No Commissioners stated that they wished these items to be removed in the future. Chairman Webb stated that, after going through the correspondence and information items, they are accepted by the Planning Commission.

3 Motion by Mr. Sperling, supported by Mrs. Curley to accept the Correspondence and Information.

MOTION CARRIED 7. Old Business: A. Partners in Planning Update 1. Village of Estral Beach – planning and zoning services – Mr. Simmons stated that he has still not heard from the Village and that he assumes that they are still working on their Zoning Ordinance. He reminded the Commissioners that the Village has already completed their Land Use Plan, but that they have had issues with completing their Zoning Ordinance due to retaining planning commissioners. He stated that he will get in touch with the Village before the end of the year to see how they are progressing on their Ordinance.

2. Milan Township – Zoning Ordinance update – Mr. Simmons stated that this work is completed and that the invoice went out to the Township and that it has been paid. He stated that this item will no longer need to be on the agenda next month.

B. Monroe County Remonumentation Update – Mr. McBee stated that there was a peer group meeting on November 13 that he and Jeff Boudrie attended. He stated that a lot of different corners were approved at the meeting. He stated that the new 2019 grant is in and that it is just about the same amount of money as last year.

Chairman Webb asked how far they are along with completing the remonumenting work. Mr. McBee stated that they are nowhere near completed and that this work will likely go on for many years.

C. Monroe County Parks and Recreation Plan Update – Mr. McBee pointed out the link to the Plan printed on the agenda. He stated that the public hearing for the Plan will be on December 10 at 6 p.m. at the Courthouse.

D. Discussion Regarding Appointments to the Planning Commission 1. Applicants currently serving on Township Planning Commissions – Mr. McBee stated that this had come up previously, and that he asked the County’s legal advisor about if it would be possible for someone to serve on both a Township Planning Commission and the County Planning Commission, and that the advisor stated that it would not be possible to do this.

2. Road Commission Appointee – Mr. McBee stated that, in the process of reviewing the State Planning Act, he noticed that there is a prohibition regarding county employees serving on county planning commissions. He stated that this provision was added when the law changed, and that a representative from the Road Commission had been a part of the Planning Commission previous to that. He stated, as we are looking to replace our previous Road Commission representative from before with someone else from the Road Commission, that he asked our legal advisor whether having a Road Commission representative would be acceptable. He stated that the legal advisor stated that, as a Road Commission employee is also a County employee, this would not be allowed.

Mr. McBee stated that there is an exception to this rule, as the State Planning Act allows up to three ex-officio members, who could be county board members, but that could also include the county administrator, who has the power to appoint an employee to serve in his or her place. He stated that, if the Commissioners are really interested in having a Road Commission representative on the Planning Commission, then the County Administrator would have to agree to appoint that person and the County Board would then approve that person.

Chairman Webb stated that they always have appreciated having a Road Commission representative to provide input about the road network in the County and that she believed it was important in

4 assessing transportation elements when making planning decisions. She stated that it was unfortunate when we lost Scott Assenmacher as a Planning Commissioner, and that the Road Commission has added a lot to the Planning Commission. Mrs. Mentel agreed that it has always helped us out having that representative.

Mr. McBee stated that Mr. Simmons spoke to Randy Pierce at the Road Commission today, and that he told Mr. Simmons that the Road Commission is not opposed to having a representative on the Planning Commission, but that their current chief engineer lives all the way in Perrysburg, Ohio. He stated that Mr. Pierce was not opposed to trying to find a Road Commissioner who might be willing to serve, though. Mr. Brooks stated that he did not think that a Road Commissioner would be able to answer the same types of questions that an engineer like Mr. Assenmacher did in the past. Chairman Webb agreed with this. Mr. Brooks stated that Mr. Assenmacher would often come in with important questions regarding issues that even the Townships had missed in their rezoning reviews, and that these questions helped the Planning Commission with its recommendations.

Mr. Simmons stated that, when he spoke to Mr. Pierce at the Road Commission, Mr. Pierce stated that the new Chief Engineer might be willing to serve on the Planning Commission if it met earlier in the evening, so that he did not have to travel all the way back down to Perrysburg after he got out of work and then come back for the meeting. Mr. Brooks asked if the current time of the meeting is issue. Mr. Simmons stated that the possible time mentioned by Mr. Pierce was 5:30 p.m., which is much earlier than we meet now. Chairman Webb stated that she could see 6:00 p.m. but that 5:30 p.m. seems a bit early. Mr. Simmons stated that the time of the meeting is something that the Planning Commission and the Road Commission would need to come to an agreement on.

Chairman Webb asked Mrs. Mentel if she had issues with earlier meetings on the day of the Planning Commission meeting. Mrs. Mentel stated that there were no scheduling conflicts for her. Mr. Simmons stated that the name of the new Chief Engineer at the Road Commission is Matt Snell. Mr. Sperling asked what time Mr. Snell gets out of work. Mr. Simmons stated that he was told that the Road Commission employees actually finish working at 3:30 p.m., but that he imagined that if we had the meeting early enough then Mr. Snell might be able to stay after and get some extra work done before our meeting.

