>>> "Lynne Martinez" <lynne.m anacd.net > 7/23/2010 2:35 PM >>>Dear President Robinson and Members,

Lansing City Council

I write to express my strong support for an action on the July 26, 2010 CityCouncil agenda to amend the City's Zoning Ordinance to create OverlayDistricts. I write as a City resident and member of the Lansing CommunityEconomic Development (CED) Network to support the amendments and to set apublic hearing for August 23, 2010.

The Department of Planning and Neighborhood Development has proposed OverlayDistricts as an economic tool for City Transportation Corridor areas wherenew development patterns may be helpful in attracting business andresidential investment by allowing mixed use and / or higher densitydevelopments. Further, Overlay Districts will offer the possibility ofrequiring esthetic compatibility for new developments in historically orculturally sensitive areas.

Please let me know if you have questions and vote to approve the action onMonday's Council Agenda. Thank you for your consideration.

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:

The Participation Agreement will become effective no earlier thanthe first day of the calendar month following the date on which theAgreement is executed or any subsequent date that isadministratively feasible as determined by the Employer.

7. Effective in the case of a death occurring on or after January 1, 2007,

Article VIII is amended by the addition of the following Section 8.03:

If a Participant dies while performing qualified service (as defined inCode Section 414(u)), the survivors of the Participant are entitled toany additional benefits (other than benefits relating to the period ofqualified military service) provided under the Plan as if theParticipant had resumed employment and then terminatedemployment on account of his death.

RE: Z-7-2010, 127 W. Grand River AvenueRezoning from "C" Residential District to "G-1" Business District

Dear Mayor Bernero:

The Lansing Planning Board, at its regular meeting held on August 17, 2010, voted (5-0) torecommend approval of the request by Dale Schrader on behalf of S.A. Properties, LLC to rezone127 W. Grand River Avenue from "C" Residential district to "G-1" Business district. The purposeof the rezoning is to permit the building at this location to be restored to its original historic characterand reused for commercial purposes.

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 rezoning would allow for adaptive reuse of a historically significantbuilding which is consistent with the goals of the master plan.

At the Planning Board public hearing held on August 4, 2010, the applicant and two other peoplespoke in favor of the request. Three people spoke in opposition to the request. The minutes from thepublic hearing are attached.

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

Z-7-2010, 127 W. Grand River Avenue, Rezoning from "C" ResidentialDistrict to "G-1" Business District

This is a request by S.A. Properties LLC to rezone the property at 127 W.Grand River Avenue from "C" Residential district to "G-1" Business district. Thepurpose of the rezoning is to permit the building at this location to be used forcommercial purposes. Ms. Stachowiak stated that staff is recommendingapproval of the request as it will allow for adaptive reuse and rehabilitation of abuilding that has significant historical and architectural value. She also said thatthe request is consistent with the goals of the master plan as described in thestaff report.

Dale Schrader, 1107 N. Seymour Street, stated that he owns the subjectproperty and the apartment building to its east. He said that he intends torestore the building to its original state which includes period lighting and a tileroof. Mr. Schrader said that the alternative is to allow the building to continue tosit vacant and sustain further deterioration or to tear it down altogether. He saidthat he lives in the area and wants to improve this property.

Mr. Ruge asked if any screening and buffering would be required since this siteis surrounded by residential uses. He also asked about the parking situationfor both this property and the apartment building to the east.

Ms. Stachowiak said that the rezoning would trigger the landscape, screeningand buffering requirements.

Mr. Schrader said that the residents of the apartment building use the parkingon the subject property and will likely continue to do so since there is notsufficient parking on the apartment building property. He also said that thepavement area is pretty broken up and will need to be smoothed out andrepaired.

Mark Hahn, 1102 N. Capitol Avenue, stated that he spoke with 21 people inthe area and 18 of them are not interested in any commercial development atthis site. He said that the neighbors do not want it rezoned. He also read aletter from one of the neighbors.

Julie Lott, 1107 N. Capitol Avenue, read a letter stating that she is opposed tothe rezoning as this area has been assaulted by businesses and as a result, theneighborhood is eroding. She said that she spoke to the owner and he cannoteven tell her what the building will be used for.

