I. Chair Hoenig called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Present: Dailey, Friedrich, Hoenig, Horgan, Irwin, Kostrzewa, Liesch, Ortman, Rise.
Staff: Kain, Murphy
II. Approval of Agenda:
Motion by Dailey, support by Friedrich, to approve the agenda.
Motion approved unanimously.
III. Approval of Minutes
A. August 1, 2019 Regular Meeting
Motion by Dailey, support by Friedrich, to approve the minutes from the August 1, 2019 regular meeting as submitted.
Motion approved unanimously.
IV. Zoning Board of Appeals Report for August:
Commissioner Friedrich reported that the ZBA had two cases in August. In the first case, Urgent Care Express at 520 N. Mission, was seeking a variance to the sign standards to install a band sign in a gable feature above their entrance due to limited space above or near the entrance to their business. The Zoning Board found that, though there is enough room above the door to install a sign, the roof overhang limits the visibility of the sign from the street, therefore the variance was granted in a split decision.
In the second case a resident, Patricia Lyon, 1111 W. Pickard, installed a fence around her yard after obtaining a zoning permit; however, it was later discovered that the fence was built on top of a retaining wall resulting in the overall height exceeding the 4-foot and 6-foot limits. The Zoning Board found that the unique topography of her property was sufficient grounds to grant the variance in a unanimous decision.
V. Communications:
Kain reported that there were four communications included in the packet: Laura Cochrane regarding M- 20; Kay Ashworth, regarding Z-19-02; Doug Struble regarding SUP-19-11; and Mary Harper, regarding SUP-19-11.

VI. Public Hearings:
A. SUP-19-08 & SPR-19-12 – 904 E. Pickard
Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 2
Kain introduced case SUP-19-08 & SPR-19-12 submitted by Dorchen/Martin Associates, Inc. on behalf of McDonald’s, to modify the parking lot and add a second queue line for the existing drive-through restaurant.
Kain noted that the site has been occupied by McDonald’s for several decades and has frontage on three streets: E. Pickard, Palmer, and N. Mission. Kain reviewed the zoning and other characteristics of the subject property and the current use, zoning, and future land use of adjacent properties.
Kain shared photos of current conditions on the site, along with renderings of the proposed façade.
Kain noted that the use is a permitted use in the CD-4 zoning district with a special use permit and reviewed the special use conditions that are relevant to this request, noting that the plan is consistent with these conditions.
Kain shared the proposed site plan, and changes to the façade, noting that the project involves a minor reconfiguration to the parking to accommodate the second queue line. Kain noted that there are some existing non-conforming setbacks on the property. Kain also noted that the applicant has proposed 10 bicycle parking spaces; however, four exceed the maximum distance from the principal entrance and a condition has been included in the staff recommendation of approval to address this. Kain added that there are some adjustments to the proposed landscaping plan that will be necessary to meet the minimum standards for the district that has also been included as a condition in the staff recommendation.
Kain concluded his report, recommending approval with the conditions noted.
Frank Martin, Dorchen/Martin Associates, Inc., addressed the Board.
Commissioner Kostrzewa and Commissioner Irwin expressed concerns with the entrance off Palmer Street and traffic congestion with the proposed layout. Mr. Martin commented that the proposed configuration will provide more efficiency, and reduce stacking. The layout also adds stacking between the order stations and the payment/receiving windows. In addition, a third window will be added for special orders. Martin added that the three property frontages and drive-through requirements were significant layout challenges.
Commissioner Dailey asked for clarification on the designated walkways shown on the plan. Martin indicated that they corresponded with ADA routes from the parking area.
Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Motion by Liesch, support by Rise, to approve SUP-19-08 and SPR-19-12 subject to the following conditions:
1. Ten bicycle parking spaces shall be provided meeting the specifications of the Planning & Community Development Department. 2. All site lighting must conform to Section 96.13 of Mount Pleasant City Code. 3.

Kain introduced case SUP-19-09 submitted by Alyssa Brittain to allow a short-term rental in the existing two-family dwelling located at 1026 and 1026 ½ S. Fancher.
Kain reviewed the zoning and other characteristics of the subject property and the current use, zoning, and future land use of adjacent properties.
Kain noted that the dwelling is owner-occupied and shared an overview and photos of the site.
Kain reviewed the nine criteria for short term rentals, noting that the request meets 8 of the 9. He explained that the first criteria rests on a determination by the Planning Commission and has been noted as such.
Kain concluded his report recommending approval with the condition that the applicant comply with the requirements of the Division of Public Safety.
Alyssa Brittain, owner of the property, addressed the Board. Ms. Brittain commented that she and her husband will be living on the larger side and will use the smaller side as their short term rental.
Commissioner Friedrich asked how long they have owned the property. Ms. Brittain responded that they took ownership on June 15, 2019. She also noted that both sides of the two-family dwelling were licensed for rentals.
Commissioner Rise asked the applicant if they would have purchased the home if they were required to keep one side owner-occupied. Ms. Brittain responded that they likely would not have.
Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Motion by Liesch, support by Kostrzewa, to approve SUP-19-09 subject to the following condition:
1. The applicant shall comply with the requirements of the Division of Public Safety.
Motion approved unanimously.

