Since then, based on recommendations from the Planning Commission, Council has approved the extension of the final site plan for Mill Creek Terrance four times; December 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2014. On January 3, 2017 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the above referenced request. Following the presentation of staff’s review, the applicant, Natalie Ceccolini addressed the Planning Commission. She stated in October 2016 Guenther Building Co. entered into a purchase agreement with the property owner, Joe Schulz of Schulz Development and Consulting LLC. That did not leave enough time to prepare new plans before site plan approval expired.

The Planning Commission then voted unanimously to recommend site plan approval extension for Mill Creek Terrace, located at 8140 Forest Street (150 Jeffords), until December 1, 2017, subject to the following conditions:

1. The applicant provides sufficient rationale for the requested extension;

2. Special Land Use approval;

3. The project shall meet OHM recommendations in its November 20, 2014 review letter, and further subject to the following:

a. The conditions cited in its November1, 2007 correspondence, plus:

i. References and proposed work shown for the DDA improvements that have since been completed can be eliminated from the plan;

ii. Infrastructure elements not completed as part of the Jeffords / Forest DDA project such as the sanitary sewer, water supply and fire suppression shall be shown with pavement removal limits denoted;

iii. Construction schedule information should be updated (sheet G9.12 and G9B.12); and

iv. Plan notes referring to MDOT standard /special details shall be updated to reference current details.

4. DAFD has also recommended approval of the extension request in its November 23, 2014 review letter, subject to the comments of its September 24, 2007 review letter, which included the following:

a. The incorporation of fire hydrant location and fire department connections, as set forth in the City’s Engineering Standards, and

b. Requirements of the Fire Protection Ordinance, including Knox box, addressing, minimum roadway widths, fire land signage, portable fire extinguishers, fire suppression, fire alarm systems and kitchen fire suppression system.

DDA: 2017-01-19

City Council Courtney Nicholls December 3, 2014 Page 2

On Monday, January 23, 2017 City Council will consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation to approve a one year extension of the Mill Creek Terrace final site plan.

Attached for your review and consideration is the proposed Fifth Amendment to the Development Agreement between the Dexter DDA and Mill Creek Terrace, LLC. The 5th amendment if based on the fourth amendment, which was reviewed and recommended by DDA Attorney, Scott Munzel. You will also find the original Development Agreement, along with the first, second, third and fourth amendments.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND

The Mill Creek Terrace combined site plan, dated 10-24-07, was originally approved by the Village Council on November 26, 2007, subject to the following conditions:

1. Concerns noted in the planner’s review dated October 31, 2007.

2. Concerns noted in the engineer’s review dated November 1, 2007.

3. Concerns noted in the DAFD review dated September 24, 2007.

4. Execution of the development agreement by the applicant, the Village and the DDA.

5. Review and approval of the public improvements to be built and designed by the DDA.

6. Sale of the required Village property to the developer.

Condition 4 (execution of Development Agreement) has been satisfied and the DDA has amended the terms of its development agreement with Mr. Schulz, in conjunction with the extensions of site plan approval. In addition, Condition 6 (sale of property) has also been satisfied.

Subsequent to the last extension request, the applicant, Guenther Building Co. entered into a purchase agreement with the property owner, Joe Schulz of Schulz Development and Consulting LLC. The applicant has requested a one-year extension. If approved by City Council, this would be the fifth site plan extension of the Final Site Plan.

No changes to the previously submitted plan are proposed. The DDA completed streetscape improvements to the Main Street parking lot, and Jeffords and Forest Streets. In addition, the existing structure at the corner of Forest and Jeffords Streets was demolished.

STAFF REPORT To: Downtown Development Authority

Courtney Nicholls, City Manager

From: Michelle Aniol, Community Development Manager RE: Analysis of Public Act 506 of 2016 (i.e. Law Excluding Public Library Millages from Tax

Capture)

Date: January 17, 2017

PA 506 establishes two conditions under which a library board or commission can act to exempt pre-2017 library millage revenues from tax capture:

• THE DDA AUTHORITY ALTERS OR AMENDS THE BOUNDARIES OF A DOWNTOWN DISTRICT; OR• EXTENDS THE DURATION OF THE EXISTING FINANCE PLAN.

On January 5, 2017, Governor Snyder signed a package of Senate bills (Senate Bills 620-624), passed by the House in the final days of the 2015-16 session, which exclude property taxes levied for public libraries from tax capture by a local authority, such as the Downtown Development Authority, unless the library board or commission expressly allows it. The legislation also specifies that the rule would apply retroactively to millages under certain circumstances.

