Memorandum
To: Mayor and Commissioners
From: Frank Peterson
Re: City Commission Meeting
Date: December 7, 2017
Here is a quick outline of the items on our agenda(s):
REMINDER – THESE ARE THE ONLY MEETINGS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER
WORK SESSION
1. We will discuss a proposed Critical Dune Ordinance. The ordinance is recommended for
approval by both staff and the Planning Commission. The ordinance mirrors the state
statute and has been reviewed by the Michigan DEQ. The goal of the ordinance is to
improve service to residents and property owners seeking to invest in their
homes/businesses/properties within the defined critical dune area while still protecting
the dune for future generations. As part of the ordinance adoption, staff will be
recommending the hiring of Prism Environmental and Ecological Services to process
applications/requests related to the critical dune area. You can learn more about Prism
here: http://www.prismscitech.com/
This move should help improve permit processing times, reduce permit costs, and give
the city more local control over the preservation of the dune, access to the dune, and
development within the dune area.
2. Other Business. I’d like to use this time to make sure we’re on the same page regarding
the other items on the Tuesday Agenda.
3. Closed Session for the purposes of an attorney/client privileged communication and to
finalize our collective bargaining strategy.
REGULAR MEETING
1. Under the Consent Agenda, we are asking the Commission to consider the following:
a. Approval of meeting minutes from the most-recent City Commission meeting.
b. Approval of an extension of the towing contract with Ramos Towing. Ramos has
done a great job servicing the city and its residents/visitors, and we would like to
exercise our option to extend the contract.
c. Update to the user fee schedule. Note that we are not requesting increases to
water/sewer rates. Some areas where we are requesting increases are as follows:
farmers market, Hartshorn Marina, launch ramps, and the rental registration
program.
d. Approval of the 1st Quarter Budget Reforecast.
e. Purchase of a HUD home are 1025 E Forest Ave. This will be a CNS rehab focused
on low/moderate income buyers.
f. Approval to hire Westshore Consulting to assist with the Trust Fund Grant
awarded for recreational improvements to Pere Marquette Park.
g. Accept and deny certain parcels from the county treasurer. These properties were
not claimed at the 2017 tax sale. We are only recommending that a handful are
accepted to the city can do due diligence to determine if they should be rehabbed
or demolished. A decision on the final disposition of these properties will not
come until 2018.
h. Approval of changes to the non-represented employees’ pay/benefits. We are
recommending a 1% cost of living adjustment as well as an increase in the
residency incentive from 2% to 3% for 2018. Additionally, we are asking for some
changes to the vacation conversion process and the sick-time cash out policy. We
are also recommending that the tuition reimbursement program be enhanced and
expanded to help garner more interest from employees, and are further
recommending that a residency program be established for bargaining units
effective July 2018.
i. We are seeking approval of a bicycle ordinance that mirrors the ordinance recently
passed in Norton Shores. The purpose of the ordinance is to set standards for
motor vehicle operators to properly share the roadway for bicyclists, and
specifically to keep their distance from the bicyclists when passing them on the
roadway.
j. Approval of control system upgrades at the Water Filtration Plant.
k. Authorization to add five more chalets to the Western Market for 2018. We are
proposing to take a different route with the new chalets, and will be purchasing
pre-built shells, and using Tim Harvey to finish them to match the character of the
existing chalets. We have a long waiting list of new vendors and 10 of the 11
vendors from 2017 will be returning for 2018. The Western Market was well-
received by the community and we see it as an important component in
incubating a sustainable brick/mortar retail market in downtown Muskegon. To
date, three of our vendors have added storefronts in the Muskegon Area (two
downtown).
2. Under New Business, we are asking the Commission to consider the f:
a. Transmittal of the 6/30/17 Comprehensive Annual Financial report (Audit).
b. First reading of the critical dune ordinance.
Let me know if you have any questions/comments/concerns