Kain introduced case SUP-19-10 & SPR-19-13 submitted by Washington Village LLC to construct a two- unit rooming dwelling for 9 occupants.
Kain noted that the Planning Commission previously approved this project in June 2018. Kain shared photos of the site that is currently under construction under that approval.
Kain reviewed the zoning and other characteristics of the subject property and the current use, zoning, and future land use of adjacent properties.
Kain reported that the main change is a proposed reconfiguration of the parking area. In addition, the applicant has reconfigured the front entrance and eliminated a proposed walkway along the south of the
Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 4
building. Kain reported that there are also some proposed changes in the landscaping to accommodate installation of the site’s drainage system.
Kain reported that the use as a rooming dwelling is permitted with a special use permit in the CD-4 zoning district. Kain reviewed the conditions that are imposed as a special use as well as the site plan review requirements, noting that the plan meets all of the conditions.
Kain concluded his report recommending approval with the condition that the applicant comply with requirements of the Divisions of Public Works and Public Safety.
Tim Bebee, Central Michigan Surveying & Development, addressed the Board as representative for the applicant.
Commissioner Friedrich questioned why the applicant wanted to change the parking configuration. Mr. Bebee responded that the owner prefers to not use stacked parking when possible.
Commissioner Ortman asked why the applicant was proposing to eliminate the walkway. Bebee commented that the porch stairs were also proposed to be located from the side to the front of the porch, eliminating the need for the walkway. He further noted that the walkway might encourage traffic from non-tenants and that the stair reconfiguration to the front created a more family home appearance.
Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Motion by Rise, support by Kostrzewa, to approve SUP-19-10 and SPR-19-13 subject to the following condition:
1. The applicant shall comply with the requirements of the Divisions of Public Works and Public Safety.
Motion approved unanimously.
D. SUP-19-11 & SPR-19-14 – 520 S. Fancher
Kain introduced case SUP-19-11 & SPR-19-14 submitted by Tori McConnell to allow a group day care home for up to 12 children at 520 S. Fancher.
Kain reviewed the zoning and other characteristics of the subject property and the current use, zoning, and future land use of adjacent properties.
Kain noted that the site is currently a family day care home for the care of up to six children, which is permitted by right in this district. Kain shared photos of the site, along with the floor plan for the home, noting that the only site work proposed is fencing consistent with the special use permit requirements for this use.
Kain reviewed the special use criteria for group day care homes, noting that the proposal meets all requirements. Kain noted that the site has an in ground pool and the Building Official has recommended that approval be contingent upon providing pool barriers which comply with current building code standards.
Kain concluded his report, recommending approval with the conditions noted.
Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 5
Commissioner Irwin asked about the requirement for pool barriers. Kain noted that the Michigan Building Code has specific requirements regarding fences, gates, and entry from the home to assure that access to a pool area is controlled.
Commissioner Friedrich asked if the special use permit stays with the property. Kain noted that it would. If the applicant moved the daycare to another location a new special use permit would be required.
Tori McConnell addressed the Board, noting she was the owner of the daycare.
Commissioner Kostrzewa expressed concerns with the pool, questioning how deep was the pool, what type of barriers would be in place and if Ms. McConnell was certified as a lifeguard. McConnell responded that the pool was 9 ft. deep at the deep end and at one time she was certified as a lifeguard but currently is not; however, her current helper is life guard certified. McConnell also explained the type of barriers that would be in place.
McConnell further commented that they rarely use the yard as they are on the go a lot with the kids. Kain noted that the code requires a certain amount of play area that is fenced in. He noted that this does not mean the children cannot play in other areas.
Commissioner Friedrich asked how many people would be employed. McConnell responded that the state requires one employee for every six children so there would be two people at all times.
Commissioner Dailey questioned the parking availability. McConnell stated that drop off and pick up is possible curbside or utilizing the driveway.
Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Motion by Liesch, support by Friedrich, to approve SUP-19-11 and SPR-19-14 subject to the following conditions:
1. All pool barriers will be brought into compliance with the current requirements of the Michigan Building Code. 2. A certificate of occupancy shall be issued prior to operation. 3. The group day care home shall be inspected annually by the Building Official and Fire Marshal for compliance with current codes.
Commissioner Kostrzewa asked who would inspect to assure that the pool barriers were in compliance. Kain responded that the Building Official would conduct an initial inspection and annual inspections thereafter. He further noted that the daycare would also be subject to State inspections.
Chair Hoenig called for a vote on the motion.
Motion approved unanimously.
E. Z-19-02 – McGuirk Subdivision, Lots 1-10
Kain introduced Z-19-02. Kain reminded the Board that this subdivision was platted in 1982 at which time deed restrictions were recorded which require that two-family dwellings be constructed on each lot.
Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 6
Kain noted that the subdivision was zoned R-3 Residential under the prior zoning map and transitioned to CD-3, the equivalent district, under the current zoning map.
Kain noted that he had recently learned of the deed restrictions and determined that it may be more appropriate for these lots to be zoned CD-4, consistent with the manner in which other properties are zoned throughout the City. The CD-4 district permits two-family dwellings by right. Because the CD-4 also permits non-residential uses, the proposed rezoning would include a Residential/Dwelling Use Only Special Requirement to prohibit non-residential uses.
Commissioner Rise commented that there are two-family dwellings in the adjacent neighborhood and questioned what was different in character with this neighborhood. Kain commented that the principal distinction is the vacant lots whereas the adjacent neighborhood is already developed. The proposed rezoning would eliminate the need to obtain a special use permit for two-family dwellings that this neighborhood was developed to contain.
Commissioner Rise asked if the setbacks and glazing requirements were different in the CD-4 and the CD-3 districts. Kain responded they were and reviewed those differences.
Commissioner Kostrzewa questioned whether a residential/dwelling use requirement was necessary. Kain commented that the Planning Commission could recommend approval without that restriction if they wished.
Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing.
Pat McGuirk, owner of several lots in the subdivision, provided some history on the property and spoke in favor of the rezoning.
Randy Golden, Realtor, spoke in favor of the rezoning.
Kain commented that while rezoning requests are typically brought to the Planning Commission by the property owner, in this case staff initiated the request. Prior to bringing forward for consideration, staff sent letters to the property owners to solicit input.
Motion by Liesch, support by Kostrzewa, to recommend that the City Commission rezone the properties described as McGuirk Subdivision, Lots 1-10 from CD-3 to CD-4 with a Residential/Dwelling Use Only Special Requirement.
Commissioner Rise commented that she is reluctant to support the rezoning as she believes this is a band- aid to fix the real problem, which she feels is the owner-occupied requirements for new two-family dwellings in the CD-3 district. She expressed concern over rezoning the area to CD-4 when other adjacent properties are zoned CD-3 and expressed concern over the differences between the CD-3 and CD-4 building standards. She noted that she would support the rezoning to give immediate relief but would like to discuss the CD-3 two-family dwelling standards in the future.
Chair Hoenig reminded Commissioner Rise that existing duplexes are exempt from the owner-occupied requirement. Commissioner Rise responded that this is not true if the dwelling is vacant for more than a year. Kain clarified that this was not correct. Kain reiterated that any duplex built before the adoption of the owner-occupied requirement is exempt from it, regardless of vacancy.
Chair Hoenig called for a vote on the motion.
Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 7
Motion approved unanimously.
F. TC-19-03
Kain introduced TC-19-03, a proposed ordinance that would ensure all developments provide facilities for recycling. Kain recommended that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-03.
Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Motion by Kostrzewa, support by Friedrich, to recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-03.
Motion approved unanimously.
G. TC-19-04
Kain introduced TC-19-04, which would permit stacked parking where parking areas are accessed only by a rear alley or rear lane and also a limited amount of stacked parking (up to five spaces) associated with a house that is used for non-residential or mixed use purpose. Kain noted that stacked parking is currently permitted only for one- and two-family dwellings, and rooming dwellings or registered student organizations under limited circumstances. Kain explained that this change would provide additional flexibility in circumstances where an existing stacked parking exists during the conversion of a residential use to a non-residential use, or where stacked parking might avoid the excess cost and lot coverage necessary for a parking lot.
Kain concluded his report recommending that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-04.
Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Rise commented that she would not be supporting this change as she feels it will create traffic congestion on the main streets and feels that it will create a hazard and is a safety concern, especially in the CD-4 and CD-5 districts where people may be backing out onto a busy street.
Commissioner Liesch commented that he feels the proposed ordinance would be beneficial.
Chair Hoenig stated she does not agree that this will create an issue along main corridors as she does not anticipate those businesses would utilize the option. Kain concurred that he would not expect use in that context.
Motion by Ortman, support by Friedrich, to recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-04.
Motion approved 8:1 with Rise voting nay.
H. TC-19-05
Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 8
Kain introduced TC-19-05, a proposed ordinance which would amend standards in Table 154.405.A for the CD-3L and CD-3 zoning districts related to walls and fences; roof pitch; and maximum driveway width.
In response to the question raised last month by Commissioner Irwin, Kain reported that the Michigan Building Code does not set a general minimum roof pitch. Rather, roof pitch minimums vary in relationship to materials used and structural load.
Kain concluded his report recommending that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-05.
Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Motion by Friedrich, support by Liesch, to recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-05.
Discussion ensued on various roof pitches, with Commissioners Rise, Kostrzewa, and Irwin all commenting that they would be open to more flexibility and a minimum as low as 4:12.
Vice-Chair Horgan commented that the Board adopted a form-based code specifically to implement standards such as the one in question and supported the current standard.
Kain reminded the Board that the current standard was driven by a desire to achieve the form identified as desirable by the community during the form-based code project, and also as a more predictable standard than the previous variable standard. Kain noted that the 7:12 recommendation was based on what is typically built both in the City and required in certain neighborhoods outside the City.
Motion by Irwin, support by Rise, to amend the motion to reduce the minimum roof pitch to 4:12.
Yeas: Irwin and Rise Nays: Dailey, Friedrich, Hoenig, Horgan, Kostrzewa, Liesch, and Ortman Motion failed 2:7.
Motion by Rise, support by Kostrzewa, to amend the motion to reduce the minimum roof pitch to 6:12.
Yeas: Dailey, Hoenig, Horgan, Irwin, Kostrzewa, and Rise Nays: Friedrich, Liesch, and Ortman Motion approved 6:3.
Chair Hoenig called for a vote on the original motion as amended.
Motion approved unanimously.
VII. Public Comments
Chair Hoenig opened the floor for public comments. There being no one who wished to speak, the public comments portion of the meeting was closed.
VIII. Site Plan Reviews:
None

IX. Unfinished Business:
None
X. New Business:
A. Receive referral from the City Commission and discuss ordinance to add a new Subsection 154.410.B.4.b and to amend Table 154.410. A of the zoning ordinance and consider setting a public hearing on this issue at the October 3, 2019 meeting.
Kain introduced a proposed ordinance referred by the City Commission to regulate adult-use marihuana establishments. Kain reviewed the related activities of the state and City Commission to date, noting that in June the City Commission opted out of the MRTMA to permit time for review of state rules for these establishments which were released in July. The City Commission has since held several work sessions to develop the parameters for a regulatory and zoning ordinance to permit these establishments under certain standards and limitations.
Kain noted that the proposed ordinance is largely consistent with the regulations imposed on medical marihuana facilities under that ordinance amendment adopted in 2018. He noted the one major difference is a new business type, Microbusiness, which allows a retailer to grow and process their own product for sale. There is not an equivalent facility type permitted under the state medical marihuana facilities law.
Kain recommended that the Planning Commission set a public hearing to consider the proposed text change at their October 3, 2019 meeting.
Motion by Kostrzewa, support by Rise, to set a public hearing to consider proposed text change TC-19-06 at the October 3, 2019 regular meeting.
Chair Hoenig asked about the proposal to permit no designated consumption establishments. Kain responded that that establishment is also one without an equivalent under the s state medical marihuana facilities law. At this time the City Commission was not recommending permitting that establishment type.
Commissioner Friedrich noted that on page two the document contained references to medical marihuana facilities. Kain indicated that those errors would be corrected on the ordinance brought back for public hearing.
Commissioner Rise questioned why the establishments would be considered special uses rather than special regulated uses. Kain responded that the overall intent was to regulate consistent with the adopted regulations for medical marihuana facilities which are treated as special uses.
Chair Hoenig commented that she had served as a member of the City’s ad hoc committee on medical marihuana. She further added that the committee determined medical marihuana facilities would be similar to a pharmacy because you would need a prescription to purchase the product and therefore determined that designating them as special regulated uses was excessive.
Kain commented that the principal distinction between special uses and special regulated uses is enhanced discretion to the Board in approving particular locations on the basis of surrounding land uses. He further commented that following the public hearing the Planning Commission could suggest to the City Commission that they consider classifying the establishments as special regulated uses.