Mr. Williams exited the meeting and turned the gavel over to Mr. Ruge.

Richard Lott, 1107 N. Capitol Avenue, stated that the subject property hasalready been an eyesore in this area. He said that people are looking forhomes in this area. Mr. Loft stated that the building should be moved from thislocation if it has historical value.

Christopher Aszatt, 4117 Glenburne Blvd., spoke in support of the request.He stated Mr. Schrader should be commended for wanted to improve theproperty at 127 W. Grand River.

Brittney Hoszkiw, 317 E. Grand River, stated that she is the director of theOld Town Main Street Program, although the Board of Directors for thisorganization has not met to take a formal stand on this matter. She stated thatshe is supportive of the project is consistent with the mission and future plansfor the Old Town area. She also said that Mr. Schrader is following the StateHistoric Preservation Office guidelines to rehab the building and actuallybecome an improvement to the area.

Tonya Dunkel, 1021 Johnson Street, stated that she lives about 1/2 mile fromthe site and the area does not need another gasoline station. She said that thebuilding should be made into something that would enhance the area ratherthan detract from it.

Mr. Rieske stated that a gasoline station would not be permitted at this locationeven if it were to be rezoned.

Ms. Lott submitted some letters to the Board from area residents who areopposed to the rezoning.

Seeing no one else wishing to address the Board, Mr. Ruge closed the publichearing.

Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

Ms. Stachowiak reviewed the proposed ordinance amendments using thememo from the City Attorney's Office as a guide. She said that the ordinanceamends the City's existing Zoning Code to address medical marihuana primarycaregiver as a home occupation. Section 1248.03(e) of the Lansing CodifiedOrdinances currently regulates home occupations in the A, A-1, and BResidential Districts. Section 1250.03(b) provides that any conditional usepermitted in an A, A-1, or B Residential District by Section 1248.03 is permittedin a C Residential District. Thus, the proposed amendments to Section1248.03(e) directly regulate home occupations in the A, A-1, and B ResidentialDistricts and correspondingly regulate home occupations in C ResidentialDistricts.

Subsection (1) of Section 1248.03(e) provides that only a resident of thedwelling unit may engage in a home occupation in that dwelling unit. It isamended to provide also that no more than one medical marihuana primarycaregiver may be engaged in a home occupation on any lot.

Subsection (5) currently provides for regulation of signage. It is amended toprohibit any signs for home occupations.

Marchelle Smith, Special Projects Director,Lansing Economic Development Corporation

DATE:

August 3, 2010SUBJECT: Old Town's Historic Service Station

On behalf of the Lansing Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) and its FacadeDesign Committee, I am writing this letter of support on behalf Old Town's historicservice station at the intersection of N. Capitol and W. Grand River for rezoning theproperty from residential to commercial use.

Building owner, Dale Schrader has reached out to the Lansing EconomicDevelopment Corporation's Facade Design Committee to utilize grant funds aimed toassist in restoration of Lansing's historic building facades. Proposed restorationimprovements to this building would result in the return of the facade to its originalappearance through the use of replica materials and the faithful application ofmissing and deteriorated components.

Built in 1923, the Old Town Service Station, once known as Sinclair Oil, has playedan important roll in our city's history. With the innovation of the automobile,several of these early style service stations were dotted along the main thoroughfareof Grand River stretching from Grand Rapids to Lansing to Detroit. Very few ofthese structures are in existence today.

The preservation and adaptive restoration of historic buildings within ourcommunity is vital for the economic growth of our city and region as it not onlyrestores our history but strengthens our business districts and neighborhoods.Without the investment and vision of owners, developers, architects and those whorestore and transform significant structures, our community would not thrive.

The Old Town District's character and charm is built around historic preservation.Without the rezoning of this property, the building will remain unused thuscontinuing to deteriorate and ultimately result in demolition.

It is for these reasons that the Lansing Economic Development Corporation urgesyou to consider favorably for rezoning this property.

Best Regards!

Mr. Riske,

After discussion with both Dale Schrader on the future of the historic gas station at 127 W.Grand River Ave and residents concern over the proposed change of use, I am confident inresubmitting my support of the project.

