.
• Improved Efficiency: Many private companies specialize in background checks, often with
streamlined processes and dedicated resources for this specific function. They may complete
investigations faster than a busy police department where officers may have multiple
competing responsibilities.
• Cost Savings: Outsourcing to a private company may be more cost-effective for some
agencies, especially if they lack the resources to dedicate full-time officers to this task. This can
reduce the financial burden of hiring, training, and supervising officers specifically for
background checks.
• Better Use of Police Resources: By outsourcing background checks, the City of Muskegon Police
Department can free up officers to focus on their core responsibilities, like community policing
and criminal investigations, which are often more pressing for public safety.
• Specialized Expertise: Private companies may have investigators with specialized skills in
conducting thorough background checks, including deep dives into financial records,
employment history, and social media. This expertise can enhance the depth and quality of
the investigation.
Page 117 of 228
The only bidder, Fias Investigations, LLC has estimated that each background investigation would
take 30 hours at a rate of $80 per hour and not to exceed 40 billable hours with no more than $200 for
administrative fees and web-based searches. The City of Muskegon Police Department estimates
that no more than 8 background checks will be needed for potential City of Muskegon employees
by June 30, 2025.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: November 26, 2024 Title: Rezoning of 1095 3rd St from B-2 to FBC, NC.
Submitted by: Mike Franzak, Planning Director Department: Planning
Brief Summary:
Staff initiated request to rezone a portion of 1095 3rd Street from Convenience Comparison Business
(B-2), to Form Based Code, Neighborhood Core.
Detailed Summary & Background:
The City of Muskegon recently sold the former “Catholic Charities” property at the corner of
3rd/Houston. The developer plans to rehab the existing building into apartments and to also add
additional residential units, such as rowhouses, on the vacant portion of land along Houston Ave. The
portion of the property that contains the existing building is zoned Form Based Code, Mainstreet. Staff
is proposing to rezone the current B-2 portion of the property to Form Based Code, Neighborhood
Core. Staff believes this zoning designation would allow the most flexibility for different types of
housing units, as the addition is still being designed.
The Planning Commission unanimously voted (7-0, 2 absent) to recommend approval of the rezoning.

Muskegon City Commission
Commission Meeting Date: November 26, 2024 Title: Amendment to Section 404 of the zoning
ordinance to remove R-2 and R-3 districts and to
adjust the area and bulk requirements for R-1
districts. SECOND READING
Submitted by: Mike Franzak, Planning Director Department: Planning
Brief Summary:
This is a staff-initiated request to amend the zoning ordinance to allow all single-family residential lots
to be considered buildable as long as they are at least 30 feet wide and 3,000 in size.
Detailed Summary & Background:
There are currently three separate single-family residential districts in the zoning ordinance; R-1, R-2,
and R-3; which all allow the same uses. The main difference between these districts is how much lot
width is required to be considered a buildable lot. This proposal would eliminate R-2 and R-3 districts
and change the bulk and area requirements to the current R-3 standards, which requires a minimum
30-foot lot width and 3,000 sf in size. The new Maximum Lot Coverage requirements would be 70% for
buildings and 20% for pavement. During the first reading, the Maximum Lot Coverage requirements
were amended to include a statement that "when a lot is covered over 80% by the combination of
buildings and pavement, the remaining amount of pavement allowed must be pervious." The chart in
Section 404 would be removed and the Area and Bulk Requirements would be represented as they
previously were in the zoning ordinance (without a chart).
The Planning Commission unanimously (6-0, 2 abstain, 1 absent) voted to approve the request as
presented.