Chair Hoenig called the question.
Motion approved unanimously.
XI. Other:
A. Staff Report:
1. Administrative Review Report: Kain reported that two site plans were approved administratively in August: One for 1504/1608 N. Fancher to expand the existing business onto an additional parcel and install perimeter screening; and one for 313 W. Michigan to install mechanical equipment at the rear of the building with a masonry screen for a new data center.
2. October meeting: Kain noted that we would likely be seeing two special use permits to allow alcohol sales at gas stations. In addition, we would be holding a public hearing on the adult-use marihuana establishments ordinance. Kain also noted that McKenna will be on site with a presentation on the Master Plan.
3. Training: Kain reported that the MAP conference would be taking place in Kalamazoo on September 25-27 and encouraged commissioners to attend. In addition, he noted that there will be a Citizen Planner Program offered in Mt. Pleasant and encouraged commissioners to attend.
Commissioner Liesch commented that he attended the MAP conference in 2017 and found it very beneficial.
B. Commissioner Rise asked that consideration be given to discuss garage setbacks and owner- occupied duplexes at a future meeting or work session.
XII. Adjournment
Motion by Friedrich, support by Liesch, to adjourn.
Motion approved unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 9:05 p.m.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear City Staff, City Commissioners and Planning Commissioners, Some of you may not be aware of the challenges many businesses and developers are having with the new character based zoning code that was adopted in 2018 so I would like to share some of them with you. Some of these challenges include the requirements/limitations on storefront signage, storefront lighting, requiring the building to be located up near Mission Street and parking lot paving. Here are a few examples of the issues this new ordinance has created: 1. In regards to signage, the McDonald’s on Mission Street wanted to put a small M over their entry door which is part of their standard design package however the new ordinance does not allow it. The developer said of all the remodel projects he has done, this is the only municipality that has not allowed him to place the M over their door. The ordinance also restricted this location from putting “McDonalds” anywhere on the building. Any remodeled McDonalds that I have seen appears to have allowed both the “M” over the door, “Welcome” over their door and “McDonald’s” placed on the building. Go look at the newly remodeled McDonald’s in Union Township on the NW corner of Remus and Lincoln(see photo 0509 compared to 0510). This property looks really nice and has the proper signage to go with it unlike the lack of signage for the McDonald’s on Mission Street. Also, the new Five Guys coming to town thought they would be allowed to place signage on the East and North facing parts of their space however the new sign ordinance does not allow that either. This is one of the only times his business has not been allowed to put signage on both storefronts and he has quite a few stores in MI. The City of MP is not being very amenable to businesses and when you have two big national chains experiencing this level of difficulty in MP compared to many other municipalities, MP ought to strongly consider changes. 2. The new lighting ordinance does not allow back lit signs on the storefront anymore and instead, requires their signage to be lit with gooseneck lighting. I would encourage you to go look at the storefront lighting installed at Mr. Vapor in the Stadium Mall. I do not think this looks very attractive (see photo 0511 compared to 0512). What are your thoughts? 1 3. Another restriction hindering growth on Mission Street is that any new construction MUST be placed up near the road with parking in the rear of the property. Every prospective tenant we have spoken with said they would not go into a retail shopping center on Mission Street if the building was placed near the road. Also, every developer we have spoken with said they would never build a shopping center near the road on Mission Street. Many commercial tenants and other developers have continued to offer their feedback to us regarding this issue and we continue to pass it along to you so you are informed. Our feedback on this item appears to be brushed aside. How many building permits have been issued in these areas under the new ordinance compared to five or ten years prior to the new ordinance? I suspect that this number is much lower under the new ordinance and I would love to see the data. 4. There have been multiple examples of businesses wanting to improve their parking lot and the new ordinance really hinders these folks from doing so. I have spoken with a few asphalt companies and they have said their business has been drastically affected by this ordinance and they have done very little work in MP since this ordinance went into effect. If they have been doing work, it has been some road patching or pot hole filling as not to trigger a storm water management plan and having to relocate their building up on the road. Not only does this affect the aesthetics of the property it is also affecting the income for these asphalt businesses. I am very happy to see the issue of requiring the building located up near the road was recently addressed and changed which allows the property owner to maintain his property keeping it safe for their customers and patrons however if more than 2,600 square feet is being improved, it would still require a storm water management plan which would be very costly to these businesses. I have attached photos of Yorkshire Commons which would prefer to pave their parking lot however the storm water management plan is too costly to do. I have attached some photos for you to see for yourself. (see photos 0513 through 0522). Here is feedback from other people in and around our community that have experienced similar challenges with our new ordinance: The items listed below all share a common thread, as overregulation and development restrictions continue to arise, the tax base declines and ultimately the residents and business owners of this city will be forced to shoulder the burden of the deficit. Swift corrective measures are needed to address specific portions of the new Zoning Ordinance. The new Zoning ordinance pre‐adoption process was lengthy and seemingly thorough in many ways, but falls terribly short when it comes to evaluating the tax implications on the residents and business owners. This failure appears to show a lack of fiduciary responsibility by City staff and Commissioners who worked on the ordinance. The Plan‐a‐palooza process should have resulted in valuable information being gathered from residents and the local development community. However the expertise of countless well respected development industry professionals appears to have been disregarded. Specifically in the conversion of the student‐housing rental district, and the Industrial District. There appears to be a contradictory development focus for Industrial Property in this City. Throughout the Plan‐a‐ Palooza process I repeatedly requested a conditional zoning district for a portion of Industrial Park South with Isabella Road frontage. This idea was shot down because the claim was that industrial property is too valuable and in limited supply in the city limits. Ironically the recent medical marijuana ordinance now allows for colocation of industrial and commercial uses for marijuana in the very same district. At the very least this ordinance falsely inflates the marketability of industrial property for commercial use, taking away from the chance to fill vacant commercial property throughout the City. This ordinance also has the appearance of impropriety and conflict of interest by the City whose Economic Development Corporation holds property in the City’s name in the South Park. The ordinance changes impacting the large student housing district South of High near the Campus of CMU may never have wide spread changes to the properties that convert that to a completely single family district. Instead the only thing that is certain about this change is the immediate devaluation and loss of tax dollars due to loss of income potential. This was a very short sided change. 2 Not allowing property owners to improve their parking lots by completely repaving (while being in compliance with the Storm water ordinance) is counterintuitive to the idea of improving the character of our city. I’ve had several customers who want to rebuild their old, failing parking lots including complying with the Storm Water Management Ordinance. Under the new Zoning ordinance this is prohibited. Imagine owning property in the City and not being able to maintain it because the Zoning Ordinance prohibits it. The safety hazard that exists to commercial customers, employees, and residents at large is reason enough to allow this. Never mind the ability to further reduce the storm water load of these properties on our very outdated and undersized storm system. I realize this item has been targeted as a working item to be re‐evaluated, but it is simply taking too long. Another paving season has nearly come and gone, and who knows how many people have been injured during that time. The State of Michigan Residential Building Code is the adopted code of record in this City. That code is promulgated Under 1972 PA 230 the Stille‐DeRossett‐Hale Single State Construction Code. Portions of the new Zoning Ordinance are in direct conflict with this regulation and have been referred to The State of Michigan Bureau of Construction Codes for investigation. For example, regulating roof pitch and garage to house orientation would be limiting design elements and potentially restricting design elements that are allowable by State Code. As the new City wide slogan states “Meet Here” I’d welcome the opportunity Meet Here and participate in a citizens task force as a lifelong resident of Central Michigan and industry professional of the Local Development Community to help resolve the detrimental effects of the new Zoning Ordinance. Andy Theisen‐Konwinski Construction I have been a resident of Mt. Pleasant since 1989 and purchased my first home in 1992. We live in a very unique community with half our land within the recognized tribal boundaries and a university directly in the middle. I started my business in 1996 and wanted to become more involved in the community so I applied and was accepted to the Planning Commission in the year 2000. 7 years later I was appointed then elected to the City Commission and was privileged to be mayor for 3 terms. A zoning ordinance is a fact of life in most cities and it helps shape the community and guided by its Master Plan. Being very involved in city politics I saw my fair share of zoning issues and voted on many of them. Some I agreed with and other I didn’t but we moved forward. It’s a business where you can’t please everyone but the hope is to come up with a solution to keep the city moving forward. During my final few years on the commission I saw an unfortunate change moving forward when the city hired Jacob Kain as Planning Director and his vision to update the zoning ordinance. You can hold as many public forums as you’d like but people just don’t get involved and normally trust the city staff and elected officials. This updated ordinance while in theory was supposed to enhance better developments within the city actually stifled growth. I have speculated and opened other restaurants around the state and it’s amazing the difference in culture in these communities. The City of Alma was thrilled we were looking to open a facility in their downtown. Helped with ordinance interpretation and was integral in assisting during the construction process. We moved our brewing operation form the City of Mt. Pleasant to Union Township. It allowed us greater flexibility to have a mixed commercial and industrial operation, outdoor seating and better signage while reducing our property taxes by 60%. We are currently working on opening a restaurant in St Johns. The mayor reached out and asked what he could do to help the process. St Johns city staff were helpful with forms and ordinance interpretation and are even revising an ordinance for more outdoor seating. The culture in the City Planning department is “here are the things you can’t do”. You can only take so much of that until you just stop doing anything in the city. The small developer is the one that gets hurt the worst because we don’t have the financial and technical resources to dig through the hoops to build or remodel something in this community. Across the state when I travel it’s been said to me to stay clear of the City of Mt. Pleasant unless you have a lot of money and are ready to get “no you can’t do that” a lot. You know you have a problem zoning ordinance when you have nothing coming through the planning commission like years past even with the biggest economic boom in years. 3 The City Commission needs to take a serious look at this zoning ordinance and open it up again for comment then assess those comments and make a master amendment to fix the wrongs of it. It is very unfortunate we have a Planning staff at the city that is very reluctant to make (recommend )sweeping updates to this ordinance to make it better because they want their vision to prevail in the city instead of the people. Jim Holton I have developed properties in Mt. Pleasant for over 50 years. I have been centered on Downtown properties, the heartbeat of every community. For the last 5 years, several cities have used State and Federal programs to help developers turn around their downtown’s by building parking structures, adding new lighting, working with bars and restaurants on signage and outdoor space and creating an atmosphere conducive to attracting retail. Mt. Pleasant has chosen not to be aggressive in this area and due to their attitude, the downtown has suffered as has other areas of the city. The city elected officials need to lead and direct their employees to change their attitudes. Encouraging good development is a big part of their commitment to the city voters and the growth of a community. W. Sidney Smith Doug, I have been in the development business since 1982 and moved back to Mt. Pleasant in 1986 and have lived here ever since. My particular niche is developing affordable housing and I have developed over 30 projects across various communities in Michigan over the years, from rural communities to urban centers. I have developed two affordable housing projects here in Mt. Pleasant, as well as a couple of office buildings and some smaller multi‐family projects. Since 2005 there has been a significant change in how the City interacts with developers. I’m not certain the cause for such a shift, but the result has been one of wanting to control the development process every step of the way and not letting the market dictate what sort of development is warranted. I am certain that city personnel can site many different justifications for such a shift in attitude, but the end result is that it is discouraging to the market place and developers will simply seek alternative communities and markets within which to pursue their own particular development niche’s. I made the decision three years ago to focus my efforts on SW Michigan communities where there is exponential growth occurring and the need for affordable housing is significant. We currently have four projects in various stages of development in the City of Kalamazoo, a site in the City of Grand Rapids approved for a small multi‐ family project, a site under contract in Hudsonville for development of an affordable Senior housing project, and pursuing affordable housing projects in other communities such as Spring lake, Gladwin, and Cadillac, as well as working with a large non‐profit on developing several affordable senior projects in NE Michigan. In each and every one of those communities we have been welcomed with open arms, encouraged in the development process by the grant of various variances and tax incentives that are necessary for affordable housing to be successful. Many of these communities have relaxed standards for density and parking requirements, and all of them, have understood the need for tax abatement to make such projects economically viable. I would note in particular, that on one recent project, we achieved better than a 100% variance on density (37 units to 80 units) as well as a height and parking variances. In addition, a portion of the site is being purchased from the city and because we are building affordable housing, the city has a matrix that discounts the purchase price of the land based on the number of affordable housing units being built and as a result the purchase price of the property was reduced by 45% because we are developing 80 units of affordable housing. Many of these communities recognize the need for a balanced housing stock, including affordable housing, if they are going to grow as a community and have the opportunity to attract business and industry and create jobs in their communities. Business and industry seek out communities that are willing and receptive to working with them as partners and not as adversaries. I could elaborate further, but the message I would convey is, I’m a business man, it’s not that I don’t want to develop and create opportunity in this community, I do. The fact is however I can spend the same time and effort pursuing opportunities in SW Michigan and create assets that will have a greater chance for success because of the dynamics of that market place and the long term appreciation of those assets will be significantly greater than it would be here in Mt. Pleasant. The opportunities are not here, the growth is not here, and city government wants to control every aspect of the development process through the passage of restrictive ordinances and offer few if any incentives. I have lived in this community on and off since 1972 when I was a sophomore at CMU. I have raised four children here, all of whom, for one reason or another, have chosen to live elsewhere and have no 4 desire to return to Mt. Pleasant, why is that? I don’t know the answer to that question, but I can tell you that I am discouraged and a bit disheartened at the prospects for this community. The University has declined in enrollment significantly, there is no development pipeline for the city which is indicative of a declining community; there is no industry that I am aware of, seeking to locate in Mt. Pleasant and bring with it the opportunity for new high paying jobs, and there is little if any new single family housing being built within the city limits. I truly wish I could find something positive to say, I have a connection to Mt. Pleasant, as we all do, and I want to see it thrive and prosper, but the current administration of this community see’s it differently and until that changes, there is little if any reason for me to pursue any development opportunities here in Mt. Pleasant. Phil Seybert Are any of you aware of this growth happening outside the City of MP? If not, the comments above ought to get your attention. In addition, I have also spoke with the city managers in Clare, Alma and St. Johns and asked them what they are doing to grow as well as reduce retail vacancies. They all said they were being amenable to businesses and developers. For example, Clare has done an excellent job filling all their retail vacancies over the last 5 years. Only recently has there been three vacancies and the reason why is because those businesses had grown so much, they needed more space and had to move. Clare has completely revitalized their downtown. Alma is doing the same thing. They are focused on growth and they know that being amenable is the key! They are even changing ordinances in an effort to get these businesses and developers into their city. They are also doing some conditional rezoning to accommodate growth. They are doing anything reasonable to assist the business owner or developer in getting their project from paper to completion. St. Johns continues to do this as well. They are being amenable to businesses and developers. Do you see the common denominator? They are working WITH the businesses and developers instead of making it difficult for them. They aren’t just saying this, they are doing it. They aren’t just talking the talk, they are walking the walk. Something that is not being done in Mt. Pleasant. The city continues to say they are “open for business” however the new ordinance is promoting dilapidation. You folks receiving this email are the decision makers and need to start being amenable and really consider the feedback from the people affected. If you don’t, this will continue to have a negative impact on the businesses in this city and the residents will end of paying the price.. I have spoken with many other businesses who have shared their concerns mentioned above however in fear of retribution by the city, they have asked me not to share their comments. Please include this email correspondence in the packet of the next Planning Commission and City Commission meetings. If this correspondence is unable to be included in either of these packets, then I would like it read aloud at that respective meeting. Thanks, Doug LaBelle II Associate Broker 405 S.

