NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. The Bonds are authorized to be issued in the aggregate principal sum of
not to exceed Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,200,000) for the
purpose of paying all or part of the costs of acquiring and constructing the Capital
Improvements, including payment of engineering, financial and legal expenses and costs
incidental to the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds.
The Authorized Officer is hereby authorized to determine, based upon the advice
of the Financial Consultant, whether to sell the Bonds in one or more series on a tax
exempt basis or on a taxable basis as Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds or
Build America Bonds. Each series of Bonds, if more than one, shall comprise only one
type of Bonds as described in the preceding sentence. The aggregate principal amount of
each series of the Bonds shall be determined by the Authorized Officer upon sale of the
Bonds in consultation with bond counsel and the Financial Consultant.
The Bonds shall be designated as the 2010 GENERAL OBLIGATION LIMITED
TAX BONDS. If a series of the Bonds is sold as Recovery Zone Economic Development
Bonds then the Bonds shall have the additional designation of "(Taxable - Recovery
Zone Economic Development Bonds)" or other designation selected by the Authorized
Officer. If a series of the Bonds is sold as Build America Bonds then the Bonds shall
have the additional designation of "(Taxable - Build America Bonds - Direct Pay)" or
other designation selected by the Authorized Officer. If the Bonds are sold or delivered
after December 31, 2010 then the Authorized Officer may change the word "2010" in the
designated name of the Bonds and the Debt Retirement Fund and Construction Fund
(each defined below) to the year in which the Bonds will be sold or delivered.
The Bonds shall consist of bonds in fully-registered form of the denomination of
$5,000, or integral multiples thereof not exceeding for each maturity the maximum
principal amount of that maturity, numbered as determined by the Transfer Agent (as
hereinafter defined), dated as of the date of delivery thereof or such other date as may be
detennined by the Authorized Officer at the time of sale of the Bonds, and numbered as
determined by the Transfer Agent. The Bonds shall mature as serial bonds or term bonds
on the dates and in the amounts as shall be determined by the Authorized Officer at the
time of sale of the Bonds. If more than one series of Bonds is sold then the two series
may be treated as a single issue under the same authorization for the purpose of fixing
maturities under Section 503 of Act 34.
The Authorized Officer is hereby authorized to appoint a bond registrar, paying
agent and transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") for the Bonds. The Authorized Officer is
hereby authorized to execute one or more agreements with the Transfer Agent on behalf
of the City. The City reserves the right to replace the Transfer Agent at any time,
provided written notice of such replacement is given to the registered owners of record of
the Bonds not less than sixty (60) days prior to an interest payment date.
The Bonds may be issued in book-entry only form through The Depository Trust
Company in New York, New York ("DTC") and the Authorized Officer is authorized to
execute such custodial or other agreement with DTC as may be necessary to accomplish
the issuance of the Bonds in book-entry only form, and to make such changes in the form
of the Bonds within the parameters of this Resolution as may be required to accomplish
the foregoing.
The Bonds shall bear interest at a rate or rates to be determined by the Authorized
Officer at the time of sale of the Bonds, payable on May 1, 2011 or such other initial
interest payment date as shall be deteimined at the time of sale of the Bonds, and
semi-annually thereafter on May 1st and November 1st of each year, by check or draft
drawn on the Transfer Agent mailed to the registered owner at the registered address, as
shown on the registration books of the City maintained by the Transfer Agent. Interest
shall be payable to the registered owner of record as of the fifteenth day of the month
prior to the payment date for each interest payment. The record date of determination of
the registered owner for purposes of payment of interest as provided in this paragraph
may be changed by the City to conform to market practice in the future. The principal of
the Bonds shall be payable at the corporate trust office of the Transfer Agent upon
presentation and surrender of the appropriate bond. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Bonds are held in book-entry form by DTC, payment shall be made in the manner
prescribed by DTC.
The Bonds may be subject to optional redemption, and/or extraordinary optional
redemption, and/or mandatory redemption prior to maturity as determined by the
Authorized Officer at the time of sale of the Bonds. Unless waived by any registered
owner of bonds to be redeemed, official notice of redemption shall be given by the
Transfer Agent on behalf of the City and shall conform to the requirements set forth in
the Bond. Such notice shall be dated and shall contain at a minimum the following
information: original issue date; maturity dates; interest rates; CUSIP numbers, if any;
certificate numbers (and in the case of partial redemption) the called amounts of each
certificate; the redemption date; the redemption price or premium; the place where bonds
called for redemption are to be surrendered for payment; and that interest on bonds or
portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption
date. In addition, further notice shall be given by the Transfer Agent in such manner as
may be required or suggested by regulations or market practice at the applicable time, but
no defect in such further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further
notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice
thereof is given as prescribed herein.