Page 1 of 3
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: This past summer, the City engaged with Alcogare LLC
to scan a number of documents for digital archiving and storage. The scanning

plans and site plans – the total quantity was unknown at the onset of the

MOTION PASSES
C. Sale of Parking Lot City Manager
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City Commission previously authorized the City
Manager to enter into an agreement to sell Pigeon Hill Brewing a portion of the
city-owned parking lots on Shoreline Drive to accommodate the company’s
expansion plans. The agreement originally called for Sub-Parcels 1 and 2
(collectively Parcel A) to be sold to Pigeon Hill Brewing and Sub-Parcel 3 (now
identified as Parcel B) to be retained by the City of Muskegon. Upon completion
of the formal property survey, it was determined that the size of Parcel A is now
insufficiently sized to accommodate Pigeon Hill’s expansion. Parcel B is
sufficiently sized to accommodate the expansion. Accordingly, staff is asking the
City Commission to amend the original purchase agreement by replacing
Parcel A with Parcel B, which would leave Parcel A in the city’s ownership and
place Parcel B in Pigeon Hill Brewing’s ownership.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize City Manager to sign the purchase
agreement and proceed with the sale of Parcel B.
Motion by Commissioner Warren, second by Commissioner Johnson, to
authorize the City Manager to sign the purchase agreement and proceed with
the sale of Parcel B.

RE: Towing Contract Extension (Ramos Towing)
_______________________________________________________
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Director of Public Safety requests that the City Commission review and consider
approving a contract extension with our current service provider, Ramos Towing. Currently,
Ramos Towing provides towing/impoundment/storage service for the City of Muskegon.
Ramos Towing has been under authorized contract services for towing for the last four (4)
years (01/14/2014 to 01/14/2017). Staff will review the current contract in 2018, and begin
exploring and preparing a “competitive bid process” to select an acceptable tow service
upon expiration of this contract (01/14/19).
Ramos Towing is willing to extend towing services for another one (1) year extension
(01/14/2019) and/or until a new contract can be established/approved. This is the second
and final one (1) year extension allowed in the current contract.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None – current contract language in effect until 01/14/2019
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this extended towing contract agreement until a new contract
is explored and accepted.

RE: Request to Deny & Accept Properties that did not

determine which ones to accept.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To deny and accept certain parcels and authorize both the Mayor and the Clerk to sign said
resolution.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
None.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To adopt the ordinance as presented.
CITY OF MUSKEGON
COUNTY OF MUSKEGON
STATE OF MICHIGAN
AN ORDINANCE TO ADD SECTION 92-33 OF THE CITY OF MUSKEGON CODE OF
ORDINANCES TO ADDRESS THE PASSING OF BICYCLES
ORDINANCE NO.___________
THE CITY OF MUSKEGON ORDAINS:
Section 92-33. Rule 598 of Article III of Chapter 92 of the City of Muskegon City Code is
added to read as follows:
(1) Rule 598. – Passing of bicycles. Except when overtaking and passing on the
right is permitted, the following rules shall govern a driver of a motor vehicle
overtaking a bicycle proceeding in the same direction:
a. If there is more than one lane for traffic proceeding in the same direction,
move the vehicle to the lane to the immediate left, if the lane is available and
moving into the lane is reasonably safe.
b. If there is only one lane for traffic proceeding in the same direction, pass to
the left of the person operating a bicycle at a safe distance, which must be not
less than 5 feet between any portion of the vehicle and the bicycle, and shall
not move again to the right side of the highway until the vehicle is safely clear
of the overtaken person operating a bicycle
c. The driver of a motor vehicle may drive to the left of the center of a roadway,
including when a no passing zone is marked, to pass a person operating a
bicycle only if the roadway to the left of the center is unobstructed for a
sufficient distance to permit the driver to pass the person operating the bicycle
safely and avoid interference with oncoming traffic. This paragraph does not