Emily Kreusch 1111 West Campus Dr. Apt. S3 Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858 To the Mt. Pleasant City Commission, I am writing to urge you host celebrations and inclusionary events on census day in order to get an accurate count. Census 2020 is a very important time for our town and for our nation. If we fail to get an accurate count, we are at risk of falling below the 25,000 mark which would put our most vulnerable populations are at risk. Populations like the elderly, the homeless, and the impoverished are all at risk of losing important federal dollars for programs that benefit them. Events promoted in conjunction with Institutions around Mt. Pleasant would help boost the count. Institutions like Central Michigan University, helping boost on campus outreach at the library and the UC as well as large spread email blasts would boost the college student count. As well as partnering with institutions like the public library, local schools, local churches, youth groups, and professional groups like the chamber of commerce would help spread awareness to the importance of the census. Since the 2020 census is going to be online next year, I believe that it is of the upmost importance that we have volunteers ready to do outreach to our elderly population. They are the most likely to need help in completing the census. On top of elderly outreach, I believe including computers and iPads into census events would make such events more successful. As well as public events like a downtown event on census day centered on the importance of the count as well has helping to inform the public about common misconceptions about the census and having iPads or laptops to let people fill out the census there. This combined with placing ads and promoting the census with an easy link on the advertisements in public places like the library and in schools would help increase the count. These events as well as door to door canvasing with iPads to promote the census will help our community to get counted. If we undercount our community, we are at risk of falling below the 25,000 mark which would be extremely detrimental to our town as our federal funding would decrease. Partnering with nonprofits in the community and the institutions within Mt. Pleasant and setting aside some community monies to help reach out to all the members of our community would help greatly with the count for the 2020 census. Best, Emily Kreusch Alexander Giles 1810 Edgewood Dr. Mt. Pleasant, MI, 48662 October 1, 2019 Commissioner Tony Kulick Mt. Pleasant City Hall, 320 W. Broadway Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, 48858 Commissioner Kulick: I am writing to ask you to introduce a support for the 2020 Census Effort, as introduced by Chloe Updegraff, Coordinator of the Great Lakes Bay Regional Club. According to the National League of Cities Preparing for the 2020 Census Guide, several groups have been identified as “historically hard-to-count” (HTC). Mt. Pleasant is home to many of these HTC groups, including renters and residents who move often, persons living in alternative housing units, persons experiencing homelessness, and young mobile adults. To ensure an accurate count, I am seeking support for a Complete Count Committee to secure representation in Mt. Pleasant. As an undergraduate at Central Michigan University studying political science and as a resident for most of the year, I care about Mt. Pleasant receiving all the federal funding and political representation that is due based on our population. As Chloe Updegraff explained at the September 23rd City Commission meeting, a 1% under-count in the state of Michigan could result in a $1 billion loss in federal funding, as reported by George Washington University. Through a Complete Count Committee, Mt. Pleasant could conduct outreach to HTC groups through trusted community partners such as faith-based institutions, international-student groups, and local service providers. An accurate census count begins at the local level and contributes to the foundations of our democratic system. By identifying historically hard-to-count populations and supporting the April 1st Census Day, the City of Mt. Pleasant could target their efforts to help the historically hard-to-count population and advance the goals of this community. Considering the various stakeholders in the community, including Central Michigan University, municipal governments, medical facilities, and nonprofits, an accurate 2020 Census count is vital to the City’s economic and political goals. Your support of efforts as proposed by the Great Lakes Bay Regional Club will assist in providing an accurate 2020 Census through a Complete Count Committee and helping the City of Mt. Pleasant achieve accurate representation. Thank you for your help and consideration.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. My name is Martha Riggs and I attended the Citizen’s Academy last winter. If I remember correctly, Mt. Pleasant’s mayor is primarily a figurehead. I wanted to share my thoughts that electing a mayor would use the time, energy and money of the city council members. If not needed, use the time and energy for better purposes. I wanted to share my thoughts. Thank you. Martha Sent from my iPad 1 ~~~·:~ Dear, ''·~-- City Commisioner's I would like to inform you of a business that is advertising falsely in the city of Mt. Pleasant. It is Performance Plus Quick oil change located on the corner of Mission & Bluegrass. They are advertising a oil change for $24.99 on their marquee but after oil change is complete they charge you an additional $3.00 (Shop Charge) bringing the oil change to $27.99. I've emailed there corporate headquarters about this and they replied it's a standard fee that most garages already charge. While that may be true I feel they are misleading the public by advertising a 24.99 oil change instead of advertising a 27.99 oil change which is what they actually charge. I'm hoping you'll consider looking into this matter. Thank you ,,,,,,,Doug Rustin 506 1979 Or [email protected] Subject: FW: Sharing concerns Nancy The last few days have heightened some concerns I have been having and I felt I should share them with you. During the floods a couple years ago the condominiums I own at Woodside Condominiums on Flynn and Bellows sustained substantial damage. The sewers overflowed and backed up into my basements. In all the bill totaled $110,000 of which $40,000 was paid by insurance. I was forced to take a mortgage on my paid off properties. After workings very hard for over thirty years to secure a stable retirement I had some of my income taken away due to inadequate infrastructure in the cities system. My sump pumps have been working nonstop during these rains and I’m praying that the city infrastructure doesn’t do it to me again. With global warming I’m sure this issue will surface many times in the future. So here is my true concern. I have a real problem having my hard earned property tax dollars which equals a little over three months of my rents go to infrastructure updates, tax abatement and a ridiculous purchase price of parcel B. This creates direct competition to my units which are excellent upscale single family units. In the meantime the city has done nothing to prevent another financial blow to me and others with our inadequate storm and sewer systems. I firmly believe our tax dollars should be allocated to the people who have invested in and made Mt Pleasant home. To give our dollars to a outside developer to come into town and directly compete with such as strong advantage over the long term investors is dead set wrong. Please invest our money for us and update our infrastructure so we aren’t damaged again placing more financial strain on our residents. Invest in those who have invested in our city not outsiders coming in and damaging us. From everything thing I’ve read the math on this project just doesn’t make sense. Allow it to fail as it should instead of creating a climate for our existing residence failures. Thanks for listening and I hope you do the right thing and make the project stand on its own feet not ours. Please share my letter with the commissioners.

