Lansing, MI 48933importance than knowledge of human beings."

Email Address: malley@a, lansingmi.govWeb Address: www.lansingmi.gov/police

This is my final Lansing Police Department Annual report message. After 24 years as a Lansing Police Officer and 10years as Chief of Police, I will retire on March 12, 2010. I have truly loved my 24 year career with the Lansing PoliceDepartment and serving the past 10 years as your Chief of Police. Even though I am excited about starting this newphase of my career, I am also sad about leaving the Lansing Police Department. Mayor Bernero, former Mayor Hollisterand former Mayor Benavides all gave me the opportunity to be Chief of the greatest police department in the countryand for that I will always be in their debt. After 10 years of doing what many would call one of the most challenging jobsin Mid-Michigan, I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every minute of it. I care deeply for the men and women of theLansing Police Department, the Board of Police Commissioners, and all the people who live, work and visit our fine

community. I prepare to depart knowing that plans and processes are in place to continue moving the Lansing Police Department forward, with leadersready, willing, and able to fill my shoes.

Together we have persevered and overcome with vast amounts of planning, training, and coordination as a result of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, makingour community safer in the process. We have been a leader in the Country on traffic stop data collection and training with each analysis showing, as anorganization, we do not practice biased-based policing. We started a scholarship program for the neediest children in Lansing and we were able to raiseover 3 million dollars in permanent endowment so these disadvantaged young people can attend college and avoid a life of crime. Our technology hasgrown by leaps and bounds making us a more efficient and effective organization. We apprehended a serial killer who was preying on our elderly femalecitizens and we took down a major drug organization with an operation that stretched from coast to coast. Together we have engaged our citizens in theCommunity Policing Philosophy in a way that would have made Dr. Robert Trojanowicz proud and we have consistently reduced crime in our city.

There is no question that we have some difficult times ahead with the current statewide budget crisis. Even with that, I have every confidence that thenext 10 years will be as productive for the Lansing Police Department as the last 10. The reason I am so confident of this is because of the dedicatedmen and women who work for the department. It is our people that make the LPD shine. No matter what the job is, we would not have succeededwithout a total team effort. The commitment to this career makes our employees unique as each of them could have taken their talents to another jobthat was safer and much less stressful.

To the family members of our employees, please accept my heartfelt apologies for all of the holidays and special events you have missed with yourloved one because of this important work. I would also like to thank the thousands of citizens who have over the years volunteered their time and talentsto assist in keeping our community safe. I can say without hesitation or equivocation that Lansing has the very best and most engaged citizens to befound anywhere. After reflecting on my 10 years as Chief of Police, I could not agree more with the above quote by Chief August Vollmer. Thisprofession is truly about understanding and showing care and compassion for your fellow human beings. I wish the Lansing Police Department andcitizens of Lansing nothing but the best in years to come. God bless and stay safe.

sage from Captain Ray 44allNorth Precinct bivigion

It was an exciting and successful year at the North Precinct. Once again, Part One crimes trended down while ourenforcement activities such as drunk driving increased. Other crime categories such asdrug enforcement and major crime investigations remained solid.

The dedication and professionalism of the women and men who work out of the NorthPrecinct were on display numerous times during this past calendar year, at events like"Touch a Truck" which is held annually in the North Precinct parking lot and attractedhundreds of Lansing families, and the Black Child and Family Institutes Annual Picnic,where Jeff Winarski, the new Community Policing Officer, was introduced and could befound dancing with Mayor Virg Bernero and other community leaders to a energetic hiphop tune.

Officers at the North Precinct, such as Detective Michelle Bryant, continued to take aleadership role in the Police Athletic League. Detective Bryant and many other NorthPrecinct officers organized activities that kept our precinct gym and conference roomabuzz with the laughter of young people being mentored by Lansing Police Department's

finest. Officer Phil Bailey worked with the Police Athletic League and organized Shop with a Cop, which proved to be themost successful Shop with a Cop activity in our Department's history.

Sergeant Darin Southworth is just one more example of the spirit of giving back to our community that permeates throughthe North Precinct. Sergeant Southworth was once again responsible for coordinating the Torch Run and the Polar BearPlunge which benefits the Special Olympics.