The bill specifically amending the Downtown Development Authority Act, SB 620, is now Public Act (PA) 506 of 2016, and was effective immediately upon the Governor’s signature. The new act does the following:

• Excludes from "tax increment revenues" ad valorem property taxes and specific local taxesattributable to those property taxes levied for a separate millage for public library purposesapproved by the electors after December 31, 2016, except 1) if the authority alters or amends theboundaries of the downtown district; or 2) the authority extends the duration of the existingfinance plan.

Those two exceptions allow the library to opt out of the entire district, not just the added area, asis currently allowed, and can do so regardless of whether the authority has outstanding debtobligations. A library board or commission would have 60 days to adopt a resolution opting-out,after a public hearing on the proposal to amend or extend the TIFA plan.

• Specifies that a millage that was levied by a library board or commission for public librarypurposes before January 1, 2017, would be exempt from the capture of tax increment revenue if“all obligations and other protected obligations of the authority are paid,…”

• Allows a library board or commission to exempt all or a portion of its taxes from capture, if it levieda millage for public library purposes before January 1, 2017, and

• The Act also specifies that a library board or commission could allow all or a portion of its taxes tobe captured, with respect to a millage for public library purposes approved by the voters afterDecember 31, 2016, under the terms of a written agreement with the TIFA and filed with the localclerk.

The DDA is asked to identify two members, who along with the Mayor, City Administration and staff will negotiate with a sub-committee of the Library Board, on an agreement regarding the expansion of the DDA’s boundaries to include 8180 Main Street.

DDA: 2017-01-19


STAFF REPORT To: DDA Courtney Nicholls, City Manager From: Michelle Aniol, Community Development Manager Date: January 23, 2017

City Council Updates

City Council will consider the following applications/plans at its January 23, 2017 meeting, based on affirmative recommendations from the Planning Commission:

• Special Land Use Approval Extension for an expansion of the Tasting Room at Northern United Brewing Company (NUBC);

• Site Plan Approval Extension for Mill Creek Terrace;

• Major Amendment to the Approved Area Plan for Grandview Commons PUD; and

• Final Site Plan Approval for Grandview Commons PUD.

Annual EDC Meeting

During the annual EDC meeting resident and businessman, Dan O’Haver addressed the Board, as a guest speaker, and talked about the needs of business for data. According to Mr. O’Haver most businesses, including his have maxed out Comcast coax cable. Fiber internet connection is faster than coax, is very reliable. He stated that businesses coming into Dexter want fiber backbone. Fiber is expensive.

Scott Merz, EDC member, and President/CEO of MC3 stated that in his business, reliable electricity is his #1 priority, and high speed fiber is #2. MC3 had contracted with Comcast Business to have high speed fiber brought to its building. You’ll recall Comcast installed fiber in the Dexter Business and Research Park in 2015. Nearly all of the existing businesses in the Park took advantage of the opportunity to connect to the new fiber network.

The question was voiced during the meeting; should the city be planning fiber infrastructure? The idea was floated the City survey the residents of the community. Other members voiced his support of the survey. Industrial development with large factories is not the future of economic development for the city, like it was in the 1980s and 1990’s. After all, the internet revolution is the industrial revolution of our time1 (article attached).

Mr. O’Haver said there are experts in our community that could help us (with the fiber infrastructure issue).

Members wanted City Council to be informed, and then stated they want to bring the EDC back together in the first quarter

• Post EDC Meeting Update and Request

Staff and Jim Carson met with Jared Mauch to discuss high speed fiber needs in the City. EDC member, Chris Timmis mentioned that he knew of a parent who was very knowledgeable on this subject and offered to make a virtual introduction. Being a man-of his word, Member Timmis made the introduction, and staff scheduled the meeting. One of the suggestions Mr. Mauch made was to place underground conduit wherever and whenever the city does underground work. This infrastructure can then be leveraged later to expand high speed fiber infrastructure development. Mr. Carson may have additional comments to offer.

Currently, the City’s Economic Development Strategy does not address this issue. An update to the Strategy is identified in the CIP and has an estimated budget of $5,000. Staff has asked for City Council’s 1 Forbes, 2013

DDA: 2017-01-19

CDM Report to City Council January 23, 2017 Page 2

blessing to send out a Request for Proposal for Professional Economic Development Services to Update the Economic Development Strategy, and use the cost information provided to budget the project in FY 2017-18. The update to the Strategy could and should include, as one of its elements, a plan for addressing the high speed fiber infrastructure needs of the City, now and into the fore seeable future.

MASTER PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE UPDATES

As you know, we are in the process of updating the zoning ordinance. The process is taking much longer than anyone, including staff, expected. As a result we are now contemplating the required update to the Master Plan. Staff would like to put the Zoning Ordinance update on hold, in order to concentrate on the Master Plan update. The rationale for this request is it’s quite likely that changes to the Master Plan will require changes to the Zoning Ordinance. It would not be prudent, or fiscally responsible to update the entire Zoning Ordinance now, only to discover additional amendments will be necessary after the Master Plan is complete.