NJR/ap Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 COMMISSION LETTER #163-19 MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 11, 2019 FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR OCTOBER 14, 2019 ON AN APPLICATION FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD ENTERPRISE ZONE (NEZ) CERTIFICATE Assuming the prior agenda item officially creating the Neighborhood Enterprise Zone District is approved, the next step in the process is to accept applications for tax abatements specific to a development within the district. Attached is a communication from Community Services and Economic Development Director Bill Mrdeza recommending a public hearing be set on the application received for the Neighborhood Enterprise Zone tax abatement. This tax abatement would be related to the proposed project for 410 W. Broadway and would reduce the taxes by approximately 50% for the residential portion of the development for 15 years. As previously reported, the estimated value of the tax abatement under both the Neighborhood Enterprise Zone and the Commercial Redevelopment District is estimated at $1.2 million over the 15 years. Of that amount, the City portion of the tax abatement is estimated at $340,000. When the development agreement was approved in September 2018, it was known that two tax abatements would be requested to make the project viable. At that time it was believe4d the abatements would be 100%. Based on the estimated value of the development, even with a the requested tax abatement the taxes received during the first 15 years across all jurisdictions is estimated at $1.5 million of which the City portion is approximately $401,000. See attached information sheet on the project which was provided earlier this summer when the development agreement was amended. It is recommended a public hearing on the specific application be held for October 14, 2019 before final consideration. Recommended motion: Move to set a public hearing for October 14 on the application for Neighborhood Enterprise Zone Certificate for 410 W. Broadway. NJR/ap Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 Memorandum Mt. Pleo.r0-11,t [ meet here] TO: Nancy Ridley FROM: William R. Mrdeza -q_. .~ . Community Services & Economic Development Director \_~ DATE: September 17, 2019 SUBJECT: Public Hearing Request Regarding Neighborhood Enterprise Zone Application Background: The City's Economic Development Corporation has entered into a Purchase and Development Agreement with Michigan Community Capital (MCC) to explore a conceptual design for a multi-story, mixed use development at 410 W. Broadway. The project continues to be investigated and move forward by MCC under the due diligence provision in the agreement, as amended. The proposed project is consistent with a number of goals, objectives, and opportunities in the City's current Master Plan and Economic Development Action Plan as previously identified. In addition to state grants and the private financing being provided by MCC and their proposed first floor tenant, the project continues to require both a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) and a Commercial Redevelopment Act ( or PA 255) abatement. Previously, the City Commission adopted a resolution creating a Commercial Redevelopment District for this property and was requested to adopt a similar resolution creating a NEZ at the September 23rd meeting. As a result of these actions and in order to keep the project on schedule, Michigan Community Capital has submitted an application for a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone New Ce1iificate which requests a reduction of taxes on the completed project for a period of fifteen (15) years. It is recommended that a public hearing on the application be set for a future meeting with the appropriate publication requirements and notifications be sent to the affected taxing jurisdictions. Requested Action: Assuming the resolution creating a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone for the 410 W. Broadway development site is approved as a prior agenda item, it is requested the City Commission approve the attached resolution setting a public hearing for October 14, 2019 on the application for a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone New Certificate also attached for reference.

Transfer of an existing certificate Existing NEZ ce1tificates may be transferred to a new owner by filing a completed application and a copy oftbe warranty deed for the subject property with tbe State Tax Commission. Tax Advantage of an NEZ Exemption The NEZ tax for a "Rehabilitated Facility" is determined by multiplying the total mills levied as ad valorem taxes by the taxable value, not including land, for the tax year immediately preceding the effective date of the certificate, unless the effective date is adjusted by MCL 207.780(3). If the effective date is adjusted or the certificate is approved after 12/31/2005, tbe taxable value 1 remains "frozen ' until the last three years of the certificate and is then adjusted as described below. The NEZ tax for a "New Facility" is dete1mined by multiplying one-half the Principal Residence Exemption state average tax rate mills levied in this state in the immediately preceding calendar year by the taxable value of the "New facility,ii not including land, until the certificate expires, unless tbe effective date is adjusted by MCL 207.780(2). If the effective date is adjusted or tbe certificate is approved after 12/31/2005, the exemption is adjusted as described below. The Principal Residence Exemption state average tax rate is set by the Michigan Department of Treasury, Assessment and Certification Division, on an annual basis. In the last three years of the exemption, the exemption applies to only tbe number of mills levied for tbe county and LGU operating purposes (does not include debt millage); multiplied by the current taxable value. Any county or LGU debt millage and all other millages levied by all otber taxing autborities would be levied at the full millage. Land is not included in this exemption. In the tax year two years before the certificate expires, the percentage of county and LGU operating mills paid changes to five-eighths ( does not include debt millage); multiplied by the current taxable value. In the tax year one year before the certificate expires, the percentage of county and LGU operating mills paid changes from five-eighths to three-fourths ( does not include debt millage); multiplied by the current taxable value. In the year that the ce1iificate expires, the percentage county and LGU operating mills paid changes from three-fomihs to seven-eighths ( does not include debt millage); multiplied by the current taxable value.

Additionally, it is anticipated that GreenTree Coop will invest $1 million in refrigeration equipment, displays, racking, point of sale systems and other fixtures in their 10,000-square foot space. Time scheduled for undertaking and completed the facility's restoration, replacement or construction The development team anticipates closing on the financing and purchase of the site before year end 2019. Construction is scheduled to commence in February of 2020 with a target completion of June 2021. Statement of the economic advantages expected from receiving the exemption This site has been a vacant parcel in the otherwise unbroken streetscape of Mt. Pleasant's historic district for over a decade. By continuing a hard street-line and amenities, t he Historic District should see increased traffic and demand, which will hopefully manifest itself as further development in the area. Additionally, this project aims to prove there is market demand for new housing units in the area. If successful in proving this demand, developers will likely follow suit as they can use this project as a "comparable asset" and create additional new multifamily housing. Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 410 W. Broadway Street Project (Parcel B) Information Sheet Since 2003, efforts have been made to develop 1.34 acres of land to the west of City Hall at 410 W. Broadway Street, also referred to as Parcel B. Preferred plans have always included developing a mixed use facility comprised of both a residential and retail/ commercial component. This information sheet provides the data and progress to date on this redevelopment opportunity. 1 Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 History • In the fall of 2003 the J.E. Johnson Group negotiated an “option to purchase” agreement with the city’s Economic Development Corporation (EDC), referred to as the ‘West Broadway Revitalization Project.’ This project included both the rehabilitation of the Borden Creamery (current City Hall) known as Parcel A, and a second phase to include the proposed construction of a new mixed use building on Parcel B. • Borden Creamery was completed in 2008 and is occupied by City Hall and State Court Administrative Offices. The second phase of the project on Parcel B was not completed primarily due to the 2008 recession and sluggish housing market. • A lawsuit over the development of the land between J.E. Johnson Group and the EDC was filed by the City of Mt. Pleasant and was settled in September 2012. Parcel B has been available for sale since the settlement date and various development proposals have been considered. • The EDC and the City Commission have been committed to the original mixed use concept and have reviewed multiple proposals. This commitment was affirmed at a February 2018 joint meeting of the EDC and the City Commission. • In May 2018, Michigan Community Capital (MCC) submitted a development proposal to the EDC. A Purchase and Development Agreement was approved by the EDC and City Commission in September 2018. MCC has progressed further in the due diligence process than any other entity. • The property is currently owned by the city’s Economic Development Corporation (EDC). Proposed Project Specs • New construction, mostly brick, four story, 50,000 square foot mixed use building. • Two commercial tenants on first floor: Green Tree Cooperative Grocery and the other is TBD. • Floors 2-4: Total 47 apartments. Six studio units; 30 one bedroom units; 11 two bedroom units. • MCC’s anticipated construction period is 16 months; with an estimated Spring 2021 project completion. 2 Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 Goal of Project/ Development • Complete the infill for the West Broadway Revitalization and help to improve the downtown area. • Property on the tax rolls. • Project would add high quality housing in a walkable location. • Expand and retain a local grocery store. (Green Tree Cooperative Grocery) • Provide a grocery store within walking distance of neighborhoods which offers affordable, healthy food options. • Three separate housing market studies showed the need for workforce housing (working professionals) and the missing middle (housing to fill the need between single family homes and student apartments). Development Challenges • Site contaminants which are elements from past industrial operations. EX: Railroad spurs, lime storage, coal fragments, and fill material. • Soil and groundwater conditions are unsuitable to support multi-story building, specialized foundations are needed. • Public infrastructure (storm water line, lift station, power lines) would need to be relocated. • Assurance that new construction is above the 100-year flood level. • Typical of projects like this, the original due diligence period has been extended four times due to the complexity of the site and the funding required. The new extension deadline is 30 days after the Community Development Block Grant agreement is signed by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and the City. Michigan Community Capital (MCC) • MCC is an independent, tax-exempt, non-profit which retains long-term ownership in the buildings they develop. • MCC invests in mixed use and multi-family rental projects. • Examples of MCC’s similar development projects include: 630 Michigan Street NE in Grand Rapids, Lofts in downtown Cadillac. 3 Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 Funding • Total projected project cost: $16.9 million. • MCC to guarantee a loan for $4.7 million, invest approximately $5.8 million of equity. • New Market Tax Credits are being secured. • Michigan Economic Development Corporation is committed to help fund this project. State funding is dependent on local participation. • May seek funding from Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) which is the former MDEQ, to address the possible site remediation. • When the purchase and development agreement was approved in September 2018, it was known that two tax abatements would be requested to make the project viable. • Total taxes paid for the first 15 years is estimated at $1,505,000. Value of tax abatements for all taxing units is $1,192,800 for the first 15 years. o Of the above numbers, City taxes paid for the first 15 years is $401,200. Value of tax abatements for the first 15 years is $339,600. o After 15 years, full taxes to be received for the life of the building. • MCC has paid $65,000 into escrow which will be used toward the purchase price of the land. • Purchase price for the land in the agreement is $360,000 and is being requested to be reduced to $65,000 since tax abatements are 50% instead of 100% as originally assumed. • Project is expected to have less than a 1% annual rate of return, which is acceptable to this developer due to their focus on mission-driven projects as opposed to maximizing profit potential. Parking • Approximately 50 on-site parking spots. • MCC is requesting that City Parking Lot 12 at Oak and Broadway (64 spaces) and the City Hall Parking Lot (104 spaces) will remain public parking and overnight parking for an extended period of time. • Broadway Street has 27 on street parking spaces between the railroad tracks and Pine Street, which can be used to address parking needs.