Officer Gary Masseau made his famous hot and delicious Chili for the 2009 Chili Cook-off. His "North Precinct Law Dog"chili was the rave at this well attended event. When it comes to volunteering their own time and giving back to theircommunity, chances are those individuals work at the North Precinct. At the North Precinct, it is not a motto to give back;it is a way of life. It is our philanthropic strategy to involve as many officers as possible in giving back to the community,because we are convinced that doing so not only benefits the people we serve, but also benefits the individual officer andcreates a positive culture here at the Lansing Police Department. As the precinct commander, serving out of the NorthPrecinct for the past seven years, there are few things that I take more pride in than serving with the quality of women andmen who pin their badges on their uniforms with pride and professionalism. These fine officers place their lives on the linewithout the slightest hesitation because they are committed to serving the good folks here in our community. I often getasked, "Why is it your officers are so motivated and positive?" I can't help but think of a quote from Benjamin Franklin thatsays "It is the workinq man who is the happy man. It is the idle man who is the miserable man." A lot of good work wasaccomplished in 2009 and we are committed to doing even more in 2010.

Captain Tereo ^z9rnan9kinet ivioion

The Lansing Police Department South Precinct celebrated a fantastic year. The year washighlighted by an 8.5% reduction of Part One crimes in South Lansing, the addition of onecommunity policing officer and the increase of our Neighborhood Watch by twenty sevenwatches.

Our successes this year have been the result of many people doing many things right.South Precinct is fortunate to have community members fostering a culture of gettinginvolved instead of ignoring problems, and working with police as partners. This

partnership ensures South Lansing is a safe place to work, live and enjoy recreational activities.

The South Precinct Community Policing areas were increased by one with the addition of Officer Billy Windom. OfficerWindom is assigned to the Orchard Court Corridor and works a variety of hours. In addition to patrolling his neighborhood,Officer Windom works with the Michigan Prisoner-Entry Program. He makes house checks on parolees when requested,handles complaints against the parolees from citizens, attends meetings with the parole office and travels to Ionia Prison forthe orientation meeting with new parolees that will be returning to the Lansing area on the MPRI program.

Drug house complaints continue to be a concern of our community. The South Precinct collaborated with our SpecialOperations Section and S.T.A.R.T. in executing 40 raids in South Lansing to resolve neighborhood complaints of suspecteddrug trafficking. Our proactive policing efforts are designed to create a better quality of life for our citizens, visitors andourselves.

As we enter the new year we will be faced with new challenges. The men and women of the Lansing Police Departmentare committed to facing these challenges in a manner that reflects the desire to deliver quality police service to ourcommunity.

A Me99age from Lieutenant Larry Klaus$pecial Operationo Section

As the supervisor of the Special Operations Section, I have been honored to serve withthe officers of this section since 2005. The primary mission of the section is to keepLansing a safe place to live, work, and to raise a family.

The Special Operations Section confronts the difficult issues involved in narcotic trafficking,vice, organized crime, and criminal gangs. Our primary goal is the aggressive investigation

and apprehension of dangerous felons in an effort to improve the quality of life for the citizens of Lansing. The men andwomen of the section work tirelessly in an effort to discourage and apprehend individuals involved in drug trafficking, drughouse operations, vice offenders, prostitution offenders, gun traffickers, and violent criminals.

The Special Operations Section works with our law enforcement partners at both the state and federal levels in an effort toenhance the prosecution of violent offenders in the greater Lansing community. The partnerships include the United StatesAttorney's Office, The Ingham County prosecutor's office, The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, The DrugEnforcement Agency, The Internal Revenue Service, The Federal Bureau of Investigations, The Michigan State police, andlocal law enforcement agencies.

In 2009 the Special Operations Section collaboratively worked with the U.S. Department of Justice on the Project SafeNeighborhoods initiative. In 2010 the section expanded their partnerships and will be collaborating with the School ofCriminal Justice at Michigan State University. The partnership was developed through the submission and award of$299,998 through the U.S. Department of Justice, "Smart Policing Initiative" Grant. The Section will be working closely withSchool of Criminal Justice at Michigan State University and with our law enforcement partners in an effort to assist our youthand distressed neighborhoods that are experiencing an increase in narcotic trafficking and housing related issues.

The men and women of the Special Operations Section on a daily basis perform exceptional work, in some the most difficultand dangerous of work environments. As their commander, I could not be prouder of their commitment to their duty, and fortheir service to the Lansing Police Department and to the citizens of this community.

A

eaa Front Lieutenant Woe! Gordaetaff Services I)Ni9ionLieutenant Noel Garcia oversees Central Records and the Property and Supply Unit (PSU).Central Records is responsible for processing and maintaining information on criminalreports, arrest records, traffic reports, and traffic citations. Central Records submits crimestatistics to the state and FBI, train employees in the records management system, processfreedom of information requests, supply criminal histories to civilians and agencies,fingerprint citizens for employment and licensing, seal defendant records as ordered by thecourt, process licenses to purchase and gun registration, operate the department's AFIS(Automated Fingerprint Identification System), examine latent prints from crime scenes, and...................

handle subpoena delivery. These tasks are performed by R. Davis, K. Lucas, W. Kim, J. Pierce, M. Cole, A.Vanderlaan, and R. Shively.

