Letters were mailed to residents inthe 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 thewest, inviting them to attend the public meeting, where comments from the residentswere heard.

June 25, 2010SUBJECT: Westside Neighborhood Area Parking Time Limit Removals

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

Street From To Side Restriction WidthN. Genesee Stanley Verlinden North 2 Hour 26'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 beconducted to determine if the removal of the time limits is creating any issues. Based onthis trial period, the traffic engineering staff will recommend the permanent removal of thetime limits, or modifications to parking restrictions if traffic operational issues were observedduring the evaluation period. Although no issues are anticipated, high parking density onstreets narrower than approximately 28 feet could indicate a need to restrict parking on oneside of the street.

Once the evaluation of the time limit removal is completed, the Transportation and ParkingOffice will determine if other changes to the existing parking restrictions may be needed.This could consist of the removal of existing restrictions, implementation of daytimerestrictions, 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.

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 thepractice for the organization producing the Common Ground Music Festival event to offercomplimentary tickets to elected City officers and select City employees. This letter is a response tothat 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 thatthe 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 thegift that they "should be mindful of the impression receipt of a gift with such a high dollar value couldbeget."

Realizing that the Common Ground event is scheduled this year for July 12 through July 18, the EthicsBoard again discussed the gifts of Common Ground event packages and its concerns because of themagnitude of the market value of the gifts and the adverse assumption of a quid pro quo that somemembers 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 awareof the adverse impression gifts of this magnitude create and that the impression will persist despite thefact that the acceptance of the tickets may not be a technical violation of the City's Ethics Ordinancemandates.

Thank you for your consideration.

RE:

Z-3-2010, 2925 & 2935 N. East StreetRezoning 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 ofthe request by Parviz Soroughian to rezone the property at 2925 & 2935 N. East Street from "F" Commercialdistrict to "E-1" Apartment Shop district. The buildings at 2925 & 2935 N. East Street were constructed in2000. Both buildings are identical to each other, each contain 1,497 square feet of floor area and are located onthe 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 anytenants. The purpose of the rezoning is to allow the buildings to be used either exclusively for residential, lightcommercial or office use or for any combination of these uses. The existing "F" Commercial district does notpermit 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 willhave 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 beingadvanced in the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan. Furthermore, the proposed zoning actually represents adown zoning of the property which will make the future use(s) of the buildings more compatible with thesurrounding 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,,

ANALYSIS

COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING LAND USE

The property directly adjoins single family residential uses to the south and west. The usesallowed under the "E-1" Apartment Shop district are far less intensive than the uses allowedunder the "F" Commercial district. Therefore, the proposed zoning will make the future use(s) ofthe site more compatible with the adjoining residential uses. For comparison purposes, acomplete list of the uses permitted in the "F" Commercial and "E-l" Apartment Shop district isattached 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 residentialpurposes, however, the proposed "E-l" Apartment Shop zoning would allow the building to beused entirely for one or more residential units. Therefore, the proposed zoning will actuallybring the property further into compliance with the land use pattern being advanced in the masterplan.

IMPACT ON VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC

The traffic from the site will utilize the driveways on Howe Street and N. East Street. AlthoughHowe 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 isdesignated as a principal arterial that is designed to carry a high volume of traffic. The trafficgenerated by the uses allowed under the "E-1" Apartment Shop district will not have anynegative impacts on the transportation system in the area. In fact, the uses allowed under thisdistrict will generate less traffic than many of any use(s) that could potentially occupy thebuildings under the current zoning.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

No negative environmental impacts are anticipated to result from the proposed rezoning. Thetypes of uses permitted in the "E-1" Local Shopping district are generally low impact uses thatdo not generate much traffic, noise and other potential nuisances. In terms of the physicalenvironment, 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 arenumerous other instances of spot zoning already in the area. Furthermore, it is very rare that a

Z-3-2010


Page 4

property owner makes a request to down zone a parcel of land. The only reason that thisproperty owner is making that request is to allow the buildings to be used exclusively forresidential purposes, if that is the only way to make use of the buildings which have sat vacantfor almost 10 years. It is unlikely that other property owners in the area would make a similarrequest, however, if they did, it would also be looked upon favorably since it reduces, rather thanintensifies 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. EastStreet, 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 isto permit the building at this location to be used for a combination of residential, lightcommercial and office uses.