Mrdeza \ • ') ~ ~ · Community Services & Economic Development Director v DATE: September 16, 2019 SUBJECT: Public Hearing Request Regarding Commercial Facility Exemption Certificate Application Background: The City' s Economic Development Corporation has entered into a Purchase and Development Agreement with Michigan Community Capital (MCC) to explore a conceptual design for a multi-story, mixed use development at 410 W. Broadway. The project continues to be investigated and move forward by MCC under the due diligence provision in the agreement, as amended. The proposed project is consistent with a number of goals, objectives, and oppo1iunities in the City's current Master Plan and Economic Development Action Plan as previously identified. In addition to state grants and the private financing being provided by MCC and their proposed first floor tenant, the project continues to require both a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) and a Commercial Redevelopment Act (or PA 255) abatement. Previously, the City Commission adopted a resolution creating a Commercial Redevelopment District for this prope1iy and was requested to adopt a similar resolution creating a NEZ at the September 23rd meeting. As a result of these actions and in order to keep the project on schedule, Michigan Community Capital has submitted an application for a Commercial Facility Exemption Certificate which requests a reduction of taxes on the completed project for a period of twelve (12) years. State statute requires a public hearing on the application be set for a future meeting with the appropriate publication requirements and notifications be sent to the affected taxing jurisdictions. Requested Action: Having previously approved a resolution creating a Commercial Redevelopment District for the 410 W. Broadway development site, it is requested the City Commission approve the attached resolution setting a public hearing for October 14, 2019 on the application for a Commercial Facility Exemption Certificate also attached for reference.

Construction is scheduled to commence in February of 2020 w ith a target completion of June 2021. Statement of the economic advantages expected from receiving the exemption This site has been a vacant parce l in the otherwise unbroken streetscape of Mt. Pleasant's historic district for over a decade. By continuing a hard street-line and amenities, the Historic District should see increased traffic and demand, which w ill hopefully manifest itself as further development in the area. Additionally, this project aims to prove there is market demand for new housing units in the area. If successful in proving this demand, developers will likely follow suit as they can use this project as a "comparable asset" and create additional new multifamily housing.

NJR/ap Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 COMMISSION LETTER #165-19 MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 11, 2019 FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: RECEIVE RECOMMENDED REZONING REQUEST FOR MCGUIRK SUBDIVISION, LOTS 1-10 FROM CD-3, SUB-URBAN TO CD-4, GENERAL URBAN WITH A RESIDENTIAL/DWELLING USE ONLY SPECIAL REQUIREMENT AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR OCTOBER 14, 2019 ON THE SAME The attached memo from City Planner Jacob Kain outlines a proposed rezoning for 10 lots in the McGuirk Subdivision on Patrick Court. As indicated in the memo, this proposed rezoning is based on the deed restrictions that exist that require all dwellings be two- family dwellings. By rezoning the subdivision to CD-4 with a residential use only designation, these two-family dwellings will be allowed by right and will not require the special use permit process. At the previous meeting questions were raised about the requirements for owner- occupied duplexes. The zoning ordinance allows duplexes that existed prior to February 2018 to continue to exist as legally conforming units. Therefore if vacancies or sales occur within those preexisting units there is no requirement for duplexes to become owner-occupied. The zoning ordinance only requires newly constructed duplexes to have one portion be owner-occupied. It is recommended the City Commission accept the recommendation from the Planning Commission on the rezoning request and set a public hearing October 14, 2019 on the same. Recommended motion: Move to accept the proposed rezoning and set a public hearing on Z-19-02 to rezone McGuirk Subdivision on the same.

It is Hereby Ordained by the People of the City of Mount Pleasant: Section 1. That Chapter 154: Zoning Ordinances, is hereby amended as follows: Rezone the properties described below from CD-3, Sub-Urban to CD-4, General Urban with a Residential/Dwelling Use Only special requirement.

Publication and Effective Date. The City Clerk shall cause to be published a notice of adoption of this ordinance within 10 days of the date of its adoption.

YEAS: Commissioner(s) NAYS: Commissioner(s) ABSTAIN: Commissioner(s) ABSENT: Commissioner(s) CERTIFICATION As the City Clerk of the City of Mount Pleasant, Isabella County, Michigan, I certify this is a true and complete copy of an ordinance adopted by the Mount Pleasant City Commission at a regular meeting held on ______, 2019. William L. Joseph, Mayor Jeremy Howard, City Clerk PC Hearing: ______, 2019 Introduced: ______, 2019 Adopted: ______, 2019 Published: ______, 2019 Effective: ______, 2019 1 Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 Attachment 1 Map of McGuirk Subdivision (Lots 1-10 outlined in yellow). Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 Memorandum Mt. Plea.ra-ht [ meet here] TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jacob Kain City Planner DATE: September 5, 2019 SUBJECT: Z-19-02 – McGuirk Subdivision, Lots 1-10 – Request to rezone from CD-3, Sub-Urban to CD-4, General Urban with a Residential/Dwelling Use Only Special Requirement. Last month staff introduced a proposed rezoning of properties legally described as McGuirk Subdivision, Lots 1-10. McGuirk Subdivision is composed of ten lots with frontage on Patrick Court in the Westside neighborhood of Mt. Pleasant, immediately south of Sunnyside Park. The subdivision was platted in 1982. In association with that plat, deed restrictions were recorded which require, among other things, that two-family dwellings be constructed on each lot within the subdivision. Five lots in the subdivision have been developed with two-family dwellings, and five lots remain vacant. The subdivision was zoned at R-3 (Residential) under the prior zoning map. In 2018, the lots transitioned to CD-3, the equivalent district under the current zoning ordinance. Two-family dwellings are a use permitted by special use permit in the CD-3 zoning district, as they were under the prior R-3 zoning district. Given that the deed restrictions require that two-family dwellings be built upon the remaining vacant lots, it may be more appropriate for these lots to be zoned CD-4. Because CD-4 is a district which permits residential and non-residential uses, staff recommends including a Residential/Dwelling Use Only special requirement to prohibit uses other than Residential/Dwelling Uses on these lots. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommend that the City Commission rezone the properties described as McGuirk Subdivision, Lots 1- 10 from CD-3 to CD-4 with a Residential/Dwelling Use Only Special Requirement. Attachments 1. Draft ordinance 2. Map of subject properties Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 5 Commissioner Irwin asked about the requirement for pool barriers. Kain noted that the Michigan Building Code has specific requirements regarding fences, gates, and entry from the home to assure that access to a pool area is controlled. Commissioner Friedrich asked if the special use permit stays with the property. Kain noted that it would. If the applicant moved the daycare to another location a new special use permit would be required. Tori McConnell addressed the Board, noting she was the owner of the daycare. Commissioner Kostrzewa expressed concerns with the pool, questioning how deep was the pool, what type of barriers would be in place and if Ms. McConnell was certified as a lifeguard. McConnell responded that the pool was 9 ft. deep at the deep end and at one time she was certified as a lifeguard but currently is not; however, her current helper is life guard certified. McConnell also explained the type of barriers that would be in place. McConnell further commented that they rarely use the yard as they are on the go a lot with the kids. Kain noted that the code requires a certain amount of play area that is fenced in. He noted that this does not mean the children cannot play in other areas. Commissioner Friedrich asked how many people would be employed. McConnell responded that the state requires one employee for every six children so there would be two people at all times. Commissioner Dailey questioned the parking availability. McConnell stated that drop off and pick up is possible curbside or utilizing the driveway. Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed. Motion by Liesch, support by Friedrich, to approve SUP-19-11 and SPR-19-14 subject to the following conditions: 1. All pool barriers will be brought into compliance with the current requirements of the Michigan Building Code. 2. A certificate of occupancy shall be issued prior to operation. 3. The group day care home shall be inspected annually by the Building Official and Fire Marshal for compliance with current codes. Commissioner Kostrzewa asked who would inspect to assure that the pool barriers were in compliance. Kain responded that the Building Official would conduct an initial inspection and annual inspections thereafter. He further noted that the daycare would also be subject to State inspections. Chair Hoenig called for a vote on the motion. Motion approved unanimously. E. Z-19-02 – McGuirk Subdivision, Lots 1-10 Kain introduced Z-19-02. Kain reminded the Board that this subdivision was platted in 1982 at which time deed restrictions were recorded which require that two-family dwellings be constructed on each lot. Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 6 Kain noted that the subdivision was zoned R-3 Residential under the prior zoning map and transitioned to CD-3, the equivalent district, under the current zoning map. Kain noted that had recently learned of the deed restrictions and determined that it may be more appropriate for these lots to be zoned CD-4, consistent with the manner in which other properties are zoned throughout the City. The CD-4 district permits two-family dwellings by right. Because the CD-4 also permits non-residential uses, the proposed rezoning would include a Residential/Dwelling Use Only Special Requirement to prohibit non-residential uses. Commissioner Rise commented that there are two-family dwellings in the adjacent neighborhood and questioned what was different in character with this neighborhood. Kain commented that the principal distinction is the vacant lots whereas the adjacent neighborhood is already developed. The proposed rezoning would eliminate the need to obtain a special use permit for two-family dwellings that this neighborhood was developed to contain. Commissioner Rise asked if the setbacks and glazing requirements were different in the CD-4 and the CD-3 districts. Kain responded they were and reviewed those differences. Commissioner Kostrzewa questioned whether a residential/dwelling use requirement was necessary. Kain commented that the Planning Commission could recommend approval without that restriction if they wished. Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. Pat McGuirk, owner of several lots in the subdivision, provided some history on the property and spoke in favor of the rezoning. Randy Golden, Realtor, spoke in favor of the rezoning. Kain commented that while rezoning requests are typically brought to the Planning Commission by the property owner, in this case staff initiated the request. Prior to bringing forward for consideration, staff sent letters to the property owners to solicit input. Motion by Liesch, support by Kostrzewa, to recommend that the City Commission rezone the properties described as McGuirk Subdivision, Lots 1-10 from CD-3 to CD-4 with a Residential/Dwelling Use Only Special Requirement. Commissioner Rise commented that she is reluctant to support the rezoning as she believes this is a band- aid to fix the real problem, which she feels is the owner-occupied requirements for new two-family dwellings in the CD-3 district. She expressed concern over rezoning the area to CD-4 when other adjacent properties are zoned CD-3 and expressed concern over the differences between the CD-3 and CD-4 building standards. She noted that she would support the rezoning to give immediate relief but would like to discuss the CD-3 two-family dwelling standards in the future. Chair Hoenig reminded Commissioner Rise that existing duplexes are exempt from the owner-occupied requirement. Commissioner Rise responded that this is not true if the dwelling is vacant for more than a year. Kain clarified that this was not correct. Kain reiterated that any duplex built before the adoption of the owner-occupied requirement is exempt from it, regardless of vacancy. Chair Hoenig called for a vote on the motion. Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 7 Motion approved unanimously. F. TC-19-03 Kain introduced TC-19-03, a proposed ordinance that would ensure all developments provide facilities for recycling. Kain recommended that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-03. Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed. Motion by Kostrzewa, support by Friedrich, to recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-03. Motion approved unanimously. G. TC-19-04 Kain introduced TC-19-04, which would permit stacked parking where parking areas are accessed only by a rear alley or rear lane and also a limited amount of stacked parking (up to five spaces) associated with a house that is used for non-residential or mixed use purpose. Kain noted that stacked parking is currently permitted only for one- and two-family dwellings, and rooming dwellings or registered student organizations under limited circumstances. Kain explained that this change would provide additional flexibility in circumstances where an existing stacked parking exists during the conversion of a residential use to a non-residential use, or where stacked parking might avoid the excess cost and lot coverage necessary for a parking lot. Kain concluded his report recommending that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-04. Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Rise commented that she would not be supporting this change as she feels it will create traffic congestion on the main streets and feels that it will create a hazard and is a safety concern, especially in the CD-4 and CD-5 districts where people may be backing out onto a busy street. Commissioner Liesch commented that he feels the proposed ordinance would be beneficial. Chair Hoenig stated she does not agree that this will create an issue along main corridors as she does not anticipate those businesses utilize the option. Kain concurred that he would not expect use in that context. Motion by Ortman, support by Friedrich, to recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-04. Motion approved 8:1 with Rise voting nay. H.