The Department now utilizes an electronic traffic crash system allowing officers to complete accident reports in theirvehicles which reduces turnaround time for making the reports available to citizens.

Improvements in technology of our patrol cars have increased patrol visibility as our officers will now dictate reports andcomplete accident reports while in their patrol vehicles. The goal is to keep officers on patrol and available for calls forservice instead of being committed to a desk writing reports.

The Property and Supply Unit (PSU) is operated by Sergeant B. Cantlon, Officer A. Berish, and D. Abercrombie. PSUreceives, catalogs, and stores all items of evidence. They also track and issue all Departmental equipment and uniforms. Allevidence items are bar coded and computerized for tracking purposes. The Quartermaster Unit is currently trackingapproximately 130,000 pieces of evidence in its system. Of that number, approximately 38,000 of those items are active. In2009, 9,681 items were added to the system and 5,421 were returned or destroyed.

The Quartermaster Unit continued the inventory conversion of all old homicide cases. This project put all homicide evidenceback to the 1960's into the modern bar coded tracking system.

In addition, the PSU is currently tracking all firearms in an effort to assist the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco &Firearms (ATF) in their E-Trace system. This Federal Grant is helping to track and solve additional firearm related crimes inthe City Of Lansing.

RE: Z-6-2010, Regent & Leslie StreetsRezoning from "B" Residential District to "DM-1" Residential District

Dear Mayor Bernero:

The Lansing Planning Board, at its regular meeting held on August 4, 2010, voted (5-0) torecommend approval of the request by David Muylle to rezone the properties at 124, 126, 130 & 134Regent Street & 127, 131, 135, 139 & 141 Leslie Street from "B" Residential to "DM-1" Residential.The purpose of the rezoning is to allow the applicant to combine all of the lots and create a plannedresidential development that would consist of 14 condominium units. The existing duplex at 127-129 Leslie and the single family homes at 139 & 141 Leslie and 124, 126 & 134 Regent are includedin the 14 units of the development. Seven new single family homes would be constructed.

The Planning Board found, based on testimony, evidence and the staff report, that the proposedrezoning will have no negative impacts on traffic, the environment or future patterns of developmentin the area. In addition, the proposed development is consistent with zoning patterns in the area andwith the goals being advanced in the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan.

At the Planning Board public hearing held on August 4, 2010, the applicant, his civil engineer andone other person spoke in favor of the request. No no other comments were received.

ANALYSIS

COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDINGLANDUSE

The immediate area surrounding the subject property is comprised of a mix of single and multiplefamily dwellings with commercial uses located approximately 100 feet to the north along E.Michigan Avenue. The proposed development will have a density of 12.9 dwelling units per acre.The properties that immediately surround the subject property have densities ranging from 9.9 unitsper acre to 41 units per acre. Therefore, the density proposed by the applicant will be compatiblewith the density that already exists in the area.

With respect to the layout of the development, the applicant is proposing to retain the existingbuildings that front along Leslie and Regent Street and align the new buildings with the front yardsetbacks that have already been established in these blockfaces. Since the proposed setbacks are lessthan the required 20 foot front yard setback, the applicant applied for and was granted variances bythe Board of Zoning Appeals, at its July 8, 2010 meeting, to permit the setbacks as shown on theattached site plan.

There is a 30 foot storm sewer easement that runs through the center of the property. Sincestructures cannot be built over the easement, the applicant has designed this area as the commonopen space for the project that includes a community garden and a greenhouse. The buildings will beclustered around the common area in order to create an atmosphere where neighbors can interact andtake advantage of the shared resources.

There will be two parking spaces provided for each of the units. One of the parking spaces will becovered and the other will be open. Since one of the goals of the development is to encourage lessreliance on automobiles, and with t he development located 100 feet for Bus Route No. 1, it isrecognized that both parking spaces may not be necessary. To that end, the applicant intends todesign the garages to that they can also be used for covered patios.

COMPLIANCE WITHMASTERPLAN

The master plan designates the subject property and the surrounding area for residential use with adensity of 0-7 dwelling units per acre. While the proposed zoning does not comply with the specificland use designation contained in the master plan, it is consistent with the goals of the master planwhich is to concentrate higher density residential land uses near commercial corridors and major busroutes so that residents can become less dependent on automobiles. The master plan also encouragesstep down zoning patterns where the higher density residential uses create a buffer between the lowdensity residential areas and the commercial areas. As evidenced by the attached zoning map, thiszoning pattern already exists to an even more extensive degree on the east side of Regent Street.

