Infill Housing Update - Discussion
Frank Peterson, City Manager, updated the City Commission on the proposed infill program in
the City of Muskegon for rentals that will have an option to own through a partnership with the
City.

Dave Dusendang, Developer, explained the program. The first area they are considering is
Webster between 8th and 9th Street but he is open to any areas within the City. They are
seeking a partnership with the City to build many homes that would be for low to moderate
income. We could use a voucher program. Residents could rent them with the option to
purchase at a later date. The total project is $40,500,000 for approximately 300 homes.

Transmittal of 2020-21 Proposed Budget
Frank Peterson, City Manager, and Ken Grant, Assistant Finance Director, reviewed the
revenue including proposed city income tax for 2020-21 and the impact COVID-19 is projected
to have in the next fiscal year.

An overall view of the expenses were reviewed by the City Manager. It is proposed to transfer a
total of $1 million from this year and next year to help balance the budget.

Commissioners discussed the need for more community programs as well as a report of where
we were, where we are now, and where we are going in growing within our community.

There is a proposed $5 per month increase to water bills for the lead service line abatement
Water was previously approved to increase by 4%.

Update on the Leonard
Construction has been delayed for three months by the bank but we expect it to proceed.

City Hall Construction
We anticipate $200,000 in construction to the second floor re-configuration of city hall not
including cubicles.
Public Comments
Kwame James, 2076 Miner Avenue, questioned the budget for policing.

Debra Warren, 123 W. Larch Avenue, does not support more infill projects in Nelson
Neighborhood and believes they should be shared with other neighborhoods. Would like to
explore social programs.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Staff is requesting authorization to issue a notice to
proceed for the work to clean and paint the railroad bridge over Seaway Drive
between Laketon Avenue and Hackley Avenue.
Bids for the project were previously approved at the February 25, 2020

the amount of $68,385.00. Staff has prepared the contract documents with
Seaway Painting but has not issued the notice to proceed at this time pending
review of the private fundraising campaign for the project.
Fundraising is still ongoing. A Patronicity crowdfunding campaign is expected to
begin in June. A number of commitments have been made, but in order to
receive the matching dollars for Patronicity, those donations cannot be finalized
until the campaign commences. It is anticipated that the City’s contribution will
be $10,000-$15,000 in cash towards the Seaway Painting contract from the
Public Improvement Fund. In addition to the cash contribution the City will
proved in-kind services in the form of traffic control for the work, which is

cleaning and coating project. The mural work is not expected to require any
additional cash contribution on behalf of the city but would again require an in-
kind donation in the form of traffic control services for the project, estimated at
approximately the same amount as for the initial cleaning and coating.
MDOT has been engaged on the project and has agreed to participate in the
form of reimbursement for a portion of the traffic control costs from the cities
state trunk line budget. The exact amount is yet to be determined.
If approved the intention is for the cleaning and coating with Seaway Painting

   A. Public Hearing on Harbor West LLC Brownfield Plan, 1000-1060 West
      Western Avenue Economic Development
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To hold a public hearing on the request for a Brownfield
Plan Amendment for Harbor West LLC (Hartshorn Village) and to consider the
resolution.
Harbor West LLC proposes a Brownfield Amendment for 1000, 1010, and 1060
West Western Avenue for its first phase of the Hartshorn Village residential site
condominiums. The $5 million+ initial investment is for the first 10 of an expected
approximately 50 units. The former Shaw-Walker Co. parking lot was sold by the
city to Harbor West in 2018. The initial $5.597 million brownfield plan is a local-only
property tax capture. State eligible environmental costs are $250,000, $19,500 for
demolition, $626,000 for site preparation and $3.946 million for infrastructure

                                           Page 4 of 7
improvements. The majority of the infrastructure costs ($3.502 million) are to
upgrade the city’s adjacent Hartshorn Marina and for a joint-use pool and
clubhouse fort he condo owners and marina slip holders. The sales and
development agreement between the city and Harbor West calls for the city to
provide the buyer up to $600,000 for brownfield eligible costs. The city would
receive the first $600,000 of property tax capture, then Harbor West for its
remaining eligible costs and finally with the marina upgrade being covered last.
There is a 15 percent contingency in the plan, no request for interest borrowing
and it is a 30-year plan. The plan allows for a continued five-year capture of tax
increments for a local Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund if there is time left in the
30 years after all eligible costs are covered. There is an annual $10,000
administrative fee paid to the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority. The BRA
approved the Harbor West Brownfield Amendment as its May 12, 2020 meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:       To close the public hearing and approve the
Brownfield Plan Amendment for Harbor West LLC (Hartshorn Village) at 1000-
1060 West Western Avenue with the resolution, authorizing the Mayor and City
Clerk to sign.