Plea.ra-ht [ meet here] TO: Planning Commission FROM: Jacob Kain City Planner DATE: September 5, 2019 SUBJECT: TC-19-05 – A proposed ordinance to amend Table 154.405.A of the zoning ordinance to update standards for walls and fencing, roof pitch, and driveways. Last month the attached ordinance was introduced to you which would modify the building and lot standards in the CD-3L and CD-3 districts. The proposed changes include: Increasing the height of walls and fences allowed in the Secondary Frontage (side street yard) from 4 feet to 6 feet, consistent with a prior text change approved in 2015. Reducing the minimum roof pitch from 8:12 to 7:12 in response to feedback received. o Regarding the question raised last month, the Michigan Building Code does not directly regulate roof pitch. However, it does impose standards for materials and structural load that differ in relationship to the provided roof pitch. Increasing the maximum driveway width from 10 feet to 18 feet in response to feedback received. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommend that the City Commission adopt Text Change 19-05. Attachment 1. Draft ordinance Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 7 Motion approved unanimously. F. TC-19-03 Kain introduced TC-19-03, a proposed ordinance that would ensure all developments provide facilities for recycling. Kain recommended that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-03. Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed. Motion by Kostrzewa, support by Friedrich, to recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-03. Motion approved unanimously. G. TC-19-04 Kain introduced TC-19-04, which would permit stacked parking where parking areas are accessed only by a rear alley or rear lane and also a limited amount of stacked parking (up to five spaces) associated with a house that is used for non-residential or mixed use purpose. Kain noted that stacked parking is currently permitted only for one- and two-family dwellings, and rooming dwellings or registered student organizations under limited circumstances. Kain explained that this change would provide additional flexibility in circumstances where an existing stacked parking exists during the conversion of a residential use to a non-residential use, or where stacked parking might avoid the excess cost and lot coverage necessary for a parking lot. Kain concluded his report recommending that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-04. Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Rise commented that she would not be supporting this change as she feels it will create traffic congestion on the main streets and feels that it will create a hazard and is a safety concern, especially in the CD-4 and CD-5 districts where people may be backing out onto a busy street. Commissioner Liesch commented that he feels the proposed ordinance would be beneficial. Chair Hoenig stated she does not agree that this will create an issue along main corridors as she does not anticipate those businesses utilize the option. Kain concurred that he would not expect use in that context. Motion by Ortman, support by Friedrich, to recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-04. Motion approved 8:1 with Rise voting nay. H. TC-19-05 Excerpt from E-Packet of September 23, 2019 Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission September 5, 2019 Page 8 Kain introduced TC-19-05, a proposed ordinance which would amend standards in Table 154.405.A for the CD-3L and CD-3 zoning districts related to walls and fences; roof pitch; and maximum driveway width. In response to the question raised last month by Commissioner Irwin, Kain reported that the Michigan Building Code does not set a general minimum roof pitch. Rather, roof pitch minimums vary in relationship to materials used and structural load. Kain concluded his report recommending that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-05. Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed. Motion by Friedrich, support by Liesch, to recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-05. Discussion ensued on various roof pitches, with Commissioners Rise, Kostrzewa, and Irwin all commenting that they would be open to more flexibility and a minimum as low as 4:12. Vice-Chair Horgan commented that the Board adopted a form-based code specifically to implement standards such as the one in question and supported the current standard. Kain reminded the Board that the current standard was driven by a desire to achieve the form identified as desirable by the community during the form-based code project, and also as a more predictable standard than the previous variable standard. Kain noted that the 7:12 recommendation was based on what is typically built both in the City and required in certain neighborhoods outside the City. Motion by Irwin, support by Rise, to amend the motion to reduce the minimum roof pitch to 4:12. Yeas: Irwin and Rise Nays: Dailey, Friedrich, Hoenig, Horgan, Kostrzewa, Liesch, and Ortman Motion failed 2:7. Motion by Rise, support by Kostrzewa, to amend the motion to reduce the minimum roof pitch to 6:12. Yeas: Dailey, Hoenig, Horgan, Irwin, Kostrzewa, and Rise Nays: Friedrich, Liesch, and Ortman Motion approved 6:3. Chair Hoenig called for a vote on the original motion as amended. Motion approved unanimously. VII. Public Comments Chair Hoenig opened the floor for public comments. There being no one who wished to speak, the public comments portion of the meeting was closed.

Last month the attached ordinance was introduced to you which would permit the following adult-use marihuana establishments in the city as special uses subject to certain requirements. The nature of the special use permit criteria and location allowances are largely identical to those implemented for the equivalent facilities permitted under the City’s adopted medical marihuana ordinances. REQUESTED ACTION: Recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-06. Attachments 1. Draft ordinance Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission October 3, 2019 Page 4 1. The applicant provide a code compliant dumpster enclosure. 2. The existing gravel parking spaces will be removed and lawn restored. Motion approved unanimously. C. TC-19-06 Kain introduced TC-19-06, which is a proposed ordinance to add a new Subsection 154.410.B.4.b and to amend Table 154.410.A of the zoning ordinance to regulate marihuana establishments as special uses. Kain provided the background on activities that have led us to this point, noting that voters passed the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA) in November of 2018. Kain noted that six establishment types were established: • Retailers • Processors • Safety Compliance Facilities • Secure Transporters • Growers (Class A, B, and C) • Microbusinesses Kain further reported that the Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MRA) will begin accepting applications in November. Kain reported that the City Commission adopted a regulatory ordinance in September 2019 and that ordinance establishes that the City will accept applications beginning on January 6, 2020. Kain reported that there will be an annual license fee of $5,000. The City will permit up to 3 Retailers; 5 class A Growers; 3 Class B or C growers; an unlimited number of Processors, Safety Compliance Facilities and Secure Transporters; and 2 Microbusinesses. In the event that more applications are received for establishments with a numeric limit than that limit, a competitive selection process will be used. The regulatory ordinance also requires that all establishment types obtain a Special Use Permit. Commissioner Dailey asked if Microbusinesses would count towards the 3 allowed Retailers. Kain noted that Microbusinesses are a separate establishment category and therefore would not count toward the total of 3 Retailer licenses. Commissioner Dailey asked for clarification on the zero Excess Growers noted in the draft ordinance. Kain explained that an Excess Grower license allows a licensee who already holds five adult-use Class C grower licenses to expand their plant count. Because the City’s ordinance restricts stacking to a lesser number of licenses, Excess Growers would also not be possible. Kain reviewed the zoning districts where the establishments would be permitted, with Retailers being allowed in the CD-4 or CD-5 districts if they are also within the CBD-TIFA or Mission- Mt. Pleasant Planning Commission October 3, 2019 Page 5 Pickard DDA. Retailers would also be in the SD-I district but only if co-located with a Grower or Processor. All other types would be allowed only in the SD-I districts. In addition, the buffer map would be essentially the same. Chair Hoenig opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to speak, the public hearing was closed. Motion by Friedrich, support by Liesch, to recommend that the City Commission adopt TC-19-06. Motion approved unanimously. VII.

Mr. Lippens explained that the Master Plan is designed to provide guidance and a long range vision for the City and provided on overview of the layout for the plan, noting that it has been divided into five books: 1) Sustainable Land Use (How should we grow?) This section focuses on housing types and the zoning ordinance. 2) Connected Mobility Systems (How do we get there?) Focuses on transportation plan; city wide circulation, improved traffic flow, etc. 3) Focused Redevelopment (Where should we grow?) Mission Street vision, University/downtown connection, etc. 4) Exceptional Parks & Public Spaces (Where should we play?) Parks inventory and funding, infrastructure, etc. 5) Innovative Services and Aspirations (What should we do now?)