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

RECOMMENDATION

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

ANALYSIS

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

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

The proposed site design is consistent with the layout of other properties along BardavilleStreet. Furthermore, churches are typically in use at times that do not conflict with peakhours for other businesses and activities are usually confined to indoors. The greatestpotential impact on its harmony with the surrounding neighborhood could be the provisionof adequate parking so as to not burden the area with increased on-street parking or excessivetraffic. If approved, the special land use permit should be conditioned upon the seatingcapacity being limited to the amount of available on-site parking or parking that can be leasedwithin 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 softenthe appearance of the parking lot and to mitigate any negative effects from vehicle lightsshining into windows.

2. WM the proposed special land use change the essential character of the surroundingarea?

SLU-4-2010

Bardaville Street

Page 3

The proposed site is within an area that contains a variety of land uses including multiplefamily residential, office and commercial. Given the diverse land use pattern that alreadyexists, a church will not change the essential character of the area. In fact, the church will fitin nicely with the child care center to the north, the office building to the south and themultiple family residential uses to the east and west. The church will be quiet, there will beno heavy traffic from delivery trucks and the activities will generally be confined to eveningand weekends when the offices and child care centers are not open. Thus, it will not addsignificantly to the traffic volumes that already exist on Bardaville Street during the weekdayswhen most of these uses on this street are in full operation.

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

The primary concern with churches in terms of interfering with the enjoyment of adjacentproperties is the potential conflicts with liquor licenses. By state law, a church has anopportunity to object to all new liquor licenses within 500 feet of the church property. In thiscase, 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, thatit 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 characterof property under consideration and the surrounding area in general, and will the usebe in keeping with the natural environment of the lot?

Staff believes that the proposed church will not negatively effect the surrounding area whichis characterized by a mix of multiple family residential, office and light commercial uses. Thesite is zoned "F" Commercial which allows for retail, office, restaurant, gas station,automobile repair and automobile sales uses, by right. Churches are generally far lessintensivethan most of these uses and will therefore, have a lower impact on the surroundingresidential and offices uses and on the child care center to the north. A retail store, restaurantor any type of automobile service establishment wouldbe completely out of character withthe adjoining land uses as these uses would be far more noisy and would generate a muchhigher 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 welfareof 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 andservices, or is it demonstrated that the person responsible for the proposed special landuse is able to continually provide adequately for the services and facilities deemedessential 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 oragencies. However, the project, including the utility details, will have to be reviewed throughthe site plan review process.

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

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

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

The proposed church is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance andthe Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan designates the subjectproperty 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 whichis evaluated based on the nine criteria contained in the Zoning Ordinance. The proposedchurch will be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance provided it has sufficient parking for the200 member congregation.

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

The proposed site complies with all setback and parking lot layout requirements. Therequired number of parking spaces for a church with a seating capacity of 200 is the onlydimensional issue that needs to be addressed. 67 parking spaces are required and 42 areshown on the site plan. The applicant has 2 options: (1) Obtain a written lease agreementfrom 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 stripalong the front and rear property lines. The landscaping must consist of a row of shrubs andtrees at a ratio of 1 tree for each 30 lineal feet of buffer area and 5 shrubs for each 20 linealfeet of buffer area. The trees must have a minimum starting size of 2 caliper inches. Shrubsmust 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 withassociated site improvements on the vacant property located between 3310 and 3320 BardavilleStreet. The subject property is zoned "F" Commercial, which district permits churches, if a SpecialLand 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 ofSection 1282.03(f)(1)-(9) of the Zoning Code for evaluating Special Land Use permits.

RE:

SLU-5-2010, 230 Bingham StreetSpecial 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 therequest by Reformed Church of America, Classis South Grand Rapids, Blacks oil Church to utilize the first floor ofthe building at 230 Bingham Street for a church. The second floor of the building contains two residential units. Thesubject property is zoned "F" Commercial district. Churches are permitted in the "F" Comatercial district, if aSpecial 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 ona collector, principal or minor arterial and must be located on a lot that is at least 2 acres in size. In addition, Section1284.13(b)(1) requires one parking space for each 3 seats in the church sanctuary. Based on the proposed seatingcapacity, 25 parking spaces will be required. The property at 230 Bingham St. is located on a local road, is .18 acresin size and has no on-site parking spaces that will be available for the church. The Zoning Board of Appeals, at it'sMay 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 usecomplies with all of the criteria established by Section 1282.02(f)(1-9) of the Zoning Ordinance for granting specialland 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 othercomments were received. Letters of support from the Association for the Bingham Community and from the AllenNeighborhood Center are attached.