Executive Summary 

This is a request for a minor change to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) for The Docks that 
was approved by the City Commission on June 25, 2019. Damfino Development, LLC is 
requesting to relocate the beach amenity from the north side of the proposed channel to the 
south side of the channel, increasing size and accessibility to neighboring residents. This change 
will result in an increase in open space and a decrease in residential units. 

 

Amendment to PUD 

The locations of the items in the following list are identified on EXHIBIT A.  

 

   A. The proposed boardwalk and platform in Muskegon Lake will be eliminated from the

       request to remove all remnants of the old sand load out conveyor. 
   B. The beach/open space will be removed from the plan and replaced with a buildable lot, 
       new #66. All lot numbers above 65 have been renumbered.  
   C. Lot #70 (now #71) is increased in size. 
   D. Lots 114 – 116 are removed from the plan and a beach will be created in this area. A 
       permit application with the United States Army Corps of Engineers will include a request 
       to remove the rip rap from the shoreline except as needed to protect the willow tree 
       and the relocated cul‐de‐sac. 
   E. The south wall of the channel is being moved with a consequent reduction in width from 
       140’ to 120’. 
        
EXHIBIT B is a revised site plan reflecting the above changes.

Commission Meeting Date: June 23, 2020                 Title: GIS Technician

Submitted By: Leo Evans                                Department: Public Works

Brief Summary: Staff is requesting authorization to eliminate the Administrative Assistant position
within the Engineering Department and create a new position for a GIS Technician.

Detailed Summary: Prior to COVID staff had met and discussed the need for a dedicated staff
member to manage and utilize the GIS (Geographic Information Systems) data for the City. The
discussion was tabled due to COVID. At the end of May the DPW Administrative Supervisor
(Leigh Ann Archer) retired and the DPW Administrative Assistant (Christy Cashin) was promoted
leaving the Administrative Assistant position open.

Staff is requesting permission to not fill the Administrative Assistant position and rather to reallocate
that full time position towards creation of a new position for a GIS Technician. The GIS Technician will
work within the Engineering Department but provide services to multiple departments within the city,
namely water/sewer and major/local streets. The work formerly performed by the Administrative
Assistant will be redistributed between the Administrative Supervisor, the five (5) CSRII Positions at
DPW, and the newly created GIS Technician.

Based on current and projected workloads the need for a GIS Technician is greater than the need for
the Administrative Assistant.

Amount Requested: $0                                  Amount Budgeted: $0

Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A                            Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A

Recommended Motion: Authorize staff to eliminate the Administrative Assistant position at DPW and
create a new position for a GIS Technician.

Check if the following Departments need to approve the item first:
Police Dept.
Fire Dept.
IT Dept.

Brief Summary: City staff is seeking authorization to sell the city-owned home at 569 Oak Avenue to
Lamont Vines of 789 Oak Avenue

Detailed Summary: The city accepted this property from the delinquent tax sale with the intention of

is to renovate it. We have agreed to a $1 sale price. Mr. Vines is going to purchase the property for $1 and
place $1,500 on escrow with the City; once he completes replacement of the roof, we will refund/release
his $1,500 deposit. He will have 90 days to comply.

Brief Summary: City staff is seeking authorization to sell the city-owned home at 395 Houston to
Meisha Brown.

Detailed Summary: The city constructed this house as part of the phase two of our infill housing program.
Our contract to construct the home was $197,464. We also anticipated $11,844 in sales commissions. The
accepted purchase price is $196,000. The City will also contribute $5,800 toward closing-related costs. The
total amount requiring brownfield gap financing will be approximately $7,200-$7,500. The 3.5% gap is
significantly smaller than anticipated in the Brownfield Plan, and also significantly smaller than gap in the
initial phase of the in-fill project (Midtown Square).

Submitted By: Frank Peterson                                Department: City Manager

Brief Summary: We have finalized our city hall construction budget at $203,717.14 plus architectural
and contingencies. Staff is seeking approval to hire Platinum Contracting Group to manage the project.

