MOTION PASSES
2004-70 NEW BUSINESS:
A. Steps to Reduce Outstanding Accounts Receivable. FINANCE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is proposing several steps to deal with unpaid
account receivable balances including: l) an amnesty program to run from July
28th through September 17th during which time persons having delinquent
accounts will have a one-time opportunity to bring them current without penalty
or interest, 2) outsource billing for the environmental program to Paramount
Collections, 3) set a standard 30-day A/R appeal period and, 4) amend the fee
schedule for newly issued environmental invoices and building demolition
invoices to allow a 30% discount if paid within 30 days.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: These steps are intended to bring down outstanding A/R
balances prior to year-end. Tighter accounting standards allow us to recognize
only a portion of our total A/R balance at year-end. This will negatively impact
the general fund fund balance and we are attempting to minimize the effect.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time. Depending on the success of
these steps, the budget at year-end will need to be adjusted to some degree
due to the tighter standards.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the commission adopt a
motion/resolution approving the above A/R initiatives.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: There is no committee recommendation.
Motion by Commissioner Spataro, second by Vice Mayor Larson to approve the
accounts receivable initiatives.

Warmington

July 15, 2004
Hearing; Case 2004-26: Request to rezone the properties located at 692 W. Hacldey Ave and 706 W.
Hacldey Ave. from R-1, Single Family Residential to either B-2, Convenience and Comparison
Business or B-4, General Business, by Doug Glomb
BACKGROUND
Applicant: Doug Glomb
Address/Location of Subject Property: 692 & 706 W. Hackley
CuITent Use: Two residential houses
Current Zoning: R-1, Single Family Residential
Proposed Zoning: B-2, Convenience and Compmison Business or B-4, General Business
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
I. The subject properties are located on Hackley Ave between Beidler St and Business - 31. CuITently
there are two residential homes on the prope1ties. The property is located directly east of the Crown
and Bridge Laboratory (dentist). To the South are residential uses and a muffler shop. Residential
uses are on all other sides.
2. The proposed use of this prope1ty is for a new Chalet House of Flowers. They are currently located
in the city at 2100 Herny Street. The owners are looking to expand the business.
3. The requirements for frontage and size are the same for B-2 as well as for 8-4 zoning Districts. The
minimum lot size is I 0,980 squm·e feet with 100 feet of frontage. 706 Hackley has 12,920 sqft and
692 Hackley has 6,460 sqft. Together they total to just under 20,000 sqft which is more than
adequate for these zoning districts.
4. Staff has offered up two zoning distiicts for discussion because of the nature of the area. The street is
busy, being a direct entrance from Business - 31. There are other B-4 Zoning classifications in the
near vicinity (the closest one is across Hackley). Staff is including the preambles for both districts
below:
ARTICLE XI - B-2 CONVENIENCE AND COMPARISON BUSINESS DISTRICTS
PREAMBLE
The B-2 Convenience and Comparison Business Districts are designed for the convenience and community
shopping needs of residents in the Muskegon Area, and they are intended to be located in planned groups
near the intersection of major thoroughfares. All business establishments shall be retail or service
establishments dealing directly with consumers, and all goods produced on the premises shall be sold at
retail on the premises where produced. All business, servicing or processing, except off-street parking or
loading, shall be conducted within a completely enclosed building, unless othe1wise provided by this
Ordinance and specifically approved by the City.
City of Muskegon Planning Commission- 7/15/04-
ARTICLE XIII - B-4 GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICTS
PREAMBLE
The B-4 General Business District is designed to provide for a wide variety of business activities including
automotive services and goods, and is generally incompatible with the uses in the B-1, B-2, and B-3
Business Districts. Placement along presently developed major traffic arteries prevents the conflict of traffic
and pedestrian movement since the General Business District is characterized by a minimum of pedeshian
flow. The B-4 General Business Dishicts have been located in areas designated on the adopted Land Use
Plan.
5. The B-4 district does allow the same uses as in a B-2 district. A big difference between the B-2 and
the B-4 classification is that the B-4 allows some automotive services as principal uses. The B-4
dish-ict allows more intense uses than the B-2 district.
6. The Future Land-Use Map shows the subject property as Rl and RT residential. The map also
shows across seaway and to the south of the property as commercial. The map shows what is
currently residential is slated for the future as residential.
7. The subject property is located in Sub-Area 6: Barclay Street Sub-Area:
♦ It is the goal of the Master Plan to retain the mixed-use character of Sub-Area 6 and to
demonstrate how varying land uses may co-exist, as well as compliment each other.
♦ The area lying between Henry Sh·eet and Seaway Drive is slowly becoming a solid core area of
commercial development. While some residential and industrial uses do exist, it is anticipated
they will ultimately be replaced by commercial facilities.
♦ Sub-Area issue: There is a lack of buffering between commercial and residential development.
♦ Sub-Area issue: Due to its location, the City may experience a demand for the expansion of
commercial development between Herny Street and Seaway Drive. This would necessitate the
removal of homes (located in the area between Hackley and Young Streets). The City has
invested considerable funds in this area for purposes of maintaining its residential character.
♦ Master Plan Recommendation: Implement, through zoning, controls to ensure adequate buffers
between commercial and residential development.
♦ Master Plan Recommendation: Complete the full commercial development of that area lying
between Henry Street, Laketon Avenue, Seaway Drive, and Shennan Boulevard.
8. Staff has received the following public comments:
♦ Mr. Derouin of 696 Hancock left a phone message saying : As far as he is concerned go ahead
and do it.
♦ Betty Sifuentes of 2231 Poliski called in on 7/9 to say she has lived here all her life and is
concerned about the junk and noise. She does not want to have to move. She does not want more
noise. She says her sister lives next door and does not want it either.