Mrs. Mentel asked if Mr. Snell would provide useful information, as some of the Road Commission representatives that we had in the past were useless. Mr. Simmons stated that Mr. Snell is the Chief Engineer like Mr. Assenmacher was, so that he should be able to provide useful information to the Planning Commission just as Mr. Assenmacher did. Mr. Sperling asked if there would be scheduling issues meeting earlier in the Courthouse than we currently do. Mr. Simmons stated that he was not aware of any other events that happened earlier in the evening at the Courthouse on the days of our meetings. Mr. Sperling and Mrs. Mentel both commented that the parking lot is full tonight, though. However, nobody present knew for certain why the parking lot might be full tonight except that there are police cars around.

Mr. McBee stated that he will talk to the Road Commission about the meeting time issue, and mentioned again that a Road Commission representative would need to be appointed by the County Administrator. Mr. Sperling also suggested speaking to Mr. Bosanac to see if there is an issue with meeting in this building earlier in the evening. Mr. McBee stated that there is a calendar available that he can look at in order to ensure that there is not a time conflict.

3. Planning Commission Application – Mr. McBee stated that he dug this out so that the Commissioners could see what the application consisted of. Mr. Simmons mentioned to Chairman Webb that he had not heard from Doug Darling about applying for the Planning Commission, and

5 that Chairman Webb had previously mentioned that he was interested in the vacancy. Chairman Webb stated that she would have to call him.

Mr. Brooks asked if he and Dr. Miller were reappointed to the Commission. Mr. Simmons stated that they were, and that he thought the reappointment letter was included in last month’s meeting agenda. Mr. Brooks stated that he had not seen anything about this. Mr. McBee stated that they were reappointed. Mr. Brooks stated that he saw the application in the agenda, and he was not sure if the Board was changing things so that he would now have to fill out an application. He asked if this was just for new applicants. Mr. Simmons stated that it was. Mr. Brooks asked if this was always a thing. Mr. McBee stated that it is not a requirement, but that this application might be necessary if there is more than one person interested in the position.

8. New Business: A. Consent Agenda

TOWNSHIP ZONING REVIEWS

200.1-11-18-32 Frenchtown Charter Township (map) This is an official request to change the zoning on a parcel totaling approximately 2.416 acres from PBO, Professional & Business Office District to C-3, General Business District. The purpose of the proposed rezoning is so that the applicant can provide leased commercial space. The parcel is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Lewis Avenue and Smith Road.

Recommendation: That the Monroe County Planning Commission advise the Bedford Township Board that it recommends approval of the proposed zoning change request, as the rezoning is in agreement with the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan and the Bedford Township Master Plan, and for the other reasons stated in Staff’s report.

200.1-11-18-33 Erie Township (map) This is an official request to change the zoning on a parcel totaling approximately 1.346 acres from PBO, Professional Business Office District to C-3, General Business District. The purpose for the rezoning has not been stated. The parcel is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Lewis Avenue and Smith Road.

Recommendation: That the Monroe County Planning Commission advise the Bedford Township Board that it recommends denial of the proposed zoning change request, as the site is in close proximity to single-family residences and should therefore remain zoned at its present designation of PBO, Professional and Business Office District, and for the other reasons stated in Staff’s report.

200.1-11-18-34 Whiteford Township (map) This is an official request to change the zoning on a parcel totaling approximately 8.71 acres from OS, Office Service District to C-3, Highway Commercial District. The purpose for the rezoning is to construct a climate-controlled self-storage facility. The parcel is located on the north side of Stewart Road east of the CSX railroad tracks.

Recommendation: That the Monroe County Planning Commission advise the Frenchtown Charter Township Board that it recommends denial of the proposed zoning change request, as the rezoning is not in agreement with the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan and the Frenchtown Charter Township Master Plan, is adjacent to incompatible residential land uses, and for the other reasons stated in Staff’s report.

6 200.1-11-18-35 Bedford Township (map) This is an official request to change the zoning on seven parcels totaling approximately 269.18 acres from A, Agricultural District and C-3, Highway Commercial District to LM, Light Manufacturing District. The purpose of the rezoning is to construct a regional warehousing facility on the site. The parcels are located southwest of the intersection of Newport Road and Telegraph Road at the former Nike missile site.

Recommendation: That the Monroe County Planning Commission advise the Frenchtown Charter Township Board that it recommends approval of the proposed zoning change request, as the rezoning is in agreement with the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan and the Monroe County Link Plan and is appropriate for this area of the County, and for the other reasons stated in Staff’s report.

FARMLAND REVIEWS

200.4-11-18-35 Milan Township (Owner: Heath, S. & J.) The property consists of a parcel totaling approximately 63.17 acres in size. It is located on the north side of Post Road east of Williams Road.

Recommendation: That the Monroe County Planning Commission approve this application for inclusion in the Farmland and Open Space Preservation Program because it is consistent with the intentions of Part 361 of Public Act 451 of 1994 (more commonly known as PA 116), and for the reasons stated in Staff’s report.

200.4-11-18-36 Milan Township (Owner: Heath, S. & J.) The property is a parcel portion totaling approximately 3.3 acres in size. It is located south of South Custer Road between Lewis Avenue and Sullivan Road. The applicant wishes to add on this parcel portion to an existing site to the east that is already in a farmland preservation agreement.

200.4-11-18-37 Milan Township (Owner: Heath, S. & J.) The property is a parcel portion totaling approximately 3.3 acres in size. It is located south of South Custer Road between Lewis Avenue and Sullivan Road.