Muskegon Water Filtration Plant Superintendent

Muskegon, MI 49441
Re: Muskegon Water Filtration Plant
Control System Upgrades Design, Programming, Bidding and Startup Services.
Dear Mr. Mungarwadi:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit our professional services proposal to assist the
City of Muskegon with upgrading the Water Filtration Plant (WFP) and remote facilities
programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
Tetra Tech has been involved with the City of Muskegon WFP control system since the
early 1990’s and continues to serve the City of Muskegon with control system design,
implementation and programming tasks from a verity of our most experienced
engineering staff, some who have been involved with engineering related tasks for the
City for nearly 30 years.
Our service to the City of Muskegon includes design and implementation of the entire
existing control system, including the remote pump stations & tanks as well as many
upgrades at the WFP. Tetra Tech staff are always a phone call away and have assisted
the WFP staff on many occasions, including outside of normal business hours.
Based on our discussions it our understanding that you would like to upgrade the WFP
and several remote facility PLC’s along with the WFP Wonderware SCADA software. It is
our understanding that you plan to replace the current PLC-5 processors and related
input/output (I/O) cards with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix L7x series processors and I/O
for the following control panels:
Main Processor Panel (MPP):
o Upgrade existing MPP PLC’s, Communication and Redundancy cards to be
compatible with the latest Rockwell equipment.
o MPP Rack 11 & 12
o Pretreatment Building Control Panel I/O
o 1972 High Service Pump Station Control Panel I/O
Tetra Tech
710 Avis Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108
Tel 734.665.6000 Fax 734.213.3002 www.tetratech.com
o 1928 Pump Station Control Panel I/O
o 1963 Low Service Pump Station Control Panel I/O
o Filter Control Panel No. 1 I/O (All 4 racks)
o Filter Control Panel No. 2 I/O (2 racks)
Multipurpose PLC and associated I/O.
Elevated Tank upgrades for Nims, Roberts, Marshall and Harvey.
Upgrade Harvey Booster Station PLC and related I/O.
The end-goal is to achieve replacement of the ageing PLC-5 and SLC 500 type processors
and related I/O for the WFP and related remote facilities (excluding Township and
County sites).
Tetra Tech proposes an approach that essentially places the new ControlLogix
equipment in parallel with the existing PLC5 equipment then existing wiring will be
migrated on a rack-by-rack basis utilizing the Rockwell wiring migration kits. This will
minimize operational disruptions.
In addition you desire system programming and onsite field work to upgrade the
existing Wonderware computer system software from the existing Wonderware 2012 to
the latest version 2017 on City provided computer hardware.
Recommendations
The Main Processor Panel (MPP) PLC was updated to ControlLogix around 2005 but the
existing components need to be updated to work with the latest Rockwell Ethernet
communication cards. The related MPP input/output (I/O) rack components remain the
older PLC-5 type and are over 20 years old and should be considered for replacement
due to their age. This also applies to the Allen-Bradley PLC-5 & SLC 500 equipment at
the remote sites (Elevated Tanks and Booster Stations) excluding the County and
Township sites.
In addition it should be known that Rockwell (Allen-Bradley) has fully retired the PLC-5
line of programmable logic equipment including all PLC’s, I/O cards and related
equipment. The equipment is no longer available for purchase from the manufacture.
A migration project will require hardware upgrades and programming modification of
the existing PLC-5 and remote SLC 5/03 PLC programs to the newer Logix style programs
as well as revise the existing Wonderware Intouch HMI software input/output (I/O)
drivers & tag-name database as well as the Wonderware Historian to achieve
communications to the new logic controllers and associated hardware.
To minimize impact to the daily operations of the treatment plant Tetra Tech
recommends the use of the Allen-Bradley PLC-5 wiring migration solution kits which
utilizes a PLC-5 backplane replacement plate and pre-wired ControlLogix connection

wiring. This is the most cost effective and least disruptive method to migrate to the new
PLC platform based on our experience with these types of projects. This will
substantially reduce the labor that would normally be required by an electrician.
The migration kits would allow a contractor to perform the installation in the shortest
amount of time thus minimizing operational disruptions. Tetra Tech would provide
required programming, on/off site technical assistance, and onsite system
commissioning services.