If Council is amendable to this suggestion, staff has also asked for Council’s blessing to request a proposal for Professional Planning Services to Update the Master Plan, from our planning consultant, CWA and use the cost information in the proposal to budget the project in FY 2017-18.

MEDC

As you will recall, MEDC has rolled out its new funding platform. To qualify for MEDC and MSHDA community development funding programs, municipalities with traditional downtowns will need to be engaged in the Redevelopment Ready Process by October 1, 2017. Traditional downtown communities, such as Dexter, would not be required to be certified by that date. They would need to be in the program, and actively working toward certification. There is not a deadline for becoming certified. According to MEDC, it could take a couple of months or 10 years.

Communities that do not have a traditional downtown (i.e. townships and bedroom communities, like Dearborn Heights, Southgate, Sterling Heights, Livonia, etc.) would have to be certified to be eligible for funding; however, they will not have to be certified by October 1, 2017.

MEDC also addressed the issue of removing City Council from the site plan review process for permitted uses. They have changed their position. The City of Midland demonstrated that their City Council did not hamper the development review process, but rather resulted in a more efficient process. Staff spoke with the Midland City Manager and Assistant City Manager, and they confirmed this. They also stated that MEDC is funding site plan review training for their city council.

In the past, the city has utilized community development grants from MEDC and MSHDA, for various planning and economic development projects. With Washtenaw County no longer funding its Act 88 Economic Development Mini Grant program, funding assistance through MEDC/MSHDA is the last remaining funding source for small communities, like Dexter.

Staff has requested that City Council schedule a discussion of the Redevelopment Ready Program for an upcoming agenda, in light of this new information.

TREE BOARD

The Tree Board met for the first time this year, on Tuesday, January 17th. The Board unanimously voted Jeff Peters as Chair, Sandy Hansen as Vice Chair, and Michelle Aniol as Secretary. The Board also reviewed the 2016 street tree planting worksheet (attached). Of the 48 trees planted in Spring 2016, 9 were Resident Cost Sharing street trees, 36 were ROW replacement trees that were planted in the Westridge, Huron Farms and Dexter Crossing subdivisions, and 12 were ROW replacement trees in the Old Village.

MISCELLANEOUS UPDATES

2870 Baker Road - The property owner at 2870 Baker Road (Dr. Loranger) has submitted an application and site plan for preliminary zoning compliance, for a change of use. The previous use of the property was a printing establishment. Dr. Loranger has applied to covert the building for medical office use. Dr. Loranger current operates Loranger Chiropractic Center at 2844 Baker Road, which is adjacent to the south of 2870 Baker Road. In addition to the change of use, the applicant is proposing interior and exterior changes, improvements to the parking lot, stormwater management, lighting and landscaping, and signage. The application and site plan are eligible for administrative review and approval. Staff and the City Engineer are currently reviewing the plans and working with the applicant to achieve compliance with all applicable codes and ordinances.

Dexter District Library – The Library submitted a plan to install an outdoor paver patio behind the library. Patrons to the library would only be able to access the patio from the stairway on Alpine Street, as the lower level entry door is for emergency access only. The applicant is currently working to obtain a soil erosion and sedimentation control (SESC) permit. Once staff receives a copy of the SESC permit, the zoning compliance review can be competed. A copy of the proposed terrace accompanies this report.

Rainbow Child Care Center – 814 Development submitted preliminary site plans on behalf of Rainbow Rascals MI – Dexter LLC, for the development of a 10,782 sq. ft. child care facility, at the corner of Dexter-Ann Arbor Road and Eaton Court. The proposed facility would have an anticipated capacity of 130 students, 38 parking spaces, 25 foot wide, landscaped buffer, with a 6-foot tall vinyl privacy fence along the rear of the property, and a 4-foot tall vinyl coated chain link fence along both side yards to enclose the playground area. Proposed hours of operation are 6:00 am – 6:30 pm. A color rendering of the proposed building elevations accompanies this report.

Staff has met with representatives of the Eaton Court HOA and conveyed their concerns, which include screening, noise, traffic and drainage to the applicant. The applicant has been receptive to all concerns. Due to the potential for increased traffic during peak hours, staff requested a traffic study.

Commonwealth Heritage Group

Commonwealth Heritage Group, a full-service cultural resource management (CRM) consulting firm that specializes in large and small scale CRM and historic preservation projects, is the newest business to make Dexter its home. The company has leased office space at 3225 Central Street, the formerly location of Mona Lisa Spa. Staff and Ann Arbor Spark will be scheduling a business call soon to meet company President, Andy Weir.

