FROM: Michael Grenier, Environmental Services Manager

Environmental Services Department

SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the Environmental Services Department to

enter into a Pole Attachment Agreement with Consumers Energy

This agenda item would authorize the City to enter into an agreement with Consumers Energy regarding the use of banners on poles owned by Consumers Energy. Energy, Lighting, and Communications has a Banner Permitting program that allows businesses or business associations to apply for a permit to install promotional banners on street lighting poles owned by the City. There are also requests made to install banners on poles not owned by the City. The City has an existing joint-use agreement with Consumers Energy that allows each of us to use the others poles for utilities, but the agreement doesn’t cover banners. Without an agreement to attach “non-cable communications equipment” to poles owned by Consumers Energy, we must deny any banner permit applications that we receive for those poles. ELC is requesting authorization to enter into a Pole Attachment Agreement that will outline the terms of using Consumers Energy utility poles for non-utility purposes in a form approved by both parties and the City Attorney.

YOUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE recommends adoption of the following resolution authorizing entering into a Pole Attachment Agreement with Consumers Energy.

WHEREAS:

1. Energy, Lighting, and Communications manages the Banner Permit program for the City; and

2. Energy, Lighting, and Communications is currently unable to authorize the use of poles owned by Consumers Energy for banners.

RESOLVED:

1. That the City Commission authorizes an agreement with Consumers Energy

allowing for the installation of promotional banners on poles owned by Consumers Energy; and

2. That upon approval as to form by the City Attorney, the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute said agreement on behalf of the City; and

3. That all resolutions and parts of resolutions in conflict herewith shall be, and the same are, rescinded.

FROM: Kristin Turkelson, Planning Director

Design, Development, and Community Engagement

SUBJECT: Resolution setting the date to consider rezoning a portion of 2950

Fuller NE to the MCN-C (Mid-20th Century Neighborhood-

Commercial) Zone District

The attached resolution would establish July 13, 2021, as the date for the City Commission to consider rezoning 6,750 square feet of 2950 Fuller Avenue NE from the NOS (Neighborhood Office Service) Zone District to the MCN-C (Mid-20th Century Neighborhood—Commercial) Zone District to facilitate redevelopment of the adjacent property. Overview Due to the existing lot line configuration, the area to be rezoned does not offer a practical use for the existing property owner. It could easily be combined with 3110 Plainfield Avenue, the adjacent lot to the north which is improved with a BP fueling station. The applicant, Lakewood Ventures LLC, owns and operates the BP fueling station on 3110 Plainfield Avenue. If the subject property is rezoned, the applicant intends to combine it with the existing gas station property to facilitate redevelopment of the site with a new, larger fueling station. Master Plan The Future Land Use Map associated with the 2002 Master Plan designates the properties for commercial use, although the Future Land Use Map illustrates general development patterns and is not intended to define land use on a lot-by-lot basis. No Area Specific Plan has been undertaken for this area.

Packet Pg. 12

Zone District Purpose and Intent Below is a comparison of the purpose and intent of the current NOS Zone District and the current MCN-C Zone District: Current Zone District Neighborhood Office Service Zone District

The NOS Zone District is to allow for small-scale office and service uses that serve the immediate neighborhood and which, by their nature, have minimal effects upon surrounding land uses and public infrastructure. Accordingly, this District may appear in any of the neighborhoods provided for in this Chapter.

This District may be used on major streets to accommodate uses that allow a smoother transition from a more intense commercial area to residential uses. In this regard, they may also be used to buffer the effects of heavier traveled streets from residential areas.

Development style is residential in character and complements the features of nearby structures.

Areas in this Zone District may be relatively compact and used to assist in creating additional land use compatibility through the use of smaller scale buildings.

The NOS District is specifically not intended to be applied as a precursor for commercial development or used to systematically eliminate residential properties.