RE: Community Relations Index: Policy Relative to
Attendance
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To change attendance reporting policy from
quarterly to annual.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of reporting attendance annually.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Community Relations Committee
unanimously voted to approve the reporting of attendance to annually.
POLICY RELATIVE TO ATTENDANCE AT CITY MEETINGS
ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 14, 1982
The Community Relations Committee presented a policy regarding attendance for the many boards,
commissions, and committees serving the City of Muskegon as follows:
Instead of trying to formulate a hard and fast policy regarding attendance for the many boards, commissions,
and committees with their various needs and schedules, the Community Relations Committee believes it would
be more feasible to rely on the Chairperson of each group to manage the issue. The City Commission could
then just assess attendance performance using regular reports from the Chairperson of each group.
Consequently, the Community Relations Committee recommends that, through acceptance of this letter, the
City Commission adopt the following policy regarding the attendance of Commission appointees to the various
boards, commissions, and committees serving the City of Muskegon.
The Chairperson of each board, commission, or committee shall be responsible to see that
attendance is recorded at each meeting.
When deemed appropriate by the Chairperson, a letter will be sent to any member whose
attendance is not satisfactory. The letter shall ask if the member is interested in continued
appointment.
On an annual basis, each Chairperson shall submit a report to the City Commission showing
member attendance and indicating correspondence notices sent to members.
At any time the Chairperson deems it appropriate to do so, that Chairperson may recommend
replacement of a member for reasons related to the member's attendance.
Communications to the City Commission shall be sent to the City Clerk for forwarding to
Commission.

