I. Project Justification and Support

This project includes improvements to the existing Grand River Parklocated in Lansing, MI. Currently, Grand River Park is the location of severalboating clubs and also includes a boat launch/ramp. The park is 42 acres in sizeand has significant open space and river frontage that are under utilized. Thisproject proposes to construct a non-motorized trail that will provide access to thenatural features of the site and also access to the Grand River via a fishingpier/observation platform. Furthermore, as shown on page 87 of the 2010-2015recreation plan, Lansing River Trail access will be extended to Grand River Parkwhich would link the park to other existing parks and recreation opportunitiesalong the trail network.

Please see pages 38-41 of the Lansing 2010-2015 recreation plan for alist and description of past recreation grants the community has received. Also,see pages 18-19 for a description of collaboration with adjacent communities andschool districts. Finally, please see page 58-69 for an explanation of the publicinput process which includes comments from various stakeholder groupsregarding priorities within the community relating to parks and recreationdevelopment.

Based on the comments from the public input process, the top prioritiesincluded an interurban bikeway that would integrate parks and trails as well asimprove access to the Grand River. This project accomplishes both of these toppriorities by connecting to the proposed Waverly Road Regional Trail networkthat will connect Grand River Park to numerous existing parks within Lansing andby providing access to the Grand River via a fishing/observation platform.

II. Project Description

The proposed project includes the construction of approximately 1 mile ofnon-motorized trail and a fishing pier/observation platform. The routing of thepath was determined to minimize the impact of construction on the naturalresources of the site while also following topography that would allow for ADAaccessibility and minimize site disruption. To ensure universal accessopportunities of the proposed project, the trail surface will be paved with asphaltto go above and beyond ADA requirements to ensure easy access to all areas ofthe site. Permeable pavement options will be considered, however for thisproject permeable pavements are not expected to be cost effective. Theproposed fishing pier/scenic overlook will include a wooden boardwalk supportedon helical piers (which create little to no environmental impact) that will extendinto the Grand River that will allow wheelchair users to easily access the river.Using the wooden boardwalk will also minimize the grading along the shorelinewhich can be considered an environmentally friendly solution to protect the

riparian habitats. As part of the current recreation plan, this project has beenpublicized tremendously to gain support from the community. Public meetings,social media, print media, broadcast media and mailings to neighborhoodassociations have all been used to promote the project. The Grand River ParkTrail will connect to the proposed Waverly Regional Trail which will link GrandRiver Park to the Lansing River Trail system and numerous City of LansingParks. The trail will be designed in accordance with all AASHTO and ADAdesign standards which include provisions on trail width, trail slopes, andmaneuverability.

Ill. Natural Resource Access and Protection

The most significant natural feature on site is the Grand River. GrandRiver Park offers more than 4,000 feet of natural shoreline. Currently the park isprimarily used as a boat launch for water based recreation opportunities byseveral boat clubs, Michigan State University, and the general public. There is asignificant portion of the site that has not been developed and is densely coveredwith forest and shrub vegetation. This large, undeveloped wooded portion of thesite will provide recreation opportunities such as hiking and wildlife observation.Also, increased fishing opportunities will be realized along the undevelopedshoreline as well as on the proposed fishing platform. This project is included aspart of the City of Lansing's Non-Motorized Transportation Plan which serves topromote green infrastructure by providing alternative modes of transportation toarea residents.

Council President A'Lynne Robinsonand Members of the Lansing City Council

Tenth Floor City HallLansing, Michigan 48933

Dear President Robinson and Councilmembers:

The Elected Officers Compensation Commission (EOCC) met incommittee during February and March 2011. The EOCC reviewedinternal economic and financial documents and the current salary andbenefit compensation packages of the Mayor, City Clerk, and members ofthe City Council. In addition, the EOCC compared various salarystructures held by like officers in comparable communities acrossMichigan. The EOCC received written recommendations from the Mayorand received written documentation from City Clerk Chris Swope.Council President A' Lynne Robinson and Councilmember DerrickQuinney provided written information. City Clerk Chris Swopeaddressed the EEOC in person. Public comments were received.

Our recommendation is based on the National and State economicclimate, the resulting financial condition of the City, our review ofexecutive and legislative responsibilities, and comparisons with othercommunities. We also considered the compensation history and the 2009recommendation, which reduced fringe benefits, reduced the Mayor'ssalary and increased the City Clerk's salary.

Our recommendation makes no changes to the compensation provided toelected officials. The compensation is comparable to other legislativebodies of similar size in Michigan. We also recognize that the salaries ofour elected officials have not been increased since 2002. This is inkeeping with the Mayor's recommendation of no change. (Note: Due to aclerical error, our 2009 Recommendation was incorrect. The belowRecommendation reflects the actual 2009 recommended salaries, whichno changes for 2011.)

The Fire Marshal Division visited several schools; speaking to 5,500 students;stressing the importance of Home Safety.

Over 200 Lansing residents (adults as well as many children) attended the 2010open houses, all getting the very important message of: having WORKING Fire andCarbon Monoxide Alarms in their homes. They also learned hands on, about FireTrucks, Ambulances etc. Anyone wishing to do so even got a chance to hold and spraywater from a Fire Hose.

