Pioneer Resources wants a dog daycare on Wesley — zoning has to move first

Consent vote would rezone 1145 Wesley from neighborhood residential to form-based Neighborhood Edge so a public dog daycare can go in the rear garage.

Consent item: change the zoning on Pioneer Resources’ campus so a dog daycare can open in the back garage.

Pioneer Resources is the nonprofit that works with seniors and people with disabilities. The Wesley campus already has office and therapy space. They want a public dog daycare in the rear garage — also used as vocational training — plus a small addition.

Today the lot is R, Neighborhood Residential. Office is already a legal leftover use there; dog daycare is not. Form-based Neighborhood Edge would make the existing campus match the map and allow the daycare. Staff

Government

Consent vote would hire Prein & Newhof to engineer state-backed water and sewer projects, including up to 1,400 lead service replacements.

$1.36 million to design lead-line and Glenside water work — Laying pipe

Consent item: hire the engineers so state water money can actually get into the ground.

Two contracts with Prein & Newhof total $1,361,800 — design and construction engineering for lead service line replacements and for Glenside. Water and sewer funds. Staff say it is already in the budget. No amendment.

The state’s current offer: 59 percent of the eligible package forgiven, the rest a 20-year loan at 2 percent. Lead service lines this year: 100 percent forgiven. Staff put the eligible envelope around $20 million; construction numbers can change after design.

Glenside Phase 3 would

City Hall, parks, and the water plant get new AEDs

Government

Consent vote would put Cintas on a three-year contract for 11 defibrillators at $17,820 a year.

City Hall, parks, and the water plant get new AEDs — I HAVE THE POWER...to save lives

Consent item: new defibrillators (AEDs) in the buildings and parks people already use.

Cintas would supply and service 11 units for three years: three at City Hall, one at the Farmers Market, three in parks (McGraft, Smith-Ryerson, Pere Marquette), three at Public Works, one at the water plant. Price on the form is $135 per unit per month — $17,820 a year, $53,460 over three years — plus a $400 credit for each old unit turned in. Cintas is on the state’s cooperative-purchasing list (MiDEAL). Staff say it is already in the budget. No amendment.

City wants a short-term yard next door while DPW is rebuilt

Government

Consent vote would let Public Works use the vacant township lot at 1300 E. Keating for 18 months while 1350 is under construction.

City wants a short-term yard next door while DPW is rebuilt — Storage site

Consent item: borrow the empty township lot next door while Public Works rebuilds its yard.

The city shop at 1350 E. Keating is about to get crowded — trailers, materials, parking. Immediately west is 1300 E. Keating, about 2.5 acres owned by Muskegon Charter Township, with a vacant former animal-control building left out of the deal. Township board already said yes on September 8. The city would be the tenant. Muskegon County is stepping back from older rights on the site so this can happen; the county still has a household-hazardous-waste license on part of the parcel,

Lakeside’s Meurer Court park may get charter protection

Government

Commission can lock a 1.6-acre Lakeside parcel as a charter park so it stays park land unless voters say otherwise.

Lakeside’s Meurer Court park may get charter protection — Satellite view of Meurer Court

Commission is being asked, on the consent agenda, to lock in a small Lakeside park as a charter park.

Meurer Court is already on the city’s park list — about an acre and a half on a quiet street off Morton, not a beach. A charter park (the extra protection the city added to the charter in 1998) is park land that is supposed to stay a park. Selling it later would take a vote of Muskegon residents, the same idea that already covers places like Kruse and Hartshorn.

Tuesday night is a public hearing on a five-story building at 118 W. Clay — apartments over first-floor storefronts — and on the tax plan that would help pay for it.

The developer on the packet is Revilo Two GRR, LLC. Staff describe 40 units: 12 studios, 21 one-bedrooms, seven two-bedrooms. Total investment is about $12.9 million. Construction is aimed at spring 2027 and 15 to 18 months of work.

What Commission is being asked to approve is a brownfield plan amendment (the legal paper that lets new taxes on the site — tax increment financing,
