COMMUNICATIONS MISCELLANEOUS
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council Member:
My name is Christopher Bergman, and I am currently building the
house located at 1223 Oak St,
Wyandotte. I am writing to you because I understand there is a
possibility of the City expanding the NEZ (Neighborhood Enterprise
Zoning), which would be an incentive of great proportion, and
quite frankly is something that all prospective buyers have
inquired about thus far.
If there is a chance of this happening, I would greatly appreciate
your consideration to be included in the NEZ program expansion.
I can be reached any time at 248-755-7653, should you have any
questions.
Yours truly,
Christopher Bergman, President, Bergh, Inc.

Mayor James DeSana and City Council Members,
The Beautification Commission is interested in improving the area
immediately surrounding the Purple Heart Statue on Superior
Boulevard @ Biddle Avenue. However, before attempting to landscape
the area it will be necessary to investigate any plans which may
be pending for maintenance of the statue. The statue, which was
last repaired in 1999, is again in need of further repair.
Bronzing of the statue may be a more favorable option rather than
repairing the current statue, due to long term costs and
longevity. Please see enclosed letter regarding cost for this
project.
It has been suggested to add flags to the area that would
represent each branch of the military.
Currently, there is no water access or sprinkler system in the
immediate area.
In order to establish and maintain plantings, it would be
extremely important to have the addition of a water source.
Pavers would beautify and provide easy access for maintenance.
The addition of perennials, annuals and bulbs would create an
appealing landscape feature.
Please see attached landscape/planting draft.
The historical commission is currently holding the amount of
$10,000 for statue upkeep. The beautification commission has
$2,490 set aside for landscaping of the area. Additional funding
will be necessary, and we are hoping to gain support from local
businesses, veterans and the community in order to successfully
complete this project.
Thank you,
Roseann Gabrys

Re: Establishment of four new Neighborhood Enterprise Zones
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
Public Act 147 of 1992 (Enclosure 1) authorizes the City of
Wyandotte to establish Neighborhood Enterprise Zones (NEZ's). The
Zones may encompass up to 15% of a city's area, within which a
house for which an NEZ certificate has been issued is taxed at
one-half the average statewide millage rate, which was 16.86 mills
in 2006. The City currently has three NEZ's (Zones 1, 2 and 3)
that encompass approximately 3% of the City's area.
This is to recommend that the City designate four new zones
encompassing the following:
Zone 4 – Labadie Park Neighborhood Project located at St. Johns,
Bennett and Labadie.
Zone 5– Vinewood Village Condominium Project located at Vinewood,
Sixth Street and the railroad tracks.
Zone 6– Condominium projects at Oak & Second (southwest corner)
and Oak & Fourth (northwest corner).
Zone 7 – Proposed condominium project at Biddle and Orchard
(northwest corner).
If these areas are designated as NEZ's, they would be eligible for
a six (6) to fifteen (15) year tax exemption, with the duration of
the exemption determined by the City Council when approving a
certificate for each housing unit. As addressed in separate letter
to the Mayor and Council, an NEZ certificate reduces the taxes
paid by a homeowner by approximately 65%. During the last three
years of the exemption, the percentage of mills paid is gradually
increased each year (see Enclosure 1, page 6, Section 9(6)-(8) for
details). Additional background information on the City's existing
NEZ program is provided in Enclosure 2.
If the Mayor and Council approve establishing the new zones, homes
that have already been constructed will only be eligible for an
NEZ certificate if Public Act 147 is amended to allow retroactive
inclusion of the properties. State Representative Farrah's office
has prepared a draft bill for the Legislature to consider, but it
may take 6-9 months before the outcome is known. Further, it
should be noted that establishing Zones 4 and 7 will impact
repayment of the Brownfield Authority's Revolving Loan with the
City and the Downtown Development Authority's Promissory Note with
the Seller.
If the Council concurs with the undersigned, the following
resolution has been prepared (Enclosure 3) setting the date to
consider arguments for and against the establishment of the zones.
At the time of the hearing, a proposed resolution addressing other
requirements of the Act will be submitted, including the criteria
listed in Section 3.
Very truly yours,
Joseph M. Voszatka, Director Community Development
April 12, 2007
The Honorable Mayor James R. DeSana And City Council, City Hall
Dear Mayor DeSana and City Council Members:
At the City Council meeting held on April 2, 2007, the "Sale of
Vacant Parcels for Single Family Homes at Various Locations in the
City" was approved to receive request for proposals (RFP). The
Resolution also requested the lots be advertised as Neighborhood
Enterprise Zone (NEZ) lots and the undersigned to provide adequate
information to City Council to take the necessary steps to
designate these additional NEZ locations. The following areas have
been identified for NEZ designation:
· South side of Sycamore from 14th to 15th Streets
· West side of 8th Street from Cedar to Walnut
· West side of 8th Street from Walnut to Vinewood
· East side of 8th Street from Walnut south to 2447 8th Street
· North side of Vinewood from 8th to Cora
· West side of Cora from 2210 Cora south to Walnut
· East side of Cora from Cedar to Walnut
· West and East side of Cora from Walnut to Vinewood
· East side of Lincoln from St. Johns to Bondie
· West and east side of 5th Street from alley north of Goddard to
the alley south of St. Johns
· East side of 8th Street from alley south of Goddard to Baumey
· North side of Walnut from Mollno to 12th Streets
If these areas are designated as NEZ lots, they would be eligible
for a six (6) to fifteen (15) year tax exemption, with the
duration of the exemption determined by the City Council when
approving a certificate for each housing unit. An NEZ certificate
reduces the taxes paid by a homeowner as follows:
Home valued at $200,000 without the tax abatement using 2006
Homestead Tax Rate:
Taxable Value for land and house - $100,000 x 48 mills = $4,800.00
Home valued at $200,000 with the tax abatement using 2006
Homestead Tax Rate:
Taxable Value for land - $10,000 x 48 mills = $ 480.00
Taxable Value for home - $90,000 x 16.86 mills = $1,500.00
$1,980.00
This is a yearly savings of $2,820.00 ($4,800 without tax
abatement - $1,980.00 with tax abatement).
If the Council would like to proceed with considering the
establishment of the zones, the following resolution has been
prepared setting the date to consider arguments for and against
the establishment of the zones. At the time of the hearing, a
proposed resolution addressing other requirements of the Act will
be submitted.

Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
This is a formal request to establish an Obsolete Properties
Rehabilitation District for the above property under PA 146 of
2000, the Obsolete Properties Rehabilitation Act. The property is
currently zoned, ("I-1" for Industrial) but is in the process of
being converted to B-2 General Business District. LTW Properties,
LLC is in the process of purchasing the land and structures from
the current owners. Currently the property sits vacant with the
facilities in bad need of repairs and renovations. Please see the
attached letter from our architect Designtec, as to why this
property is functionally obsolete.
By way of background, the property contains three separate
buildings, with the oldest being built back in the 1940's when the
property was used as a brick making company. The two current
buildings that had been used for storing boats were both built in
the mid 1970's. However, it now has remained vacant and unused for
the last year. Our intention is to revitalize the property and
spend up to $1,000,000 in the demolition of some of the older
structures, while completely renovating the storage facilities,
converting one of them into a heated storage facility, and the
other one into a 12,000 square foot waterfront restaurant.
There are several benefits to the City of Wyandotte from the
rehabilitation of this obsolete property. The economic advantage
will be that a once vacant and functionally unusable building will
be replaced with a state of the art Marina and boat storage and
repair facility. In addition, the waterfront restaurant will be a
showpiece for Wyandotte, and surrounding communities, as well as
attracting people from all over who frequent the Detroit River by
way of boat.
Presently the property which sits on the Detroit River and very
visible to boaters offers nothing economically to the community by
sitting vacant. Our plan will bring new life to the waterfront in
Wyandotte by offering a place for family, and friends, as well out
of town visitors to congregate to enjoy a good meal while enjoying
the waterfront view. The neighboring residential and commercial
buildings will only increase in value as they will be adjacent to
a property with an estimated $1,000,000 invested into it, as
opposed to the vacant shell of a building that has sat there
unused for the last year.
As for employment opportunities for the community, the marina and
storage facility will retain two fulltime and two part-time
employees, while the restaurant during peak times will employ
another 100 people.
We are unable to move forward on the rehabilitation of the
property due to the Act's prohibition of same prior to the
creation of a district. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate
your processing this request, and hopefully approval, for
establishing an OPRA district so that we may proceed with the
application for an OPRA certificate as soon as possible. Thank you
for your consideration and assistance in this request.
Sincerely,
Leonard P. Nadolski, Managing Member of LTW Properties, LLC

