3 Past Use of the Property - Site History
In 1893, Joseph W. Knapp, a salesman originally from Hillsdale, Michigan

opened a dry-goods, coat and carpet store in Albion, Michigan in partnership
with Frank W. Jewett, called Jewett & Knapp. By 1897, the store had
relocated to 123 N. Washington Avenue in Lansing, occupying 6,000 sq ft of
space at the site of a former dry-goods store. In 1908, Jewett and Knapp sold
the business to Frank Lackey, who renamed the store "J.W. Knapp Company
The same year, the business moved to 220-226 South Washington. In 1928 the
store was expanded and renovated at a cost of $15,000 to help it compete with
the rival F.W. Arbaugh Company.
In 1937, Knapp's commenced construction of a new building, completed in

1939, at 300 S. Washington, on the site of the Hotel Downey which was
demolished to make room for the new store, and the still earlier Lansing House
hotel and saloon. Designed by Orly Munson of the Bowd-Munson Company,
which also designed several other Art Deco landmarks in Lansing, including
the Ottawa Street Power Station, it was constructed by the Christman
Company in 1937 through 1938. The curvilinear look of the streamlined
structure comes from huge plates of concrete faced with enamel, called "Maul
Macotta", a copyrighted product of the Maul Macotta Company and prismatic
glass brick windows. Alternating horizontal bands of yellow macotta and glass
block are interrupted by vertical blue macotta pylons, rising from the building's
four principal entrances. The pylons are pierced by windows. The entrance
portals, display window aprons, and decorative banding are dark blue macotta.
Red, yellow and blue spandrels, incorporating the letter "K" as a design
element, decorate the entrance portals. When completed in 1939, it was hailed
in the contemporary press as "the most modern building in the Midwest".
Today, it is considered to be one of the finest intact examples of Streamline Art
Moderne commercial buildings in the Midwest, notable for its size, clarity of
design and brilliant colors. The western end of the building was enlarged in
1949.
In the 1950s, the company was sold to the Mott Foundation, which owned a
collection of department stores in mid-Michigan. Knapp's opened a smaller
branch in East Lansing in the early 1960s; this store was later closed, and a
newer Knapp's was built as one of the anchor stores of Meridian Mall in
Okemos when it opened in 1969. Two additional mall-based locations, at
Lansing Mall in Lansing, and at Westwood Mall in Jackson, were acquired in
1973 from Grand Rapids-based Wurzburg's. In 1970 the L.S. Good Co. of
Wheeling, West Virginia bought all of the Mott Foundation divisions; L.S. Good
Co. declared bankruptcy in 1980, and all of the Mott Foundation nameplates
were shuttered. The three mall-based locations were all sold to • JCPenney,
while the downtown Lansing location was shuttered.
6

The Eyde Company purchased the building in, 1982, and converted most of it to
office and retail use renaming it the "Knapp's Center". There were a collection
of various tenants in the building including a restaurant and state offices. The
last tenant moved out in 2003 and the building has been vacant for 7 years.
4. The Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
In August of 1997, the Lansing City Council established the Lansing

Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (LBRA) and designated the entire City as a
"Brownfield Zone". The primary purpose of the LBRA is to encourage the
redevelopment of blighted, contaminated and functionally obsolete property
within the Brownfield Zone by providing financial incentives.
5. Project Description

Corporation plans to locate its new 10,000 s.f. Downtown Business Incubator
in the building.

A BRIEF HISTORY
OP
PARKER MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH

In September 1932, a small group of people from South Baptist Church
organized a Sunday School under the name The Union Gospel Sunday
School" and they met in the old Forest Road School building. The Church
was organized in the same school building in February, 1935, .'s-.nd the
Church and Sunday School was carried on under lay leadership until it was
incorporated May 24, 1938, with 29 members.
T.n1938, an acre of land at 1902 East Cavanaugh Road was graciously

given as a memorial to Mrs. Lena Parker; hence, the name. "Parker
Memorial Baptist Church" . The first services at the Cavanaugh Road
location was on July 30, 1939.
A metal " Wonder. Building" was constructed in 1956 as the church outgrew
the original wood frame building. On June 7, 1964, ground was broken for
the present auditorium
The metal building was dismantled in 1990 and the entire east wing was
remodeled. This made way for the covered drive through at the east
entrance, a larger lobby, a new church office complex, enlarged classrooms,
enlarged restrooms, and a new kitchen-lunchroom area.
Another, buildin.g was added just a Few years ago that contains our World
Wide Bible Ministries, along with a gymnasium for our school and a place
of Fellowship for our members.