RE: Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance – Critical Dunes
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Staff-initiated request to amend Section 2310 of the zoning ordinance to adopt a
local critical dune ordinance. Act 451 of 1994, the Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Act, allows municipalities to enact their own critical dune
ordinance and enforce it themselves, rather than relying on the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality to do so. Staff anticipates that this will speed up the approval
process for projects located in critical dune areas.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None
BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:
None
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
To approve the zoning ordinance amendment.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance
amendment at their November 16 meeting.
Staff Report (EXCERPT)
CITY OF MUSKEGON
PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
Hearing, Case 2017-30: Request to amend the zoning ordinance by adopting a local critical dune ordinance,
per Public Act 451 of 1994, the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act.
SUMMARY
1. Critical Dunes in Michigan are regulated by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality
(MDEQ). Anyone doing work in a critical dune must first receive a permit from the MDEQ. These
permits can take several months to get approved, so it often times slows down projects.
2. Act 451 of 1994 allows local municipalities to enact their own critical dune ordinance and enforce it
themselves. Staff has created the enclosed draft ordinance, which has been reviewed by the MDEQ.
3. Staff plans to either enforce the ordinance in-house by doing our own inspections or possibly
contracting with a private firm for inspections.
4. Please see the enclose map that shows the locations of Critical Dunes in Muskegon.
5. Please see the eclipsed proposed ordinance.
NEW LANGUAGE
SECTION 2310: Critical Dune Overlay District
1. Purpose. In keeping with the findings of the Michigan legislature and the authority granted to local
government in Public Act 451 of 1994, as amended, the City of Muskegon hereby declares that:
a. The critical dune areas within the City of Muskegon are a unique, irreplaceable, and fragile
resource that provide significant recreational, economic, scientific, geological, scenic, botanical,
educational, agricultural, and ecological benefits to the people of this community, to the state, and
to the people from other states and countries who visit this resource.
b. The purpose of this ordinance is to balance for present and future generations the benefits of
protecting, preserving, restoring, and enhancing the diversity, quality, functions, and values of the
state's critical dunes with the benefits of economic development and multiple human uses of the
critical dunes and the benefits of public access to and enjoyment of the critical dunes. To
accomplish this purpose, this ordinance is intended to do all of the following:
• Ensure and enhance the diversity, quality, functions, and values of the critical dunes in a
manner that is compatible with private property rights.
• Ensure sound management of all critical dunes by allowing for compatible economic
development and multiple human uses of the critical dunes.
• Coordinate and streamline governmental decision-making affecting critical dunes through
the use of the most comprehensive, accurate, and reliable information and scientific data
available.
c. The benefits derived from alteration, industrial, residential, commercial, agricultural, sylvicultural,
and the recreational use of critical dune areas shall occur only when the protection of the
environment and the ecology of the critical dune areas for the benefit of the present and future
generations is assured.
d. The following regulations embodied in this Dune Overlay Zone are adopted as the minimum
measures necessary to achieve these ends.
2. Definitions – As used in this section,
a. "Contour change" includes any grading, filling, digging, or excavating that significantly alters the
physical characteristic of a critical dune area, except that which is involved in sand dune mining.
b. "Crest" means the line at which the first lakeward facing slope of a critical dune ridge breaks to a
slope of less than 1-foot vertical rise in a 5-1/2-foot horizontal plane for a distance of at least 20
feet, if the areal extent where this break occurs is greater than 1/10 acre in size.
c. "Critical dune area" means a geographic area designated in the "Atlas of Critical Dune Areas"
dated February 1989 that was prepared by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and any
other locally designated sand dune areas included on the City of Muskegon Zoning Map.
d. "Driveway" means a privately owned, constructed, and maintained vehicular access from a road or
easement serving the property to the principal building or accessory buildings, that is paved,
graveled, or otherwise improved for vehicular access, 16 feet wide or narrower in the sole
discretion of the applicant or owner, and may include, in the sole discretion of the applicant or
owner, a shared driveway.
e. "Foredune" means one or more low linear dune ridges that are parallel and adjacent to the shoreline
of a Great Lake and are rarely greater than 20 feet in height. The lakeward face of a foredune is
often gently sloping and may be vegetated with dune grasses and low shrub vegetation or may have
an exposed sand face.
f. "Permit" means a permit for a use within a critical dune area.
g. "Restabilization" means restoration of the natural contours of a critical dune to the extent
practicable, the restoration of the protective vegetative cover of a critical dune through the
establishment of indigenous vegetation, and the placement of snow fencing or other temporary
sand trapping measures for the purpose of preventing erosion, drifting, and slumping of sand.
h. “Sand dune mining” means the removal of sand from sand dine areas for commercial or industrial
purposes.
i. "Special use project" means any of the following:
• A proposed use in a critical dune area for an industrial or commercial purpose regardless of
the size of the site.
• A multifamily use of more than 3 acres.
• A multifamily use of 3 acres or less if the density of use is greater than 4 individual
residences per acre.
• A proposed use in a critical dune area, regardless of size of the use, that the planning
commission determines would damage or destroy features of archaeological or historical
significance.
j. "Use" means a developmental, sylvicultural, or recreational activity done or caused to be done by a
person that significantly alters the physical characteristic of a critical dune area or a contour change
done or caused to be done by a person. Use does not include sand dune mining.
3. Area Affected. The provisions of the Dune Overlay Zone apply to all lands so depicted on the City of
Muskegon Zoning Map which is a part of this ordinance. These lands include the entire critical dune area
as designated by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources pursuant to Public Act 451 of 1994, and
to such other lands as locally designated and depicted thereon. Locally designated sand dunes together with
dunes designated under Public Act 451 shall be known as critical dune areas for the purpose of this
ordinance. Lands that are within 250 feet of a critical dune area, that are determined by the Planning
Commission to be essential to the hydrology, ecology, topography, or integrity of a critical dune area shall
also receive all the protection afforded to critical dunes in the Overlay Zone, even if not so depicted on the
City of Muskegon Zoning Map.