Z-6-2010

124, 126, 130 & 134 RegentStreet


IMPACTONVEHICULARANDPEDESTRIANTRAFFIC

Given the volume of traffic that already exists on Regent and Leslie Streets, the traffic generated byan additional seven units will be negligible. From a pedestrian standpoint, the site was selectedbecause of its close proximity to E. Michigan Avenue which is a commercial corridor and a majorbus route. The site is being designed to create a pedestrian friendly environment where the residentscan be less dependent on automobiles for basic goods and services and can easily access the CATAbuses.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The site will be designed in the most environmentally sensitive manner possible. By maximizinggreen space on the site, using pervious pavement and creating rain gardens, storm water run-off willbe minimal. Furthermore, the applicant will retain as many mature trees on the site as possible inorder to provide shade and protect the natural environment. The applicant is also proposing energyefficient building construction and design.

The site was chosen, in part, because of its close proximity to the E. Michigan Avenue commercialcorridor, which is also a major bus route so that the residents of the development do not have to becompletely dependent on private transportation. Reducing motorized traffic will have a very positiveimpact on the environment in general. Less traffic results in less pollution created by the greenhousegas emissions that motorized vehicles produce and less wear and tear on the roads.

IMPACT ON FUTURE PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT

The impact of this project on future patterns of development will be positive. The applicant'sproposal is to incorporate the new buildings into the existing development while preserving as muchof the natural environment as possible. Revitalizing existing neighborhoods through infilldevelopment in the City of Lansing is essential to creating a housing market that can compete withother, less urbanized communities in the greater Lansing area. Infill development delivers newhousing stock that also creates a multitude of positive social and economic externalities, such asneighborhood revitalization, neighborhood reinvestment, slower suburban expansion, and the re-creation of walkable, transit-oriented communities. The proposed project will hopefully serve as acatalyst for other neighborhood infill projects in the City of Lansing, particularly in those areaswhere public transportation is readily available and many convenience goods and services canobtained without the use of a privately owned automobile.

The 7 new units will be designed to with zero thresholds and fully accessible which will support"aging in place". Providing housing to individuals with special needs in a neighborhood atmosphereand in close proximity to goods, services and transit is vital to the continued vitality of Lansingneighborhoods.

Q: Resource and System Planning - Regent and Leslie Streets

July 22, 2010

TO: City of Lansing Planning OfficeDepartment of Planning & Neighborhood DevelopmentSuite D-1 316 N. Capitol AvenueLansing, Michigan 48933-1236

FROM: Carolyn Snow, Owner, 122 Leslie, 136 Leslie

SUBJECT: Public Hearing on August 4, 2010 regarding rezoning

I own 2 properties on Leslie Street across the street from 127-129 and across the streetfrom 139 and 141 Leslie. This rezoning will dramatically affect my 2 properties. Oneyear ago, in 2009, I met Dale Muylle and asked if he would be interested in purchasing136 Leslie or possibly both of my properties. He told me that he had recently purchasedthe duplex 127-129 so he was "financially strapped" because he was also restoring 141Leslie. I am also aware that he totally restored 139 Leslie and was even giving tours (Iwas invited, by Dale) of this property. In July, 2009, my renters moved out of 122 Leslie.After nearly one year of solid advertising, I was able to rent this house in June, 2010. Myhouse at 136 Leslie was vacated by renters also in July, 2009. I spent 8 months of solidadvertising on this house and finally rented this house in March, 2010. I have owned myhouses over 20 years and 2009 was the first time that I have NOT been able to rent eitherof these houses. The rental market in this area has declined in recent years and several ofthe houses in this area have stood vacant.I TOTALLYOPPOSE rezoning this residential district to "DM-1 " for the sake ofbuilding 14 condominium units. I believe this would totally destroy the neighborhood.The owners of houses on Leslie street who live in their homes have done an excellent jobof restoring them, taking care of them, giving them great curb appeal and being greatneighbors. We don't need condominiums which will "degrade" the neighborhood. I'mcertain that in this economic market, whether Dale is planning on SELLING orRENTING these proposed units, there is neither the "buying dollars nor rental dollars" tofill 14 units.My other big concern: WHERE IS THE MONEY to build these 14 units??? He justpurchased 127-129 last year. plus 141 is a "work in progress." The City told me that thereis no City money or grants going into this project and that they don't know where themoney is coming from.A few years ago, another "BIG DREAMER" came to the area and bought several of theproperties on Leslie Street, renovated them, rented them out then lost all of them. Thehouses sat empty and the neighborhood began to go down-hill. I see the same thinghappening if the Planning & Neighborhood Development approve this rezoning. I'm alsotold that the City "thinks very highly of Dale." Well, that's wonderful, however, itdoesn't make good business sense to approve a neighborhood-destroying financiallyquestionable project just because "he's a highly thought-of individual."PLEASE DO NOT REZONETHIS PROPOSAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Act-5-08, Washington Ave. Armory, 2500 S Washington Ave.

