REPORT OF COMMITTEE

THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY met on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 to discuss
parking restrictions in the Westside Neighborhood. Letters were mailed to residents in
the area, bounded by Saginaw Street on the north, Jenison Avenue on the east,
Michigan Avenue on the south, and Stanley Street and the closed GM plant on the
west, inviting them to attend the public meeting, where comments from the residents
were heard. The Committee received letters,
e-mails, and phone calls along with citizen input at the meeting.

The Committee recommended lifting parking restrictions to allow on-street parking.


Based on the recommendation, the Transportation and Parking Office authorized the
Westside Neighborhood Area Parking time limits be lifted per the attached
memorandum from the Transportation Engineer, Andrew Kilpatrick.

Signed by:

Carol Wood, Chair


Eric Hewitt, Vice Chair
Jessica Yorko, Member
TO: Lansing City Council, Public Safety Committee
FROM: Andrew K. Kilpatrick, Transportation Engineer
DATE: June 25, 2010
SUBJECT: Westside Neighborhood Area Parking Time Limit Removals

The Transportation and Parking Office is proposing to remove all time limit parking
restrictions in the area bounded by Saginaw Street on the north, Jenison Avenue on the
east, Michigan Avenue on the south and Stanley Street/ GM property on the west. The
current time limit restrictions are listed below.

Street From To Side Restriction Width


N. Genesee Stanley Verlinden North 2 Hour 26'
N. Genesee Verlinden Cawood Both 1 Hour 26'
Drexel Stanley Durant Both 1 Hour 26'
Drexel Verlinden Fulton Both 1 Hour 26'
Osborn Verlinden Fulton North 1 Hour 26'
S. Genesee Memphis Osborn Both 1 Hour 25'
Shiawassee Memphis Inverness North 2 Hour 30'
Inverness Verlinden Forbes North 2 Hour 30'
Ottawa Spencer Forbes South 1 Hour 30'
Forbes Inverness Ottawa South 1 Hour 30'
Durant Saginaw Osborn West 2 Hour 26'
Verlinden Saginaw N. Genesee West 1 Hour 40'
Verlinden Osborn Inverness West 1 Hour 40'
Memphis Genesee Shiawassee West 1 Hour 26'
Spencer Forbes Ottawa West 1 Hour 30'

Following the removal of the time limit signs in this area, a 90 day trial period will be
conducted to determine if the removal of the time limits is creating any issues. Based on
this trial period, the traffic engineering staff will recommend the permanent removal of the
time limits, or modifications to parking restrictions if traffic operational issues were observed
during the evaluation period. Although no issues are anticipated, high parking density on
streets narrower than approximately 28 feet could indicate a need to restrict parking on one
side of the street.

Once the evaluation of the time limit removal is completed, the Transportation and Parking
Office will determine if other changes to the existing parking restrictions may be needed.
This could consist of the removal of existing restrictions, implementation of daytime
restrictions, or implementation of full day restrictions on one side of the street.

The expected time for the removal of the existing time limit signs is by the end of July, 2010.
The 90 day evaluation period would begin immediately following the removal of the signs.

Members of the Lansing City Council

RE: Common Ground Tickets

Dear Mayor Bernero and Members of the Lansing City Council:

It is the understanding of the Lansing Ethics Board that for some number of years it has been the
practice for the organization producing the Common Ground Music Festival event to offer
complimentary tickets to elected City officers and select City employees. This letter is a response to
that practice on behalf of the Lansing Board of Ethics.

With the 2009 filings with the Board of Statements of Financial Interest, the Board became aware that
the value of a complete Common Ground ticket package could have a market value of as much as
$1,680. As a result of this disclosure; the Ethics Board in 2009 sent a letter to those who disclosed the
gift that they "should be mindful of the impression receipt of a gift with such a high dollar value could
beget."

Realizing that the Common Ground event is scheduled this year for July 12 through July 18, the Ethics
Board again discussed the gifts of Common Ground event packages and its concerns because of the
magnitude of the market value of the gifts and the adverse assumption of a quid pro quo that some
members of the public may reach regardless of the truth of that perception.

The Ethics Board would again ask that those of you who are offered tickets be sensitive to and aware
of the adverse impression gifts of this magnitude create and that the impression will persist despite the
fact that the acceptance of the tickets may not be a technical violation of the City's Ethics Ordinance
mandates.

Thank you for your consideration.

RE: Z-3-2010, 2925 & 2935 N. East Street


Rezoning from "F" Commercial District to "E-1" Apartment Shop District

Dear Mayor Bernero:

The Lansing Planning Board, at a special meeting held on June 23, 2010, voted (3-0) to recommend approval of
the request by Parviz Soroughian to rezone the property at 2925 & 2935 N. East Street from "F" Commercial
district to "E-1" Apartment Shop district. The buildings at 2925 & 2935 N. East Street were constructed in
2000. Both buildings are identical to each other, each contain 1,497 square feet of floor area and are located on
the same parcel of land. These were the first energy efficient buildings constructed in the City of Lansing.
However, because of the location and unique design, the owner of the buildings has not been able to find any
tenants. The purpose of the rezoning is to allow the buildings to be used either exclusively for residential, light
commercial or office use or for any combination of these uses. The existing "F" Commercial district does not
permit a building to be used entirely for residential purposes.

The Planning Board found, based on testimony, evidence and the staff report, that the proposed rezoning will
have no negative impacts on traffic, the environment or future patterns of development in the area. In addition,
the proposed zoning will bring the property further into compliance with the residential land use pattern being
advanced in the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan. Furthermore, the proposed zoning actually represents a
down zoning of the property which will make the future use(s) of the buildings more compatible with the
surrounding residential area.

No comments were received at the Planning Board public hearing held on June 15, 2010.

Following your review of this matter, please refer it to the City Council for its consideration.