Proposed Zone District MCN-C, Mid-20th Century Neighborhood—Commercial Zone District

The MCN-C Zone District is intended to accommodate vehicles at an appropriate level, while still emphasizing the importance of pedestrians and public transportation in the built environment.

Placemaking Elements. o Small and medium-scale businesses, service and commercial uses that serve

the immediate neighborhood and surrounding area are desired. o Mixed-use commercial areas that include a residential component are

encouraged, including the redevelopment of older commercial sites for moderate to high-density residential uses.

o Moderate lot sizes and setbacks, building orientation to the street, and transparency along pedestrian pathways are important characteristics of this Zone District.

o New development on primary and secondary street frontages should be compatible in use and scale with surrounding, existing uses and structures.

Rezoning Considerations Uses permitted by right in the NOS Zone District include office, certain personal services uses and residential. Uses permitted by right in the MCN-C Zone District include business, service, and commercial uses. If rezoned to MCN-C, any new development would have to comply with the site layout and building element requirements of the MCN-C Zone District. When combined with the existing gas station on the adjacent property at 3110 Plainfield Avenue NE, the property will meet the minimum requirements of the Zone District.

Packet Pg. 13

Planning Commission Recommendation On May 27, 2021, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the rezoning request. No verbal testimony was received in support or opposition to the request during the public hearing. The Planning Commission voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend approval of the rezoning to the City Commission, finding the rezoning request to be logical based on the neighborhood context, pattern of development, and adjacent zone districts. Approval Process The proposed rezoning is considered a Zoning Map Amendment by Section 5.12.10.2. of the Zoning Ordinance, and as such requires review and recommendation under Zone Change procedures by the Planning Commission, and final approval by the City Commission. Following the required public hearing, the Planning Commission makes a recommendation to the City Commission, including a summary of the comments from the public and findings on the review standards used in considering the request. Upon receipt of the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the City Commission may approve, approve with modifications, or deny the proposed Zoning Ordinance map amendment by a majority vote of its members, stating the reasons for its decision for the minutes. Please forward the attached resolution for consideration at the next scheduled City Commission meeting.

YOUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE recommends adoption of the following resolution setting the date to consider rezoning a portion of 2940 Fuller Avenue NE to the MCN-C (Mid-20th Century Neighborhood--Commercial) Zone District.

City Planning Commission Meeting Full Page 15 May 27, 2021

RESULT: APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Paul Greenwald, Board Member SECONDER: Laurel Joseph, Board Member YEAS: Brame, Van Strien, Joseph, Greenwald, Behler, Shannon, Williams ABSENT: Paul Rozeboom, Adrienne Wallace

D. 2950 Fuller Ave. NE - Zone Change Address: 2950 Fuller Ave. NE Applicant: Merle Boes, Inc.

(Grant Geurink) Requesting: Approval to rezone the subject properties from the NOS

(Neighborhood Office Service) Zone District to the MCN-C (Mid-20th Century Neighborhood- Commercial) Zone District to facilitate reconstruction of the existing gas station.

Zoning: NOS (Neighborhood Office Service) Zone District Requirements: Article 6 Mixed-Use Commercial Zone Districts 5.12.10. Zoning Ordinance Text and Map Amendments Case Number: PC-ZON-2021-0036 Staff Assigned: Erik Powers [email protected] Type of Case: Zone Change Effective Date: City Commission approval Mr. Powers introduced the request to rezone a portion of 2950 Fuller Ave NE from NOS (Neighborhood Office Service) to MCN-C (Mid-Century Neighborhood-Commercial) to facilitate future development of the property. If rezoned, the applicant proposes to split the rezoned portion from 2950 Fuller and combine it with the adjacent 3110 Plainfield Ave NE to facilitate development of a vehicle service station and convenience store. The Future Land Use map designates the subject section of property for commercial use. The property is not included in an Area Specific Plan. Mr. Powers identified surrounding zoning and land uses. To the north is MCN-C, the existing gas station on the Plainfield property. To the east is MCN-MDR, which is vacant land, and I-96. To the south is MCN-LDR with residential uses. To the west is also MCN-LDR with residential uses, as well as NOS with a medical office use. The site to be rezoned is approximately 6,750 sq. ft. and is located in the northernmost portion of the property. A slide depicting the area of the site to be rezoned was displayed. The site proposed for rezoning is an undeveloped portion of 2950 Fuller and has no street frontage. 2950 Fuller is of mixed zoning consisting of roughly 23% NOS, 22% MCN-LDR, and 50% MCN-MDR. The property has some development along Fuller Ave. with the remaining portion undeveloped. The existing buildings along Fuller contain office and residential uses. Mr. Powers related that uses permitted by right in the NOS Zone District include residential, commercial and office uses. If rezoned to MCN-C, any new development would have to comply with the site layout and building element requirements of the zone district. If the rezoning and subsequent lot division and combination are approved, the applicant intends to demolish the