In my conversations with Dale he has shown his interest in maintaining the historic integrityof this wonderful old building by working cooperatively with the City of Lansing, theMichigan Preservation Network and the Old Town Commercial Association. He hasidentified historically accurate materials and hopes to one day house a contextuallyappropriate business such as a coffee shop or ice cream shop for the neighborhood to enjoy.

With that said, the neighborhood continues to lose historic homes to blight, foreclosure,absentee owners and commercial tenants, eating away at the very fabric of their community.I believe that by being aware of surrounding residents and their needs through greeningrequirements, screening and limited parking, we will all be able to celebrate this wonderfuladdition to our community.

I would like to also offer my organization as a conduit for further discussions with both Daleand Old Town residents to maintain inclusivity and awareness through each step of theproject. By working together we will be able to continue to achieve wonderful things in ourneighborhood.

Thank you for your careful consideration and your continued support.

Best,

MEMORANDUM

TO:

City of Lansing Planning Board.

FROM:

Bryan Lijewski, Architect, State Historic Preservation Office

SUBJECT: Historic Old Town Sinclair Service Station

As a member of the Lansing Economic Development Corporation's (LEDC) Facade DesignCommittee and as an architect with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), I support therezoning of the property at North Capitol and West Grand River from residential to commercialuse.

This small building was constructed as a gas service station. Based on physical evidence at thebuilding, it was built as a Sinclair Oil service station. During the design and development of thistype of small service station in the 1920's, the companies that built them strived to use highquality materials and designs that would fit into the residential areas where many of them werebuilt. This building is a good illustration of those design concepts. While the current state ofthis service station clearly displays issues of deferred maintenance, it retains a high degree ofhistoric integrity and is an excellent candidate for a historic rehabilitation project. Because itwas constructed for a commercial use, and because it was used for that purpose for severaldecades, I believe there is a strong argument to be made for rezoning it to a commercial use toallow it to be rehabilitated for a small retail business.I have been involved in meetings with the current owner of this property, Dale Schrader, on twooccasions. Mr. Schrader is clearly interested in the history of the building, its historic integrityand materials, and in rehabilitating the building in a historically appropriate way. His proposalto replace the existing roof with clay tile to match the original, sensitively remove the existingpaint from the brick, and carefully plan the interior updating of the building demonstrates hisdesire to maintain the historic integrity of the property while updating it for modem use.In addition to the LEDC' s facade grant funds, the SHPO administers historic preservationprograms that can assist Mr. Schrader in completing a rehabilitation project. SHPO staff canassist in making a determination of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places, as wellas assist with efforts to use federal and state tax credits on the building rehabilitation.

As a continuation of Old Town's successful commercial and residential redevelopment, thisproject can have a visual and economic impact in this neighborhood. We support the rezoning ofthis property as an important step in both preserving a significant historic resource in Lansingand encouraging its appropriate rehabilitation for current use.

Re: Re-zoning of 127 W. Grand River Ave. from "C" Residential District to "G-1"Business District

I am opposed to the re-zoning of this property, changing it from residential to business.This property is in a neighborhood of homes that is and has been assaulted by businessesdestroying the residential character of the area. The line that separates residential frombusiness is Washington Ave., one street east of the property, and should be kept. I havelived in our house since January of 1977 and have watched our neighborhood slowlybeing eroded away by "business interest" over homeowners.

In the 1960's the Lutheran Church, in the 10 hundred block of Capitol bought and toredown a number of houses to build a parking lot.

In. the 1980's the Church once again destroyed parts of our neighborhood to further theirbusiness of a private school. This was opposed by many of the residents who wereignored by the city.

Also, in the 1980's the Consumers Power Credit Union bought and tore down a numberof houses to cross Willow Street to build a new larger credit union, which they said wasneeded. About 2/3rds of this building is leased to other businesses. Once again, this wasopposed by many of the residents who were ignored by the city. (A housing Co-op wascreated and was able to move 3 houses to other sites, but the neighborhood suffered a netloss of housing stock.)