To 'Whom It May Concern;
It has come to my attention that the members of the Parker Memorial Baptist Church
would wish to tribute their Pastor, Dr. Don Green, with having the bridge near Hawk Island, on
Cavanaugh Rd, -named after him. I believe this would be a great honor to him, considering his
great impact on the community.
Called to preach at the youatg age of 16, Pastor Green will have been a Member of the
church for 55 years as of August 14 , 2010. He has raised a family, consisting of 5 boys and one
daughissr, to follow in his footsteps. He, and his congregation, has bey active in reaching the
Word throughout the community by Sunday school, Vacation Bible School, and bus ministry.
They have went out of their way to bring people to church, who had difficult transportation,
while providing people with food and clothing as they could.
Pastor Green has been a big financial supporter of the City Rescue Mission. He has sent
ministries, along with himself, to preach there as well as in jails, prisons, and nursing homes. He
spends many hours with the sick and time in need, As people will say, he really is a "People
Person."
Dr, Green has also administrated a Clhnistian School and bible Institute. He is engaged
paymlaxily in Educational ministries, making tapes and booklets, spreading the gospel. Not only
has he reached out through the community, but the. world as well. He has traveled to many
diet countries with his teachings.
Think you for taking this time to consider naming the bridge the "Donald L. Green
Memorial Bridge" I'm sure after reading this letter; you will see Dr. Don-Gee= as a caring, hard
working person who deserves to be recognized in such a way.
Sincerely,

Esteemed Members of the Lansing City Council:
The congregation of the Parker Memorial Baptist Church at 1902 E. Cavanaugh, is requesting the naming a
bridge in honor of their pastor Dr, Don Green. It is a pleasure and an honor for me to write a letter of support
in the naming of the bridge spanning the creek on E. Cavanaugh road near Hawk Island Park for Pastor Dr.
Don Green. The bridge is immediately west of the church.
Dr. Green has been the pastor of Parker Memorial Baptist Church since 1955 and has enriched the lives of
thousands of Lansing citizens in that span of time. He has provided leadership for church members that
strengthen the moral fiber of our city. Dr. Green is married to Fay and has six children, five sons that are
ordained ministers and a daughter that is married to a minister. Since he came to Lansing as a pastor, he has
extended support to the families of his church by initiating the programs that promote strong family values
and involvement in caring for others. Among his many, many accomplishments is the starting of a bible
publishing effort that provides free bibles to anyone who cannot afford one, and starting a school in 1974.
Through his leadership the congregation is a strong supporter of missionaries all over the world. Through his
tireless efforts and inspiration, he has a congregation that is involved in an extensive number of activities.
He is one man, resolved to live the life of a Christian; a great example for all us. His leadership, first with his
family and then with his congregation has impacted Lansing with the strong citizens that serve the whole
community and branch out to serve-the world.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Pastor Green for many years and feel that he is certainly unworthy of this
recognition. I totally support the naming of the bridge in his honor. Please call me should you need
additional information.

RE: Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments

Wireless Communication Tower Ordinance
Dear Mayor Bernero:
Attached is the proposed amendment to Section 1298.07 of the Zoning Ordinance regulating
Wireless Communication Towers. The purpose of the amendments is to clarify the existing
ordinance language, clean up some clerical errors and to require that applications for new wireless
communication towers include evidence of a lease or an option to lease agreement with a
telecommunications provider. The lease requirements will prevent towers from being erected for
speculation purposes only.
No comments were received at the Planning Board public hearing held on October 19, 2010.
Following your review of this matter, please refer it to the City Council for its consideration.
Sincerely yours,
William Rieske
Secretary, Lansing Planning Board

CITYOFLANSING
SNOWCLEARING STANDARDS
Draft
October 20, 2010
We are providing this information to clarify the enforcement procedures for the revisions to City
Ordinance 1020.06 regarding the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks.
Background
Who: The City of Lansing Public Service Department, together with the Mayor's Office
and the City Council are asking for your help in making public sidewalks safe.
What: A City Ordinance that requires property owners, to not permit any snow or ice to
remain on any sidewalk adjacent to their property for more than 24 hours after snow
has fallen or ice has formed. It is your responsibility to clear the full width of the
sidewalks adjacent to your property.
When: Sidewalks must be kept clear at all times except during a weather event in which
snow and ice are continuously accumulating. Property owners will have 24 hours
after an event ends to clear their sidewalk.
Where: Public sidewalks in the City of Lansing.
Why: Public sidewalks need to be free of snow and ice to provide a safe route for everyday
use by your neighbors, your postal carriers, school children, the physically challenged
and others.
Sidewalk Inspection Process:
1st Inspection&Issuance of Violation

A City inspector may issue a violation notice if you fail to remove snow or ice from your
sidewalk after 24 hours from the end of a winter weather event. The notice will be posted on the
property and mailed to you by 1St class mail. If you receive a violation notice, you will be given
an additional 24 hours to clear your sidewalks. The beginning of this 24 hour period is 5:00 p.m.
on the next mail delivery day after the day the violation was issued.
2"dInspection and Clearing of Snow or Ice