It is located south of South Custer Road between Lewis Avenue and Sullivan Road. The applicant wishes to add on this parcel portion to an existing site to the east that is already in a farmland preservation agreement.

7 Mr. Simmons mentioned the correspondence from Bedford Township in the Summary of Amendments stating that the applicant wished to table Case 200.1-11-18-35. Mr. Sperling stated that he intends to mention removing this from the consent agenda in the motion that he is making.

Motion by Mr. Sperling, supported by Mr. Smith, to accept Staff’s recommendations on the Consent Agenda, but to scratch Case 200.1-11-18-35 from the Consent Agenda as the Township is requesting.

MOTION CARRIED

B. 2019 Meeting Notice – Chairman Webb pointed out the 2019 meeting dates were included in this month’s Agenda.

C. State Water Trail Designation Application – Mr. McBee stated that Mr. Bosanac forwarded correspondence to him regarding this application. He stated that Staff sat down with Annamarie Osment from Parks and Recreation regarding this application, and found that a lot of the necessary work for the application had already been completed by Rob Peven previously. He stated that Mr. Simmons has been updating the information to include in the application and that we are hoping to apply for designation by the deadline of November 15.

Mr. Simmons stated that we are applying for one section of our water trail network, which is the Central River Raisin section from the Raisinville Township site to Hellenberg Park. He stated that we did not have time to apply for more than this before the initial deadline, but that we are planning to apply for more of our trails to be designated eventually. He stated that Ms. Osment thought that this would be the best trail to apply for at the moment, and that we have received support from the City of Monroe for this application.

9. Budget & Finance A. October Finance Reports - Mr. McBee stated this is the appropriations report that we receive from the Finance Department. He stated that we should be around 83% this time of year, but we are only at around 67%, so we are significantly under budget. He pointed out that we are mostly under in the categories of Salary and Wages and Retirement and Health Insurance, and that this is mostly due to the staffing changes in the Department, with Mr. Peven going part-time and the director position having been previously budgeted. He stated that, while there are a few line items that are over budget, that there is no issue with going over our budget at all.

Mr. Sperling brought up the County approving raises for employees in next year’s budget and asked about the following year after that and whether the potential tax reduction from DTE was being considered. Mr. McBee stated that most of this is dealt with in the union contracts, which only go one year at a time, but that the County is well aware of the potential reduction. He asked if any of the excess money we have budgeted could be carried over to the following year. Mr. McBee stated that there is no carryover of this money. Mr. Sperling stated that he did not think that this was the case. Mr. McBee stated that they did approve a higher budget, though, but that excess money from the previous year goes back to the general fund.

B. 2019 Budget – Mr. McBee stated that this budget was approved at the last Board of Commissioners meeting. He stated that there were not many changes from what Mr. Peven had previously submitted. He stated that the Finance Department funds the items on the budget that are in the lighter font, but everything else is pretty much in line with what has been going on, and that the final approved budgeted amount is $344,964 for our Department, which is about $3,000 more than our 2018 budget. He stated that the largest change from 2018 is the Capital Outlay – Computers and Related Equipment item, which is what will be used for GIS equipment. He stated that Mr. Boudrie is working on quotes for equipment, but that the costs will probably not be near the $53,000 that was set aside in this line item.

8 Chairman Webb asked for a motion to accept the budget report. Motion by Mr. Brooks, supported by Mrs. Curley, to accept the 2019 Budget report. MOTION CARRIED

10. Committee Member's/Director's Report: A. Lake Erie Transit Commissioner Report – Dr. Miller stated that they are working on getting the contract in place for the new station over at Monroe City Hall. He stated that LET’s general manager was having a meeting with representatives from the City and also representatives from SMART, as SMART had some questions about the contracts. Dr. Miller stated that he heard this meeting was successfully done, but he is not sure when the contract will be signed and sent off to the State and to SMART. He stated that the LET Board is supposed to find out about this by their next meeting in December, but that he does not anticipate any problems.

He stated that other than this, business is as usual, and that there are slight fluctuations, but they are retaining their ridership. He stated that ridership often increases or decreases as gasoline prices fluctuate.

B. Monroe County Parks and Recreation Commission Update – Mrs. Mentel stated that they did not have a meeting in November. He stated that they will have one in December, and that is when the public hearing for the new Parks and Recreation Plan will take place.

C. Monroe County Road Commission Report – A representative from the Road Commission was not present to give a report. Mr. Simmons stated that Mr. Pierce told him that he would not be present at tonight’s meeting because he did not want to influence the Planning Commission’s decision regarding whether to appoint a replacement Road Commission representative on the Planning Commission. Chairman Webb stated that, based upon tonight’s discussion among the Commissioners, it seemed that the Planning Commission would like someone from within the Road Commission organization rather than somebody who sits on their Board due to the better information that a Road Commission employee has about the roads.

11. Other Items from Members

A. Mr. Smith stated, in reference to the discussion tonight regarding serving on both the Township Planning Commission and County Planning Commission, that Ida Township had a situation in the past where this was inquired about, but that they were informed that it was not allowed.

12. Next Meeting is scheduled for December 12, 2018 at 7:30 p.m.

13. Adjournment: Motion by Mr. Brooks, supported by Mr. Sperling, to adjourn the meeting. MOTION CARRIED The meeting concluded at 7:58 p.m.