a. A structure and access to the structure on a slope within a critical dune area that has a slope that
measures from a 1-foot vertical rise in a 4-foot horizontal plane to less than a 1-foot vertical rise
in a 3-foot horizontal plane, unless the structure and access to the structure are in accordance
with a site plan prepared for the site by a registered professional architect or a licensed
professional engineer and the site plan provides for the disposal of storm waters without serious
soil erosion and without sedimentation of any stream or other body of water.
b. A use on a slope within a critical dune area that has a slope steeper than a 1-foot vertical rise in
a 3-foot horizontal plane.
c. A use involving a contour change if the Zoning Administrator determines that it is more likely
than not to increase erosion or decrease stability.
d. Sylvicultural practices, as described in the "Forest Management Guidelines for Michigan",
prepared by the Society of American Foresters as revised in 2010, if the City of Muskegon
determines that they are more likely than not to increase erosion or decrease stability.
e. A use that involves a vegetation removal if the Zoning Administrator determines that it is more
likely than not to increase erosion or decrease stability.
13. Site Plan Review. When reviewing a site plan submitted, along with all the application information
required, the Zoning Administrator shall:
a. Ensure that the requirements of the zoning ordinance have been met and the plan is consistent
with existing laws.
b. Determine whether the advice or assistance of Muskegon County will be helpful in reviewing a
site plan, and if so, to so seek it.
c. Recommend alterations of a proposed development to minimize adverse effects anticipated if
the development is approved and to ensure compliance with all applicable state and local
requirements.
d. Determine that the proposed use will ensure and enhance the diversity, quality, function and
values of the critical dune in a manner that is compatible with private property rights; allows for
compatible economic development and multiple human uses of the critical dune, using the
most competent, accurate and reliable information and scientific data available.
14. Use Standards. Any lot or parcel which in whole or part which falls within the Dune Overlay Zone and/or
within 250 feet outside the Dune Overlay Zone that is determined by the Planning Commission to be
essential to the hydrology, ecology, topography, or integrity of a critical dune area shall not be used except
upon receipt of a permit from the Zoning Administrator. No zoning permit shall be issued for the use of
land within this zone or within 250 feet outside the zone that is determined by the Planning Commission to
be essential to the hydrology, ecology, topography, or integrity of a critical dune area until a site plan
meeting the requirements of this Section and those of Article XXIII, Section 2330, have been met. If
requested, the Planning Commission will make the final determination as to whether or not these standards
have been met and shall exercise its lawful discretion in all cases in favor of protection of the critical dune
area.

Management Division following the procedures of this ordinance.
18. Nonconforming Uses. The lawful use of land or a structure, as existing and lawful within a critical dune
area in the time of the adoption of this overlay zone, may be continued although the use of that land or
structure does not conform to the provisions of this overlay zone. The continuance, completion, restoration,
reconstruction, extension or substitution of existing nonconforming uses of land or a structure may
continue consistent with the nonconforming use requirements of this Ordinance. See Article XXII,
Section2202.
19. Rebuilding of Lawful Structures. A structure or use located in a critical dune area that is destroyed by fire,
other than arson for which the owner is found to be responsible, or an act of nature, except for erosion, may
be rebuilt or replaced if the structure or use was lawful at the time it was constructed or commenced; and a
replacement structure and its use may differ from that which was destroyed if it does not exceed in size or
scope that which was destroyed.
20. Variance. The Zoning Board of Appeals may grant a variance from the requirements of this overlay zone
if an unreasonable hardship will occur to the owner of the property if the variance is not granted. The
procedural requirements of Article XXIII (Site Plan Review) and Article XXV (Zoning Board of Appeals)
shall be adhered to. A variance shall be subject to the following limitations:
a. The Zoning Board of Appeals may issue variances under Article XXV of the zoning ordinance
if a practical difficulty will occur to the owner of the property if the variance is not granted. In
determining whether a practical difficulty will occur if a variance is not granted, primary
consideration shall be given to assuring that human health and safety are protected by the
determination and that the determination complies with applicable local zoning, other state
laws, and federal law. If a practical difficulty will occur to the owner of the property if the
variance is not granted, a variance shall be granted under this Section unless the Zoning Board
of Appeals determines that the use will significantly damage the public interest on the privately
owned land, or, if the land is publicly owned, the public interest in the publicly owned land, by
significant and unreasonable depletion or degradation of any of the following:
• The diversity of the critical dune areas within the local unit of government.
• The quality of the critical dune areas within the local unit of government.