If you do not clear the sidewalks as required by the notice, the City may clear the sidewalk for
you. If you have cleared your sidewalk before we get there, that will be greatly appreciated and
no costs will be charged to you.
If the sidewalk has not been cleared and the crews clear it, the cost will be billed to the property
owner for the cost of the work which includes an administrative fee.
Costs
The costs for clearing per the fiscal year 2011 budget passed by the Lansing City Council are as
follows:
$116.33 for the first 20 minutes of snow clearing
$48.79 for each 20 minute period of additional snow clearing
Assessment Rol ! Appeal

An assessment roll will be created that includes all sidewalk clearing fees. A public hearing will
be held by the City Council to consider the assessment roll. You will receive a notice ten days in
advance of the hearing. If you feel you have been unfairly assessed, you will be able to express
your concerns at the public hearing. City Council will make the final decision on any contested
assessments. Once City Council ratifies the assessment roll, you will have 60 days to submit
payment or the cost will be added to your property tax bill.
Process Overview: Provisions for Snow Accumulation

Snow event definition:
The ordinance prohibits, "Any snow or ice to remain on any public sidewalk adjacent to any
house, building or lot owned or occupied by that person, or on the Public sidewalk adjacent to
any multifamily dwelling or unoccupied house, building .... For 24 hours after the same has
fallen or formed." It does not specify a minimum accumulation depth. This is because any
accumulation can be hazardous.
Snow removal should be an ongoing task and property owners should keep a constant vigil for
snow or icy conditions and not rely on the City to give them 24 hour notice of impending
enforcement activities.
FAQs:
Q: Why did we pass this new ordinance?

A: To enable the City to clear sidewalks that aren't being cleared and charge the associated costs
to the property owners. The requirements for property owners to keep sidewalks clear are not
new and have been in the ordinance for many years.
Q: The snow stopped at 11:00 this morning. How long do I have to clear my sidewalk?
A: By City Ordinance you have until 11:00 tomorrow morning, 24 hours after the end of a snow
event.
Q: Will the ordinance be enforced on weekends or City Holidays?

A: Technically the requirements for keeping your sidewalk clear are continuously in place.
However, enforcement activities will generally occur during normal business hours of the City.
Q: What if I don't clear my sidewalk?

A: A City Inspector may issue you a snow violation notice stating non-compliance. 24 hours
after you receive the notice, the sidewalk will be rechecked and if it is still not cleared, it may be
cleared by the City.
Q: What will that cost me?
A: Currently the rate is set at $116.33 for the first 20 minutes of work and $48.79 for every
additional 20 minute period. The City will clear the sidewalks as quickly as possible. These fees
reimburse the City for the costs to perform the work and administrate the program.
Q: The City snowplows went through and plowed snow onto my cleared sidewalk. Am I
responsible for clearing that?
A: Yes. We ask our drivers to be as careful as possible but some things are un-avoidable and the
streets have to get plowed. The snowplows must maintain reasonable speeds to effectively get
the snow off the streets. We advise residents with sidewalks close to the street to plan
appropriately when/if the snowplows throw additional snow on the sidewalk.
Q: I live on a corner property. Am I responsible for clearing both sides of my property including
the ramps down to the street?
A: Yes. The ordinance states "any public sidewalk adjacent to" the property shall be cleared by
that owner. This includes any ramps leading down to the street.
Q: I am out of town, away from home, for days or weeks occasionally. What should I do about
my snow removal during those times?
A: If you are away from home for any extended period of time you should make arrangements
with a friend, relative, neighbor or professional snow removal service to monitor the public
sidewalk adjacent to your property for snow and ice removal.
Q: I live on a neighborhood street. Sometimes the City does not plow my street. Why do I have
to clear the snow on my sidewalk?
A: The City has a defined policy which uses limited funds for clearing snow from streets to
enable safe travel for vehicles. Sidewalks are used by all types of people during all hours of the
day. Keep in mind that children, the elderly, postal workers, and physically challenged people all
rely on safe passage routes on sidewalks. If safe passage is not maintained, this creates a
hardship for people and worse yet, causes some to use the street as an alternative.
Definitions
Your Sidewalk- any sidewalk that is adjacent to your property including any ramps leading
down to the street whether at corners or mid-block.
Clearing Sidewalk- shoveling and/or salting the adjacent sidewalks the full width of the
sidewalk.
Violation Notice - a notice issued by the City notifying property owners that they are in
violation of the snow clearing ordinance and that they have 24 hours to clear their sidewalk. This
notice is posted at the property and mailed to the property owner.
Weather Event - a winter weather event that causes snow or ice to continuously accumulate.