3. Shrubs that would have been required in the buffer shall be added to the required rearlandscape buffer, to screen the site from adjacent residential uses.

4. Applicant shall agree to shared access with the property to the north, if its redeveloped.

The determination was made upon the following finding per Section 24.05 of the City of Dexter Zoning Ordinance (list criteria):

2. 15-foot variance from the 15-foot required setback from the property line, along Dan HoeyRoad, to allow an 0-foot setback from the property line; and

The applicant has cited practical difficulties associated with the property.

ENFORCEMENT UPDATES

7555 Ann Arbor Street – The hearing regarding the public nuisance case against the property owner of 7555 Ann Arbor Street took place on January 9, 2017. At the hearing, the property owner agreed to abate the nuisance (i.e. remove the two unlicensed and inoperable vehicles) from his property within 60 days, and if the nuisance has not been abated within the 60 days (by March 9, 2017), the City shall remove them on the 61st day (March 10, 2017). The property owner has 7 days to submit written objection, otherwise the Order to Abate the Nuisance will be signed by the judge. In this case, no additional notification will be provided, as the property owner has agreed to the terms of the order.

3536 Dover Street – You will recall that In the Petition for Enforcement of City Ordinance regarding the public nuisance case against the property owner of 3536 Dover, the judge ruled in the city’s favor after the property owner failed to appear in court. This action by the court will allow the city to enter the property to abate the nuisance presently existing, and the costs associated can be recouped by the city via a lien on the property. DPS staff is obtaining an estimate from a licensed and bonded contractor to remove the junk and rubbish from the property.

While the Court Order allows the City or its designated contractor to immediately abate the nuisance, staff is sending the property owner a letter letting him know the date the Order will be executed, as well as the costs he will be incurring. This gives the property owner one final opportunity to abate the nuisance. Unlike the case above, the property owner of 3536 Dover did not show up for his hearing, which resulted in the judgement against him.

In both cases, the Sheriff’s office will provide assistance.

The Internet Revolution is the NewIndustrial Revolution

In the mid90s, ARPANet wastransformed from a militarysafety net to the civilian Internetthat has become such an integralpart of our lives, bringing with itchange not only technological,but societal and epic in scope.

Consider the following:

Forty years ago, the average person followed an employmentpath largely determined by birth and education, oftencommitting to one employer until retirement. Today youprobably wouldn’t even consider that as a viable option. Successis no longer solely determined by the right education, theperfect resume, or even your age and background. Teens asyoung as 12 are now coding websites, producing films andbuilding networks through social media. By the time they’readults, this online generation will already have some skills andrealworld experience that a formal education just can’t provide.

The Internet is bringing a revolution along with it. Access toinformation combined with global supply and demand isreshaping established conventions and destroying old worlddefinitions.

To understand where I am going with this, take the word ‘local.’It once referred to your own street, town or even the state youlived in, but now everywhere is local. Americans areoutsourcing their services to companies from China to Brazil, allfrom the comfort of their own homes. Where once our reach waslimited by physical boundaries, today almost everyone andeverything is just a digital handshake away.

Long established workplace conventions – from defined officehours to physical office space – are being tossed out thewindow. Success was once defined by a suit and the ‘9 to 5’; nowit can achieved by working in pajamas and starting at noon aftera morning at the gym and leisurely latte. The very definition of‘success’ is now drastically changing. It once meant a “keepingup with the Joneses” lifestyle your neighbors would be enviousof; now it’s about making personal, intimate choices about howto live your life. Of course some still associate it purely withwealth, but for many, success is being measured in other ways –happiness, freedom, health, more time for travel and family.

Interconnected societies are the global engine that transformspeople from employees to micro entrepreneurs. Anyone nowhas the opportunity to monetize their skills, from the fulltimeworker looking for additional income to the once hobbyistbuilding their very own business. True change affects bothyoung and old, and while 15year old hedge fund managers maycapture the imagination, we’ve got 80year old entrepreneursgrabbing headlines too. It’s truly an uncontested market wheretalent, skills and experience become commodities outside thenarrow boundaries of traditional employment (if such a thing as“traditional” even exists anymore).

As we engage in a century where everyone is not only a globalcitizen, but a valuable “Brand in Waiting,” we begin tounderstand that the Internet Revolution IS in fact the IndustrialRevolution of our time. It’s a sweeping social disruption thatbrings with it not only new inventions and scientific advances,but perhaps most importantly revolutionizes both the methodsof work and we the workers ourselves.

It’s the return of personal choice and personal definitions ofvalue, as we increasingly define ourselves by the work weproduce rather than being defined only by the work available.