b. The decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals shall be in writing and shall be based upon
evidence that would meet the standards in Section 75 of the Administrative Procedures Act of
1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.275. A decision denying a variance shall document, and any
review upholding the decision shall determine, all of the following:
• That the City of Muskegon has met the burden of proof under subsections 1A
through 1C.
• That the decision is based upon sufficient facts or data.
• That the decision is the product of reliable scientific principles and methods.
• That the decision has applied the principles and methods reliably to the facts.
• That the facts or data upon which the decision is based are recorded in the file.
c. The City of Muskegon shall not require an environmental site assessment or environmental
impact statement for a variance except for a special use project.
d. A variance shall not be granted from a setback requirement provided for under Section 35034
pursuant to Part 353 of the Public Act 451 of 1994 unless the property for which the variance is
requested is one of the following:
• A nonconforming lot of record that is recorded prior to July 5, 1989, and that becomes
nonconforming due to the operation of Part 353.
• A lot legally created after July 5, 1989 that later becomes nonconforming due to natural
shoreline erosion.
• Property on which the base of the first landward critical dune of at least 20 feet in
height that is not a foredune is located at least 500 feet inland from the first foredune
crest or line of vegetation on the property. However, the setback shall be a minimum of
200 feet measured from the foredune crest or line of vegetation.
21. Penalties. In addition to the penalty provisions of this Ordinance, the provisions of Public Act 451 of 1994
shall apply in the event of any violation. Pursuant to the Public Act, a court may impose on a person who
violates any provision of this Dune Overlay Zone, or a provision of a permit issued hereunder, a civil fine
of not more than $5,000 for each day of violation, or order a violator to pay the full cost of the full cost of
restabilization of a critical dune area or other natural resource that is damaged or destroyed as a result of a
violation, or both. If a person is ordered by the Zoning Administrator to restore a critical dune that has
been degraded by that person, the Zoning Administrator shall establish a procedure by which the
restoration of the critical dune area is monitored to assure that the restoration is completed in a satisfactory
manner.
22. Applicable Law. Incorporated by reference herein is Part 353, Michigan Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Act, PA 451 of 1994, as amended.

resource that provide significant recreational, economic, scientific, geological, scenic, botanical,
educational, agricultural, and ecological benefits to the people of this community, to the state, and
to the people from other states and countries who visit this resource.
b. The purpose of this ordinance is to balance for present and future generations the benefits of
protecting, preserving, restoring, and enhancing the diversity, quality, functions, and values of the
state's critical dunes with the benefits of economic development and multiple human uses of the
critical dunes and the benefits of public access to and enjoyment of the critical dunes. To
accomplish this purpose, this ordinance is intended to do all of the following:
• Ensure and enhance the diversity, quality, functions, and values of the critical dunes in a
manner that is compatible with private property rights.
• Ensure sound management of all critical dunes by allowing for compatible economic
development and multiple human uses of the critical dunes.
• Coordinate and streamline governmental decision-making affecting critical dunes through
the use of the most comprehensive, accurate, and reliable information and scientific data
available.
c. The benefits derived from alteration, industrial, residential, commercial, agricultural, sylvicultural,
and the recreational use of critical dune areas shall occur only when the protection of the
environment and the ecology of the critical dune areas for the benefit of the present and future
generations is assured.
d. The following regulations embodied in this Dune Overlay Zone are adopted as the minimum
measures necessary to achieve these ends.

owner, a shared driveway.
e. "Foredune" means one or more low linear dune ridges that are parallel and adjacent to the shoreline
of a Great Lake and are rarely greater than 20 feet in height. The lakeward face of a foredune is
often gently sloping and may be vegetated with dune grasses and low shrub vegetation or may have
an exposed sand face.
f. "Permit" means a permit for a use within a critical dune area.
g. "Restabilization" means restoration of the natural contours of a critical dune to the extent
practicable, the restoration of the protective vegetative cover of a critical dune through the