Commission Meeting Date: November 26, 2024 Title: Amendment to Section 2326 of the zoning
ordinance to reduce the minimum number of
parking spaces for single-family and multi-family
dwelling units. SECOND READING
Submitted by: Mike Franzak, Planning Director Department: Planning
Brief Summary:
This is a staff-initiated request to amend Section 2326 of the zoning ordinance to reduce the minimum
number of parking spaces for single-family and multi-family dwelling units. Staff is proposing to reduce
the minimum number of parking spaces required per dwelling unit from two to one.
Detailed Summary & Background:
Only one parking space per dwelling unit was required for residential uses prior to an ordinance
amendment in 2002. Large apartment complexes continue to overdevelop parking lots based on the
zoning ordinance’s requirements. Staff had considered proposing to eliminate parking minimums
altogether, as is the case in form-based code districts, but based on public feedback a reduction to
one parking space per dwelling unit is being proposed instead.
The Planning Commission unanimously (6-0, 2 abstain, 1 absent) voted to approve the request as
presented.

Hearing, Case 2024-32: Staff-initiated request to amend Article XX of the zoning ordinance to allow the
conversion of single-family houses into duplexes and small multiplexes.
SUMMARY
1. Within the form-based code districts, a few minor design requirements could prevent converting a
single-family house into a duplex or triplex.
2. These requirements for Duplex Buildings include (requirements written in black. Suggested
amendments written in red):
a. Duplexes require “Entrances to upper floor unit(s) to be located at the front and/or side street
and shall be directly accessed from and face the street (2006.16, 4.0, B.). Add language stating
that existing Detached House Buildings may add an additional unit without meeting this
requirement.
b. Stoop Frontage Option for a Detached House allows for entry doors to be uncovered with no
canopy or supported roof (2006.17, B., 2.) while duplexes require that entry doors be covered
with a roof supported with columns. Add uncovered porches as an option for Duplex
Buildings.
c. Engaged Porch Frontage Option for a Duplex requires that a minimum of 50% of the building
facade projects either beyond the line of the porch columns or flush with the porch columns
(2006.16, H.), while a Detached House requires a minimum of 33% (2006.17, H.). Reduce the
50% requirement for Duplex Buildings to 33%.
3. These requirements for Small Multiplex Buildings include (requirements written in black. Suggested
amendments written in red):
a. Small Multiplexes shall have an 18” to 32” pilaster or wall surface every 18 to 30 feet along
building facades facing streets. Pilasters shall extend vertically from grade to cornice expression
line (this is not a requirement for the Detached House Building Type). Remove this requirement.
b. 10’ minimum ground floor ceiling height (9’ for Detached House Building Type). Reduce this
requirement from 10’ to 9’ for Small Multiplexes.
c. Different types of entry door treatments are required for Small Multiplexes and Detached
Houses (2006.14, 9.01, A.2.). Add uncovered porches as an option for Small Multiplexes.
d. 18” minimum stoop height for a Small Multiplex is higher than the 12” minimum for a Detached
House. Reduce the minimum stoop height for Small Multiplex Buildings from 18” to 12”.
e. A Small Multiplex Building requires that 10% to 50% of the façade between the adjacent grade
and the finish floor line of the second story be windows, but Detached House Buildings require
40% to 60% be windows. Increase the maximum percentage for Small Multiplex Buildings
from 50% to 60%.
f. Engaged Porch Frontage Option for a Small Multiplex requires that a minimum of 50% of the
building facade projects either beyond the line of the porch columns or flush with the porch
columns while a Detached House requires a minimum of 33%. Reduce the 50% requirement
for Small Multiplex Buildings to 33%.
4. Please see the proposed amendments on the following pages. A redlined version is not compatible with
the document type that is used for the form-based code. Instead, proposed amendments have been
highlighted.