Dear Mayor Bernero:

The Lansing Planning Board, at its regular meeting held on August 3, 2010, the Planning Board votedunanimously (5-0) to recommend approval of Act-5-08, the proposal to acquire a fee simple interest inthe Washingon Ave. Armory at 2500 S. Washington.

The parcel the Armory sits on is made up of three subparcels, corresponding to the separate propertytransactions with the State (see attached survey). Subparcels A and B are covered by a reverterclause, and Subparcel C is not. So the City would be able get the armory building and most of theproperty back for free, but must pay the State fair market value for Subparcel C, which includes thefrontage on S. Washington and the back half of a storage building on the North side of the building.

The City already uses the building under temporary arrangements, but must acquire the property in itsentirety to use it on a permanent basis.

Section 208 of the Administration Code requires that the Planning Board conduct an Act 33 review toevaluate the public interest of proposals to purchase or sell property. The Board reviewed theproposal in accordance with its Act 33 review criteria, and found that assuming full ownership of theArmory property is in the public interest.

The Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of Act-5-08, the proposal to purchase thearmory property in its entirety, including Subparcel C.

Following your review of this matter, please refer this case to City Council for its consideration.


Sincerely,

Memo

TO:

Planning Board

FROM:

Bill Rieske, Asst. Planning Manage

DATE:

July 29, 2010

RE:

Act-5-08 - Washington Ave. Armory, 2500 S. Washington Ave.

This property is located west of Washington Ave., immediately north of Washington Park. The Cityproposes to acquire full ownership for use as a City facility.

The City sold the Armory site to the State of Michigan back in the `60s, and the State built the armoryand used it for a Military Affairs facility. The State has discontinued use, and the part of the propertythat includes the old armory building reverts back to the City.

The parcel the Armory sits on is made up of three subparcels, corresponding to the separate propertytransactions with the State. See the attached survey. Subparcels A and B are covered by a reverterclause, and subparcel C is not. So the City would be able get the armory building and most of theproperty back for free, but must pay the State fair market value for Subparcel C, which includes thefrontage on S. Washington and the back half of a storage building on the North side of the building.

The State is allowing temporary use of and access to the entire property, but cannot deed the entireparcel without payment. The buildings and grounds are currently being used for a number of CityGovernment activities; including, but not limited to:

• City Clerk Election Center. Storage of City voting machines and election supplies.Offices for City Clerk for distribution and collection of absentee ballots. Training spacefor election workers. Central tabulation of election results.

• Periodic training for Lansing Police Department, including acting as a host site for multi-jurisdictional training such as K9 training

• Lansing Fire department training.• Civic organizations, training and social service provider events.• Tri-County police dive team offices, training and equipment storage.• Storage of Fire Dept. maintenance and fire evidence, Public Service equipment and

supplies, Human Resources and Community Services supplies, and Building equipmentand supplies.

The planned future use at this time is for continued varied municipal uses yet to be determined.

To acquire permanent use of the building, the City needs ownership of the entire parcel, includingSubparcel C. Building a driveway access from Washington Park, and splitting off Subparcel C is out

x^. Please recycle


of the question because it would result in an unbuildable parcel (the current subparcel C) which isagainst code.

In 2008, Subparcel C was offered for sale at an appraised price of $44,000. A more recent appraisalreduced the price to $22,000, making it more affordable and desirable.

Staff Recommendation.

Section 208 of the Administration Code requires an Act 33 review to evaluate the public interest ofproposals to purchase or sell property.

Staff recommends a finding that assuming full ownership of the Armory property is in the publicinterest, and a recommendation that the City purchase the armory property in its entirety, includingSubparcel C.

SPECIFICINFORMATION

This is a request by Creekside Asset Management to revise the approved Planned ResidentialDevelopment for the East Village development located on the south side of Saginaw Street, betweenPennsylvania Avenue and Marshall Street. The applicant proposes to reduce the number of multiplefamily buildings/units and increase the number of single family detached residential units, resultingin a total reduction of the number of units in the development from 177 to 125.

Background Information

The subject property is the former site of the Boys Training School which was a correctional facilityfor juvenile offenders between1855 tand1901. Since that time, the property has primarily been usedfor passive recreation by the surrounding schools and neighborhoods.

A development plan for the subject property, known at the Boys Training School (BTS) Plan wasadopted by the City of Lansing in 1992. The BTS plan was a result of extensive public participationand dedicated work by a study committee that consisted of representatives from the city and from thesurrounding neighborhoods and institutions.