existing structure at 3110 Plainfield and the new development/new service station would be constructed to meet the standards of the MCN-C Zone District. The applicant engaged with surrounding property owners who expressed no concerns with the rezoning or proposed subsequent project. Mr. Powers identified key considerations: neighborhood and business district concerns, if any; is the proposed MCN-C Zone District consistent with the purpose and intent of the Master Plan, including the Future Land Use Map; will the proposed MCN-C Zone District further the themes and objectives of the Master Plan; Can the property accommodate the requirements of the proposed MCN-C Zone District; is the proposed MCN-C Zone District compatible with other nearby Zone Districts in the neighborhood; and is the proposed MCN-C Zone District consistent with the trend of development in the neighborhood. Mr. Greenwald understands that the Commission is currently only considering the rezoning request. However, he recalled from his site visit that there is a rather steep slope at the rear of the service station/Plainfield site going down toward the parking lot of the office building on Fuller. If rezoned, he asked if the proposed project would be subject to the steep slope Ordinance requirements. Mr. Powers replied that his understanding is that the addition of this portion of the property is to meet the setback requirements in the MCN-C Zone District. It is also his understanding that there wouldn’t be a lot of work being done in that area. Grant Geurink was present on behalf of the request. He agreed that the current request is just for rezoning to determine if they can purchase the land and clean up the jog in the MCN and NOS zoning. What it would allow them to do is beautify the neighborhood and provide a better entrance to Grand Rapids as people exit the freeway. The existing convenience store is an older style and purchasing this additional property would allow them to move it back further. With respect to the steep slope, in discussion with the surveyor he didn’t anticipate the need for a retaining wall. However, that will be determined in the planning of the new convenience store. Mr. Van Strien opened the public hearing and invited public comment. There was no public comment and the public hearing was closed. Ms. Joseph feels the request is logical based on the neighborhood context, pattern of development, and adjacent zone districts. Ms. Joseph MOVED, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the request of Merle Boes, Inc. (Grant Geurink) to rezone a portion of 2950 Fuller Ave. NE from NOS (Neighborhood Office Service) to MCN-C (Mid-Century Neighborhood-Commercial) to facilitate development of the property for uses not permitted in the NOS Zone District, for the following reasons: 1. The proposed Zone District will be consistent with the purpose and intent of the Master

Plan and Zoning Ordinance, including the Future Land Use map, because the current and/or most recent use of the property is Commercial and considered nonconforming;

the property contains a mix of zone districts, and the subject section of property is undeveloped; and Commercial Districts are established to reflect the goals and objectives of the Master Plan for a broad range of business, service, and commercial uses and rezoning this property to MCN-C would allow these uses by right or with Special Land Use, depending on the use.

2. The property to be rezoned can reasonably accommodate the requirements of the proposed Zone District, because the subject property is improved in a manner consistent with the requirements of the MCN-C zone district as it contains a commercial use and the property will meet the minimum requirements of the proposed zone district

3. The proposed Zone District designation is compatible with the existing Zone Districts in the neighborhood because the current use and uses adjacent to the subject property are more consistent with uses permitted in the proposed zone district than with the NOS designation.