Legislative news Water fee and solid waste tipping fees issues on tap

The Michigan Legislature will return for the “lame duck” session on November 27 and conclude on December 20. While it is likely that a multitude of bills will be taken up, there are two issues that SEMCOG is particularly involved in – the possible increase in water bills and solid waste tipping fees.

House Bill 5898 would impose a fee on all users of public water systems that serve over 1,000 users. Senate Bill 943 would increase tipping fees at landfills. Both bills come at the request of Governor Snyder and are targeted as his chief priority before he leaves office at the end of the year. The additional revenue is to be used to improve water systems and solid waste management programs.

Both bills offer challenges to local government operations. The water fee bill must be properly structured to meet constitutional questions; the final use of the new revenues is critical to the support or opposition from local government groups, including SEMCOG. The tipping fee legislation offers challenges based on who must bear the financial cost of the increased fee. Depending on how a local community handles its solid waste, it could range from impacting individual households, to being funded directly out of a municipality’s general fund budget.

SEMCOG is working with other local government groups and the governor’s office to structure an acceptable program.

A seasonal "roundabout" in New Baltimore.

Legislative news A lot of quacking is happening during the Lame Duck session

Legislators have returned for the final weeks of this legislative session and, for many, the final weeks of their legislative careers. The legislature is expected to consider hundreds of bills before they adjourn just before Christmas.

Several issues of note for those interested in local government operations will be debated in the coming days. The first issue to come up in the lame duck session involved tree ordinances and other vegetation. SB 1188, and companion bills, were introduced to prohibit local governments from regulating trees and other vegetation on nonresidential property. SEMCOG testified against the legislation based on the broad impact of the bills. Many communities have tree ordinances to increase the tree canopy in their community as well as to integrate green space concepts within their ordinances in order to deal with buffering between properties as well as using natural areas to deal with stormwater. Many of these concepts would likely have been prohibited under the legislation as proposed. Through the combined efforts of SEMCOG MML, MTA, MAP and all of our communities that responded to our alerts the legislation has been altered. There is still concern that the new language will change basic concepts of the planning approval process for local governments. 15 https://smcg.informz.net/informzdataservice/onlineversion/pub/bWFpbGluZ0luc3RhbmNlSWQ9ODE0NDI4OA== 1/5 12/4/2018 Regional Update Numerous other pieces of legislation impacting local governments will likely be taken up in the next few weeks. HB 5898 would establish an annual fee for homes and businesses that use public water systems. The fee would be used by the state to deal with significant water issues. SEMCOG again opposes the legislation as written and has been working with other local government groups to modify the legislation. SB 943 increases the tipping fee that is charged by landfills in the state to generate money to clean up brownfields and fund recycling programs. SEMCOG will oppose the legislation if it is not reworked to deal with the impacts on local government budgets.

SB 637 would open up the rights-of-way for the cable and telecommunications industry for 5G implementation. SEMCOG opposed the legislation because it adds much more chaos to the already crowded public easement area without taking into account the concepts of coordinated infrastructure.

SEMCOG is supporting HB 4290 and SB 756. Both bills deal with stormwater issues. HB 4290 would amend the statutes to clarify under what circumstances a community could be held liable for damages related to a major rainfall event. Millions of dollars are being spent debating whether a community has immunity from lawsuits. SB 756 gives better definition on the ability of local governments to change fees to maintain and improve stormwater systems.

These are just a select few of the bills that will be debated between now and December 20. Look for more information in the December 17 issue of Regional Update.

Harmful algal blooms have a financial impact on the fishing industry and on tourism in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan, but there is also a large cost to municipalities operating water treatment plants. Testing for microcystin, treating the water with chemicals, and investing in data collectors are major expenses for cities.

In the City of Toledo, the director of public utilities provided these estimates to date:

• Approximately $800,000 per year in additional chemicals to treat algae • $5.7 million in chemical feed infrastructure upgrades • $400,000 for buoy system to provide early warnings of microcystin • $172,000 in testing equipment/reagents

The City of Toledo’s plans for the future include an ozone treatment facility ($53 million in year 2020), and biologically active filters ($19 million in 2022).

The City of Oregon has made the following investments:

• Upgrades to chemical feed equipment and biological active filtration, and $15 million for an ozone treatment system. Ozone systems are expensive to install and require specialized knowledge to operate but are more effective than chlorine when it comes to disinfection. Another advantage of ozone is that it does not add chemicals to the water and has a short reaction time.

Bacteria, viruses, metals, and other material will always be present in surface water. Current efforts to supply abundant safe drinking water include water treatment, and also proactive measures to keep pollutants out of the water in the first place, including reducing nutrients such as phosphorus which feed algal blooms.

Transportation Congestion Management Process

TMACOG analyzes traffic congestion and its causes on a regular basis. Traffic that flows smoothly is safer, saves gasoline, and reduces air pollution. In general, traffic in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan is much less prone to traffic jams than other parts of the country. However, there are significant bottlenecks that can be improved. In the TMACOG region, the greatest delays in terms of time and money occur on arterial and collector highways as opposed to freeways and expressways. In terms of travel speeds and travel times, the freeways in the TMACOG region are experiencing congestion only for a couple hours of the day. The regional transportation system moves rather efficiently and is reliable.