Other problems with business over residential include, the Tria at the corner ofWashington-and Maple. They have paved their whole back and side yard for anotherparking lot. They still park on the sidewalk and rent out spaces.

Our track record with business has not been stellar. After a talk with the owner of the127 W. Grand River he could not say what he was going to do with the property. The oldgas station is an eye sore and has been for years. It should be moved to a moreappropriate place for a business and leave our neighborhood to homes.

Lansing Planning Board

Rezoning of 127 W. Grand River Ave. from residential to business.

I am opposed to changing the zoning to business. We are a residentialneighborhood. We are not interested in converting another residence into a businesswhere the owners leave at 5:00 pm. We want to increase home ownership. While Iunderstand the motives of an entrepreneur wanting to increase the value of his property,so he can later sell and move on, but how does that benefit the long time homeowners inour block? After he takes his money and moves on we get a succession of businesses inhis building and have to deal with their lack of parking and the constant flow of traffic.

I will, however suggest a plan; offer the building to the Meridian TownshipHistorical Park. The building would fit right in with the rest of their buildings. Thebuilding is small enough to load on to a truck and move without lowering overhead wireswhich keeps the cost way down.

In the 62 years I have lived in our neighborhood nothing has ever been done tothat building. There is not enough room around it, no parking and it goes against thecity's Master Plan. Why in this day. and age of the Gulf and Kalamazoo River oil spillswould we choose to glorify a gas station? Tear it down or move it, but don't re-zone it.

Thank you.

My neighborhood does not need increased commercial traffic,

This particular parcel, "Z-7 2010," is a corner property which will

ANALYSIS

COMPATIBILITY WITH SURROUNDING LAND USE

The area comprises a mix of zoning districts and land uses. The subject property is surrounded onthree sides by "C" Residential zoning. There is "F" commercial zoning located immediately to the

north of the subject property. The general area includes a church, low and high density residentialbuildings, commercial and offices uses.

The property at 127 W. Grand River Avenue is very unique in that it contains a gas station buildingthat was constructed in 1923. The building has architectural and historical significance and it is theintent of the applicant to preserve these values. However, because the property is zoned "C"Residential, the only allowable use for the site under the current zoning designation is single familyresidential. Therefore, rezoning the property to some type of nonresidential zoning is necessary inorder to make use of the property and retain the building that currently exists. While the "F"Commercial district would make sense from the standpoint that it already exists to the north, theexisting building cannot comply with the setback requirements of this district. Furthermore, the siteis too small to accommodate the parking requirements that would be necessary under the "F"Commercial district. The "G-1" Business district, by contrast, would eliminate the setback andparking requirements, thereby making the site more viable for some type of light commercial use.

There are no setback, parking or height restrictions for the "G-1" Business zoning district. The areasof the city that are zoned "G-1" are those that contain commercial buildings on small parcels of landwhere it is impractical to impose setback and on-site parking requirements. The characteristics ofthe subject property are consistent with development in the "G-1" district elsewhere in the city. It isvery small, the existing building is located at or within a couple of feet of the front property linesalong W. Grand River and N. Capitol Avenue. There is room for a few parking spaces south of thebuilding, however, because of the lot dimensions, vehicles would have to back directly on to N.Capitol Avenue which is not advisable since this street carries a relatively high volume of traffic.

With regard to permitted uses, those allowed under the "G-1" Business district are less intensive thanthose permitted under the "F" Commercial district. For comparison purposes, a list of uses permittedin both districts is attached to this report. The most objectionable use that would be permitted in the"F" Commercial district is a used car lot. This use would not be permitted under the "G-1" Businessdistrict.

COMPLIANCE WITHMASTERPLAN

The Central Lansing Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property for low density residentialuse. While the proposed zoning would be contrary to this designation, the alternative is to allow theexisting building to continue to deteriorate until such time as it is torn down, after which the only usethat could be rebuilt on the property is a single family home. Preserving historic resources is a goalof the master plan. Therefore, although the proposed zoning does not comply with the specificdesignation contained in the master plan, it would allow the historic building at 127 W. Grand RiverAvenue to be rehabilitated and reused which is consistent with the goals of the plan.

