Dexter Wellness Center We have had no updates on the Wellness Center case from the Tax Tribunal. Annual Report The DDA’s annual report has been prepared and is attached to this report. It must be published and filed with the Department of Treasury no later than February 28th. Fixed Assets The DDA requested at their last meeting a listing of fixed assets owned by the DDA. A report from our fixed assets program is attached to this memo. It is important that the DDA know that in governmental fund accounting, fixed assets are not included as part the accounting system. Fixed assets (and the associated depreciation) are only used in the government-wide financial statements, where the DDA’s information is combined with the City’s information (see page 10 of the audit). The other thing to remember is that until our fiscal year 03/04, when GASB 34 came into effect, fixed assets were not tracked as part of the financial statements. In addition, for communities our size, roads are not required to be accounted for, although I have chosen to do so for costs

To: Downtown Development Authority Courtney Nicholls, City Manager From: Michelle Aniol, Community Development Manager RE: Staff Report – February 15, 2018 Date: February 9, 2018

1. Business News

• The Spice House has closed, but will continue to have an online presence. Commonwealth Heritage Group is taking over the space, as it needs more room. Commonwealth will continue to maintain space at 3225 Central Street (formerly Mona Lisa Salon and Spa).

• A new Arts and Crafts business called Ruby Talula has signed a lease for the space at 8118 Main Street, between the barbershop and Dexter’s Pub.

• A new tenant, Comfort Keepers will be moving into the office building at 7910 Ann Arbor St. Comfort Keepers provides in-home care serves and living assistance to seniors and disabled individuals, to live independently and as comfortably as possible.

2. Economic Development Strategy: A draft report has been submitted and distributed to the Economic Development Preparedness Committee. The consultants are scheduled to present the draft to the Committee on February 14th. Staff provided the consultants and Committee with review comments/concerns, to aid in the review and discussion.

3. 3045 Broad Street Update: The 3045 Broad Street Committee will meet with the Norfolk Team on February 12th to review their analysis of the 1st Community Workshop, back in December. At the meeting, a date for the next Community Workshop will be determined.

4. City Council Updates:

• On January 22, 2018:

Council adopted a Resolution Establishing a Payment-in-Lieu of Parking Space Option (attached), following the adoption of the text amendments to Article 5, Parking and Loading, of the Zoning Ordinance, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The Council set the amount for contribution at $9,000, with the understanding that it could amend the Resolution, if the amount became a barrier to development/redevelopment.

Council accepted the Planning Commission’s recommendation and voted unanimously to approve the special land use Dexter Cross-Fit at 7275 Joy Road.

• On February 12, 2018 Council will consider the adoption of the RRC Joint Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from the MEDC. The document details both the community and MEDC responsibilities as they pertain to the RRC certification process.

5. Planning Commission Updates – The Planning Commission meeting was canceled this month. However, the following item will be on the PC’s March 5th agenda:

• Encore Theatre: The Encore Theatre has submitted its application for special land use approval for temporary employment housing at 3479 Central Street. The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing on Monday, March 5, 2018.

• Northern United Brewing Company: NUBC submitted a revised plan for adding a kitchen to its existing tasting room. The existing tasting room measures 5,820 sq. ft. The plan shows the existing men’s and women’s restrooms, and a portion of the existing bar area would be removed and a new kitchen would be installed. The restrooms would be relocated within the existing lobby area. As such, the square footage of tasting room would be expanded by approximately 800


CDM Report to DDA January 18, 2018 Page 3

sq. ft. According to Section 8.06 of the Zoning Ordinance, a separate special land use permit is required for an expansion of the special land use. The Planning Commission is scheduled to conduct a public hearing on Monday, March 5, 2018.

6. ZBA Updates - The February ZBA meeting was canceled. No cases.

7. Development Updates:

• Grandview Commons: During a meeting with the developer’s representative, staff and administration were informed that the developer would be ready to sign the PUD agreement the week of February 12th. With the execution of the PUD Agreement, the transfer of property can be completed, the Master Deed can be recorded and the pre-construction meeting can be scheduled.

• Rainbow Child Care: The applicant has closed on the property with MAV and the land division application has been approved. The new address is 7220 Dexter Ann Arbor Road. A pre-construction meeting is currently being scheduled.

8. Meeting Review:

• Administration and staff met with a representative from A.R. Brouwer regarding the potential redevelopment of 7890 Ann Arbor St (Washtenaw ISD office), 3268 and 3276 Central Street for mixed use (commercial and residential). The representative indicated that project planning is in the very early stages. Since there has been discussion by Council in the past regarding possible city offices at 7890 Ann Arbor Street, it might be prudent to investigate this opportunity further.

• Staff is scheduled to attend the Washtenaw County Urban County Executive Committee (WCUCEC) meeting on February 7, 2018.

• Staff is scheduled to attend the Michigan Economic Developers Association (MEDA) Capital Day Program on February 21, 2018.

9. Enforcement Update:

• Staff received a complaint regarding old junk cars on a property, on Dover Street. Due to extenuating circumstances, staff has tried to work with the property owner, outside the enforcement process, to get the vehicles removed; unfortunately, without success. With the written complaint, staff must, and has undertaken formal enforcement action.

• Snow removal has been a discussion topic recently. We received an email from a resident regarding the number of property owners (in his neighborhood) who do not clear their sidewalks of snow. The resident recommended the Village of Manchester’s process for getting folks to clear their sidewalks. Staff contact the Village Manager, Jeff Wallace who explained their code requirements, as follows:

“We work with the Sheriff Department Personnel to tag and enforce. DPW does the removal and we charge fifty cents per linear foot for five foot sidewalk and $1.50 per linear foot in the business district that is about 12 foot wide. We directly invoice the affected homeowner or business since it is a charge against the property.”

The Manchester General Code requires snow and ice to be removed from sidewalks in all business districts within 4 business hours of the cessation of any snow, sleet, or freezing rain event, or by the beginning of business hours of the next day following said weather event(s).

For residential sidewalks, snow and ice must be removed within 24 hours of any snow, sleet, or freezing rain event.

Failure to remove snow and ice will result in the Village removing the snow and ice, and applying the cost as a single lot assessment. A copy of the cited Manchester Code accompanies this memo.

The City of Dexter General Code allows an owner of residential property to clear their sidewalk of snow and ice within 48 hours of the cessation of a snow event. The enforcement process is as


CDM Report to DDA January 18, 2018 Page 3

follows:

• Initial notice. No fine with explanation explaining ramifications if sidewalk is not cleared within 48 hours.

• Second notice. $15.00, with explanation of ramifications if sidewalk is not cleared within 24 hours.

• Third notice. The city causes the removal of snow and bills the property owner or resident within 24 hours.

• Contract for snow removal. Actual cost, plus $25.00, to be paid within 30 days.

As you can see, this is a very time consuming and lengthy process. Staff has asked Council for feedback on whether they are interested in pursuing an ordinance amendment that would streamline the enforcement process regarding snow removal.