Sincerely,,

William C. Rieske, Secretary

Background Information

The buildings at 2925 & 2935 N. East Street were constructed in 2000. Both buildings are

ANALYSIS

COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING LAND USE

The property directly adjoins single family residential uses to the south and west. The uses
allowed under the "E-1" Apartment Shop district are far less intensive than the uses allowed
under the "F" Commercial district. Therefore, the proposed zoning will make the future use(s) of
the site more compatible with the adjoining residential uses. For comparison purposes, a
complete list of the uses permitted in the "F" Commercial and "E-l" Apartment Shop district is
attached to this report.

COMPLIANCE WITH MASTER PLAN

The Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property for residential land use.
The existing "F" Commercial zoning does not permit exclusive use of a building for residential
purposes, however, the proposed "E-l" Apartment Shop zoning would allow the building to be
used entirely for one or more residential units. Therefore, the proposed zoning will actually
bring the property further into compliance with the land use pattern being advanced in the master
plan.

IMPACT ON VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC

The traffic from the site will utilize the driveways on Howe Street and N. East Street. Although
Howe Street is a local road, the driveway is located very close to N. East Street and therefore,
traffic should not become a burden to the residential neighborhood to the west. N. East Street is
designated as a principal arterial that is designed to carry a high volume of traffic. The traffic
generated by the uses allowed under the "E-1" Apartment Shop district will not have any
negative impacts on the transportation system in the area. In fact, the uses allowed under this
district will generate less traffic than many of any use(s) that could potentially occupy the
buildings under the current zoning.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

No negative environmental impacts are anticipated to result from the proposed rezoning. The
types of uses permitted in the "E-1" Local Shopping district are generally low impact uses that
do not generate much traffic, noise and other potential nuisances. In terms of the physical
environment, no changes to the site are proposed.

IMPACT ON FUTURE PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT

The proposed rezoning will have no impact on future patterns of development in the area.
Although the proposed "E-l" Apartment Shop zoning will create a "spot zone", there are
numerous other instances of spot zoning already in the area. Furthermore, it is very rare that a
Z-3-2010 2925 & 2935 N. East Street Page 4

property owner makes a request to down zone a parcel of land. The only reason that this
property owner is making that request is to allow the buildings to be used exclusively for
residential purposes, if that is the only way to make use of the buildings which have sat vacant
for almost 10 years. It is unlikely that other property owners in the area would make a similar
request, however, if they did, it would also be looked upon favorably since it reduces, rather than
intensifies the zoning and the uses and activities permitted therein.

SUMMARY

This is a request by Parviz Soroushian, DPD, Inc. to rezone the property at 2925 & 2935 N. East
Street, more specifically described as:

LOT 1 EXC S 2.25 FT, LOT 2, LOT 3 EXC E 13.58 FT, ALSO E 10 FT LOT 78;
SUPERVISOR'S PLAT OF COMMUNITY HOME SITES

from "F" Commercial District to "E-1" Apartment Shop District. The purpose of the rezoning is
to permit the building at this location to be used for a combination of residential, light
commercial and office uses.

The proposed rezoning will have no negative impacts on traffic, the environment or future
patterns of development. In addition, the proposed zoning will bring the property further into
compliance with the residential land use designation contained in the Northeast Area
Comprehensive Plan. Although the rezoning. is a "spot zone", there are numerous other instances
of spot zoning in the area. Furthermore, the proposed zoning actually represents a down zoning
of the property which will make the future use(s) of the buildings more compatible with the
surrounding residential area.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Z-4-10 be approved to rezone the property at 2925 and 2935 N. East
Street from "F" Commercial District to "E-1" Apartment Shop District based on the findings of
fact as outlined in this staff report.

Respectfully Submitted,

Susan Stachowiak

ANALYSIS

Section 1282.03(f)(1)-(2) sets forth the criteria which must be used to evaluate a Special Land Use
permit request. The criteria and evaluation are as follows.

1. Is the proposed special land use designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a
manner harmonious with the character of adjacent property and the surrounding area?

The proposed site design is consistent with the layout of other properties along Bardaville
Street. Furthermore, churches are typically in use at times that do not conflict with peak
hours for other businesses and activities are usually confined to indoors. The greatest
potential impact on its harmony with the surrounding neighborhood could be the provision
of adequate parking so as to not burden the area with increased on-street parking or excessive
traffic. If approved, the special land use permit should be conditioned upon the seating
capacity being limited to the amount of available on-site parking or parking that can be leased
within 300 feet of the site. The only other issue may be the parking lot behind the building.
Since this area is directly adjacent to a residential use, landscaping will be required to soften
the appearance of the parking lot and to mitigate any negative effects from vehicle lights
shining into windows.

2. WM the proposed special land use change the essential character of the surrounding
area?
SLU-4-2010 Bardaville Street Page 3

The proposed site is within an area that contains a variety of land uses including multiple
family residential, office and commercial. Given the diverse land use pattern that already
exists, a church will not change the essential character of the area. In fact, the church will fit
in nicely with the child care center to the north, the office building to the south and the
multiple family residential uses to the east and west. The church will be quiet, there will be
no heavy traffic from delivery trucks and the activities will generally be confined to evening
and weekends when the offices and child care centers are not open. Thus, it will not add
significantly to the traffic volumes that already exist on Bardaville Street during the weekdays
when most of these uses on this street are in full operation.

3. Will the proposed special land use interfere with the enjoyment of adjacent
property?

The primary concern with churches in terms of interfering with the enjoyment of adjacent
properties is the potential conflicts with liquor licenses. By state law, a church has an
opportunity to object to all new liquor licenses within 500 feet of the church property. In this
case, there are several commercially zoned properties within 500 feet of the subject property.
Since this is a predominately commercial district, the applicant should agree, in writing, that
it will not object to the issuance of liquor licenses in the area.