To whom it may concern:

My name is Denise Kelley and I am the president of the Association for the BinghamCommunity (ABC). The building at 230 Bingham Street that Jeremy Dowsett and the ReformedChurch of America (Blacksoil Church) would like to have their church is inside ourneighborhood. The building, or FireHouse as we call it, is a good building that has sat empty forthe 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 thebuilding. As you can imagine, we were very concerned about the lack of available parking. Wealso had to learn more about what this particular church does and what they stand for. Since theyhave started this purchase process, a few members of the congregation have and are activelylooking to move into the ABC neighborhood, This is a small boost to our housing stock in thisneighborhood.

It was decided after a good, productive conversation to support this request. We have stated toMr. Dowsett that we would like to see a couple things happen that he has agreed to. One: Awritten agreement with a parking lot near by so that the street is not overloaded with cars eachSaturday evening when they meet. Blacksoil has entered into an agreement with a larger churchdown the block to use their parking lot. Mr. Dowsett and his leaders have agreed to very stronglyencourage their congregation to park in that lot. Two: He and his church needs to maintain theopen line of communication that we have started at this meeting. (I have attended a meeting ofhis 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 requestfor Jeremy Dowsett and the Reformed Church of America (Blacksoil Church). We look forwardto 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 offormer Firehouse #4 at 200 Bingham Street as a church. During its May 24 th meeting, the AllenNeighborhood Center Board of Directors had an extensive conversation about issues of concern(parking) and possibilities (increase number of young Black Soil families moving into immediateneighborhood, improvement of an historic firehouse, etc.). The Board then unanimously votedto endorse the project.

We are particularly impressed by the active involvement of Black Soil members in communityimprovement 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 importanceof 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, andthe impact of their activities in this area of the Eastside have been exceptionally positive. Webelieve 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 toemail me at [email protected] or call me at 517-999-3912 (direct dial).

Sincerely,

Joan Nelson, DirectorAllen Neighborhood Center

Background Information

The building at 230 Bingham Street is 2 stories in height, contains 4,613 square feet and wasconstructed in 1904. Once the fire department vacated the building, it was used as a single familyresidence. In 1984 a special land use permit was approved to permit the use of the ground floor fora health and fitness studio and the upper floor for 2 residential apartments. Also in 1984, the Boardof 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 avariance was approved to the parking requirement for this use. The child care center operated at thislocation until approximately 2008. Since that time, the building has remained vacant except for the2residential 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 belocated on a collector, principal or minor arterial and must be located on a lot that is at least 2 acresin size. In addition, Section 1284.13(b)(1) requires one parking space for each 3 seats in the churchsanctuary. Based on the proposed seating capacity, 25 parking spaces will be required. The propertyat 230 Bingham St. is located on a local road, is .18 acres in size and has no on-site parking spacesthat will be available for the church.

ANALYSIS

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

1. Is the proposed special land use designed, constructed, operated and maintained in amanner 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 thesurrounding neighborhood. This will help to keep vehicular traffic to a minimum as themajority of the membership will hopefully walk, rather than drive to the church. With respectto parking, the concern is that traffic associated with the church will infringe on the rights ofneighborhood residents by monopolizing on-street parking in the area. There areapproximately 19 on-street parking spaces directly adjacent to the subject. The applicant isseeking a joint parking agreement with Bingham Elementary School andlor the PilgrimCongregational 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 withregard to overuse of on-street parking.

The use will be harmonious with the surrounding residential area, as long as the focus of thechurch is on the immediate neighborhood rather than reaching out to a larger geographic areaof the city. Small neighborhood churches can be a very valuable part of healthy urbanenvironment. This church, in particular, has a history of being a very stabilizing force in theEastside neighborhoods of Lansing. As long as the traffic associated with the church is keptto 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 surroundingarea?