City of Muskcgon Planning Commission - 7/15/04
RECOMMENDATION
The future land use map shows these properties as residential, however the Master plan calls for the
development of this area as commercial. Either of these Zoning classifications would work for the proposed
business. The area already has B-4 in the vicinity. Staff is comfmtable with either zoning classification
although the B-2 would be of a lower intensity and may se1ve to buffer the residential units behind the
property from traffic and higher intensity uses. While the proposed zoning does not agree with Future Land
Use Map, this proposed zoning may be a positive for the area.
DELIBERATION
C1iteria-based questions typically asked duling a rezoning include:
I . \Vhat, 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
suffounding prope1ty.
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 swface or subswface water quality
d. The loss of valuable natural resources such as forest, wetland, historic sites, or wildlife
areas.

There are other B-4 Zoning classifications in the near vicinity (the closest one is across Hackley). TI1e commission members were

and is okay with a flower shop going in there, but opposes more noise. The future land use map shows these properties as
residential, however the Master plan calls for the development of this area as commercial. Either of these Zoning classifications
would work for the proposed business. The area already has B-4 in the vicinity. Staff is comfortable with either zoning

traffic and higher intensity uses. While the proposed zoning does not agree with Future Land Use Map, this proposed zoning may
be a positive for the area
B. Smithanived at4:09 p.m.
L. Spataro stated tl1at it is good to see local businesses expanding. He asked the applicant if they had looked at other properties that
have tl1e con-eel zoning already. D. Glomb stated tlrnt they liked the location. L. Spataro asked if the homes would be moved or
demolished. D. Glomb stated that they wouldn't be able to be moved due to the age of the homes. They will both be demolished
and they will build a 2500 sq. ft. building on the site. L. Spataro asked about sheltering tl1e business from tl1e neighboring
residential properties. D. Glomb stated that they would work with the Planning Commission and do whatever is needed.
A motion to close the public hearing was made by L. Spataro, supported by T. Harryman and unanin10usly approved.
T. Johnson stated that this would be a good transitional area. It is hard to imagine new housing going there. He would be okay with
a B-2 zoning district recommendation) but felt that B-4 would be too intense for the area. T. Hanyman agreed. T. Johnson asked if
there were any limitations to building size in the B-2 zoning district. B. Lazor stated that under a B-1 zoning district, there are
limitations, but not under a B-2. L. Spataro stated that he has some concerns with this, but felt if it were rezoned there should be
appropriate screening to the residential neighborhood. He could support a B-2 zoning. T. Johnson suggested having the site plan
go before the Planning Commission due to the fact the commission members had some concerns with screening, L. Spataro stated
that he would agree, but since the Planning Department is low on staff, he would be willing to allow the administration to view it
because the applicant and staff has heard the concerns of the Planning Commission. B. Mazade agreed. He felt that screening is
critical and that staff could review the site plan. T. Michalski felt that staff could approve tl1e site plan.
A motion that the request to rezone properties at 692 and 706 W. Hackley, from R-1, Single Family Residential to B-2,
Convenience and Comparison Business should be recommended for approval to the City Commission pursuant to the City of
Muskegon Zoning Ordinance, and the dete1mination of compliance with the intent of the City Master Land Use Plan and zoning
district intent, was made by B. Mazade, supported by T. Johnson and unanimously approved.