4. Will the proposed special land use represent an improvement to the use or character
of property under consideration and the surrounding area in general, and will the use
be in keeping with the natural environment of the lot?

Staff believes that the proposed church will not negatively effect the surrounding area which
is characterized by a mix of multiple family residential, office and light commercial uses. The
site is zoned "F" Commercial which allows for retail, office, restaurant, gas station,
automobile repair and automobile sales uses, by right. Churches are generally far less
intensivethan most of these uses and will therefore, have a lower impact on the surrounding
residential and offices uses and on the child care center to the north. A retail store, restaurant
or any type of automobile service establishment wouldbe completely out of character with
the adjoining land uses as these uses would be far more noisy and would generate a much
higher volume of traffic than the proposed church.

5. Will the proposed special land use be hazardous to adjacent property or involve uses,
activities, materials or equipment which are detrimental to the health, safety or welfare
of persons or property through the excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, odor,
fumes or glare?

The proposed church will not generate any hazardous conditions.

6. Will the proposed special land use be adequately served by essential public facilities and
services, or is it demonstrated that the person responsible for the proposed special land
use is able to continually provide adequately for the services and facilities deemed
essential to the special land use under consideration ?
SLU-4-2010 Bardaville Street Page 4

No negative comments have been received from any of the reviewing departments or
agencies. However, the project, including the utility details, will have to be reviewed through
the site plan review process.

7. Will the proposed special land use place demand on public services and facilities in
excess of current capacity?

The proposed special land use is not expected to increase the demand on public services and
facilities in excess of current capacity.

8. Is the proposed special land use consistent with the intent and purpose of this Zoning
Code and the objectives of any currently adopted Comprehensive Plan?

The proposed church is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance and
the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan designates the subject
property for office use and the Zoning Ordinance designates the property for commercial use.
Churches are permitted in all zoning districts, provided City Council approves an SLU which
is evaluated based on the nine criteria contained in the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed
church will be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance provided it has sufficient parking for the
200 member congregation.

9. Will the proposed special land use meet the dimensional requirements of the district in
which the property is located?

The proposed site complies with all setback and parking lot layout requirements. The
required number of parking spaces for a church with a seating capacity of 200 is the only
dimensional issue that needs to be addressed. 67 parking spaces are required and 42 are
shown on the site plan. The applicant has 2 options: (1) Obtain a written lease agreement
from a property owner within 300 feet of the site for use of 25 additional parking spaces; or
(2) reduce the seating capacity to 126.

The applicant should be advised that landscaping will be required in the 8 foot buffer strip
along the front and rear property lines. The landscaping must consist of a row of shrubs and
trees at a ratio of 1 tree for each 30 lineal feet of buffer area and 5 shrubs for each 20 lineal
feet of buffer area. The trees must have a minimum starting size of 2 caliper inches. Shrubs
must have a minimum size of 24 inches in height and spread at the time of planting.

SUMMARY

This is a request by Woodside E & D, LLC for a special land use permit to construct a church with
associated site improvements on the vacant property located between 3310 and 3320 Bardaville
Street. The subject property is zoned "F" Commercial, which district permits churches, if a Special
Land Use permit is approved by the Lansing City Council.

Based on the findings contained in this staff report, the proposal complies with all of the criteria of
Section 1282.03(f)(1)-(9) of the Zoning Code for evaluating Special Land Use permits.
SLU-4-2010 Bardaville Street Page 5

1. The proposed Special Land Use will be harmonious with the character of adjacent properties
and surrounding uses.

properties.
4. The proposed Special Land Use does represent an improvement to the lot as it currently
exists.
5. The proposed Special Land Use will not be hazardous to adjacent properties.
6. The proposed Special Land Use can be adequately served by public services and utilities.

Code and the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plans.
9. The proposed Special Land Use will comply with the dimensional requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.

3. The seating capacity of the building is limited to the amount of on-site parking or
parking that can be leased within 300 feet of the site.

RE: SLU-5-2010, 230 Bingham Street


Special Land Use Permit - Church

Dear Mayor Bernero:

The Lansing Planning Board, at a special meeting held on June 23, 2010, voted (3-0) to recommend approval of the
request by Reformed Church of America, Classis South Grand Rapids, Blacks oil Church to utilize the first floor of
the building at 230 Bingham Street for a church. The second floor of the building contains two residential units. The
subject property is zoned "F" Commercial district. Churches are permitted in the "F" Comatercial district, if a
Special Land Use permit is approved by the Lansing City Council.

Section 1250.04(b) of the Zoning Ordinance requires that churches in the "C" Residential district must be located on
a collector, principal or minor arterial and must be located on a lot that is at least 2 acres in size. In addition, Section
1284.13(b)(1) requires one parking space for each 3 seats in the church sanctuary. Based on the proposed seating
capacity, 25 parking spaces will be required. The property at 230 Bingham St. is located on a local road, is .18 acres
in size and has no on-site parking spaces that will be available for the church. The Zoning Board of Appeals, at it's
May 13, 2010 meeting, approved variances to these requirements.

The Planning Board found, based on testimony, evidence and the staff report, that the proposed special land use
complies with all of the criteria established by Section 1282.02(f)(1-9) of the Zoning Ordinance for granting special
land use permits. Based upon this finding, the Planning Board recommended approval of SLU-5-2010.

At the Planning Board public hearing held on June 15, 2010, the applicant spoke in favor of his request and no other
comments were received. Letters of support from the Association for the Bingham Community and from the Allen
Neighborhood Center are attached.

Following your review of this matter, please refer it to the City Council for its consideration.