4. The physical, geological, hydrological and other environmental features of the property to be rezoned are compatible with the full range of uses in the proposed Zone District because there are no apparent environmental features on the properties that would inhibit the full range of uses on the property if rezoned.

5. The proposed Zone District or Neighborhood Classification will not be detrimental to the financial stability and economic welfare of the City because the proposed zone change may encourage fuller utilization of the properties in question, as well as surrounding properties.

6. The proposed Zone District is consistent with the trend of development in the neighborhood because adjacent properties are in the MCN-C Zone District.

FROM: Jeremiah Gracia, Economic Development Director

Economic Development Department

SUBJECT: Resolution conditionally authorizing acquisition of 2020 tax

foreclosed properties from the Kent County Treasurer for an

amount not to exceed $150,000 and subsequent transfer to the

Michigan State Land Bank Authority

The attached resolution would authorize the City, under certain conditions, to acquire up to four (4) tax foreclosed properties from the Kent County Treasurer, and to subsequently convey any acquired property to the Michigan State Land Bank Authority (SLBA) pursuant to a Land Banking Agreement between the City and the SLBA. Each year, the City, as a local unit of government, is provided the opportunity to acquire from the Kent County Treasurer, the foreclosing governmental entity, any properties that are foreclosed upon for unpaid taxes that are located in the City. Prior to 2021, the City could acquire tax foreclosed property for the “minimum bid”, which includes all past due taxes, fines and fees. The City has historically exercised that right and acquired tax foreclosed properties in Grand Rapids to promote development of affordable housing supply. A 2020 Michigan Supreme Court Case and subsequent legislative changes have resulted in changes to the process for tax foreclosures for 2021, and have resulted in a modified staff recommendation for 2021 which is described below. Specifically, the changes for 2021 relate to potential acquisition costs and the timing of acquisition. The cost the City must pay for an individual property depends on whether a “notice of claim” has been filed for that particular property. If a notice of claim is filed, the City would be required to pay the fair market value for that property, assumed to be two times the State Equalized Value (SEV). If no notice of claim is filed, the City would only be required to pay the minimum bid. Additionally, the Kent County Treasurer has indicated they expect the City to complete its acquisition of any properties by July 6, 2021.

Packet Pg. 23

For 2021, there are four (4) properties in Grand Rapids that are tax foreclosed, unoccupied and are either improved or have the size, access and topography to be improved (i.e. “buildable”). The list of properties has been provided to non-profit housing developers which have been given the opportunity to request the City acquire any of the properties on their behalf, and to specifically indicate whether they would be willing to pay only the minimum bid, or if they would be willing to pay fair market value if required. Staff has received a commitment for the acquisition at fair market value for one of the four tax foreclosed properties. The attached resolution authorizes the acquisition of that property, and conditionally authorizes acquisition of the three other properties if they can be acquired for the minimum bid. Subsequent to the City’s acquisition of the property, the properties would be conveyed to the State Land Bank Authority (SLBA) and managed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Land Banking Agreement between the City and the SLBA including ensuring marketable title to the properties for future sale. The range of potential costs associated with this acquisition are as follows, all of which are less than the $150,000 that is budgeted in the Property Management Fund for FY2022. As in previous years, the City would pay any additional outstanding property related charges and would be responsible for the 2021 property taxes.