Detailed Summary: Over the past 2 years, we have worked to reallocate space on the second floor of
city hall. The plan has been finalized and the costs are included in the 2020-21 FY Budget. The goal of
the reorganization is to allow for visitors to have easier and more convenient access to city
departments. The recent developments with COVID-19 has impacted our design. We are seeking to use
Platinum Contracting to manage the project – a number of local contractors will be completing the work
(all work was competitively bid by Platinum on our behalf). Much of the planning was done during
COVID-19, which did limit our ability to meet with contractors, but we are comfortable with the bids
received. The goal of using a project manager vs a general contractor is to provide the most flexibility
during construction. The building is older, and has many specialty design components (especially HVAC
and electrical); we need to have the ability to change course if we find a more efficient/affordable way
to complete the work. For example, moving to new cubicles instead of offices will likely save $50,000 to
$60,000 in construction costs. Note that we are only completing work on the space that will house
Planning, CNS, Economic Development, and the City Manager’s Office. We are also exploring an
additional project that would move the public side of the police department into the current CNS space
to provide a more inviting space for the public to visit the police administration, community officer, etc.

Amount Requested: $229,588.00                              Amount Budgeted: $$200,000

Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A                                 Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A

Recommended Motion: Authorize city staff to hire Platinum Contracting to complete the renovation of the
second floor of city hall at a cost not to exceed $229,588.70, inclusive of architectural fees and contingency.

Commission Meeting Date: June 23, 2020                      Title: Rental Housing Pilot Program

Submitted By: Frank Peterson                                Department: City Manager

Brief Summary: Staff is proposing a Pilot program to incentivize privately-funded residential rental
development in our core neighborhoods. The Pilot program seeks to leverage upfront capital from
residential developers in exchange for semi-affordable rents, property tax flexibility and shared risk in the
rental market.

Detailed Summary: We are proposing the framework of a Pilot program that we would use to initially
partner with West Urban Homes to construct 50 units on vacant city lots. The program is expected to be
applicable to many different builders/developers and many different housing types and densities. As the
City tries to revers 40+ years of neighborhood disinvestment, it is important that we acknowledge the areas
that make us less-attractive for development than urban areas. Some of those items are more in our
control than others. This program focuses strictly on developer return on investment – with the goal of the
city acting as a partner to help ensure that a major investment in rental housing neither fails to cashflow
nor causes unreasonable increases in local rents. Many times, affordability and profitability contradict one
another – this Pilot Program is designed to help attain both.

Amount Requested: $                                        Amount Budgeted: $

Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A                                 Fund(s) or Account(s): N/A

Recommended Motion: To accept the Letter of Intent from West Urban Homes and authorize the City
Manager and City Attorney to finalize the draft Development Agreement for formal approval at the July 14
City Commission meeting.

Check if the following Departments need to approve the item first:
Police Dept.        Fire Dept.        IT Dept.

                                    Muskegon City’s Scattered Site Brownfield Project

City of Muskegon
Department of Planning & Economic Development
933 Terrace St.
Muskegon, MI. 49440

It is our pleasure to submit this letter of intent to participate in the City’s Pilot Program focused on incentivizing the
infilling of vacant lots with a combination of market-rate and semi-affordable rental units. Muskegon is currently
experiencing a shortage in quality rental housing – both for affordable units and market-rate units. We recognize that
residential development in the core neighborhoods is beneficial to the City. We need to provide reasonably-attainable,
high-quality housing for the residents/employees needed to continue this strong economic growth in Muskegon.

Project Summary

The Project will include 100 new rental housing units, with the goal of growing the number to fill the 600+ vacant lots
spread throughout the city’s core neighborhoods. We would include one- and two-story dwellings serving the residents
and possibly some “live-work” small business tenants. We expect this to be the first phase of a multi-phased approach,
and will comprise units designed to fit within the building boundaries on the various vacant lots and designed to fit into
the character of the neighborhoods. The infill dwellings will include between 900 and 2,000 square feet, and include the
following types:

     •    Single-Family housing                            •   Multi-Family subdivision
     •    Single-Family subdivision                        •   Scattered-site housing
     •    Multi-Family housing                             •   Live/Work housing
Project Benefits