Sincerely,

To whom it may concern:

My name is Denise Kelley and I am the president of the Association for the Bingham
Community (ABC). The building at 230 Bingham Street that Jeremy Dowsett and the Reformed
Church of America (Blacksoil Church) would like to have their church is inside our
neighborhood. The building, or FireHouse as we call it, is a good building that has sat empty for
the last year or so. It has historical significance in the city as the last pre- modem firehouse.

ABC's board has met with Jeremy Dowsett to learn more about his church's plans for the
building. As you can imagine, we were very concerned about the lack of available parking. We
also had to learn more about what this particular church does and what they stand for. Since they
have started this purchase process, a few members of the congregation have and are actively
looking to move into the ABC neighborhood, This is a small boost to our housing stock in this
neighborhood.

It was decided after a good, productive conversation to support this request. We have stated to
Mr. Dowsett that we would like to see a couple things happen that he has agreed to. One: A
written agreement with a parking lot near by so that the street is not overloaded with cars each
Saturday evening when they meet. Blacksoil has entered into an agreement with a larger church
down the block to use their parking lot. Mr. Dowsett and his leaders have agreed to very strongly
encourage their congregation to park in that lot. Two: He and his church needs to maintain the
open line of communication that we have started at this meeting. (I have attended a meeting of
his church's leaders to introduce myself to them.) So far this has been going well.

In conclusion, the Association for the Bingham Community board supports this planning request
for Jeremy Dowsett and the Reformed Church of America (Blacksoil Church). We look forward
to welcoming Blacksoil into the neighborhood and having a good relationship with them.

June 8, 2010
To: Members of the City of Lansing Planning Board
I am writing in support of the Special Use Permit requested by Black Soil Church for use of
former Firehouse #4 at 200 Bingham Street as a church. During its May 24 th meeting, the Allen
Neighborhood Center Board of Directors had an extensive conversation about issues of concern
(parking) and possibilities (increase number of young Black Soil families moving into immediate
neighborhood, improvement of an historic firehouse, etc.). The Board then unanimously voted
to endorse the project.
We are particularly impressed by the active involvement of Black Soil members in community
improvement initiatives. Over the last several years, Black Soil members have:
• started a neighborhood organization, called Regent Oaks (the most active resident-driven
organization between E. Kalamazoo and 496), demonstrating an awareness of the importance
of bringing neighbors together to work on housing, safety, and beautification;
• hosted park clean-ups in Hunter Park and Regent Park;
• provided assistance to neighborhood seniors;
• volunteered extensively with Allen Neighborhood Center projects, including the Allen St.
Farmers Market, the Hunter Park GardenHouse, and the ANC Housing Caucus.
The Church has a social mission that centers on community improvement and revitalization, and
the impact of their activities in this area of the Eastside have been exceptionally positive. We
believe that the entire neighborhood will benefit from Black Soil's presence in old Firehouse #4,
with the most immediate area receiving the greatest benefit.
If you have questions or concerns or require additional information, please don't hesitate to
email me at joann@allenneighborhoodcenter.org or call me at 517-999-3912 (direct dial).
Sincerely,

Joan Nelson, Director

SPECIFIC INFORMATION

This is a request by Reformed Church of America, Classis South Grand Rapids, Black Soil Church,

Residential, which district permits churches, if a Special Land Use permit is approved by the Lansing
City Council.
SLU-5-2010 230 Bingham Street Page 2

Background Information

The building at 230 Bingham Street is 2 stories in height, contains 4,613 square feet and was
constructed in 1904. Once the fire department vacated the building, it was used as a single family
residence. In 1984 a special land use permit was approved to permit the use of the ground floor for
a health and fitness studio and the upper floor for 2 residential apartments. Also in 1984, the Board
of Zoning Appeals approved a variance to the parking requirements for theses uses.

In 1995, a special land use permit was approved to allow a child care center in the building and a
variance was approved to the parking requirement for this use. The child care center operated at this
location until approximately 2008. Since that time, the building has remained vacant except for the2
residential units on the second floor which are currently occupied.

Section 1250.04(b) of the Zoning Code states that churches in the "C" Residential district must be
located on a collector, principal or minor arterial and must be located on a lot that is at least 2 acres
in size. In addition, Section 1284.13(b)(1) requires one parking space for each 3 seats in the church
sanctuary. Based on the proposed seating capacity, 25 parking spaces will be required. The property
at 230 Bingham St. is located on a local road, is .18 acres in size and has no on-site parking spaces
that will be available for the church. The Zoning Board of Appeals, at it's May 13, 2010 meeting,
approved variances to these requirements.

ANALYSIS

Section 1282.03(f)(1)-(2) sets forth the criteria which must be used to evaluate a Special Land Use
permit request. The criteria and evaluation are as follows.

1. Is the proposed special land use designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a
manner harmonious with the character of adjacent property and the surrounding area?

The church will have a very small membership and will focus its outreach efforts on the
surrounding neighborhood. This will help to keep vehicular traffic to a minimum as the
majority of the membership will hopefully walk, rather than drive to the church. With respect
to parking, the concern is that traffic associated with the church will infringe on the rights of
neighborhood residents by monopolizing on-street parking in the area. There are
approximately 19 on-street parking spaces directly adjacent to the subject. The applicant is
seeking a joint parking agreement with Bingham Elementary School andlor the Pilgrim
Congregational Church, both of which are located one block north of the subject property.
Such an agreement will help to minimize any negative impacts on the neighborhood with
regard to overuse of on-street parking.

The use will be harmonious with the surrounding residential area, as long as the focus of the
church is on the immediate neighborhood rather than reaching out to a larger geographic area
of the city. Small neighborhood churches can be a very valuable part of healthy urban
environment. This church, in particular, has a history of being a very stabilizing force in the
Eastside neighborhoods of Lansing. As long as the traffic associated with the church is kept
to an absolute minimum, the effects of the proposed church in this area should be positive.