See the draft Congestion Management Process report here. Maps and charts show where and when traffic tie-ups are most likely in our region. A summary describes capacity-building steps, 21 http://www.tmacog.org/BP_18/12_18/12_18_newsletter.htm 3/6 12/4/2018 TMACOG December 2018 Edition Big Picture Newsletter possible sources of funding, and implications for TMACOG’s long range and short range transportation plans.

When commuters in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan travel to work, more than 85 percent drive a car and drive alone. This is above state and national averages. The Congestion Management Process (CMP) provides information on how to reduce that percentage as a primary attack on congestion. If the number of people driving alone can be reduced, then the congestion levels will be reduced.

The first step to reduce congestion is for commuters to use alternative modes: carpooling, public transit, or cycling. When commuters are carpooling and roadways are still experiencing delays, engineering measures to alleviate the congestion are appropriate. Most solutions in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan will involve improvements to public transportation system, improved ridesharing and multimodal transportation options, and other non-construction changes to reduce vehicle miles traveled thereby increasing the capacity of existing roadways.

Toledo to Detroit by Rail

TMACOG and the City of Toledo are partnering to conduct a study of the feasibility of restoring passenger rail connections between Toledo and Detroit. The study will examine possible routes, address likely capital and operating costs, and estimate potential ridership.

The plan is to hire Alexander Metcalf, PhD, president of Transportation Economics & Management Systems, Inc. (TEMS). Dr. Metcalf recently completed a study on the possibility for passenger trains running between Ann Arbor and Traverse City. The Toledo-Detroit study would be similar. Discussions are still preliminary and there is no timeline to complete the study. Details should be firm within a few months. The City of Toledo has http://www.tmacog.org/BP_18/12_18/12_18_newsletter.htm 22 4/6 12/4/2018 TMACOG December 2018 Edition Big Picture Newsletter allocated $30,000 and the balance of $20,000 will come from TMACOG funds allocated for transportation research.

The last time rails connected Toledo and Detroit was 1995 when Amtrak cancelled service that had offered a round trip once per day.

Perrysburg Intersection Receives National Recognition

On October 30, ODOT announced that the Diverging Diamond Interchange at State Route 25 at I-475 in Perrysburg has won the America’s Transportation Awards competition for Operations Excellence in the Small Category (less than $25 million) in the mid-America region.

The competition is sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, AAA, Socrata, and AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials). The DDI was Ohio’s only award winner in the competition this year.

The DDI design improved traffic flow and efficiency while increasing safety. It was also built on the existing bridge which kept construction costs down. The $8.5 million project was partially funded with $3.3 million of Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds awarded and managed by TMACOG.

Jeffery Boudrie, GIS Specialist Monroe County Community Planning & Engagement 125 E Second St Monroe MI 48161

Re: ArcGIS Enterprise Enhancements

Jeff, This letter proposal is in regard to our recent conversation about InfoGeographics, Inc. (IGI) providing professional support for Monroe County in their Geographic Information Systems (GIS) initiatives. IGI looks forward to assisting Monroe County to plan for and implement needed enhancements to the GIS infrastructure and applications. Hence, this project will optimize, support, and effectively drive the growth and evolution in the use of enterprise GIS data and technology at the County. Monroe County currently has one ArcGIS Enterprise server located in the DMZ. This services a few internal web mapping applications and desktop users. Presently, there is no public facing web mapping application from the ArcGIS Enterprise server or ArcGIS Online (AGO). There are approximately five ArcGIS Desktop licenses and two editors. Connectivity problems have been occurring, probably based on the current location of the server. Monroe County would like this project to perform these key tasks at a minimum. • Specify and implement the ArcGIS Enterprise server within the network and behind the firewall. • Assistance to develop and deploy a public facing web mapping application. • Knowledge transfer for administration of the ArcGIS Enterprise and web mapping application(s). All of these tasks will be performed in close collaboration with Monroe County GIS and IT staff. Hence, upon notice to proceed, a project team will be formed with an official Project Manager for Monroe County and IGI selected as the primary channels of communication. The following work scope and time/resource estimates present the details of the project efforts, with figures for miscellaneous support enumerated at the end.

InfoGeographics, Inc. 310 W Front St, Ste 225, Traverse City MI 49684 (231) 995-8266 www.infogeographics.com

29 Task 1: ArcGIS Enterprise Enhancements InfoGeographics recommends a logical path to putting the necessary enhancements in place. In this case, IGI is proposing to: A) perform valuable research, B) produce recommendations & specifications, and implement that solution, and D) train Monroe County staff on the administration of the newly reconfigured system. The following subtasks outline these steps.