The construction of new single-family and multi-family rental housing can substantially enhance the lives of medium and
low-income families and accommodate renters earning 120% or less of the Muskegon County Area Median Income
(AMI) within the community by offering them an increased number and variety of affordable NEW housing options. This
partnership to construct new single-family and multi-family rental housing, will help fill a void that the private sector has
not been able to fill for the past 30-40 years in Muskegon. The construction of new rental housing can also expand the
City’s development program as follows:

    1.     Increase real estate taxes (based 2019 rate & Development Agreement) on vacant lots maintained by the City
          by approximately $4,650 per unit.
    2.    Provide additional employment and sales opportunities for Muskegon by approximately $15,000,000 for
          construction material sales and subcontractor labor.
    3.    Provide additional long-term employment opportunities as Property Management and Property Services for the
          life of each dwelling.
    4.    Reduce cost for the City’s annual property maintenance on the vacant lots.
    5.    Reduce cost for the City’s annual liability insurance on the vacant lots.
    6.    Provide between 90,000 – 200,000 sq. ft. new housing alternative to Muskegon.
    7.    Provide opportunities to grow the city’s population in anticipation of future census counts.
    8.    Provide opportunities for a live-work relationship with the surrounding area.
    9.    Give current residents an opportunity to move from marginal/substandard rentals to newer and more energy-
          efficient rentals within their neighborhood.
    10.   Provide the community with new residents who will work and shop in the area.

The Project will give positive energy to the City’s core neighborhoods and provide additional housing diversity that
complements the make-up of the neighborhood.

Project Specifics

The Project anticipates attracting a mix of residents including urban families, professionals, young-professionals, empty-
nesters and active seniors. The units will include high-quality construction. Every building site will need a unique design
to accommodate the lot size and the characteristics of the neighborhood.

Unit Mix:
    • Two/Three Bedrooms / 1-3 Baths
    • Some with Attached Garages, Some without
    • Some with Detached Garages, Some without
    • Some with raised porches, Some without
    • Some with Patios/Decks, Some without
    • Many will meet the visit-able standard, while others will meet liv-able standard.

In closing, we look forward to working with the City of Muskegon on the next phase of “WATCH US GO”!

Sincerely,



Dave D. Dusendang
                              PILOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

       THIS PILOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made on the ____ day of

________, 2020, by and between the CITY OF MUSKEGON, a Michigan municipal corporation,

whose address is 933 Terrace Street, Muskegon, Michigan 49440 (the “City”) and West Urban

Properties, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, whose address is 3265 Walker Avenue,

Suite D, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 49544 (the “Developer”).

                                           RECITALS

       A.     Pursuant to P.A. 381 of 1996, as amended, (“Act 381”), the Muskegon Brownfield

Authority adopted a brownfield plan on ____________ (the “Brownfield Plan”) to add numerous

vacant properties, including ______ (this is where we’ll add all applicable property addresses),

Muskegon, Michigan (the “Property”).

       B.     The Property is included in the City’s Scattered Site Brownfield Project, as

amended by the Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority on ________.

       C.     The City is interested in creating an incentive for developers to create new semi-

affordable residential homes, and intends for this Agreement to be a limited-scope Pilot

Agreement that would be refined, proven, and included in the City’s Tax Incentive Program for

all future rental home developers to access.

       D.     The Developer intends to redevelop the Property into a 100-unit scattered site

residential rental neighborhood where no less than 40% of the units are allocated to tenants with

income levels between 80% and 120% of the Area Median Income, as defined by the Michigan

State Housing Development Authority (the “Project”).
        NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.      Project Completion.

         a.     Developer agrees to purchase the Property in ____ separate parcels.

                i. The Developer will be responsible for all survey work associated with lot line

        adjustments.

                ii. All inspection and permit fees, including water and sewer connection fees, shall

        be the responsibility of the City with the exception of Building Permit fees, which shall be

        the responsibility of the Developer.

        b.      Operating Incentive. In exchange for the Developer’s commitment to allocate 40

semi-affordable units, the City agrees to provide an operating incentive to ensure such

affordability, as follows:

                  i.    Upon completion of the Project, the City’s Assessor shall set a State

Equalized Value (SEV) for the Properties. If the collective SEV is greater than $3,750,000, the

Developer shall have the option to contest the value at the March Board of Review. If the Board

of Review fails to agree with the Developer’s assertion of an SEV no greater than $3,750,000, the

Developer shall have the option to contest the value to the Michigan Tax Tribunal. The City shall

accept any settlement offer equal to or greater than $3,750,000.

                  ii.   In the event that the average rent falls below $1,300 per unit per month,

the City agrees to work with the developer to follow the process described above to reduce the

SEV by 20 percentage points for every $50 reduction in the average per unit monthly rent. For

example, if the average rent is $1,200 per unit per month, the city shall work to reduce the SEV

by 25% to $1,500,000.