Eighth Amendment to Shared Use Agreement
This Eighth Amendment to Shared Use Agreement (“Eighth Amendment”) dated effective
November ___, 2024 (“Effective Date”), is entered into between the City of Muskegon, a municipal
corporation, of 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan 49440 (“City”) and Muskegon Lumberjacks
Organization, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, with Peter Herms, as Owner, of 470 W.
Western Avenue, Muskegon, Michigan 49440 (“Lumberjacks”) (collectively, the “Parties”) with
reference to the following facts:
Recitals
A. The City and WC Hockey, LLC entered onto a Shared Use Agreement dated July 1,
2019, which WC Hockey, LLC has assigned to Muskegon Lumberjacks Organization, LLC.
B. The Shared Use Agreement has been amended by the First Amendment dated July 1,
2019 which revised paragraphs 3 (Term: Early Termination), 12(a) (Shared Sponsorships) and 14(c)
(Additional Lease Space, Future Restaurants, Pubs or Retail Space); Second Amendment dated July 1,
2019 which revised paragraphs 4(c) (Minimum Gross Revenue) and 12(a) (Shared Sponsorship); Third
Amendment dated July 1, 2019 which revised Paragraphs 12 (Sponsorship and Advertising), 14(a)
(Capital Construction), 18 (City Participation), and WZZM Studio Space; Fourth Amendment dated July
1, 2019 which revised paragraph 14(a) (Capital Construction); Fifth Amendment dated July 1, 2021
which revised Paragraph 3 (Term); Sixth Amendment dated May 23, 2023, which among other things
provided for additional Option Terms; and Seventh Amendment dated August 27, 2024, which revised
Paragraph 14(a) Capital Construction.
C. The Sixth Amendment contemplated the City and Lumberjacks would work together in
good faith to enter into future written agreements to make additional agreed upon capital improvements to
the Arena, and how the costs related thereto would be shared. To that end, the Parties entered the Seventh
Amendment to set forth the terms and conditions according to which the City and Lumberjacks would
share in the costs of purchase and installation of a new overhead Scoreboard in the Arena.
D. In consideration of the Lumberjacks past investment in capital improvements to the
Arena and the anticipated mutually agreed upon future capital improvements to be made by the
Lumberjacks and its owner Peter Herms, the Parties desire to enter this Eighth Amendment to set forth the
terms and conditions under which the City will agree not to consent to any voluntary or involuntary
assignment of the Shared Use Agreement.
Therefore, in consideration of the above Recitals, the Shared Use Agreement is amended and
modified as follows:
1. Assignment. The City agrees that so long as the Lumberjacks are not in default in the
payment of annual amounts or any other amounts owed to City under the Shared Use Agreement, the City
will not consent to the voluntary or involuntary assignment of the Lumberjacks interest in this Shared Use
Agreement to any third party.
2. Full Force and Effect. Except as set forth in this Eighth Amendment, the terms and
conditions of the Shared Use Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In case any of the
provisions of the Shared Use Agreement, as amended, contradict or conflict with this Eighth Amendment,
the terms of this Eighth Amendment shall prevail.
Page 214 of 228
3. Counterparts/Electronic Signature. This Eighth Amendment may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties to this Amendment on separate counterparts, each of
which, when so executed, will be deemed an original, but all such counterparts will constitute one and the
same amendment. Any signature delivered by a party by fax or email will be deemed to be an original
signature.
4. Full Execution. This Eighth Amendment requires the signature of all parties. Until fully
executed, on a sign copy or in counterparts, this Eighth Amendment is of no binding or effect and if not
fully executed, this Eighth Amendment is void.
The Parties hereto have executed this Eighth Amendment as of the Effective Date.

of Muskegon and Muskegon Limited Dividend
Housing Association, Lofts of Muskegon, 122 W.
Muskegon Ave.
Submitted by: Contessa Alexander, Development Department: Economic Development
Analyst
Brief Summary:
Muskegon Limited Dividend Housing Association has applied for an EGLE Grant in the amount of
$872,500
Detailed Summary & Background:
Muskegon Limited Dividend Housing Association, LLC (the developer) has been invited to apply for
an EGLE Grant on behalf of the City of Muskegon (applicant) for the proposed Lofts of Muskegon
development located at 122 W. Muskegon Avenue. The grant request totals $872,500.
The site, last occupied by a fast-food restaurant from 1997 to 2015, is currently vacant. The proposed
redevelopment involves the construction of a 4-story multifamily affordable housing complex with 46
units, following the demolition of existing site features. The total private investment is estimated at
approximately $16 million, with the creation of two part-time jobs anticipated.
Due to its historical uses—including a gas station, battery storage shop, dry cleaner, and auto repair
shop—the site has documented contamination. Soil and soil gas samples collected from the property
reveal the presence of contaminants, necessitating the proper management of contaminated soil
and the implementation of a vapor mitigation system (VMS) to safeguard indoor air quality for future
residents. Grant funds will be utilized to cover the design and installation of the VMS and the removal
and proper disposal of contaminated soil generated during site demolition and redevelopment
(excluding the cost of excavation).
The project is expected to commence in March 2025, with completion anticipated by March 2026.
EGLE requires a development agreement between the applicant and the developer, outlining the
responsibilities of each party. A draft of the proposed development agreement is attached for
review.