The Lansing Fire Department responded to 16,769 incidents in 2010. They arepleased to say that there were No Fire Fatalities reported in 2010.

History of the Proposed District

The history of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Lansing dates back to the 1840s. The originalchurch members met in a building on the North side of Wall Street (now Maple) between Cedar andCenter Streets. The building was jointly owned and occupied by the Methodists and a congregation ofPresbyterians. The Presbyterians eventually moved on and built a new church in 1852 at the northwestcorner of Washington and Franklin (now Grand River Avenue). The Methodists continued at theiroriginal location until 1868 when they began construction of a new wooden church in the proposedhistoric district site. James Turner, a prominent figure in the settlement and development of Lansing,

was a founding member of the church. His wife Marion served as the present of the Ladies Aid Society,which frequently hosted ice cream socials to raise money for the church. Unfortunately, Mr. Turnerdied of typhoid at the age of 49 before the first building was completed on the proposed historic districtsite in 1870. (Hall, 1946, p. 3)

3

The wooden church building was home to the congregation until 1904 when "the necessity of a newchurch building became very apparent about this time as the growth of this part of the city was so rapidas to require better church and Sunday school facilities," (Hall, 1946, p. 4). The new church was built onthe same site as the old one and dedicated in February 1905. This church was a more impressivebuilding than the original wooden church, having been constructed of stone with an impressive tower

and many beautiful stained glass windows.

In 1917, newspaper headlines were largely focused on the war in Europe. The United States had notintervened in the war under the leadership of President Woodrow Wilson. However, in early 1917before the U.S .declared war, the Germans increased their offensive efforts and began to attack evenmerchant ships with their submarines. After German submarines sank seven U.S. merchant ships andevidence of their attempt to coax Mexico into war against us surfaced, the U.S. declared war on April 6,1917. Ten days earlier, the First Methodist Episcopal Church laid the cornerstone for a new brick churchat the southeast corner of Franklin (now Grand River Avenue) and Cedar Streets. Since the 1905 stonechurch building was completed, North Lansing continued to grow. In just 12 years, the congregation'sneeds had outgrown the substantial new stone building. The new brick church was to be the third andfinal building that the congregation would build on the property.

On April 3, 1918, Lansing's newspaper, The State Journal, contained a prominent article featuring thenew church building. The headline declared "CHURCH WILL BE FREED FROM DEBT WITH LIBERTYBONDS." April 7, 1918, one day after the first anniversary of the U.S. entry into the war, known as"Liberty Sunday," the church was dedicated. The day was called Liberty Sunday because thegovernment had just issued the third series of Liberty Bonds to raise money for the war effort. Buying abond was everyone's patriotic duty. The members of the congregation had pledged their purchases ofprevious bond issues to the church to pay off the debt associated with the new construction.

It's doubtful that James Turner could have conceived the modern conveniences that his church wouldcome to enjoy. The new building featured amenities that included heating and cooling, intercoms,drinking fountains and indoor plumbing, electric fixtures, a print shop, eleven Sunday school classrooms, and an auditorium. The Reverend G.V. Wade, was quoted with pride that the building wasconstructed in the midst of the hardships of war using construction materials that were purchasedentirely in Lansing. He also was proud of his 350 member congregation, which was comprised primarilyof working people employed in Lansing factories.

The church features a classical portico with four steel pillars and a dentillated cornice. The stained glasswindows from the 1904 stone church were reused inside the building and most are still present.Additionally, the building features stained glass windows on all four sides, with more than 31 on thefront (Grand River facing) facade alone. Many of the windows display the names of prominent churchmembers, organizations, and leaders. Notable names include Mrs. Marion Turner, The Junior League ofLansing, and the Reverend Doty.

According to The Bicentennial History of Ingham County, Michigan, the building's bricks were from theBeale brickyards located to the northeast of the intersection of Larch and Oakland. This yard was said tohave furnished the bricks for many public buildings and private residences for "...the length and breadthof the city," (Ceaser, 1967, pp. 223-224). Some of these prominent buildings included the old CentralMethodist Church (northwest corner of Washington and Ottawa), the Universalist Church, the CatholicChurch (on the corner of Chestnut and Madison), and the Grange Building located at 1250 Turner Street(now home to the Esquire bar).

As the First Methodist Church enjoyed its new building, its congregation continued to grow. A SundayService program (attached) dated April 16, 1939 indicates that every Sunday church school began at

5

10:00am, followed by a Public Worship Service at 11:00am In the evening, a 6:00pm Devotional Hourwas held by the Intermediate League at the same time as The Epworth League 's Sunday eveningfellowship. At 7:00pm a Pleasant Sunday evening service was held with music from a 40-member juniorchoir. Notices and news items contained in the program indicate that the building was also usedthroughout the week for a variety of purposes including a: Boy Scouts weekly meeting, Girl Reservesmeeting, family church night co-operative supper, and choir rehearsals.

