Memorandum
To:    Mayor and Commissioners

From: Frank Peterson

Re:    City Commission Meeting

Date: October 20, 2016

Here is a quick outline of the items on next week’s agenda:

1.     We will have a special recognition for all of the people/groups that adopted lots in the
       Nelson Neighborhood.
2.     Under the consent agenda, we are asking the Commission for approval of the following:
       a. Last meeting’s minutes.
       b. A traffic control order removing the traffic light at Western Avenue and 4th Street.
           The signal would be replaced with 4-way stop signs.
       c. A traffic control order removing the traffic signal at Clay Avenue and Third Street.
           Clay Avenue would STOP while Third Street would flow freely without a stop sign.
       d. A traffic control order to remove the traffic signal at Muskegon Avenue and First
           Street. The signal would be replaced with three-way stop signs (this signal has
           already been removed).
       e. Remove of a number of street lights on Ottawa Street. The total number of lights
           removed will be 27.
       f. The purchase of three police cruisers. These Chevy Impalas will be fully marked with
           light-bars on the top of the vehicles.
       g. An amendment to the zoning ordinance, as recommended by the Planning
           Commission. The amendment would require dance halls to receive a special use
           permit in the B-1 district.
       h. Authorization for Muskegon County to adopt and enforce a storm water runoff and
           post-construction ordinance in the City of Muskegon. We are one of the last cities in
           the metro area to consider this ordinance. It will be a change for our
           residents/developers compared to what is currently practiced. For most
           improvements, applicants will be required to receive a storm water permit and pay
           a $600 fee to the county drain commissioner.
       i. A request to add parcels to the City’s groundwater ordinance. This item already came
           before the commission; however, there were a number of mistakes in the address
          list provided by the consultant. Accordingly, we are asking the commission to add
          this updated list of properties to the ordinance.
     j.   Approval to quit claim transfer five properties to the County Land Bank to allow for
          demolition with grant funds. These properties are owned by the city and would have
          been our cost to demolish. This move will save us $70,000 in demolition costs and
          shift the burden for long-term maintenance (mowing) to the Land Bank.
     k.   Approval to make annual payments toward the West Plan (WMSRDC) at a level not
          to exceed $20,000. We make this payment every year (it’s budgeted), but we have
          annually also passed a resolution authorizing payment. Going forward, we will not
          have an annual resolution unless the costs exceed $20,000. The annual costs are
          currently a between $16,000 and $17,000.

3.   Under public hearings, we will have two items:
        a. The second and final hearing associated with the renewal of the Downtown
           Business Improvement District.
        b. The second and final hearing associated with the proposed LED Streetlight
           Assessment.

4.   Under new business, we will be asking the Commission to approve the following:
        a. Concurrence with the Housing Board of Appeals to demolish the structure at 2152
           South Getty. This is the former Pletcher Furniture Building. It’s in bad shape and
           is owned by the County Land Bank – being sold on land contract.
        b. Authorization to enter into a contract with Consumers Energy to upgrade to LED
           streetlights.

         Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: On August 23, 2016, the City Commission concurred
with the findings of the Housing Board of Appeals that the structure located at
1133 W. Western Avenue is unsafe, substandard, a public nuisance and that it
be demolished. The Commission allowed for time for City staff to work with the
property owner on an agreement for them to conduct the demolition process
themselves in a timely manner. An agreement has been reached requiring both
the demolition and the site restoration. The demolition is to be completed by
December 15, 2016, with restoration being completed by May 31, 2017.
Basement walls are to be removed to a minimum of 36 inches below grade and
the former basement is to be filled with clean sand, topped with black dirt, and
hydroseeded.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:         Upon execution of the Agreement, Mr. Kirksey is to
deposit the sum of $75,000 with the City. If the demolition and restoration are
completed as specified, the funds will be returned to Mr. Kirksey. Otherwise, they
will be used by the City to complete the project.

numerous other businesses looking to create similar and compatible businesses
at the LC. Before moving forward to consider any of these requests, city staff is
asking to have a professional arena designer/developer help create a vision for
the arena. This visioning exercise will help us better understand current trends in
area usage and develop the best product for the community. Accordingly, staff
is seeking permission to enter into an agreement with Rossetti Architecture to
create a conceptual plan for the re-visioning of the LC Walker Arena.

RE:          Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance


SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

Request to amend the zoning ordinance to require “private clubs, lodge halls,
social & similar organizations” to obtain a special land use permit instead of
allowing them as a use by right in B-2, Convenience & Comparison Business
districts.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

None

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

To approve the zoning ordinance amendment.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the request at their

                                              REGULAR MEETING

BACKGROUND

1.      Private clubs, lodge halls and similar uses are currently allowed as a use by right in B-2, Convenience &
        Comparison Business districts. However, they are only allowed under a special use permit in B -4, General
        Business districts, which usually allows for more intense uses than B-2 districts.

2.      Also, the ordinance states that all principal uses permitted in B-2 districts are allowed as a use by right in
        B-4 districts. This is contradictory since you must get a special use permit to operate a private club/lodge
        hall in B-4 districts.

3.      Staff is proposing to amend the ordinance to allow private clubs/lodge halls as a special use permitted in B-
        2 districts. These types of uses can sometimes cause problems with parking, noise and civil disturbances;
        so it would be in the cities best interest to allow them as a special land use so that Planning Commission
        can either set limitations on the use or revoke the permit if problems occur on a regular basis.

4.      Please see the enclosed excerpts for B-2 and B-4 districts.

                                                                                                   1
                Storm Water Runoff & Post-Construction Control Ordinance

Preamble

An Ordinance to provide for the administration of a storm water runoff and post construction
control program within Muskegon County in order to encourage and regulate the proper use and
protection of natural resources, to provide for administration and enforcement, to establish civil
penalties for violations, and to provide for reimbursement of costs incurred by the County
Enforcing Agency pursuant to this Ordinance.