The site contains a fire station building and therefore, by its very nature, it is difficult to findan 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 byright at this location is a duplex. The building currently has two residential units on thesecond floor. The first floor, however, is vacant. Given the design and size of the buildingat 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 thisresidential neighborhood. The child care center, drew its primary customer base from thesurrounding neighborhood and therefore, did not generate a burdensome amount of trafficin the area. Likewise, the current proposal is for a "neighborhood church", which will alsobe intended to draw is parishioners from the surrounding neighborhood.


Page 4

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

The primary concern with churches in terms of interfering with the enjoyment of adjacentproperties is the potential conflicts with liquor licenses. By state law, a church has anopportunity to object to all new liquor licenses within 500 feet of the church property. In thiscase, 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 characterof property under consideration and the surrounding area in general, and will the usebe in keeping with the natural environment of the lot?

The subject property contains an existing building that was constructed for non-residentialpurposes. The purpose of the special land use permit and the variances that have already beenapproved is to accommodate a use for the building that will not be detrimental to thesurrounding 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. Thereare 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. Themajority of the site is an unimproved area that was used as an outdoor play area for the childcare center that previously occupied the building. While the applicant could pave some of thisarea to provide additional on-site parking, doing so would not only be detrimental to thephysical environment, but could also have a negative impact on the privacy and enjoyment ofadjoining 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 welfareof 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 begenerated by granting the proposed variances.

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

The subject property is currently served by all necessary public services and utilities. Nonegative comments have been received from any of the reviewing departments or agencies.Inspections may be necessary to determine if the structure complies with current buildingcode and fire code requirements for an assembly use.

SLU-5-2010

230 Bingham Street

Page 5

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

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

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

The proposed church is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance andthe Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinanceboth designate the subject property for residential use. Churches are permitted in residentialdistricts, subject to obtaining a special land use permit, because they are consideredcompatible uses in residential neighborhoods. The reason that churches are consideredcompatible with residential uses is that they are quiet, the majority of the traffic is onweekends and there is no heavy truck traffic associated with their use. In this case inparticular, the church will concentrate its efforts on strengthening the surroundingneighborhood. Blacksoil church has been very active in the community, even though it hasnot had a permanent home in the City of Lansing. It has partnered with the AllenNeighborhood Center on several clean-up projects, home improvement projects, activities inthe parks, etc., on the east side of Lansing. The church will continue to be an active andstabilizing force in this area.

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

There are no physical changes proposed for the exterior of the building or the site at 230Bingham Street. Section 1284.13(b)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance requires 1 parking space foreach 3 seats in the main sanctuary. Since the applicant would like to have seating for 75people in the sanctuary, 25 parking spaces are required. Section 1250.04(b) of the ZoningOrdinance 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. Theproperty at 230 Bingham Street is located on a local road and is .18 acres in size. The ZoningBoard of Appeals, at it's May 13, 2010 meeting, approved variances to all of theserequirements.

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 LansingCity Council.

Hi Jeremy,

There should be an official notification coming from the Facilities team, but at lastnight's council meeting we approved Blacksoil's use of Pilgrim's parking lot forSaturday night services. They wanted to offer a six-month agreement, with the ideathat 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 wouldeventually turn into an overnight parking situation. So they were wondering aboutideas to keep that from happening - maybe a parking sticker they'd give to theBlacksoil folk, or something like that.Since I've been here (three years), we haven't had anything at Pilgrim on a Saturdaynight, but they wanted to reserve the right to have the parking lot back if needed fora special event.

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

Blessings,Brandon

South Side Boy's and Girl'sSports 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 andGirl's sports program. This program was started on June 3, 1978 to help kids in ourcommunity play the sport they love but couldn't play unless someone was there to helpthem get started. In the past with your support we have been able to sustain and maintainthe expenditures. This year we had our biggest turnout of youth in our community; this isgreat because this is what we want. We want our youth to get out and be involved inactivities like this when they have so much free time on their hands. However because ofthis great turnout our expenditures have doubled for the uniforms, equipment and entryfees. We are asking you our City Council to reconsider and help us with the entry fees forour youth in this program. The following balance of 3,100.00 is owed to the city ofLansing Parks and Recreation.