IMPACT ON VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC

Given the small size of the building and the types of uses that could potentially locate on the siteunder the "G-1 " Business district, no excessive demands on the traffic systems in the area areanticipated. The applicant will utilize the existing driveways and parking areas. Depending on the

Page 56: Lansing (MI) City Council info packet for Aug. 23 meeting

Z-7-2010

127 W. Gand River Avenue

Page 4

use that eventually occupies the building, it is likely that 1-2 parking spaces will be required. Thereis one parking space just south of the building and a small parking pad south of it. The parking padis shared by the residents of the apartment building to the east which is also owned by the applicant.From a practical standpoint, the employee will likely use the parking space directly adjacent to thebuilding and the patrons will utilize the parking spaces under the canopy.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The proposal is not anticipated to have any negatives impacts on the natural environment. Theapplicant only intends to rehab the building as it currently exists and resurface the existing parkinglot. With the exception of additional landscaping to screen the parking are for the street and thesurrounding residents uses, no other changes to site are proposed.

IMPACT ON FUTURE PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT

The subject property is very unique because of its location, the small size of the lot and the historicbuilding that it contains. These characteristics are not common among other properties in this areaor in the City of Lansing in general. Therefore, approval of this request should not set anyprecedents for approving other requests for "G-1" Business district in this or any other area of thecity. Additionally, the purpose of the rezoning is to allow use and rehabilitation of the existingbuilding on the property which will preserve and enhance the character of the area rather than detractfrom it.

SUMMARY

This is a request by S.A. Properties LLC to rezone the properties at 127 W. Grand River Avenue,more specifically described as:

W 42.5 FT OF N 6 R LOTS 11 & 12 BLOCK 34, ORIGINAL PLAT

from "C" Residential district to "G-1" Business district. The purpose of the rezoning is to permit thebuilding at this location to be used for commercial purposes.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Z-7-10 be approved to rezone the property at 127 W. Grand River Avenuefrom "C" Residential district to "G-1" Business district, based on the findings of fact as outlined inthis staff report.

Possible commercial purposes for this property are endless as there are interesting peoplewith ideas. I was approached, unsolicited, by a woman who saw me working there andshe wants to move her dog-grooming business to Old Town from Potterville. Shethought this location would be perfect and I am keeping in touch with her. I just thinkthat once the property is restored, people will find businesses to go inside. I will charge areasonable rent and inaintsiti the peaceful coexistence with the renters in the house.

Thank you for your kind consideration of this request. I look forward to meeting withyou further to discuss this project and showing you the property in person next month.Sincerely,

Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

Ms. Stachowiak reviewed the proposed ordinance amendments using thememo from the City Attorney's Office as a guide. She said that the ordinanceamends the City's existing Zoning Code to address medical marihuana primarycaregiver as a home occupation. Section 1248.03(e) of the Lansing CodifiedOrdinances currently regulates home occupations in the A, A-1, and BResidential Districts. Section 1250.03(b) provides that any conditional usepermitted in an A, A-1, or B Residential District by Section 1248.03 is permittedin a C Residential District. Thus, the proposed amendments to Section1248.03(e) directly regulate home occupations in the A, A-1, and B ResidentialDistricts and correspondingly regulate home occupations in C ResidentialDistricts.

Subsection (1) of Section 1248.03(e) provides that only a resident of thedwelling unit may engage in a home occupation in that dwelling unit. It isamended to provide also that no more than one medical marihuana primarycaregiver may be engaged in a home occupation on any lot.

Subsection (5) currently provides for regulation of signage. It is amended toprohibit any signs for home occupations.

Subsection (7) currently requires approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals forthe use of any equipment uncharacteristic of a dwelling. It is amended tofurther require approval by the Board of Zoning Appeals for excess energy useand heat generation resulting from marihuana growth, which approval shall begiven only after approval by the Fire Marshal and the Building Safety Office.

Subsection (8) prohibits a variety of activities and conditions from adverselyimpacting the surrounding neighborhood. Unnatural light has been added asone of the conditions prohibited from adversely impacting the surroundingneighborhood.