Task 1a: Research & Recommendations This first phase will set the stage for the enterprise infrastructure improvements. To begin, there will be an initial sharing of salient documentation regarding the current system and instituting VPN connectivity for IGI staff to the Monroe County network and remote desktop access to the existing ArcGIS Enterprise server. Following this, a virtual meeting will be conducted via Skype or an equivalent to formally start the research efforts and form the recommendations necessary to frame the specification and implementation efforts. This meeting could be conducted onsite at Monroe County’s discretion, though performing this virtually is intended to realize cost savings in travel time/expenses for the County. The following are some of the key factors IGI will address with Monroe County GIS and IT staff. ➢ System Infrastructure – detailed knowledge regarding network topology, security/firewalls/proxy servers, the DMZ, the existing GIS server(s), and any other system-related features of the infrastructure that are necessary. ➢ GIS Database Infrastructure – will address the state of the enterprise database repository at a high level; including platform, format, content, currency, operational functionality (such as stored procedures, etc), and maintenance processes relating to the existing geospatial databases. ➢ GIS Application Infrastructure – will examine the primary GIS application system including ArcGIS Enterprise/Server (AGS) and other software use. Existing web mapping applications and web/map services used with desktop, mobile, and other resources will be highlighted. Any use or potential use of ArcGIS Online (AGO), Portal for ArcGIS, Esri’s Identity/Named Users pattern, and migration to ArcGIS Pro as an authoring platform will be discussed and identified. Following IGI’s analysis of this information, a virtual meeting will be conducted with the project team to go over the findings, discuss alternatives, and agreed upon overarching directions and recommendations. A relatively short document outlining the results of the analysis and recommendations to carry forward will be produced by IGI and delivered to the Monroe County Project Manager. Following a one to two- week review period, consolidated comments will be transmitted to IGI, and based

InfoGeographics, Inc. 310 W Front St, Ste 225, Traverse City MI 49684 (231) 995-8266 www.infogeographics.com

30 upon any follow-up discussion, agreed upon comments will be incorporated into the document, and a final delivery to Monroe County will occur. The chosen recommendations and decisions will then be used to develop necessary specifications that will guide the implementation efforts as described in the next task.

Task 1b: Specification & Implementation Using the selection of recommendations and guidance regarding the ArcGIS Enterprise enhancements, this phase will build specifications and then work with Monroe County GIS and IT staff to implement them. Because of the unknown nature of the results of Task 1a, IGI is estimating these efforts based on simply migrating Monroe County’s current resources into the internal environment and opening up communications to AGO and outside web mapping applications. If there are recommendations and decisions selected that go beyond this, there will be additional resources necessary to accomplish them. Examples of this might be going from a one-tier system (single server) to a two-tier system (one database server and one web-app server), implementing Portal for ArcGIS along with the ramifications of Identity/Named Users and utilization of ArcGIS Pro, or other system alternatives that are uncovered. Hence, IGI reserves the right to revisit this task and allocated resources based on the results of Task 1a. Given that, specifications will be developed to guide the implementation efforts in the following basic areas. • Network system resources; such as IIS, reverse proxy (if deemed needed), firewall settings, IP considerations, security considerations. • Server specifications and configuration details. • ArcGIS Enterprise configuration details. A basic implementation plan will also be developed that outlines the order of steps to perform the implementation. Once Monroe County has reviewed and approved of the specifications and plan, the implementation of the enhanced system will commence. IGI staff will work closely with Monroe County staff to perform the implementation tasks and then test the new system until it is working properly. This will include both internal access to applications and desktop resources, and external access for use with external web mapping sites and integration with AGO. Once Monroe County approves of the system delivery, training for administrators can proceed.

Task 1c: ArcGIS Enterprise Training InfoGeographics will provide useful training for Monroe County staff to administer and maintain the ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. Please note again, if the chosen system InfoGeographics, Inc. 310 W Front St, Ste 225, Traverse City MI 49684 (231) 995-8266 www.infogeographics.com

31 and capabilities differ from the basic tenants described previously, there may be a change in scope and necessary resources for this task. The examples of moving from a 1 to 2-tier system, the potential use of Portal for ArcGIS/ArcGIS Pro, or other implementation factors hold true here as well. The following is a description of the training proposed, which is estimated to be performed virtually utilizing Skype or the equivalent. If Monroe County wishes to have this course performed onsite, this can be arranged, but this is not being proposed here for cost efficiency purposes. The proposed training session(s) will also utilize Monroe County’s enhanced deployment of ArcGIS Enterprise so participants can gain experience on the system they will be working with for day to day activities. These classes will be informal in nature with minimal classroom materials and will be designed to review enterprise GIS administration and web mapping concepts and procedures in the context of Monroe County’s ArcGIS Enterprise enhancements. In general, this class will be divided into three sections: lecture, Q&A, and supervised use of the pertinent software/database. This will allow Monroe County staff to rapidly review the basics, ask questions, and then put the enterprise system to work. ArcGIS Enterprise Administration & Web Mapping Training - IGI will conduct ArcGIS Enterprise focused web mapping administration training for up to 3 senior GIS and possibly IT staff. It is assumed that Monroe County staff attending the training will have basic familiarity with web mapping technology and Monroe County’s current computing environment. Training will be presented in an incremental format that will enable Monroe County staff to manage and build upon ArcGIS Enterprise and the web mapping system. The enhanced ArcGIS Enterprise deployment at Monroe County will be referenced and used in the training sessions as deemed feasible and useful. The basic outline of topics for the training is as follows: • System Overview • ArcGIS Enterprise Implementation Overview • ArcGIS Enterprise Administration and Management • Creating ArcGIS Enterprise GIS Services • Best practices for optimizing maps such as creating tiles, determining when layers should be their own map services or if multiple services should be created for grouping data, etc. IGI is estimating this class to be accomplished over up to two (2) days of sessions.