COMMISSION LETTER #179-19 MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 14, 2019 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OCTOBER 9, 2019 FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A FIREWORKS DISPLAY AS PART OF THE 2019 CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION (DECEMBER 7, 2019) AND AUTHORIZE THE PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR TO REPRESENT THE CITY IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY APPLICATION PROCESS The attached memo from Recreation and Sports Director Ryan Longoria indicates that due to the popularity of the fireworks at last year’s Christmas Celebration, 95.3 WCFX would like to partner with the City to bring the fireworks back again in 2019. WCFX has agreed to be responsible for the collection of donations to fund the display. As the requested date for the fireworks display is on a date that is outside of the defined holidays in our City ordinance and State law, the City Commission must take action to authorize the fireworks display for Saturday, December 7, 2019. State law allows for such approvals by the City Commission. Although the City will not be responsible for the funding portion of the display, we will be required to sign a contract with Wolverine Fireworks Display acting as the conduit for the donated funds. The contract does not need to be executed until mid-November so staff will not sign the contract until confirmation of $10,000 in donations has been secured. Recommended motion: Move to approve a fireworks display on Saturday, December 7, 2019 and authorize Public Safety Director Paul Lauria to represent the City in the State of Michigan application process for a pyrotechnic display. NJR/ap TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager FROM: Ryan Longoria, Director of Recreation & Sports DATE: October 3, 2019 SUBJECT: Christmas Celebration Fireworks Request CC: Bill Mrdeza, Community Services Division Director Chris Bundy, Director of Parks & Public Spaces Starting in January of 2019 the Recreation Department assumed responsibility for all special events that had previously been handled by the Downtown Development Department – including the Christmas Celebration. The 2018 Christmas Celebration included a fireworks show at the conclusion of Saturday night’s parade, which was very well-received by the community. Upon taking over, staff has been consistently asked about whether we would be including another fireworks display at the 2019 Christmas Celebration. 95.3 WCFX has agreed to partner with the City in order to make this happen. WCFX would obtain sponsorship dollars for the fireworks display and handle all financial obligations related to the display. The fireworks display would be handled by Wolverine Fireworks Display, Inc. Wolverine is a Michigan-based fireworks display company which has been in business since 1979 and has extensive experience throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Wolverine has become one of the largest importers of display fireworks and puts on some of the largest displays in Michigan and the United States. Wolverine was most recently the company that coordinated the Isabella County Fair fireworks. Working with Wolverine Fireworks Display, Inc. of Kawkawlin, Michigan, and the City’s Fire and Parks departments, we have agreed to use the same location as 2018 within Island Park that meets the necessary setback from residential and commercial buildings and air traffic. This location will require a temporary closure of Island Park for the set-up and launch of the pyrotechnics, approximately 10 hours. Please see attached map for proposed location. The Department of Public Safety will continue to work with the Recreation Director and Wolverine Fireworks Display to ensure all safety requirements are met. Ordinance 133.02 (Ignition, Discharge and Use of Consumer Fireworks) states: A person may ignite, discharge or use consumer fireworks within the city on the day proceeding, the day of, or the day after a holiday, but not between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. The ignition, discharge, and use of consumer fireworks within the city are prohibited on all other days of the year. Defined holidays: (1) New Years’ Day, January 1. (2) Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., the third Monday in January. (3) Presidents’ Day, the third Monday in February. (4) Memorial Day, the last Monday in May. (5) Independence Day, July 4. (6) Labor Day, the first Monday in September. (7) Columbus Day, the second Monday in October. (8) Veterans’ Day, November 11. (9) Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November. (10) Christmas Day, December 25. Since the display will take place on Saturday, December 7th, and is outside the defined holiday list, City Commission authorization is necessary. Requested Action: Request authorization for the Director of the Department of Public Safety to sign the application for fireworks with the State of Michigan Fire Marshal to hold a pyrotechnic display on Saturday December 7, 2019 at 7:00 PM.

Study Committee for Recreation Authority (1) - Mayor Will Joseph NJR/ap COMMISSION LETTER #181-19 MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 14, 2019 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OCTOBER 9, 2019 FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MAKE IT MT. PLEASANT PROGRAM INFORMATION (DOWNTOWN RENT SUBSIDY PROGRAM) AND AGREEMENT WITH LAKE TRUST CREDIT UNION Over the last couple of years the downtown boards have discussed the potential of a rent subsidy program for new businesses locating in our downtown. Earlier this year staff was contacted by Lake Trust Credit Union regarding the implementation of such a program in Mt. Pleasant, which would be fully funded by Lake Trust Credit Union. Lake Trust Credit Union has implemented a similar program in Howell and has offered to fund such a program in Mt. Pleasant. The eligibility requirements and the funding is structured very similar to the Howell program and applies to new businesses and expansion of space for current businesses in the downtown. Although the program would be funded by Lake Trust Credit Union, it should be noted that there is one provision in the guidelines that would result in a potential reduction of revenue to the City of Mt. Pleasant. Item #2 under Program Benefits indicates the City would waive fees and charges up to $2,500 per tenant that is accepted in the program. This waiver of fees would be for one year; could only be used for items such as building permits, sign permits, outdoor merchandise and outdoor dining permits; and would apply to only up to two locations per year. Although this is not a direct cost to the City, it does impact the potential revenue to be received. The downtown Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) has reviewed this program and is recommending approval. The guidelines of the program and the agreement between the City and Lake Trust Credit Union have been reviewed by the City Attorney. It is recommended the City Commission approve the program guidelines and the agreement with Lake Trust Credit Union as presented. Recommended motion: Move to approve the program guidelines for the Make It Mt. Pleasant program and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement with Lake Trust Credit Union as presented. NJR/ap TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager FROM: Michelle Sponseller, Downtown Development Director CC: William Mrdeza, Economic and Community Services Division Director Mary Ann Kornexl, Treasurer and Finance Division Director DATE: October 1, 2019 SUBJECT: Make It Mt. Pleasant Program Background The Make It Mt. Pleasant Program is designed to create vibrancy and business success by supporting new retail, restaurants, arts and entertainment business concepts as a strong downtown enhances the quality of life for Mt. Pleasant residents while also helping to attract visitors. Additionally, there is also an opportunity for this program to assist existing businesses by subsidizing the expansion of their current space when offering new or additional products or services or if starting a new business in a new location within the downtown Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) district. Although the program will focus on first floor commercial spaces, it is not tied to a specific location within the TIFA district. Prospective applicants may choose any location within the downtown TIFA district, providing flexibility for specific business needs. The program is administered through the downtown development office and will be fully funded by Lake Trust Credit Union, not through city funds. The Make It Mt. Pleasant program is modeled after a combination of an existing business incubator program staff had previously developed and Howell’s downtown rent subsidy program which was funded by Lake Trust Credit Union. Funding for this program will be through Lake Trust Credit Union as part of their community reinvestment program. Up to two applicants will be approved per year. Applications will be reviewed in the order in which they are received and considered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Program benefits: 1. 12 months of subsidized rent not to exceed $4,200 total per Tenant on the following schedule: a. Month 1-3 40% subsidy or $500/month maximum b. Month 4-6 20% Subsidy or $400/month maximum c. Month 7-9 10% Subsidy or $300/month maximum d. Month 10-12 5% Subsidy or $200/month maximum 2. Waiver of the following city fees and charges, not to exceed $2,500 per Tenant, while in the program, such as building permits, sign permits, outdoor merchandise, and outdoor dining permits. Please note this does not waive city water and sewer fees, which cannot be waived per the City of Mt. Pleasant Charter and Ordinances, special use permits, site plan and/or rezoning application fees or fees required by the State of Michigan. Requested Action Review and consider the Make It Mt.

PLEASANT BY BY TITLE TITLE SIGNATURE SIGNATURE DATE DATE 85714:00008:4432279-2 COMMISSION LETTER #182-19 MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 14, 2019 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OCTOBER 9, 2019 FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY AND CONSUMERS ENERGY FOR RATE DECREASES AT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM Attached is a recommendation from Public Works Director John Zang for the approval of two contracts with Consumers Energy. If approved, these contracts would change our rate structure at the Water Treatment Plant and a portion of the distribution system from a demand rate to a time of use program. As noted in the communication, this change will not require any adjustment to our standard operating procedures. It is recommended the City Commission authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the time of use contracts with Consumers Energy as presented. These contracts have been reviewed by the City Attorney. Recommended motion: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the time of use contracts with Consumers Energy for the Water Treatment Plant and the facilities at 1775 E. Broomfield Road as presented. NJR/ap TO: Nancy Ridley, City Manager FROM: John Zang, DPW Director DATE: October 3, 2019 SUBJECT: Approve Contracts with Consumers Energy for Rate Change Request: The City Commission is requested to approve two contracts with Consumers Energy to adjust the electric rate for the water treatment plant and facilities at 1775 E. Broomfield (high service pumps, Ranney® well, etc.), and authorize the mayor and clerk to sign the contracts. Reason: Recently, DPW staff met with representatives from Consumers Energy to discuss the different rate plans that Consumer Energy offers. After reviewing the electrical usage for the past 12 months, our account manager determined that switching to their “Time of Use” plan would be more advantageous than staying with our current plan. This plan offers electricity at a lower rate during off peak times of the day. Together, these changes should, with no changes in current usage patterns, save $16,700 annually. Consumers Energy submitted two contracts for approval. These contracts adjust the rate that we pay for electricity for the water treatment plant, along with some wells and the high service pumps used for the water distribution system. The City’s attorney has reviewed the contracts and found no issues or concerns. Recommendation: I recommend the City Commission approve the contracts with Consumers Energy to adjust the electric rate for the water treatment plant and facilities at 1775 E. Broomfield, and authorize the mayor and city clerk to sign the contracts.