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

Sincerely,

Alfonso Salas

Old Town Commercial AssociationMs. Brittney Hoszkiw1232 Turner St.Lansing, MI. 48906

Dear Ms. Hoszkiw,

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

Because Old Town commercial district, Grand River Avenue and the Grand River have beenhistorically intertwined for many years, the proposed name change of Grand River Avenuewould be a confusing action for the property owners, local residents and visitors. Thiscommunity has grown and thrived with this river and street name, and renaming it wouldpotentially endanger its strong identity, creating confusion with the street directions ratherthan remedying it. In addition, this change could ultimately affect the economic destiny of the60 property owners in the district, who have invested their money, energy and efforts intomaking Old Town the vibrant commercial district it is today.

Another alternative would be to commemorate Cesar E. Chavez's humanitarian efforts with asign topper, which has been used in Chicago to honor important residents and has beentremendously successful. He could also be memorialized with a historical state marker. Statehistorical markers help sensitize residents and visitors to the fact that the marked place isimportant and should be preserved. A marker could be appropriately placed at a site where heconducted meetings, presented a speech or provided inspiration and guidance to local citizens.

Dear City Council Members & Memorial Review Board,

I am signing this letter to let you know I support the name change ofGrand River Avenue to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue (commencing atOakland 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 productioncontinues to help keep our foods safe to eat. By co-founding theUnited Farm Workers union it gave farm laborers a decent wage andimproved living conditions. Cesar E. Chavez was the recipient of thePresidential Medal of Freedom, a Civil Rights leader and a UnitedStates Naval Veteran.

If the name is changed I feel it would help the neighborhood becomestronger, revitalized and more unified.

Michigan Bureau of ElectionsComplaints430 W. AlleganLansing, 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 forputting an illegal millage renewal on the August 3 primary ballot. Voters are being asked to approe 1 mill fora 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 rehabilitationof parks and,recreation facilities. In other words, capital improvements were the intent of the original ParksMillage. 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 gotrenewed 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 millagefunds in 2007; $1,235,405 in 2008; $1,267,547 in 2009; and $1,320,100 in 2010. Also, the City is proposing touse $1,204,000 of almost $2.4 million of Parks Millage funds for these general fund expenditures in 2011 if thisso-called renewal passes (Exhibit "C"). Heaven only knows how the City plans to spend Parks Millage moneyfrom 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 renewalviolates the intent and spirit and therefore the letter of the law or mutual understanding of the originalmillage that was passed in 1990. This is not a RENEWAL. It ' s nothing more than the old bait and switch, a shellgame 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 myunderstanding that another Lansing citizen recently sent an audio copy of that meeting to you with her formalcomplaint. 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 ofthe 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 CityAttorney Brigham Smith have endorsed this scam of a millage and pig-in-a-poke. They all know better, butthey don't care. Therefore, I ask that you look into this matter and do whatever is within your power to stopthis unethical, misleading and bogus ballot proposal.

Your timely and complete cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from yousoon. If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to contact me at (517) 484-1171 or viaemail [email protected] .

Sincerely,

PROPOSAL TO LEVY ONE MILL FOR OPERATION OFPARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM

,---- -

-___

-/

Shalt the City ` of Lansing; -Countiesof`VTngham' -^°and Eaton, Michigan, levy an additional one mill($1.00 per $1,000) for five ears commencingJuly 1, 1991 on all taxable real property in theCity of Lansing for the purpose of operatingthe City's parks, Zoo and recreation sstem?

IS THE MILLAGE FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS OR OPERATION? JUSTR IMPROVEMENT .

4. /WASN`T THE MONEY ALREADY APPROPRIATED IN THE MAY BUDGETP CESS? NO.

The money appropriated during the May budget approval process was forgeneral operation and not for maajo im rovveement and renovation projects.

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

The one mill will provide funding which will allow for the completion ofnumerous renovation projects which have been identified as being the highestpriority through the preparation of the new Parks and Recreation Department'sFive 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 ofcurrent and -installation of new playground equipment in neighborhood parks,tennis and basketball court facilities, and play areas, renovation of athleticfields and facilities, community centers, the City Market, cemeteries, FennerArboretum, and rehabilitation of existing park buildings including handicapperaccessibility. A list of the projects to be completed including possible grantfunds .has been included at the end of this information package.