Whereas, land development alters the hydrologic response of watersheds, resulting in increased
storm water runoff rates and volumes, increased flooding, stream channel erosion, sediment
transport and deposition, which damages the integrity of stream channels and their biological
functions and;

Whereas, storm water runoff produced by land development contributes to increased quantities
of water-borne nonpoint pollutants which can impair and destroy natural resources and;

Whereas, increased storm water runoff rates and volumes, and pollutants associated with storm
water runoff from future development projects within the County will, absent reasonable
regulation and control, adversely affect the County's water bodies and water resources, and those
of downstream communities, and;

Whereas, Federal and State regulations require certain municipalities within and including the
County, to implement a program of storm water controls. These municipalities are required to
obtain a permit for storm water discharges from their Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems
(MS4) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES);

Now, therefore be it resolved that; storm water runoff and non-point source pollution can be
controlled and minimized by the regulation of storm water runoff from development and
adopting the following standards, criteria and procedures contained in the Storm water Runoff
and Post-Construction Control Ordinance (Storm Water Ordinance) and implementing it will
address many of the harmful effects of storm water runoff, therefore, adopting the Ordinance is
necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety and welfare of the County.

Whereas, after careful study of the proposed Storm Water Ordinance, the Muskegon County
Board of Public Works has recommended adoption of the Ordinance to the Muskegon County
Board of Commissioners.

Therefore, pursuant to the authority set forth in MCL 46.11(j) and MCL 324.9105(3), the Board
of Commissioners of the County of Muskegon, Michigan, ordains:

       in any given year. For example, a 2-year design storm is a storm with a 50 percent chance
       of occurring during the year. Design storm figures are used to calculate the runoff volume
       and peak discharge rate through a detention or retention basin or other storm water
       management facility.

       3.1.4. Detention - A system which is designed to capture storm water and release it over a
       given time period through an outlet structure at a controlled rate.

       3.1.5. Discharge - The rate of flow of water through an outlet structure at a given point and
       time, measured in cubic feet per second (cfs).

Motion Carried

I, Nancy A. Waters, Muskegon County Clerk, Muskegon, Michigan, do hereby certify that the
foregoing Ordinance was adopted by the Board of Commissioners at a regular meeting on (date),
2015. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the 14th Circuit
Court this __ day of _____, 2016.

                                               16
                                       City of Muskegon
                   Stormwater Runoff and Post-Construction Control Ordinance

An Ordinance to provide for the administration of a stormwater runoff and post construction control
program within Muskegon County in order to encourage and regulate the proper use and protection of
natural resources, to provide for administration and enforcement, to establish civil penalties for
violations, and to provide for reimbursement of costs incurred by the County Enforcing Agency
pursuant to this Ordinance.

Whereas, land development alters the hydrologic response of watersheds, resulting in increased
stormwater runoff rates and volumes, increased flooding, stream channel erosion, sediment transport and
deposition, which damages the integrity of stream channels and their biological functions and;

Whereas, stormwater runoff produced by land development contributes to increased quantities of water-
borne nonpoint pollutants, which can impair and destroy natural resources and;

Whereas, increased stormwater runoff rates and volumes, and pollutants associated with stormwater
runoff from future development projects within the County will, absent reasonable regulation and
control, adversely affect the County's water bodies and water resources, and those of downstream
communities, and;

Whereas, Federal and State regulations require certain municipalities within and including the County,
to implement a program of stormwater controls. These municipalities are required to obtain a permit for
stormwater discharges from their Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), and;

Whereas; stormwater runoff and non-point source pollution can be controlled and minimized by the
regulation of stormwater runoff from development and adopting the standards, criteria and procedures
contained in the Stormwater Runoff and Post-Construction Control Ordinance (Stormwater Ordinance)
and implementing it will address many of the harmful effects of stormwater runoff necessary for the
preservation of the public health, safety and welfare of the County.

Therefore, be it resolved that the governing body of the City of Muskegon supports the Muskegon
County Board of Commissioners to adopt a Stormwater Ordinance and, further, authorizes the County of
Muskegon to implement and enforce the Stormwater Ordinance within the city in order to facilitate
administrative reporting for the requirements associated with this municipality’s stormwater permit
requirements.

This resolution passed.

RE:           Request to Add Parcels to the City’s Existing Groundwater
              Ordinance


SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

The Commission previously approved the parcels to be added to the groundwater ordinance
regarding the former Mobil Oil Pipeline – Sission Ave @ McCracken St on August 23, 2016
(ordinance 2355). However, the applicant listed the wrong parcels on the application, but
they did mail notices to the correct addresses. Staff is requesting to repeal ordinance 2355
and replace it with a new ordinance with the correct parcels listed.

The ordinance prohibits the use of groundwater wells and secondary water supplies under
certain circumstances and in certain locations, to prevent exposure to contaminated
groundwater, as well as to prevent wells from influencing the movement of contaminated
water. Notice was sent to the affected addresses prior to this meeting.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

None

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approval of the ordinance amendment to add the addition 52 parcels.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

None

       assessment in the said district levying on each tax parcel with a state equalized value over
       $1,000 a total of $188.50, ($18.85 per year for ten years) which means that approximately

Budget action required: None

State Equalized value:     $ 60,100

and they fell behind in their Land Contract payments.

that they were behind in their payments again and was not sure what the Land Bank will choose
to do at this time. A. Esparza (financial backer) had inquired about the meeting of the HBA and

he may proceed.