1101 Pine St
Submitted by: Timothy Kozal, Public Safety Department: Public Safety
Director
Brief Summary:
To concur with the Housing Board of Appeals decision to deem 1101 Pine St. a dangerous building
and authorize Melching, Inc. as the lowest bidder to execute the demolition.
Detailed Summary & Background:
1101 Pine St was brought to the attention of staff in February 2024. After performing an exterior
inspection, it was apparent the structure was in fact a dangerous building. Deficiencies noted in that
report, from failing roof frame to failing foundation members, the greatest cause for concern being
the structure had begun to cave in on itself from excessive water damage and decay in a roof
valley. All appropriate notices and orders were sent to the property owner. At their September
meeting, the Housing Board of Appeals recommended that the building be taken down. The building
appears to be deteriorating at an increasingly fast rate, and staff have concerns that it could
collapse even before the commission meeting on Nov. 26. Staff went ahead and requested bids for
the demolition, with Melching, Inc. coming in the lowest bid at $97,000.

Muskegon, MI 49440
Information:
The address was brought to the attention of staff in February of 2024. After performing an exterior inspection, it
was apparent the structure was in fact a dangerous building. Deficiencies noted in that report, from failing roof
frame to failing foundation members, the greatest cause for concern being the structure had begun to cave in on
itself from excessive water damage and decay in a roof valley. A notice and order was sent in March of 2024 in
hopes of having a responsible party reply. However, no contact was made.
On July 18th, 2024, staff was provided with a contact number for the owner and when a call was made it was
unanswered. This continued for several days. Finally, a call was made again. This call was received by the
owner, who was preoccupied and quickly asked to call back the next day. No call was returned, so staff reached
out again to discuss the property and the high potential for structure collapse and how soon that may be a reality
due to unpredictable weather in October. During that discussion, the owner was asked if any action had been
taken to contact a contractor, or if any estimates had been previously made. Also noted in that discussion the
dangerous building ordnance in the city of Muskegon and what that meant for him as a property owner. The
owner noted having a discussion with his wife and returning a call. To date, no return call has been made.
The McLaughlin neighborhood association has contacted staff multiple times as the concern about the
structure's collapse grows greater with every rain for nearby homeowners. Statistically, when a structure
collapses, the fall radius of said structure is 1-1/2 times the height of the noted structure. With an estimated 60'
of height on the structure, this would make the fall radius of the structure approx. 150', with the average city
street approx. 50' feet. A collapse of this structure could be catastrophic for neighboring homes and businesses.
The building department's recommendation for the structure is demolition due to Article III Sec. 10-61 of the
Muskegon city code. It is imperative that the structure is demolished as soon as possible to avoid catastrophe for
the neighboring homes.
Complaint Notice:
A Dangerous Buildings complaint letter was sent February 5th, 2024.

Contact with Owner:
Contact has been made with the owner. To express the severity of the issues at the property. During that
discussion, staff inquired about gaining access to the property for asbestos testing as this would greatly reduce
the cost of demolition. The owner at that time stated that he did have a key and would provide access, but was
dealing with family matters and would reach out later in the week as he had noted in previous calls.
When the owner did not reach out, staff made efforts to contact the owner to personally retrieve and return the
key. At this point, the owner expressed his frustration with the city as he was still dealing with family matters
and did not have time to address the structure. This conversation was held on or around Monday, October 7th.
The second call was held in the afternoon of October 10th. The owner has not returned any unanswered calls
and has not tried to contact staff in any capacity.