2. Will the proposed special land use change the essential character of the surrounding
area?

The site contains a fire station building and therefore, by its very nature, it is difficult to find
an appropriate use of the building, especially since it contains 4,613 square feet of floor area.
Based on the residential zoning and relatively small lot size, the only use that is permitted by
right at this location is a duplex. The building currently has two residential units on the
second floor. The first floor, however, is vacant. Given the design and size of the building
at 230 Bingham, a duplex does not seem like a viable use of the entire building. Therefore,
some type of nonresidential or quasi-residential use needs to be considered for the first floor.
The previous use of the building for a child care center proved to be a compatible use in this
residential neighborhood. The child care center, drew its primary customer base from the
surrounding neighborhood and therefore, did not generate a burdensome amount of traffic
in the area. Likewise, the current proposal is for a "neighborhood church", which will also
be intended to draw is parishioners from the surrounding neighborhood.
SLU-5-2010 230 Bingham Street Page 4

Will the proposed


3. special land use interfere with the enjoyment of adjacent
property?

The primary concern with churches in terms of interfering with the enjoyment of adjacent
properties is the potential conflicts with liquor licenses. By state law, a church has an
opportunity to object to all new liquor licenses within 500 feet of the church property. In this
case, there are no commercially zoned properties within 500 feet of the subject property.

4. Will the proposed special land use represent an improvement to the use or character
of property under consideration and the surrounding area in general, and will the use
be in keeping with the natural environment of the lot?

The subject property contains an existing building that was constructed for non-residential
purposes. The purpose of the special land use permit and the variances that have already been
approved is to accommodate a use for the building that will not be detrimental to the
surrounding area. The alternative is to allow the first floor of the building to remain vacant,
which will detract rather than enhance the neighborhood in which it is located.

With regard to the natural environment of the lot, no changes are proposed for the site. There
are two small paved areas on the site, each of which can accommodate 2 parking spaces.
These parking spaces are for use by the residents of the two upper floor apartments. The
majority of the site is an unimproved area that was used as an outdoor play area for the child
care center that previously occupied the building. While the applicant could pave some of this
area to provide additional on-site parking, doing so would not only be detrimental to the
physical environment, but could also have a negative impact on the privacy and enjoyment of
adjoining properties.

5. Will the proposed special land use be hazardous to adjacent property or involve uses,
activities, materials or equipment which are detrimental to the health, safety or welfare
of persons or property through the excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, odor,
fumes or glare?

As long as the traffic and on-street parking is kept to a minimum, no nuisances will be
generated by granting the proposed variances.

6. Will the proposed specialland use b e adequately served by essential public facilities and
services, or is it demonstrated that the person responsible for the proposed specialland
use is able to continually provide adequately for the services and facilities deemed
essential to the special land use under consideration ?

The subject property is currently served by all necessary public services and utilities. No
negative comments have been received from any of the reviewing departments or agencies.
Inspections may be necessary to determine if the structure complies with current building
code and fire code requirements for an assembly use.
SLU-5-2010 230 Bingham Street Page 5

Will
7. the proposed special land use place demand on public services and facilities in
excess of current capacity?

The proposed special land use is not expected to increase the demand on public services and
facilities in excess of current capacity.

Is the proposed
8. special land use consistent with the intent and purpose of this Zoning
Code and the objectives of any currently adopted Comprehensive Plan?

The proposed church is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance and
the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinance
both designate the subject property for residential use. Churches are permitted in residential
districts, subject to obtaining a special land use permit, because they are considered
compatible uses in residential neighborhoods. The reason that churches are considered
compatible with residential uses is that they are quiet, the majority of the traffic is on
weekends and there is no heavy truck traffic associated with their use. In this case in
particular, the church will concentrate its efforts on strengthening the surrounding
neighborhood. Blacksoil church has been very active in the community, even though it has
not had a permanent home in the City of Lansing. It has partnered with the Allen
Neighborhood Center on several clean-up projects, home improvement projects, activities in
the parks, etc., on the east side of Lansing. The church will continue to be an active and
stabilizing force in this area.

Will the proposed


9. special land use meet the dimensional requirements of the district in
which the property is located?

There are no physical changes proposed for the exterior of the building or the site at 230
Bingham Street. Section 1284.13(b)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance requires 1 parking space for
each 3 seats in the main sanctuary. Since the applicant would like to have seating for 75
people in the sanctuary, 25 parking spaces are required. Section 1250.04(b) of the Zoning
Ordinance states that churches in the "C" Residential district must be located on a collector,
principal or minor arterial and must be located on a lot that is at least 2 acres in size. The
property at 230 Bingham Street is located on a local road and is .18 acres in size. The Zoning
Board of Appeals, at it's May 13, 2010 meeting, approved variances to all of these
requirements.

SUMMARY

This is a request by Reformed Church of America, Classis South Grand Rapids, Black Soil Church,
to utilize the building at 230 Bingham Street for a church. The subject property is zoned "C"
Residential, which district permits churches, if a Special Land Use permit is approved by the Lansing
City Council.

2. The proposed Special Land Use will not change the essential character of the surrounding
properties.

properties.

Code and the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plans.
9. The proposed Special Land Use will comply with the dimensional requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.

Hi Jeremy,

There should be an official notification coming from the Facilities team, but at last
night's council meeting we approved Blacksoil's use of Pilgrim's parking lot for
Saturday night services. They wanted to offer a six-month agreement, with the idea
that both parties could revisit at the end of that and make any necessary changes.
A few other things they were asking about:
They want to make sure they have a single contact for any issues that might arise.
Would that be you?
The facilities team leader was concerned about "drift," and worried that it would
eventually turn into an overnight parking situation. So they were wondering about
ideas to keep that from happening - maybe a parking sticker they'd give to the
Blacksoil folk, or something like that.
Since I've been here (three years), we haven't had anything at Pilgrim on a Saturday
night, but they wanted to reserve the right to have the parking lot back if needed for
a special event.