6. HOW MUCH WILL THE POTTER PARK ZOO RECEIVE? THE ZOO WILLRECEIVE 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 fundsto match various grant sources. This .29 will be equal to the previous bondissue which expires June 30, 1990.

L 7. HOW WERE THE FUNDS FROM THE LAST ZOO BOND ISSUE SPENT? FORRENOVATION 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 feerevenue, and local donations to provide a total of $2.4 million for Potter ParkImprovements including the renovation of the Feline & Primate Building, (theLion House).

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

"\■\ylany of the park facilities are deteriorating and in need of major rehabilitationy^s '

y^ ` ght now as many of our park facilities are over 75 years old. The longer1„z. Ahat these projects are put off, the more work and dollars which will be

^,i

'required in the future. As the time passes both the need for renovation and'`, ;^,',1``the costs for the rehabilitation will only increase which can ultimately result in,,

the closing of a facility or the reduction of recreational opportunities.

The proposed expansion of Waverly Golf Course and the proposed renovationsto Groesbeck are not to be funded by the millage. These projects will befunded through increases in user fees to the golf courses. A small amount ofthe 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 fundprojects. However many of these projects cannot wait until the opportunitiesmight be available. Most grant sources also require matching funds which thismillage will provide enabling the City to apply for grants. Many of the badlyneeded projects also are not eligible for grant programs or are not attractiveprojects to donors.

11. WHY A MILLAGE AND NOT THE SALE OF BONDS? A MILLAGE ISCHEAPER TO THE RESIDENT.

A sale of bonds will cost the residents of the City of Lansing the costs ofselling the bonds and the repayment of the bonds plus interest, much likebuying a car with a car loan, resulting in a reduction of money available forprojects. The collection of an extra mill however will provide 100% directfunding into the park projects. There are no additional costs or fees incollecting the millage. Any interest accrued on the collected funds will be used

-"directly for park improvement projects.

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 ofthe renovations can result in a decrease in the amount of funds required tomaintain a particular facility, while others may result in an increase.

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

The millage will provide funds for improving projects' throughout the Parkssystem. These improvements will provide for an improved quality of life forresidents through better and more enjoyable parks and recreation opportunitiesand more attractive facilities. This leads to improved property values and easeof selling residential properties by attracting persons to purchase housingwithin Lansing.

9. WILL THESE FUNDS BE USED TO FUND THE PROPOSED GOLF COURSEFACILITIES? NO.

1 WILL THERE BE A DECREASE OR AN INCREASE IN THE GENERAL FUNDAPPROPRIATION FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT? THEAPPROPRIATION WILL STAY THE SAME.

14. WILL PUBLIC INPUT CONTINUE DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEPROJECTS? YES!!

As part of the development and approval of the Parks and RecreationDepartment's Five Year Master Plan, various modes of public input werereceived to aid in the development of the plan, including public hearings andspecially formed interest group meetings. It is expected that these modes willcontinue throughout the implementation of the proposed projects.

15. HOW WILL THE PROJECT FUNDS BE ADMINISTRATED? VERY CAREFULLYIN ORDER TO INSURE PROPER SPENDING.

The funds will be placed in a designated account for the sole purpose of Parkrenovation and development projects. The Parks and Recreation Department willbe responsible for insuring that all planning and construction represents theinterests of the approved master plan and the citizens of Lansing. Citizeninput 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 isassessed 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 willhave no project funding available. and will not be undertaken. Badly neededrenovations will be postponed 'resulting in further deterioration and decline tothe Parks and Recreation system, which in turn leads to increased renovationcosts in the. future. Also many opportunities for grant funds may not berealized as no match money will be available to secure these grants. Possiblegrants may be. lost to other City's who have match money available.

Council Members Hewitt and Wood

Council Member Wood asked that the following statement be part of therecord:

My reason for voting no on the ballot language deals with the languagenot whether I support the Park Millage. I support the Park Millage andbelieve that it is critical to the park system, but I also believe during thepublic meeting dealing with the Parks Master Plan and the budget it wasrepeatedly evident that the community wanted a guarantee that the parksin their neighborhoods would be maintained and repaired. I believeputting a percentage in the ballot language it would reassure the publicthat we will take care of what we have before we add to the existing parkssystem.