Subsection (9) has been added to prohibit medical marihuana primarycaregivers from engaging in a home occupation within 1000 feet of a school;playground; place of religious worship; or a substance abuse prevention,treatment, or rehabilitation facility. It also prohibits medical marihuana primarycaregivers from engaging in a home occupation within 100 feet of a youthcenter, public swimming pool, or a video arcade facility.

Subsection (10) has been added to require that marihuana plants be kept in anenclosed, locked facility, duplicate a requirement in the state law.

Subsection (11) explicitly applies the amended provisions prospectively to allmedical marihuana primary caregivers, regardless of when they beganengaging in a home occupation.

Ms. Stachowiak stated that the problem is that possessing marijuana for anyreason is still a violation of federal law. She said that the concern for medicalmarijuana facilities is that they become a target for breaking and entering,burglary and vandalism. She said that the Prosecutor's concern is that theordinances in Ingham County are similar so that it will be more streamlined froman enforcement standpoint.

Mr. Ruge' said that the requirement regarding the energy and heat may beoverkill since there will not be that many plants. He also said that the 1,000 footseparation requirement is probably more political than anything else.

Ms. Henry stated that the prohibition on the sale of goods as a homeoccupation may be a conflict with allowing the distribution of marijuana from ahome.

Mark Criss, City Rescue Mission, 607 E. Michigan Avenue, stated that amedical marijuana operation just opened up right next to the Rescue Mission onE. Michigan Avenue. He said that a lot of the people that they provide servicesto have addictions and they are trying to help them deal with this problem. Hesaid that there is a potential for dealing drugs with the excess marijuana that itnot provided to the patients that have a legitimate reason for using it.

Elizabeth Smith, 6238 Balfour Drive, Highlands Cooperative, asked if theordinance would allow the home occupation in Highlands. She said that thereis a fine line between a caregiver and a dealer and when you have a denseresidential development, the potential for dealing becomes a great concern.

Ms. Stachowiak stated that Highlands is not zoned "A" "B" or "C" and therefore,it would not be permitted.

Christopher Aszatt, 4117 Glenburne Blvd, stating that this whole process is awaste of the taxpayers time and money because there is already a law on thebooks regarding medical marijuana. Mr. Aszatt said that the city will not shut offthe street lights even though they produce glare but yet they are concernsabout lights for medical marijuana growing.

He said that in Amsterdam,marijuana is used to help people get off of hard drugs. He also said thatmarijuana helps reduce the size of cancer cells and helps diminish the paincaused by migraines and kidney stones. Mr. Aszatt said that as a result ofmarijuana, he is now able to be a productive member of society.

Robin Schneider, 2010 E. Michigan Avenue, Capitol City CompassionClub, stated that she does not have a lot of issues with the proposed ordinancebecause the state already allows the marijuana as long as it is kept in a lockedarea. She said that it is a non-addictive substance. She said that it is usuallygrown in basements and should therefore, not be a bother to neighbors.

Issac Francisco, 1009 E. Grand River, said that he is concerned that theordinance is contrary to the will of the voters in Michigan. He said that it will

Page 69: Lansing (MI) City Council info packet for Aug. 23 meeting

Planning Board Minutes

August 4, 2010

Page 9 of 13

place an undue burden on caregivers and patients alike. He asked the Board toreconsider the 1,000 foot distance requirements.

Richard Clement, P.O. Box 26123, Michigan Normal, said that medicalmarijuana facilities should be treated just like any other home occupation. Hesaid that the Rescue Mission is right near Rum Runners. He also said that the1,000 or 100 foot distance requirements should be eliminated or reduced.

Victor Hansons, Holt, MI, JustGoodRadio.com, said that he is a caregiverand a patient. He said that he has 4 patients. Mr. Hansons said that theamount of heat necessary to grow marijuana is 70-78 degrees and the amountof energy it uses is only slightly more than normal usage. He said that part ofthe problem is maintaining the confidentiality of the patients with inspectorscoming in and out.

Michael ?, Holt, MI said that as a caregiver he would take exception to the1,000 foot rule. He said that this insinuates that you are a criminal. He statedthat these types of uses do not generate a lot of traffic.