All in all, I thought it was pretty good news. Hopefully that helps at the hearing
that's coming up. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do - I'm excited
about you guys getting your own place, and excited about the possibility of having
you become a stronger presence in the neighborhood. Thanks for all you do.

Blessings,
Brandon

Please allow this to serve as an initial contract that Wexford Montessori Magnet School
of Lansing, MI is considering your package of two moonwalks, 1 three lane bungee run,
dunk tank, snow cones, cotton candy, 8-9 passenger train, insurance, and the man power
to maintain it all, with the exception of us supplying a designated person for the dunk

This initial contract is sent to you to try to hold the date of August 7t ', 2010 for the New

activities for the neighborhood event.

Sports Program
3705 W. Jolly Rd.
Lansing Michigan 48911

Dear Lansing City council members

I'm writing this letter on behalf of our non profit #3813120600 the Lansing Boy's and
Girl's sports program. This program was started on June 3, 1978 to help kids in our
community play the sport they love but couldn't play unless someone was there to help
them get started. In the past with your support we have been able to sustain and maintain
the expenditures. This year we had our biggest turnout of youth in our community; this is
great because this is what we want. We want our youth to get out and be involved in
activities like this when they have so much free time on their hands. However because of
this great turnout our expenditures have doubled for the uniforms, equipment and entry
fees. We are asking you our City Council to reconsider and help us with the entry fees for
our youth in this program. The following balance of 3,100.00 is owed to the city of
Lansing Parks and Recreation.

If I may be of further assistance to you please call me at 517-272-1468

Sincerely,

Alfonso Salas

NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESER

June 11,2010

Old Town Commercial Association


Ms. Brittney Hoszkiw
1232 Turner St.
Lansing, MI. 48906

Dear Ms. Hoszkiw,

Old Town Lansing comprises the capitol city's largest concentration of historic commercial
buildings. The area was developed in 1843, with the construction of the first north Lansing dam
and a road that intersected with the Grand River, appropriately named Grand River Road. From
these beginnings, Old Town grew into a vibrant commercial district with the construction of
numerous brick and stone-walled buildings dating from the 1870s to 1920s. The character of
this historic community is still prominently reflected in these buildings and its association with
its natural surroundings, particularly the Grand River. It is for these reasons Old Town was
designated as a National Register District in 1976.

Because Old Town commercial district, Grand River Avenue and the Grand River have been
historically intertwined for many years, the proposed name change of Grand River Avenue
would be a confusing action for the property owners, local residents and visitors. This
community has grown and thrived with this river and street name, and renaming it would
potentially endanger its strong identity, creating confusion with the street directions rather
than remedying it. In addition, this change could ultimately affect the economic destiny of the
60 property owners in the district, who have invested their money, energy and efforts into
making Old Town the vibrant commercial district it is today.

Another alternative would be to commemorate Cesar E. Chavez's humanitarian efforts with a


sign topper, which has been used in Chicago to honor important residents and has been
tremendously successful. He could also be memorialized with a historical state marker. State
historical markers help sensitize residents and visitors to the fact that the marked place is
important and should be preserved. A marker could be appropriately placed at a site where he
conducted meetings, presented a speech or provided inspiration and guidance to local citizens.
Michigan Historic Preservation Network supports Old Town Commercial Association in their
efforts to preserve Grand River Avenue, and preserve the legacy of Cesar E. Chavez with a more
informative and appropriate memorial.

Sincerely,

Nan Taylor

Dear City Council Members & Memorial Review Board,

I am signing this letter to let you know I support the name change of
Grand River Avenue to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue (commencing at
Oakland Avenue and ending at Pine Street).

It is important to honor a man who has done so much for so many.


His contribution to control toxic pesticides in our food production
continues to help keep our foods safe to eat. By co-founding the
United Farm Workers union it gave farm laborers a decent wage and
improved living conditions. Cesar E. Chavez was the recipient of the
Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Civil Rights leader and a United
States Naval Veteran.

If the name is changed I feel it would help the neighborhood become


stronger, revitalized and more unified.

Michigan Bureau of Elections


Complaints
430 W. Allegan
Lansing, MI 48933

Dear Complaint Unit:

As a registered voter in the City of Lansing, I hereby file this formal complaint against the City,' of La, ing for
putting an illegal millage renewal on the August 3 primary ballot. Voters are being asked to approe 1 mill for
a Parks Millage. Even though it is labeled as a "renewal," it truly is not.

Since its inception in 1990, the Parks Millage was to be used exclusively for the construction and rehabilitation
of parks and,recreation facilities. In other words, capital improvements were the intent of the original Parks
Millage. According to the " Fact Sheet for Proposal 1 for the Park Development Millage on Aug. 7, 1990 "
(Exhibit "A"), these funds were never to be used for general fund expenditures such as salaries, operations,
routine maintenance and administrative costs. That's pretty much the way things went as the millage got
renewed every 5 years. However, according to the City Internal Auditor's report of March 23, 2010 (Exhibit
"B"), the City used $320,944 of millage funds in 2006 for these ineligible expenses; $1,758,882 of millage
funds in 2007; $1,235,405 in 2008; $1,267,547 in 2009; and $1,320,100 in 2010. Also, the City is proposing to
use $1,204,000 of almost $2.4 million of Parks Millage funds for these general fund expenditures in 2011 if this
so-called renewal passes (Exhibit "C"). Heaven only knows how the City plans to spend Parks Millage money
from 2011-2015 if this passes on August 3.

City Hall is illegally using Parks Millage money to help balance its general fund budget. This so-called renewal
violates the intent and spirit and therefore the letter of the law or mutual understanding of the original
millage that was passed in 1990. This is not a RENEWAL. It ' s nothing more than the old bait and switch, a shell
game and the deliberate duping of voters and fleecing of taxpayers.