Low (1 property) High (4 properties)

Acquisition from Kent County: $44,284 $89,820

Miscellaneous Receivables: $0 $26,657

Summer Property Taxes $375 $6,004

Total Acquisition Costs: $45,009 $123,681

The attached resolution authorizes the acquisition of up to four tax foreclosed properties, payment of all outstanding property related charges and 2021 real property taxes, and the subsequent transfer of the acquired property to the State Land Bank Authority. JG/jk

Engineering Department

SUBJECT: Resolution awarding a contract with Diversco, Dykema, Lodestar,

Nagel and Wyoming for Utility Improvements at Various Locations

- Contract 2021 with total expenditures not to exceed $950,000

This project consists of work associated with utility improvements at various locations for sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main, drain/creek and other miscellaneous work. From time to time, various departments find it necessary to implement improvements or repairs to infrastructure which are beyond the expertise or the availability of existing maintenance staff and/or are not covered under existing term contracts. Similar contracts have been in place for the last several years and work well by having a select group of contractors that can respond quickly to City Department needs. Bids were received on June 1, 2021, for this project. The contractors who submitted bid proposals were evaluated based on their submittals for unit prices for items of work that are anticipated to be used in this contract; labor rates; equipment rates; percentage of mark ups to subcontractors, material, and equipment; information regarding subcontractors including Micro Local Business Enterprise firm (MLBE) utilization; and past performance. Five contractors submitted bid proposals for this project. After consideration of the above-mentioned factors, it is recommended that contracts be awarded to the following contractors; Diversco Construction Company, Inc. (Diversco), Dykema Excavators, Inc. (Dykema), Lodestar Construction Company, Inc. (Lodestar), Nagel Construction, Inc. (Nagel) and Wyoming Excavators, Inc. (Wyoming). Selection of all five contractors will allow flexibility for types of projects that require different types of contract expertise and will allow for competitive pricing. The contracts will be for a period of one (1) year, reserving the right to extend each contract for an additional period of time at the City’s option, contingent upon successful negotiations with the contractors. The attached resolution provides for the award of the construction contracts for the project to Diversco, Dykema, Lodestar, Nagel, and Wyoming. The resolution also

6

authorizes expenditures not to exceed $950,000.00 which includes the costs for construction and engineering/inspection/administration and will be charged to the appropriate project budgets for which these services are required. The scope of services provided under these contracts will be on an as-needed basis. In the event the contracts exceed the aforesaid amount, it will be necessary to bring this matter back to City Commission for consideration and approval of additional expenditures at a future date. cc: Patti Caudill Tricia Chapman

SUBJECT: Resolution awarding a contract with Kamminga & Roodvoets, Inc.

for the Reconstruction of Market Avenue from Wealthy Street to

Williams Street and Construction of Sanitary Sewer from 300'

West of Market Avenue to Market Avenue at 650' North of Wealthy

Street - Relocation of Eastside Trunk Sewer (Contract No. 2) in the

amount of $7,352,402.20 with a total project cost not to exceed

$9,678,000.00

On November 10, 2020 (Commission Proceeding No. 90348), the City approved and authorized the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding related to the relocation of a portion of the Eastside Trunk Sewer from parcels on the west side of Market Avenue to Market Avenue right-of-way to allow for the redevelopment to occur on the parcels. It was planned that the relocated trunk sewer construction would include Wealthy Street from the Grand River to Market Avenue, Market Avenue from Wealthy Street to Fulton Street and Fulton Street from the Grand River to Market Avenue. Contract No. 1 consists of the reconstruction of Market Avenue from Williams Street to Fulton Street and Fulton Street from the Grand River to Market Avenue. The portion of the project in Wealthy Street from the Grand River to Market Avenue and in Market Avenue from Wealthy Street to Williams Street was bid as a second contract on April 13, 2021. Bids were received on April 13, 2021, for the second contract. The engineer’s estimate, prepared by Progressive AE, Inc. (Progressive), is $10,606,301. and Kamminga & Roodvoets, Inc. (K & R) submitted a bid of $15,618,683.80 (low discounted bid is $15,518,683.80). K & R will not be utilizing Micro Local Business Enterprise participation and will be subcontracting a total amount of $1,232,102. Reference the attached Equal Business Opportunity – Construction Worksheet regarding the applicable bid discounts for this project.