In 2003, the City of Lansing approved PRD-1-03 which was a request by the Burton-KatzmanDevelopment Company to implement the BTS plan by developing a total of 177 condo units on thesubject property. The approved PRD consists of 6, 12-unit condo buildings, 12, 6-unit condobuildings and 33 single family homes, for a gross density of 7.2 units per acre. The property went upfor Sherriff's sale in June, 2009 and is now owned by Bank of America. The applicant has an optionto buy on the property, but would like to amend the approved PRD in order to modify the numberand style of the units. The streets, utilities and green space areas are already in place and very fewmodifications will be needed to accommodate the proposal.

ANALYSIS

INTENT OF PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT:

Section 1280.01 of the Zoning Code states that the intent of the Planned Residential DevelopmentChapter of the Code is "to permit flexibility in the regulation of land development; to encourageinnovation in land use, design and type of structures constructed; to achieve economy and efficiencyin public services and utilities; to encourage useful open space; and to provide better housingdevelopments which are particularly suited to the needs of the residents of the City."

The PRD regulations allow a +developer to construct a variety of housing units at a dwelling unitdensity greater than the density allowed in the zoning district if specific design standards are met.These requirements address design issues ranging from building heights and setbacks to open spaceand energy conservation techniques. The types of housing permitted in a PRD according to Section1280.04 include:

* a one-family dwelling;* a two-family dwelling;* a townhouse;* a multiple dwelling;* an accessory building;* a public park or playground and recreational facility; and* off-street parking.

The proposed PRD complies with the intent of such developments as described above. Furthermore,the applicant is not requesting bonus density for this development.

PRD-1-2010


Page 4

EVALUATIONCRITERIA:

The criteria to be used in the evaluation of Planned Residential Developments is detailed in Section1280.02(d) of the Zoning Ordinance. These criteria and their relationship to this request are asfollows:

1. IS THE PROPOSED PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT DESIGNED,CONSTRUCTED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED IN A MANNERHARMONIOUS WITH THE CHARACTER OF ADJACENT PROPERTY ANDSURROUNDING USE?

The basic layout of the site with regard to street and green space areas will not change. Theproposal is to eliminate the remaining multiple family buildings that have not yet beenconstructed and increase the number of single family units. This will result in a reductionfrom 177 total units to 125 units. The density will change from 7.5 units per acre to 5.3 unitsper acre. The amount of green space will increase by approximately .17 acres. As evidencedby the attached plan, the changes will have no impact on the surrounding area as all of theproposed changes are interior to the site.

2. DOES THE PROPOSED PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CHANGETHE ESSENTIAL CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA?

The proposed development will not change the essential character of the surrounding area.As previously stated, the changes simply involve reducing the number of units in order tocreate more single family condos as opposed to attached or stacked condominiums. Thegeneral layout of the site will not change and thus, neither will the character of the area.

3. DOES THE PROPOSED PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT INTERFEREWITH THE GENERAL ENJOYMENT OF ADJACENT PROPERTY? .

The proposal will not interfere with the enjoyment of adjacent properties. The layout of thesite was reviewed as part of the original PRD approval to ensure that it was compatible withthe surrounding area. Reducing the number of units on the site will make the property evenmore compatible with the surrounding area as a reduction in the number of units will result ina reduction in the amount of traffic on Saginaw Street.

4. WILL THE PROPOSED PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTAN IMPROVEMENT TO THE USE OR CHARACTER OF THE SUBJECTPROPERTY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA IN GENERAL, AND WILL THEUSE BE IN KEEPING WITH THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE LOT?

PRD-1-2010


Page 5

An increase in the amount of green space will make the site even more environmentallyfriendly and will place a lesser demand on the public storm sewer system.

5. WILL THE PROPOSED PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT BEHAZARDOUS TO ADJACENT PROPERTIES, OR INVOLVE USES, ACTIVITIES,MATERIALS OR EQUIPMENT WHICH ARE DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH,SAFETY AND WELFARE OF PERSONS OR PROPERTY THROUGH THEEXCESSIVE PRODUCTION OF TRAFFIC, NOISE, SMOKE, ODOR, FUMES ORGLARE?

The proposed changes will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of thecommunity. In fact, reducing the number of units will also reduce the volume of trafficgenerated by the development which will have a positive impact on the area.

6. CAN THE PROPOSED PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT BEADEQUATELY SERVED BY ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIESOR IS IT DEMONSTRATED THAT THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THEPROPOSED PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS ABLE TOCONTINUALLY PROVIDE ADEQUATELY FOR THE SERVICES ANDFACILITIES DEEMED ESSENTIAL TO THE PLANNED RESIDENTIALDEVELOPMENT UNDER CONSIDERATION?