Is this open, honest and transparent government? I think not. This very issue was hotly debated at the May 24,
2010 City Council meeting, when the Council passed the resolution to put this issue on the August ballot
(Exhibit "D"). Please note that even though ballot language from 1990 and 2010 is very similar, how the City
proposes to spend these funds has totally changed, thereby nullifying the concept of a renewal. Also, it is my
understanding that another Lansing citizen recently sent an audio copy of that meeting to you with her formal
complaint. Please note that I have a DVD of that meeting if you want to review it.

At that May 24 meeting two Council members voted against the ballot language, because they were aware of
the City's duplicitous intentions and were unclear as to exactly how the City plans to use these millage funds.
It is indeed unfortunate that Mayor Virg Bernero, six City Council members, City Clerk Chris Swope and City
Attorney Brigham Smith have endorsed this scam of a millage and pig-in-a-poke. They all know better, but
they don't care. Therefore, I ask that you look into this matter and do whatever is within your power to stop
this unethical, misleading and bogus ballot proposal.

Your timely and complete cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you
soon. If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to contact me at (517) 484-1171 or via
email atjohnlpollard@comcast.net .

FACT SHEET for Proposal "I'


Park Development Millage
on the August 7, 1990 Ballot

PROPOSED 1 MILL FOR PARK REHABILITATION AND DEVELOPMENT 1991-95

The proposed one mill will provide funds to enable the renovation and
development of many of the Lansing park facilities. This millage wallow for
the continuation of the improvements which began with the passage of the 1985
zoo bond issue which will expire June of 1990. The approved millage will
provide for not less than $7 million in park improvements over the next five
years.

The Park Board, Mayor, and City Council in May 1990 approved the new Five
Year Master Plan 1990-1994 for the Parks and Recreation Department. As part
of this Master Plan an immediate need for park rehabilitation and development
was determined. The approval of this mi willprov ide the funding to
enable the completion of the identified project needs.

Key areas which require immediate attention include:


*Neighborhood parks: play equipment, basketball & tennis courts
*Potter Park and Zoo including animal exhibits and restrooms
*Continued renovation of the City Market
*Rehabilitation of Fenner Arboretum
*Improvements to athletic facilities -
*Extension of the River Trail
*Renovation of the Turner-Dodge and Scott historic- buildings
*South`end'TCommunity Center ^^
*Treeplantings within park`s'"'"
*Renovation and expansion of the Washington Park Ice Arena
*Renovation of Moores Park including restrooms
*Handicapner ,^ access to many facilities as part of renovations
*Improvements to Municipal, Davis, and Westside ball diamonds

If the millage is not approved, many of the aging facilities may have to close
if needed major renovations cannot be completed due to deterioration and unsafe
conditions. Handicapper accessibility is an important goal of the planned
millage improvements and will be incorporated into the ---proposed facilit
renovation and development. Many of the proposed projects will help reduce
operating/maintenance costs through , the : re
uct"ien.., in . . ataff timerequire r or
mainenance and the installation of more efficient _eatgpment

A list of projects is included in this Fact Sheet, but it is not intended to be


an inclusive list. Flexibility is intended- to insure that over the five years
major parks and recreation priorities can be met and grant opportunities can
be realized. The list represents a commitment by the Parks and Recreation
Department to meet the needs and interests of the residents.

The project list also allows for flexibility to allow for the ability
to take advantage of currently' unknown grant funding sources, and allow for
funding of emergency projects should they occur.

Possible match sources of funds have not been identified for 1995-96 projects
due to the uncertainty which exists regarding the types of old and new funding
sources which might be available.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


LANSING PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
AUGUST 7,1990 MILLAGE ISSUE

1. WHAT FACILITIES ARE THE LANSING PARKS AND RECREATION


DEPARTMENT RESPONSIBLE FOR? 105 PARK SITES, 1700 ACRES AND 85
BUILDINGS IN LANSING.
The Parks and Recreation Department cares for approximately 105 different park
sites. In addition, the Potter Park Zoo is operated by the Department, as well
as the Fenner Arboretum; the Turner-Dodge House; the Lansing City Market;
Gier, Kingsley, Foster, Miller Rd., and the Senior Center; Groesbeck,
Sycamore, Waverly, and Red Cedar Golf Courses; the River Trail and
Riverfront Park; the Washington Park Ice Rink; Moores and Hunter outdoor
swimming pools; athletic facilities; and Evergreen, Mt. Hope, and North
Cemeteries. Additionally, the Forestry Section is responsible for the planting,
care, and removal of all street trees within the City.

2. WHAT IS THE BALLOT QUESTION? TO FUND IMPROVEMENTS FOR PARK


GROUNDS, BUILDINGS, AND FACILITIES.
On August 7, 1990 the registered voters of Lansing asked to
1 additional mill for the improvement of Lansing Parks.
The ballot will be worded:
PROPOSAL TO LEVY ONE MILL FOR OPERATION OF
- PARKS-___
AND RECREATION SYSTEM
-
,----
/ Shalt the City ` of Lansing; -Counties of`VTngham' -^°
and Eaton, Michigan, levy an additional one mill
($1.00 per $1,000) for five ears commencing
July 1, 1991 on all taxable real property in the
City of Lansing for the purpose of operating
the City's parks, Zoo and recreation sstem?

IS THE MILLAGE FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS OR OPERATION? JUST


R IMPROVEMENT .
The intent of the City Council is for the money from the millage to be used
exclusively for the construction and rehabilitation of parks and recreation
\facilities. Operating funds will be from the general fund.
4. /WASN`T THE MONEY ALREADY APPROPRIATED IN THE MAY BUDGET
P CESS? NO.
The money appropriated during the May budget approval process was for
general operation and not for maajo im rovveement and renovation projects.