17. Department of Environmental Quality Review. Prior to issuing a permit allowing a special use project
within a critical dune area, the Planning Commission shall submit the special use project application and
site plan and their proposed decision to the Department of Environmental Quality, Land and Water
Management Division following the procedures of this ordinance.
18. Nonconforming Uses. The lawful use of land or a structure, as existing and lawful within a critical dune
area in the time of the adoption of this overlay zone, may be continued although the use of that land or
structure does not conform to the provisions of this overlay zone. The continuance, completion, restoration,
reconstruction, extension or substitution of existing nonconforming uses of land or a structure may
continue consistent with the nonconforming use requirements of this Ordinance. See Article XXII,
Section2202.
19. Rebuilding of Lawful Structures. A structure or use located in a critical dune area that is destroyed by fire,
other than arson for which the owner is found to be responsible, or an act of nature, except for erosion, may
be rebuilt or replaced if the structure or use was lawful at the time it was constructed or commenced; and a
replacement structure and its use may differ from that which was destroyed if it does not exceed in size or
scope that which was destroyed.
20. Variance. The Zoning Board of Appeals may grant a variance from the requirements of this overlay zone
if an unreasonable hardship will occur to the owner of the property if the variance is not granted. The
procedural requirements of Article XXIII (Site Plan Review) and Article XXV (Zoning Board of Appeals)
shall be adhered to. A variance shall be subject to the following limitations:
a. The Zoning Board of Appeals may issue variances under Article XXV of the zoning ordinance
if a practical difficulty will occur to the owner of the property if the variance is not granted. In
determining whether a practical difficulty will occur if a variance is not granted, primary
consideration shall be given to assuring that human health and safety are protected by the
determination and that the determination complies with applicable local zoning, other state
laws, and federal law. If a practical difficulty will occur to the owner of the property if the
variance is not granted, a variance shall be granted under this Section unless the Zoning Board
of Appeals determines that the use will significantly damage the public interest on the privately
owned land, or, if the land is publicly owned, the public interest in the publicly owned land, by
significant and unreasonable depletion or degradation of any of the following:
• The diversity of the critical dune areas within the local unit of government.
• The quality of the critical dune areas within the local unit of government.
• The functions of the critical dune areas within the local unit of government.
b. The decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals shall be in writing and shall be based upon
evidence that would meet the standards in Section 75 of the Administrative Procedures Act of
1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.275. A decision denying a variance shall document, and any
review upholding the decision shall determine, all of the following:
• That the City of Muskegon has met the burden of proof under subsections 1A
through 1C.
• That the decision is based upon sufficient facts or data.
• That the decision is the product of reliable scientific principles and methods.
• That the decision has applied the principles and methods reliably to the facts.
• That the facts or data upon which the decision is based are recorded in the file.
c. The City of Muskegon shall not require an environmental site assessment or environmental
impact statement for a variance except for a special use project.
d. A variance shall not be granted from a setback requirement provided for under Section 35034
pursuant to Part 353 of the Public Act 451 of 1994 unless the property for which the variance is
requested is one of the following:
• A nonconforming lot of record that is recorded prior to July 5, 1989, and that becomes
nonconforming due to the operation of Part 353.
• A lot legally created after July 5, 1989 that later becomes nonconforming due to natural
shoreline erosion.
• Property on which the base of the first landward critical dune of at least 20 feet in
height that is not a foredune is located at least 500 feet inland from the first foredune
crest or line of vegetation on the property. However, the setback shall be a minimum of
200 feet measured from the foredune crest or line of vegetation.
21. Penalties. In addition to the penalty provisions of this Ordinance, the provisions of Public Act 451 of 1994
shall apply in the event of any violation. Pursuant to the Public Act, a court may impose on a person who
violates any provision of this Dune Overlay Zone, or a provision of a permit issued hereunder, a civil fine
of not more than $5,000 for each day of violation, or order a violator to pay the full cost of the full cost of
restabilization of a critical dune area or other natural resource that is damaged or destroyed as a result of a
violation, or both. If a person is ordered by the Zoning Administrator to restore a critical dune that has
been degraded by that person, the Zoning Administrator shall establish a procedure by which the
restoration of the critical dune area is monitored to assure that the restoration is completed in a satisfactory
manner.
22. Applicable Law. Incorporated by reference herein is Part 353, Michigan Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Act, PA 451 of 1994, as amended.
23. Severability. If any section, clause, or provision of this Ordinance be declared unconstitutional or otherwise
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, said declaration shall not affect the remainder of the
Ordinance. The City Commission hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance and each part,
section, subsection, phrase, sentence and clause irrespective of the fact that any one or more parts, sections,
subsections, phrases, sentences or clauses be declared invalid. However, if any provision of the Ordinance
is declared invalid, the City must seek written confirmation from the DEQ that the Ordinance still complies
with Part 353, Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, PA 451 of 1994, as
amended.