Mary Lindeman, 3501 Augusta, Canabis Patients United, said that thepurpose of her organization is to protect the rights of patients and caregivers.They operate under the law as intended by the voters of Michigan. Ms.Lindeman said that they are in the process of writing uniform standards formedical marijuana, including a code of ethics, which is currently being reviewedby lawyers. She said that this is a medical issue and they want to change theimage that most people have about the use of medical marijuana. She alsosaid that medical marijuana is good for the economy.

Tonya Dunkel, 1021 Johnson Street, said that she has an issue with the1,000 foot rule. Ms. Dunkel said that caregivers need to be safe and have theirrights protected just like everyone else. She also said that pharmacies havecontrolled substances and they are not required to be 1,000 feet away from achurch, school or playground. Ms. Dunkel said that this is a double standard.

Richard Carl, 2019 E. Michigan Avenue, Green Cross, said that medicalmarijuana facilities create jobs. He also said that approximately 1/3 of theresidents in Michigan qualify for medical marijuana use and most cannot affordthe equipment needed to grow it for themselves which is why the dispensariesand compassionate care clubs are needed. Mr. Carl said that this is anopportunity for job creation in Michigan.

Seeing no one else wishing to address the Board, Mr. Ruge closed the publichearing.

EXPLANATION: The Maguire Park Improvements project (new FY10), creating a southern trailhead with parking lot andshelter at the end of the Lansing River Trail System (Aurelius and Jolly), was bid in mid-summer 2010. The Maguire familypaid privately for the design and engineering phase of the project. The appropriated project (based on $60,000 estimate)generated four bids ranging from $84,665.56 to $237,000.00. The soils on the building site likely include unacceptabledebris of various origins, increasing bid estimate and requiring more construction financing for the project ($24,666).Environmental review cost, bid publication cost, and some contractor contingency for unknown site conditions are additionalproject costs (roughly estimated at another $8,357) beyond the low bid amount.

TO: Lansing City Council, Public Safety Committee, and Andrew K.Kilpatrick

FROM: Westside Neighborhood Association (WNA)Date: July 23, 2010

RE: Westside Neighborhood Area Parking Time Limit Removals

The Transportation and Parking Office plans to remove time limitparking restrictions in the area bounded by Saginaw Street on the north,Jenison Ave. on the east, Michigan Ave. on the south and StanleyStreet/GM property on the west.

The WNA has received complaints from several neighbors concerningthis modification. The Committee on Public Safety reported that letterswere sent to all residents in the affected area; however, the WNA hasbeen made aware of several residents who stated they had not received aletter. On behalf of these residents, the WNA is asking for an extensionof the 90 day trial period to determine if a street-by-street agreement canbe made to accommodate neighbors affected by the proposed parkingchanges. The WNA would be grateful if a Transportation and ParkingOffice representative could attend a WNA Board meeting to discuss thismatter.

To: Lansing City Council Community Funding BoardFrom: Wexford Montessori Magnet School PTA

Wexford Montessori Magnet School PTA was fortunate enough to participate in the NewMount Calvary Community Celebration for 2010. It was nice to see about 150-170people come out and celebrate the occasion. The church provided all the food, whereaswe provided the activities for the community. South Lansing Community DevelopmentAssociation was also present with a table set up to showcase their work over the yearswith nutrition programs and gardening. They also provided sweet corn for the grill.

The $500.00 grant that Wexford PTA was able to obtain through a grant from the CityCouncil allowed us to provide all the activities for the event and some school supplies.We had originally did a in initial agreement with 0 C & Moore out of Muskegon for theactivities because they would have provided all the activities, with man power to run allthem for $450.00, but at the request of the council to try to use someone locally we had togo to several different sources for the activities equipment. The sources consisted of Alrental, JCIM, Lansing Parks and Recreation, Kroger's and Wal-Mart, all of which arelocal businesses.

The total for our activities participation was $530.78, not including the cotton candymachine, popcorn machine and snow cones machine, of which we the PTA had toprovide. Please review enclosed receipt for a breakdown of the actual cost for each.

Thanking you for your help in making this a great success, along with the many otherfunctions that you have assisted with for the Lansing Southside community.