5. WHAT WILL THE ONE MILL ACCOMPLISH? FUNDING FOR PARK


PROJECTS.
The one mill will provide funding which will allow for the completion of
numerous renovation projects which have been identified as being the highest
priority through the preparation of the new Parks and Recreation Department's
Five Year Master Plan adopted by the Mayor and City Council in May of 1990.
Projects will include major renovations at the Potter Park Zoo, renovation of
current and -installation of new playground equipment in neighborhood parks,
tennis and basketball court facilities, and play areas, renovation of athletic
fields and facilities, community centers, the City Market, cemeteries, Fenner
Arboretum, and rehabilitation of existing park buildings including handicapper
accessibility. A list of the projects to be completed including possible grant
funds .has been included at the end of this information package.

6. HOW MUCH WILL THE POTTER PARK ZOO RECEIVE? THE ZOO WILL
RECEIVE FUNDING FOR NUMEROUS PROJECTS.
i-
The Potter Park Zoo will receive approximately .29 mill or approximately
$500,000 per year. These funds can be expanded by using the millage funds
to match various grant sources. This .29 will be equal to the previous bond
issue which expires June 30, 1990.
L
7. HOW WERE THE FUNDS FROM THE LAST ZOO BOND ISSUE SPENT? FOR
RENOVATION OF EXISTING ANIMAL EXHIBITS.
Approximately $1.5 million dollars was received from the sale of the bonds.
This money was matched by State of Michigan grant funds, the parking fee
revenue, and local donations to provide a total of $2.4 million for Potter Park
Improvements including the renovation of the Feline & Primate Building, (the
Lion House).

.k(y 8. WHY DO WE NEED TO MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS NOW? WE CAN'T WAIT


ANY LONGER.
"\■\ylany of the park facilities are deteriorating and in need of major rehabilitation
y^ ` ght now as many of our park facilities are over 75 years old. The longer
„z.
y^s 1'
Ahat these projects are put off, the more work and dollars which will be
^, 'required in the future. As the time passes both the need for renovation and
'`, ;^,',1``the
i, costs for the rehabilitation will only increase which can ultimately result in
the closing of a facility or the reduction of recreational opportunities.
9. WILL THESE FUNDS BE USED TO FUND THE PROPOSED GOLF COURSE
FACILITIES? NO.

The proposed expansion of Waverly Golf Course and the proposed renovations
to Groesbeck are not to be funded by the millage. These projects will be
funded through increases in user fees to the golf courses. A small amount of
the money may be used towards the conversion of the Groesbeck Club Ilousd
o a winter sports facility in

10. WHY NOT SOLICIT DONATIONS AND GRANTS TO FUND THE PROJECTS?
THE PARKS NEED FUNDING NOW.

The City will be working to encourage donations and grants to help fund
projects. However many of these projects cannot wait until the opportunities
might be available. Most grant sources also require matching funds which this
millage will provide enabling the City to apply for grants. Many of the badly
needed projects also are not eligible for grant programs or are not attractive
projects to donors.

11. WHY A MILLAGE AND NOT THE SALE OF BONDS? A MILLAGE IS


CHEAPER TO THE RESIDENT.

A sale of bonds will cost the residents of the City of Lansing the costs of
selling the bonds and the repayment of the bonds plus interest, much like
buying a car with a car loan, resulting in a reduction of money available for
projects. The collection of an extra mill however will provide 100% direct
funding into the park projects. There are no additional costs or fees in
collecting the millage. Any interest accrued on the collected funds will be used
-"directly for park improvement projects.

1 WILL THERE BE A DECREASE OR AN INCREASE IN THE GENERAL FUND


APPROPRIATION FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT? THE
APPROPRIATION WILL STAY THE SAME.

There will be no difference in the appropriation from the City's general fund.
Any- change in funding levels will be a result of improvements made. Many of
the renovations can result in a decrease in the amount of funds required to
maintain a particular facility, while others may result in an increase.

13. WHAT WILL THE MILLAGE MEAN TO MY PROPERTY VALUE? IT WILL


HELP MAINTAIN THE VALUE.

The millage will provide funds for improving projects' throughout the Parks
system. These improvements will provide for an improved quality of life for
residents through better and more enjoyable parks and recreation opportunities
and more attractive facilities. This leads to improved property values and ease
of selling residential properties by attracting persons to purchase housing
within Lansing.
14. WILL PUBLIC INPUT CONTINUE DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
PROJECTS? YES!!

As part of the development and approval of the Parks and Recreation


Department's Five Year Master Plan, various modes of public input were
received to aid in the development of the plan, including public hearings and
specially formed interest group meetings. It is expected that these modes will
continue throughout the implementation of the proposed projects.

15. HOW WILL THE PROJECT FUNDS BE ADMINISTRATED? VERY CAREFULLY


IN ORDER TO INSURE PROPER SPENDING.

The funds will be placed in a designated account for the sole purpose of Park
renovation and development projects. The Parks and Recreation Department will
be responsible for insuring that all planning and construction represents the
interests of the approved master plan and the citizens of Lansing. Citizen
input will be encouraged throughout the development processes.

16. HOW MUCH WILL THIS MILLAGE COST ME? ABOUT 38 CENTS PER WEEK.

The one mill will cost the owner of a home with a $40, 000 value, which is
assessed at $20,000, approximately $20.00 per year, or 38 cents per week.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE MILLAGE IS NOT APPROVED ON AUGUST

The project needs which have.. been identified to be funded by the millage will
have no project funding available. and will not be undertaken. Badly needed
renovations will be postponed 'resulting in further deterioration and decline to
the Parks and Recreation system, which in turn leads to increased renovation
costs in the. future. Also many opportunities for grant funds may not be
realized as no match money will be available to secure these grants. Possible
grants may be. lost to other City's who have match money available.