Resolution No. 2004-1 l(c)
Resolution At First Hearing Creating Special Assessment District
For Walnut St., Wilcox to Thompson
Location and Description of Properties to be Assessed:
See Exhibit A attached to this resolution
RECITALS:
I. A hearing has been held on January 27, 2004 at 5:30 o'clock p.m. at the City
Commission Chambers. Notice was given by mail and publication as required by
law.
2. That estimates of costs of the project, a feasibility report and valuation and benefit
information are on file with the City and have been reviewed for this hearing.
3. At the hearing held January 27, 2004, there were 24.09% objections by the owners of
the property in the district registered at the hearing either in writing received before or at
the hearing or by owners or agents present at the hearing, and the Commission has
considered the advisability of proceeding with the project.
FINDINGS:
I. The City Commission has examined the estimates of cost to construct the project
including all assessable expenses and determines them to be reasonable.
2. The City Commission has considered the value of the property to be assessed and the
value of the benefit to be received by each property proposed to be assessed in the district
after the improvements have been made. The City Commission determines that the
assessments of costs of the City project will enhance the value of the properties to be
assessed in an amount at least equivalent to the assessment and that the improvement
thereby constitutes a benefit to the property.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
I. The City Commission hereby declares a special assessment district to include the
property set forth in Exhibit A attached to this resolution.

Resolution At First Hearing Creating Special Assessment District
For TORRENT ST., LETART AVE. TO SHERMAN BLVD.
Location and Description of Properties to be Assessed:
See Exhibit A attached to this resolution
RECITALS:
I. A hearing has been held on January 27, 2004 at 5:30 o'clock p.m. at the City
Commission Chambers. Notice was given by mail and publication as required by
law.
2. That estimates of costs of the project, a feasibility report and valuation and benefit
information are on file with the City and have been reviewed for this hearing.
3. At the hearing held January 27, 2004, there were 24.91% objections by the owners of
the property in the district registered at the hearing either in writing received before or at
the hearing or by owners or agents present at the hearing, and the Commission has
considered the advisability of proceeding with the project.
FINDINGS:
I. The City Commission has examined the estimates of cost to construct the project
including all assessable expenses and determines them to be reasonable.
2. The City Commission has considered the value of the property to be assessed and the
value of the benefit to be received by each property proposed to be assessed in the district
after the improvements have been made. The City Commission determines that the
assessments of costs of the City project will enhance the value of the properties to be
assessed in an amount at least equivalent to the assessment and that the improvement
thereby constitutes a benefit to the property.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The City Commission hereby declares a special assessment district to include the
property set forth in Exhibit A attached to this resolution.
2. The City Commission determines to proceed with the improvements as set forth in the

project design, preparation of specifications and the bidding process. If appropriate and
if bonds are to be sold for the purposes of financing the improvements, the Finance
Department shall prepare plans for financing including submission of application to the
Michigan Department of Treasury and the beginning of bond proceedings.
3. The City Commission hereby appoints a Board of Assessors consisting of City
Commissioners Davis and Larson and the City Assessor who are hereby directed to
prepare an assessment roll. Assessments shall be made upon front foot basis.
4. Based on the City's Special Assessment policy and preliminary estimates it is expected
that approximately 15. 73% of the cost of the street improvement will be paid by special
assessments.
5. Upon submission of the special assessment roll, the City staff is hereby directed to notify
all owners and persons interested in properties to be assessed of the hearing at which the
City Commission will consider confirmation of the special assessment roll.

work to peers and art admirers in a relaxed social environment. The Museum has
offered the developer the opportunity to "showcase" the proposed development at the
"Salon" and survey those present as to their interest in the project/likelihood to explore
the project.

developers will have another opportunity to present the project to the artist community