Packet Pg. 34

Given that the low bid was significantly over the engineer’s estimate and would result in a much higher budget for the overall project, the Engineer, City and Partners to the Memorandum of Understanding reviewed several different options. Based on that review, it is recommended that the scope of the project be adjusted. The recommended adjustment in scope for Contract No. 2 is to construct the sanitary trunk sewer from the existing East Side Trunk Sewer approximately 300’ West of Market Avenue to Market Avenue at 650’ North of Wealthy Street (north of the City owned Fleet Building at 301 Market Avenue SW) and in Market Avenue from 650’ North of Wealthy Street to Williams Street, and to reconstruct Market Avenue from Wealthy Street to Williams Street. This revised alignment accomplishes the objective of creating developable parcels within the 31-acre Market Avenue Corridor development area. The portion of sanitary trunk sewer in Wealthy Street and in Market Avenue from Wealthy Street to 650’ North of Wealthy Street would not be constructed at this time, but provisions will be made for a future extension if necessary. The route of the relocated trunk sewer construction will now include from 300’ West of Market Avenue to Market Avenue at 650’ North of Wealthy Street to Fulton Street and Fulton Street from the Grand River to Market Avenue. The Engineer and City have met with the read low bidder K&R and have developed a revised scope of work and pricing for the reduced project. It is recommended that a post-bid addendum be approved with K&R for a reduced project scope of $7,352,402.20. The attached resolution provides for the award of the construction contract for this project to K & R in the amount of $7,352,402.20 with total expenditures not to exceed $9,678,000.00. This amount includes the costs of the construction contract, previously authorized/additional design phase services by Progressive, construction phase services including inspection by Progressive, public information program, traffic safety and street lighting force account work, right-of-way/pipe quality assurance, administration, and an approximate eight percent allowance for contingencies.

This project is being financed by the Grand Rapids-Kent County Convention/Arena Authority, Amway Hotel Corporation, 63 Market Avenue Holdings LLC, Sewer System Fund, Water System Fund, Capital Improvement Fund, and Vital Streets Fund. The shares of each partner are indicated in the Summary of Estimated Costs provided further below. A budget request in the Water System and Capital Improvement Funds is necessary to finance a portion of this project and will be presented to the Fiscal Committee for consideration and approval at a future date.

SUBJECT: Resolution approving a Consolidation and Contamination Risk

Reduction Grant Agreement in the amount of $5 million with the

Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy

Cascade Charter Township’s (Township) Burger and Goodwood neighborhoods became an official Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) Area of Interest in March 2019 due to their proximity to known potential PFAS sources and local geologic features between the Gerald R. Ford International Airport and the Thornapple River. PFAS chemical levels greater than one or more of the PFAS Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) have been detected in samples from 40 individual residential wells and one or more of the PFAS compounds were detected in more than 60% of the results. Cascade Charter Township is a retail partner with the City of Grand Rapids in our regional water system. The City Water System, in partnership with the Township, have identified a long-term solution to address PFAS contamination in residential wells by converting 473 properties with residential wells onto the City domestic water main. Extension of the watermain which only partially serves the neighborhood at this time has been identified by the Township as the most effective long-term solution. The proposed project will be accomplished in phases and is currently estimated to cost $13,230,525. Michigan Public Act 57 of 2019 provides grants up to $5,000,000 to drinking water systems for contaminant remediation efforts or connection to an alternate system. A grant application for a Consolidation and Contamination Risk Reduction (C2R2) grant was submitted to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) in January 2021. EGLE approved the grant application in the amount of $5,000,000 for the first phase of the project which proposes the construction of 12,025 feet of water main and the connection of 256 residential wells to the City domestic water main and is estimated to cost $6 million. A future item will be presented to City Commission for a construction agreement and cost sharing agreement with the Township to facilitate the project construction and to provide Water System financing for

costs of the project exceeding the grant amount. As a retail partner of the water system, non-grant costs of the project will be zonegated to the township through the annual rate study.