The site is already served by all necessary utilities.

7. WILL THE PROPOSED PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PLACEDEMANDS ON PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES IN EXCESS OF CURRENTCAPACITY?

The proposal will not place demands on public facilities in excess of current capacities. Infact, by reducing the number of units, the demands on the surrounding roadways and on theutility systems will be reduced.

8. IS THE PROPOSED PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CONSISTENTWITH THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE ZONING CODE AND THEOBJECTIVES OF THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN?

The proposal is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Code and with theobjectives of the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan and the Boys Training SchoolDevelopment Plan. The "C" Residential Zoning District permits up to 11 dwelling units peracre. The Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan designates the property for up to 14 units peracre while the BTS Development Plan recommended a maximum density of 10.5 units per

PRD-1-2010


Page 6

acre. The original PRD represented a density of 7.5 units per acre. The current proposalwould reduce the density to 5.3 units per acre, which is still well within the density rangebeing advanced in all of these documents. In fact, the proposal will actually make the densityof the subject property even more consistent with the density of the surrounding residentialareas which is approximately 6-7 dwelling units per acre.

The proposal will also be consistent with the report from the BTS Advisory Committee datedApril 3, 2003 which specifically recommended:

"That the developer incorporate design modifications recommended by theCommittee that would enable more single family detached homes to be constructed."

At the time, housing market conditions did not support this recommendation. However, thehousing market has drastically changed and the new developer feels that single familydetached condominiums are for more favorable to the current market conditions than themultiple family condominiums that were originally proposed.

9. WILL THE PROPOSED PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT MEET THEDIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE DISTRICT IN WHICH THEPROPERTY IS LOCATED?

The proposal will either meet or exceed all dimensional requirements of the ZoningOrdinance.

SUMMARY

This is a request by Creekside Asset Management to revise the approved Planned ResidentialDevelopment for the East Village development located on the south side of Saginaw Street, betweenPennsylvania Avenue and Marshall Street. The applicant proposes to reduce the number of multiplefamily buildings/units and increase the number of single family detached residential units, resultingin a total reduction of the number of units in the development from 177 to 125.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that PRD-1-2010 be approved to revise the approved Planned ResidentialDevelopment (PRD-1-03) plan for the East Village condominium development to reduce the numberof residential units from 177 to 125, as depicted on the plan dated 7-15-2010, based on the findingsof fact as outlined in this staff report, with the following conditions:

WHEREAS, the existing 457 Plan must first be amended to permit Employer plancontributions before this CAB provision can be effectuated; and

WHEREAS, the City, as Employer, desires to modify the 457 Plan by amending Section4.02 and adding a new subsection 4.02g to conform to IRS Code requirements and to permitEmployer contributions to be made under the 457 Plan; and

WHEREAS, the federal government enacted the Pension Protection Act of 2006("PPA") that provided for certain amendments to the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") andrequires Employer sponsored 457 Plans must be amended to comply with PPA changes; and

WHEREAS, the IRC requires the City's 457 Plan be amended specifically to make thefollowing changes:

All required distribution notices (for example, Notice of the employee's right tomake a direct rollover to an IRA) had been subject to a 90-day maximum noticeperiod. This maximum notice period is now 180 days.Distributions made to both spouse beneficiaries and non-spouse beneficiariesare eligible distributions that may be rolled into an IRA. Distributions made to aspouse beneficiary may also be rolled into another eligible retirement plane.Certain Employer contributions (such as discretionary matching contribution)made to the Plan for a year during which the participant is in "qualified militaryservice" are required to be made for the benefit of the participant's survivingspouse.

WHEREAS, the City Attorney has presented the proposed 457 Plan amendments;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City, as Employer, hereby amends theCity of Lansing 457 Deferred Compensation Plan as follows, with the effective dates as setforth:

1.

Effective for limitation years beginning on and after January 1, 2008, the

first paragraph of Section 2.03a. is replaced with the following:Normal Limitations: The maximum amount that may be deferredunder this Plan for Participant's taxable year (except as provided in

Subsections 2.03b. and 2.03c) is the amount prescribed underCode Sections 415 and 457(e)(15) and the related Treasuryregulations that are incorporated herein by reference.

2. Section 2.05 is replaced with the following:

Separation From Service: The severance of the Participant'semployment with the Employer whereby the Participant thereafter isnot providing services to the Employer; provided, however, in theevent a Participant terminates employment with the Employer andthen resumes employment with the Employer within six (6) monthsof said termination date, there shall be a rebuttable presumptionthat the prior termination was not a Separation from Service andtherefore, not an event that, in itself, allows the Participant tocommence (or continue to receive) benefit payments under thePlan.