                                                 2
                iii.   In the event the average rent rises above $1,300 per unit per month, the

City agrees to work with the developer to follow the process described above to increase the SEV

by 20 percentage points for every $50 increase in the average per unit monthly rent. For

example, if the average rent is $1,400 per unit per month, the city shall work to increase the SEV

by 40% to $5,250,000.

2.     Rental Rates.

       The Developer shall cap the monthly rental rate of the income-restricted units to meet

the RENT LIMITS established annually by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority for

a Muskegon County family earning 120% AMI and renting a 3-bedroom home.

3.     Shared Rental Benefit.

       As an incentive to assist moderate income renters, the Developer may from time to time

rent units at a rental rate below $1,050 per month. In the event the developer rents a unit to an

income-qualified resident for less than $1,050 per month, the city will reimburse the Developer

50% of the difference between the actual rental rate and $1,050 per month. As an incentive to

attract market rate renters, the Developer may from time to time rent units at a rental rate above

$1,525 per month. In the event the developer rents a unit to a tenant for more than $1,525 per

month, the Developer will remit to the city 50% of the difference between the actual rental rate

and $1,525 per month.

4.     Vacancy Assistance.

       During the first 30 days after completion, the Developer shall be responsible for any

vacancy losses. After the 30-day holding period, and during the first 12 months of the completion

of the project, any units remaining vacant or unrented, the City will reimburse the Developer


                                                3
$1,050 per month until the unit is rented or sold. Any unit that remains vacant for more than

three months must be listed on the MLS at a price not more than 110% of cost to construct.

Failure to list the property for sale at not more than 110% of the cost to construct shall render

the City’s obligation to provide vacancy assistance invalid.

5.     Term of Agreement.

       The Developer’s obligations under this Agreement shall terminate on January 1, 2041 or

upon a sale of the Property that results in an uncapping of the Property’s Taxable Value (the

“Term”).

6.     Notices.

       All notices shall be given by registered or certified mail addressed to the parties at their

respective addresses as shown above. Any party may change the address by written notice sent

by registered or certified mail to the other party.

7.     Assignment.

       Developer shall have the right to assign all of its rights and delegate all of its obligations

under this Agreement to either an existing or a newly created entity, provided, however, that no

assignment shall operate as a release of the Developer. Except as otherwise set forth above,

neither party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the

consent of the other party, which consent may be withheld in such other party’s sole discretion.

8.     Arbitration.

       Any and all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or in connection with or

relating to this Agreement, or any breach or alleged breach thereof, shall, on the request of either

party, be submitted to and settled by arbitration in the State of Michigan pursuant to the rules,


                                                 4
then in effect, of the American Arbitration Association (or at any other place or under any other

form of arbitration mutually acceptable to the parties involved). This Agreement to arbitrate shall

be specifically enforceable under the prevailing arbitration law. Notice of the demand for

arbitration shall be filed, in writing, within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute, or other

matter in question arose where the party asserting the claim should reasonably have been aware

of it, but in no event later than the applicable Michigan statute of limitations. Cost of arbitration

shall be shared equally by the parties, provided that each party shall pay for and bear the cost of

his or her own experts, evidence, and attorney fees. Judgment on the award rendered by the

arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction to do so.

9.     Entire Agreement.

       This Agreement supersedes all agreements previously made between the parties relating

to the subject matter. There are no other understandings or agreements between them.

10.    Non-Waiver.

       No delay or failure by any party to exercise any right under this Agreement, and no partial

or single exercise of that right, constitutes a waiver of that or any other right, unless otherwise

expressly provided herein.

11.    Headings.

       Headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret

or construe its provisions.

12.    Governing Law.

       This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the

State of Michigan.


                                                 5
13.    Counterparts.

       This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be

deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14.    Binding Effect.

       The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all the

parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

       The parties have executed this Agreement on the date set forth above.