In 1946, the First Methodist Church celebrated its centennial in Lansing which was observed fromOctober 20 until October 27, 1946. In the pamphlet, The History of the First Methodist Church 1846-1946, the church's active membership was reported to be 743 and the church's school, men's club,women's society, and youth groups were said to "...face the coming years with high vision and loftyidealism" (Hall, 1946, p. 6).

The First Methodist Church began to explore relocation options in 1959 due to "...the changingcommunity in North Lansing, with highways going through, lack of parking, migration of members toother parts of Lansing, and long range plans for industrial development, "(First Methodist Church, 1967,p. 8). In 1962, after they secured a new property at Delta River Drive and Waverly, the building waslisted for sale. Late in 1964, the proposed historic district was sold to the Bethlehem TempleCongregation for $60,000.

In 1976, the City of Lansing Historic District Study Committee identified the building as being worthy ofpreservation for its historic value and included it in their report, Memorandum 76. Cedar Street was

later extended north past Grand River Avenue to form a one-way street with traffic to the south. LarchStreet a block to the west was changed to a northbound one-way. This dramatically changed thecharacter of the area around the proposed historic district.

The Bethlehem Temple congregation occupied the property through the 1990s until they too outgrewthe space and relocated to south Lansing. The property was purchased by developers and extensiverenovations were made to the interior of the building in order to accommodate reuse of the building asa nightclub. The Temple Club opened in 2001; the business ran until October 2006. The property wassubsequently in the possession of the creditor bank when it was purchased in 2009 by its currentowners.

Significance of the District

The proposed Old First Methodist Church historic district meets the criteria for eligibility established bythe U.S. Secretary of the Interior on its own merit under the following criteria:

Criterion A: Association with Significant Event or Pattern of History

The Old First Methodist Church historic district is significant under Criterion A for a number of reasons,including:

• The building structure is a testament to the founding of Lansing. The building symbolizes therapid growth, development, and increasing sophistication of the Methodist congregation andLansing as a whole.

6

• The building's cornerstone was laid 10 days prior to the United States declaration of war againstGermany. Very few significant buildings were built in 1917. The congregation's sacrifice andwillpower created a magnificent modern building during the hardships of war.

Criterion C: Design and Construction

This 3-story building was built in 1917 by the First Methodist Episcopalian Church. In a March 10, 2011

phone conversation with Bob Christensen, he indicated that the building was designed by Lee Black, a

Lansing based architect. Mr. Black and his son, Kenneth Black, designed many notable buildings in

Lansing. The Old First Methodist Church is a unique building and there are not any other similar

surviving buildings in Lansing.

The main body of the building is rectangular, with a footprint that is roughly 90 feet wide by 60 feet

deep with a 2-story rectangular entrance that is centered on the north facade. This entrance is 40 feet

wide by 8 feet deep featuring four steel, fluted columns standing on stone foundations. The top of the

entrance is capped with a dentillated cornice and molding. The entire building is constructed of brick

that varies in shade from light brown/tan to chocolate brown. The brown brick color is accented by

sharply contrasting white and cream elements including a band of light stone on the building's

foundation, white window sills, white keystones in three prominent window arches, white double

crosses, and a cream colored band of trim below a large cream colored dentillated molding that is

prominent on the east, north, and west building facades. Another distinctive feature of the building is

the extensive use of stained glass. All of the building's 78 windows feature stained glass panes. The

windows on the east, north, and west facades generally feature geometric patterns and are arranged in

regular, symmetrical groups. On the building's south (rear) facade, 2 large stained glass windows are

featured that depict biblical scenes. The building is in good condition with some deterioration of brick on

the south facade and the need for varying amounts of repair of virtually all of the windows. The vast

majority of the building appears to be in its original condition with very little alteration of windows or

cladding materials.

The interior of the building is comprised of 2 primary spaces with several smaller rooms, bathrooms,

common areas, and staircases. On the first floor, the main entrance features a wide, wooden staircase

that leads to a landing and short stairs to the second floor. Past the main entranceway, the first floor

has a hallway that extends from the northeast stairs to the west side of the building. Along the hallway,

four stained glass windows that appear to be from a previous church building that occupied the same

site. There is a large, open room on the first floor with access to smaller rooms on each side and the

building's major bathroom groups on the east side.

The second floor features a large, two-story assembly area that is the central space in the building.

From the assembly area, a two-story sanctuary is present on the east side, two smaller rooms on the

north, and another room to the west. The room to the west was last used as a bar area by a night club

that operated the building and the fixtures are still present. The third floor is a mezzanine level that is

open to the second floor on the west and north sides. Bathrooms are present on the east side of the

third floor. A large amount of original oak woodwork is still present throughout the building, mainly in

7

buildings 2 stairwells and main staircase, the ceiling of the assembly area, door and window trims, and

throughout the mezzanine level.

The building is adjacent to the sidewalks on the north side (Grand River Avenue) and the west side

(Cedar Street). A driveway and parking area are present to the east and south of the building. Brick

retaining walls are present along Cedar Street to the south of the building and along Grand River to the

east. The retaining walls do not appear to be original to the building.