Re: Establishing an Obsolete Property Rehabilitation District for
1 St. Johns Street
Dear Mayor and Council,
Per the request from Leonard P. Nadolski, on behalf of LTW
Properties, L.L.C. ("LTW"), dated April 11, 2007, to establish a
single property Obsolete Property Rehabilitation (OPRE) District
at 1 St. Johns Street, the enclosed resolution has been prepared
authorizing the holding of a public hearing for the Mayor and
Council to consider establishing a District.
In accordance with the City's OPRE Review Policy, LTW's architect
has submitted a letter outlining why the property qualifies as
"functionally obsolete" property. Additionally, the City Assessor
has submitted a separate letter with her determination regarding
the property. Additional information regarding the OPRE District
will be presented at the time of the hearing.
If you wish to schedule a public hearing to consider the request,
the following resolution authorizes the actions necessary for the
Council to consider establishing an OPRE District.

Re: 1 St. Johns also known as 57-004-07-0004-000
Dear Honorable Mayor DeSana and Council Members:
As outlined in the communication from Leonard P. Nadolski,
Managing Member of LTW Properties, LLC the buildings located at 1
St. Johns are inadequate in design and, therefore, meet the
definition of a "functionally obsolete" property under Public Act
146 of 2000, the Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act.
After a visual inspection of the property the obsolescence is
evident in the floor plan, heating and mechanical systems which
are inappropriate for the highest and best use of the property.
Therefore, it is my professional opinion as the City Assessor that
the above mentioned property suffers in excess of 50% functional
obsolescence.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the
undersigned.
Sincerely,
Colleen A. Keehn, City Assessor

Sub-Total Estimated Cost $54,110.00
Work Completed to Date $8,374.13

total estimated cost, including the ceiling fans, is $65,120.00.
In order to proceed with the consolidation renovations, a budget
amendment is required to provide for these improvements.

will include the moving of all Municipal Services bill collection
services, new service requests for electric, water and cable, and
customer services representatives and activities relating
electric, water and cable, to the first floor of City Hall. This

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Department of Legal Affairs, City Engineer and
Superintendent of Recreation
Re: No Fishing Sign at Perry Place
Dear Mayor and City Council:
In response to the communication from James Francis of the DNR,
the City Council confirmed that "no fishing" and 'no swimming"
signs continue to be placed at the end of Perry Place. This was to
address concerns for the public safety and general welfare since
there are no public facilities such as bathrooms, railings, life
preservers, etc. The city council under Chapter VI, section 10
(Paragraph 74) has control of all public property in the city
which it may enforce by resolution or ordinance. The City of
Wyandotte provides a fishing pier at Bishop Park which provides
broad access to the Detroit River.
From a liability perspective, the Detroit River is a navigable
water. As a result, the Michigan courts have held that the
liability protections contained in the Recreational Land Users Act
do not apply to a person fishing on a navigable water. In the case
of Densel vs. City of Ann Arbor, a fisherman on the Huron River
had his boat overturned when a dam owned by the City of Ann Arbor
opened. The fisherman alleged that the city was liable because the
city did not place signs warning the public of the dangerous
condition of the dam. The Court of Appeals held that city could be
sued. From a risk management point of view, the City faces
liability exposure if it permits fishing at all locations along
the river.
The undersigned are aware of only one concern regarding the lack
of fishing facilities at Perry Place. If anyone has personal
concerns, it would be our recommendation that he or she contact
the Superintendent of Recreation in writing to determine whether
the City can address those concerns.
Respectfully submitted,
William R. R. Look, City Attorney

Chief Grantwill not be available until Monday 04/16/07. Sgt.
Pouliot has reviewed the attached resolution and recommends
placing better signage along 13th indicating no truck traffic at
13th and Eureka.
In addition to better signage and truck enforcement, Sgt. Pouliot
recommends that the businesses located at the 13th and Grove area
be requested to advise their delivery personal to use 11th street
from Eureka to conduct deliveries.
At this time Sgt. Pouliot does not recommend changing 13th street
to a one way as it may affect the business located at 13th and
Eureka.
I concur with Sgt. Pouliots suggestion regarding this matter. I
expect that Chief Grant will also concur. I will make arrangements
for a proper cover letter to be forwarded to your office Monday
morning to accompany the attached resolution.