32 Task 2: ArcGIS Online Public Viewer Implementation & Training There are two basic choices to develop web mapping applications in ArcGIS Online (AGO). These are 1) through the use of application templates, or 2) utilizing Web AppBuilder. InfoGeographics experience is that using the Esri supplied templates require a deeper understanding of web mapping/ArcGIS Enterprise technology and more advanced programming skills. Web AppBuilder on the other hand, is much more user friendly, especially for the beginning and novice user, and works more on a “configuration” basis. It is IGI’s recommendation that Monroe County start out learning and working with Web AppBuilder, and then if deeper levels of knowledge and the use of specific templates are desired, there will be a background and experience useful for more advanced training and development. However, if Monroe County wishes to utilize the available templates, IGI can modify this training task to address this direction. That said, and given the use of Web AppBuilder, IGI will work with Monroe County staff to build basic and succinct functional descriptions and specifications for a public facing AGO web mapping application. Utilizing Web AppBuilder, this web mapping application will be HTML5 based, and its responsive design will support various devices such as desktop, tablet, and smartphone. IGI will utilize the capabilities and features of AGO and Web AppBuilder to build this web mapping application, supported by services authored with the enhanced ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. A primary intention of the development will be to minimize any customization of the viewer or server-side processing. Essentially, the web mapping application will be developed “out of the box” as much as possible. The web mapping site to be developed is: Monroe County Public GIS Viewer – an external site based upon the functional specification that is jointly developed with Monroe County. Basic data layers such as parcel, roads, aerials, etc as available and selected will be integrated. Common functions for a public viewer such as displaying parcel information, measuring, switching base maps, etc, will be developed. IGI proposes to combine the development of this site with training on ArcGIS Online and Web AppBuilder. Monroe County staff would basically sit in and follow along with IGI staff during the configuration of the viewer, and even practice tasks and aspects of the configuration as it makes sense. While there are no formal training materials estimated for this training, an outline of the process will be developed and help to guide Monroe County staff during the effort and provide a means to take notes. This task is being estimated based upon a general idea of what is desired for these web mapping sites. The specifications and functional descriptions developed in the previous tasks of this project will determine the actual effort to develop these sites. As such, IGI

InfoGeographics, Inc. 310 W Front St, Ste 225, Traverse City MI 49684 (231) 995-8266 www.infogeographics.com

33 reserves the right to revisit and/or modify this task once the previous tasks are complete to adjust for any requirements that affect the scope of work and effort. IGI is assuming remote access to the necessary servers for this task. There are no onsite visits estimated for this task at this time. Estimated Project Schedule To accomplish this project, InfoGeographics estimates an approximate 2-3 month timeframe after a notice to proceed. Every effort will be made to accelerate this schedule whenever possible to address critical needs or scheduling demands.

37 38 Agenda Item 8A C O N S E N T A G E N D A Monroe County Planning Commission Regular Meeting – December 12, 2018

CASE NUMBER TOWNSHIP ZONING REVIEWS

200-1-11-18-35 Bedford Township (map) This is an official request to change the zoning on a parcel portion totaling approximately 2.79 acres from R-2A, One-Family Residential District to C-3, General Business District. The purpose of the proposed rezoning is to split off two new commercial lots from the overall parcel. The parcel is located near the southeast corner of Secor Road and Sterns Road.

Recommendation: That the Monroe County Planning Commission advise the Bedford Township Board that it recommends approval of the proposed zoning change request, as Staff believes that the rezoning is not in disagreement with the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan, that the rezoning is in agreement with adjacent commercial land uses, and for the other reasons stated above.

41 TOWNSHIP PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Bedford Township Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning at a meeting held on October 24, 2018.

APPLICABLE PLANS AND POLICIES Monroe County Comprehensive Plan (2009) – Commercial/Residential Bedford Township Master Plan (2015) – Mixed-Use

REQUEST This is an official request to change the zoning on a parcel portion totaling approximately 2.79 acres from R-2A, One-Family Residential District to C-3, General Business District. The purpose of the proposed rezoning is to split off two new commercial lots from the overall parcel.

EXISTING & PROPOSED ZONING The R-2A, One-Family Residential District is intended to provide predominantly low-density, one- family detached dwellings along with residentially related facilities. The minimum lot size in this District is 10,000 square feet, with a minimum lot width of 80 feet. Principal uses permitted include one-family detached dwellings, public libraries and recreation facilities, schools, family day care homes, pools and other accessory buildings. Uses subject to special approval include churches, child care centers, group day care homes, private recreation facilities, and private stables and kennels.

The C-3, General Business District is intended for sites serving diversified business types incompatible with the pedestrian movement expected in the C-1 or C-2 districts. Principal uses permitted include hotels or motels, veterinary clinics, bowling alleys, tire sales, pool halls, new car sales, drive-in stores, mortuary establishments and child care centers. Uses permitted by special approval include all outdoor sales facilities, plant nurseries, car washes, gas stations, propane stations, mini-warehouses, automobile repair, fireworks and adult entertainment businesses.

SURROUNDING USES To the north of the site, across Sterns Road, are commercial uses near the intersection of Sterns and Secor, and single-family residences further away from the intersection. To the east of the site there is vacant land. To the south of the site are commercial land uses and condominiums. To the west of the site is vacant land that is zoned commercially that is not developed yet, as well as commercial properties located along Secor Road.