3. The second sentence of Section 4.02a. is replaced with the following:

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the City of Lansing Deferred CompensationCommittee is hereby authorized to pass resolutions, sign documents and take such otheraction necessary and appropriate to effectuate and administer subsection 4.02g in conformitywith the Employer's UAW $250 match contribution pursuant to the March 8, 2010 CAB andany other duly established Employer contributions made pursuant to the new subsection 4.02gof the 457 Plan.

TO:

MAYOR VIRG BERNERO

FROM:

JOHN M. ROBERT JR., SPECIAL ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY

DATE:

August 12, 2010

SUBJECT: DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN CONTRIBUTION AMENDMENT

As part of this years UAW contract extension, ratified in March, the City (as Employer) agreed to matchthe contribution of a Deferred Compensation Plan UAW participant whose annual contribution is $250.

Before this UAW provision can be implemented, the City's 457 Deferred Compensation Plan (457 Plan)must be amended to provide for plan inclusion of Employer contributions. The 457 Plan Amendmentmust to be adopted by the City Council by resolution and then the Employer contribution can beimplemented by the appropriate Deferred Compensation Commission (the Board) action. At its July 8,2010 meeting, the Board reviewed the proposed Employer contribution amendment to the 457 Plan, ascontained in a new subsection 40.2q, and concurs in the amendment.

Additionally, on account of a change in the federal law called the Pension Protection Act of 2006, thereare certain 457 Plan amendments that have been mandated for inclusion in such plans by the IRS. TheIRS requires that the PPA amendments be made at the time of the plan's next amendment. Because of theEmployer contribution amendment, the PPA amendments are also included in the resolution for approval.The PPA amendments are mandated so the plan remains qualified under the IRC.

Finally, based on the experience of the City with the 2010 Retirement Incentive Program, there is a needfor clarity in the meaning of "Separation from service" under the 457 Plan. Consistent with IRSinterpretations in this area, the 457 Plan amendments also include a rebuttable presumption that anemployee who retires, but then comes back to work for the City within 6 months, did not intend theseparation from service as required by IRS to receive distribution under the plan.

It is requested that you forward this matter to the City Council for appropriate action and to implement theUAW contract. If there are any questions, please contact me.

1- The proposed honorary street name of Cesar E. Chavez Ave, commencing at Oakland and East GrandRiver Ave and ending at Pine Street and West Grand River Avenue. The Lansing for Cesar E. ChavezCommittee and the Old Town Commercial Association is requesting the name of an American herowhose struggle for justice and equality for all Americans is well recognized and documented. He, likeMahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa and others, understood the meaning of nonviolent social change and used it to elevate the human condition. Cesar E. Chavez was a social activistwho founded the first successful Farm Workers union in American history whose mission was to reclaimdignity, fair wages, medical coverage, benefits and humane living conditions for millions of Americans.Cesar E. Chavez inspired millions of Americans and was a recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. PeacePrize and also awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom America's highest civilian honor. Hisphilosophy, "Si se Puede" or "Yes we can," influenced millions of Americans to seek economic and socialequality since the 1960's and that philosophy is still alive and well today. Cesar E. Chavez, a UnitedStates veteran served in the Navy and served in World War II. His life was dedicated to advancing thecause and improving the life of all farm workers and of all oppressed people in the United States and theworld.

2 -The effect of the proposed honorary name upon residents is very positive. We have found zeronegative impact and believe the honorary signs for Chavez will give an opportunity to raise awarenessabout who he was and what he did. Other potential positive effects include the increase of commerce,and in turn increased property values, in the area. The signage will illustrate that Lansing, Michigan is acity that believes in diversity and understands the importance of tolerance and inclusion of honoringAmericans who have made a difference for all.

3 -The effect of the proposed honorary name upon business is very positive. We have found zeronegative impact and believe the honorary signs for Chavez will give an opportunity to raise awarenessabout who he was and what he did, while limiting the proposed cost of a complete street name change.The proposed additional signage will addresses three main concerns from Old Town businesses andproperty owners. 1) It maintains the historic integrity of Grand River Ave. as a heritage trail and mainartery through the state of Michigan used first by the Native Americans. 2) The additional signage doesnot demand extra cost or confusion for businesses that are currently within the proposed area or thecustomers that patronize them. And lastly, 3) the decision to move forward on a combination ofprojects to honor Cesar E. Chavez and educate the community has been an inclusive one. The processincluded many meetings, letters, signatures, and heightened awareness and respect for what bothLansing for Cesar E. Chavez and the Old Town community want to achieve for the greater Lansing area.

4 - Implementation cost will be minimal to both the City and business owners. Maximum cost for signtoppers for the 28 signs along the proposed section of Grand River Avenue is $100 each.