RELATIONSHIP TO PUBLIC PLANS AND POLICIES The site has access to both public water and public sewer service. Sterns Road is a two-lane minor arterial road at the location of the site that widens to three lanes as it approaches the intersection with Secor Road. It has an average daily traffic volume of approximately 12,400 vehicles at the location of the site. Secor Road is a five-lane minor arterial road at the location of the site. It has an average daily traffic volume of approximately 13,000 vehicles at the location of the site.

The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates this area of the County on the border of a Commercial and Residential designation, with commercial uses designated along Secor Road and along Sterns close to the Secor Road intersection, but with residential uses to the west of the

42 intersection. The proposed rezoning may or may not be in agreement with the County Plan, depending upon how the Future Land Use Map is interpreted.

The Bedford Township Master Plan designates the property as Mixed Use. The rezoning would be in agreement with the Township Master Plan as long as there are actually mixed land uses within this designated area, which would be the case if the eastern portion of the parcel is eventually developed residentially.

PLANNING ANALYSIS The applicant’s site is a parcel of about 23 acres that is located near the intersection of Sterns Road and Secor Road. The western 4.1 acres of the parcel is already zoned as C-3, General Business, while the remaining 18.9 acres to the east is presently zoned as R-2A, One-Family Residential. The applicant is seeking to rezone an additional 2.79 acres of the particle to C-3, General Business so that about 6.89 acres of the parcel would be zoned commercially. This would allow the applicant to create two commercial parcels of greater than 3 acres each on the property, leaving an area slightly greater than 16 acres that would still be zoned residentially located to the east.

The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan designates this property as either Commercial or Residential depending upon one’s interpretation of the Future Land Use Map. The County’s Future Land Use Map does not distinguish individual parcels, and the Map designates the area adjacent to the Secor Road/Sterns Road intersection as Commercial, with land to the east of this intersection designated as Residential. It is unclear how far east from the intersection the Commercial designation extends, however, leaving it up to individual interpretation whether this area of the parcel that the applicant wishes to rezone lies within the Commercial designation on the map or the Residential designation.

Because of this unclear designation, Staff believes that the County Planning Commission should carefully look at this parcel portion and its adjacent land uses in order to determine whether extending the C-3 zoning would be appropriate for this property.

Land uses to the west are already zoned as C-3, General Business. The condominiums to the south are zoned RM-1, Multiple Family Residential as part of a Planned Unit Development. While this multiple family residential zoning may be problematic in certain circumstances, these uses are presently screened by a large number of trees. Because of this existing screening, Staff believes that placing a C-3 commercial use on the subject site may not be as disruptive as it would be in other cases where such a use is adjacent to residential properties.

The land to the north is both commercial and residential land, but is located on the other side of Sterns Road. Finally, to the east of the rezoned area is undeveloped land that is part of the existing parcel. If this rezoning is approved and this vacant land is eventually developed residentially, we would recommend heavy screening and landscaping for these residential properties from any potential commercial land uses that would result from this present rezoning request if it is approved.

It is important to note that the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan does not distinguish between different types of commercial intensities on its Future Land Use Map, with one all-encompassing category of Commercial indicated on the Map. Staff’s opinion is that, unless there is a clear land use conflict between a commercial use and a nearby residential use, it is best to let the Township decide

43 exactly what type and intensity of commercial uses that it would like to place into areas of the County designated as Commercial on the County’s Future Land Use Map. The C-3 category is the most intense commercial zoning category in Bedford Township. However, if C-3 uses are properly screened and landscaped, we see little potential land use conflict with adjacent residential properties. While it may be safer to place a less intense C-1 or C-2 use on this property in order to preserve transitional zoning between the more intense C-3 uses to the west and the residential uses to the south and potentially to the east, we feel that, so long as the Township properly follows its regulations and adequately screens C-3 uses that are adjacent to residential uses, that there should not be a conflict between these land uses.

As the property is located near one of the busiest intersections in the County at Sterns Road and Secor Road, it would make logical sense to take advantage of this site’s location and rezone it commercially. However, Staff cautions against allowing too much commercial development along Sterns Road, as, while Sterns is heavily trafficked, it is a two-lane road with residential uses located along most of the road. The applicant had originally sought to commercially zone an additional parcel along Sterns Road to the east, but instead decided to amend his request based upon advice from the Bedford Township Planning Commission. Staff supports this recommendation from the Township Planning Commission, and believes that commercial zoning along Sterns Road should extend no further than what is proposed in the applicant’s amended request. And, while we would prefer a less intense zoning category than the C-3 zoning that is currently proposed, Staff ultimately does not have an issue with this zoning so long as this newly created commercial area of the parcel is sufficiently screened from adjacent residential uses so as to not create a nuisance.

Finally, Staff also cautions that, because much of this site is located in the 100-year flood zone, it is important to construct any future commercial buildings outside of the flood zone if possible. If buildings are constructed in the flood zone, then it is important to properly elevate them higher than the base flood elevation in order to protect them from any potential flood events.

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Monroe County Planning Commission advise the Bedford Township Board that it recommends approval of the proposed zoning change request, as Staff believes that the rezoning is not in disagreement with the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan, that the rezoning is in agreement with adjacent commercial land uses, and for the other reasons stated above.