The Transfer Agent shall keep the books of registration for this issue on behalf of
the City. Any Bond may be transferred upon such registration books by the registered
owner of record, in person or by the registered owner's duly authorized attorney, upon
surrender of the Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a duly executed
written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Transfer Agent. Whenever any
Bond or Bonds shall be surrendered for transfer, the City shall execute and the Transfer
Agent shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond or Bonds, for like aggregate principal
amount. The Transfer Agent shall require the payment by the bondholder requesting the
transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the
transfer.
2. The Bonds shall be executed in the name of the City with the manual or
facsimile signatures of the Mayor and the City Clerk, and the corporate seal of the City
shall be manually impressed or a facsimile thereof shall be printed on the Bonds. No
Bond authorized under this Resolution shall be valid until authenticated by an authorized
representative of the Transfer Agent. If Bonds are not issued in book-entry form then
executed blank bonds for registration and issuance to transferees may simultaneously,
and from time to time thereafter as necessary, be delivered to the Transfer Agent for
safekeeping. The Bonds shall be delivered to the Transfer Agent for authentication and
be delivered by the Transfer Agent to the purchaser or other person in accordance with
instructions from the Authorized Officer upon payment of the purchase price for the
Bonds in accordance with the Bond Purchase Agreement for the Bonds.
3. The City expressly and irrevocably pledges its full faith and credit for the
prompt and timely payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The Bonds
shall be payable, as a first budget obligation, from the general fund of the City, and the
City shall levy annually ad valorem taxes on all the taxable property in the City which,
taking into consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, shall be fully
sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds provided, however, that if at the
time of making any such tax levy there shall be other legally available funds for the
payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds, then credit therefor may be taken
against the levy for payment of the Bonds. The levy shall be subject to constitutional,
statutory and charter tax rate limitations.
4. The City Treasurer is authorized and directed to open a separate
depository or trust account with a bank or trust company to be designated as the 2010
GENERAL OBLIGATION LIMITED TAX BOND DEBT RETIREMENT FUND (the
"Debt Retirement Fund"). The Debt Retirement Fund may be pooled or combined with
other debt retirement funds for issues of bonds of like character as provided by Act 34 or
other state law. An amount sufficient to assure timely payment of the principal of and
interest on the Bonds shall be transferred each year from the general fund of the City or
other funds legally available therefor into the Debt Retirement Fund. The moneys
deposited in the fund shall be used solely for the purpose of paying the principal of and
interest on the Bonds and, as may be necessary, to rebate arbitrage earnings, if any, to the
United States Department of Treasury as required by the Internal Revenue Code. The
accrued interest and premium, if any, received upon delivery of the Bonds may also be
deposited in the Debt Retirement Fund. The City may provide for the payment of
principal of any of the Bonds issued as ten"' bonds through the purchase of municipal
securities in the open market at a price not greater than that payable on the next
redemption date in order to satisfy all or part of the next succeeding scheduled mandatory
redemption.
In the event a deposit of trust is made of cash or direct obligations of the United
States or obligations the principal of and interest on which are guaranteed by the United
States, or a combination thereof, the principal of and interest on which, without
reinvestment, come due at times and in amounts sufficient to pay at maturity or
irrevocable call for earlier optional or mandatory redemption, the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Bonds, this Resolution shall be defeased and the owners of the
Bonds shall have no further rights under this Resolution except to receive payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest of the Bonds from the cash or securities
deposited in trust and the interest and gains thereon and to transfer and exchange Bonds
as provided herein.
5. The City Treasurer is authorized and directed to create a fund designated
as the 2010 GENERAL OBLIGATION LIMITED TAX BOND CONSTRUCTION
FUND (the "Construction Fund"). The City Treasurer shall deposit the proceeds of the
Bonds into the Construction Fund, less accrued interest and premium, if any, which may
be deposited into the Debt Retirement Fund at the discretion of the Authorized Officer.
The moneys in the Construction Fund shall be used to pay the costs of the Capital
Improvements and to pay the costs of issuance of the Bonds. Moneys remaining in the
Construction Fund after completion of the Capital Improvements may be used for any
purpose permitted by law, and, for any series of Bonds sold on a tax-exempt basis, if
bond counsel advises the City that such use will not cause the interest on the Bonds to be
included in gross income for federal income tax purposes within the meaning of the
Internal Revenue Code, and, for any series of Bonds for which the City wishes to receive
a direct payment credit from the United States Treasury, if bond counsel advises the City
that such use will not cause the Bonds to no longer qualify for the credit.
6. The Bonds shall be in substantially the following form with such
revisions, additions and deletions as may be advisable or necessary to conform with the
final terms of the Bonds established upon sale thereof:

7. If a series of the Bonds is issued as Recovery Zone Economic
Development Bonds or Build America Bonds, then the Authorized Officer is hereby
directed to elect, on behalf of the City, to qualify the Bonds as such as required by the
Internal Revenue Code, and to make such representations and agreements in certificates
delivered at the time of delivery of the Bonds as may be necessary to qualify the Bonds
as Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds or Build America Bonds and receive
the direct payment credit from the United States Treasury, and to take all other actions
necessary or advisable, and to make such other filings with any parties, including the
Internal Revenue Service, to request the payment of the appropriate credits from the
United States Treasury.

Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,200,000).
11. Given the volatile nature of the bond market, special tax concerns relating
to the issuance of the Bonds as Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds or Build
America Bonds, in order to enable the City to select and adjust terms for the Bonds and
allow more flexibility in accessing the municipal bond market to better assure compliance
with pricing restrictions applicable to Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds and
Build America Bonds, and in order to achieve sale efficiencies so as to reduce the cost of
issuance and interest expense, it is determined in the best interests of the City to negotiate
the sale of the Bonds.
Based upon the advice of the Financial Consultant, the City hereby names Robert
W. Baird & Co. as managing underwriter for the Bonds. The City reserves the right to
name additional co-managers and/or to develop a selling group. The Authorized Officer

preliminary official statement describing the Bonds and to deem such Preliminary

to the provisions and limitations of this Resolution, to negotiate sale of the Bonds to the
Underwriter, and to accept an offer by the Underwriter to purchase the Bonds without
further resolution of this Board. This authorization includes, but is not limited to,
issuance of the Bonds in one or more series on a tax exempt basis or on a taxable basis as
Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds or Build America Bonds, determination
of original principal amount of each series of the Bonds; the prices at which the Bonds
are sold; underwriter's discount for the Bonds, the date of the Bonds; the schedule of
principal maturities and whether the Bonds shall mature serially or as term bonds; the
provisions for early redemption including mandatory redemption of tern bonds, if any;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. If, upon the advice of the Financial Consultant, refunding all or a portion
of the Prior Bonds would accomplish a net savings of debt service costs in at least the
amount provided in this Resolution, then Bonds of the City designated as the 2010
UNLIMITED TAX GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS (the "Bonds")
shall be issued in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed Two Million Six
Hundred Thousand ($2,600,000) for the purpose of refunding all or a portion of the Prior
Bonds including payment of legal, financial and other expenses incident thereto. If the
Bonds are sold or delivered after December 31, 2010 then the Authorized Officer may
change the word "2010" in the designated name of the Bonds to the year in which the
Bonds will be sold or delivered.
The Bonds shall consist of bonds in fully-registered form of the denomination of
$5,000, or integral multiples thereof not exceeding for each maturity the maximum
principal amount of that maturity, numbered as determined by the Transfer Agent (as
hereinafter defined), dated as of the date of delivery thereof or such other date as may be

the Bonds not less than sixty (60) days prior to an interest payment date.
The Bonds may be issued in book-entry only form through The Depository Trust
Company in New York, New York ("DTC") and the Authorized Officer is authorized to

the foregoing.
The Bonds shall bear interest at a rate or rates to be determined by the Authorized
Officer at the time of sale of the Bonds, payable on May 1, 2011 or such other initial

drawn on the Transfer Agent mailed to the registered owner at the registered address, as
shown on the registration books of the City maintained by the Transfer Agent. Interest

Bonds are held in book-entry form by DTC, payment shall be made in the manner
prescribed by DTC.

for such term bonds shall be specified at the time of sale. Unless waived by any
registered owner of bonds to be redeemed, official notice of redemption shall be given by

certificate; the redemption date; the redemption price or premium; the place where bonds
called for redemption are to be surrendered for payment; and that interest on bonds or
portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption
date. In addition, further notice shall be given by the Transfer Agent in such manner as
may be required or suggested by regulations or market practice at the applicable time, but
no defect in such further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further
notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice
thereof is given as prescribed herein.
The Transfer Agent shall keep the books of registration for this issue on behalf of
the City. Any Bond may be transferred upon such registration books by the registered
owner of record, in person or by the registered owner's duly authorized attorney, upon

and from time to time thereafter as necessary, be delivered to the Transfer Agent for
safekeeping. The Bonds shall be delivered to the Transfer Agent for authentication and

with the Registered Owners of the Refunding Bonds that as long as any of the
Refunding Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid as to either principal or interest,
the City shall not invest, reinvest or accumulate any moneys deemed to be
proceeds of the Refunding Bonds or the 1998 Bonds pursuant to the Internal
Revenue Code in such a manner as to cause the Refunding Bonds to be
"arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code. The City
hereby covenants that, to the extent permitted by law, it will take all actions within
its control and that it shall not fail to take any action as may be necessary to
maintain the exemption of interest on the Refunding Bonds from gross income for

other certificate to be signed by the Authorized Officer for the Refunding Bonds

of interest on the Refunding Bonds and the most favorable price for purchase of
securities to be escrowed for payment of the Refunded Bonds.

incurred by the underwriters in preparing for sale of the Refunding Bonds shall be
paid from the proceeds of the Refunding Bonds, if the Refunding Bonds are
issued, except as may be otherwise provided in the bond purchase agreement
for the Refunding Bonds.

insurance, and, in consultation with the Financial Consultant, to select an insurer

sold unless there shall be net present value savings equaling not less than
2.00% after payment of costs of issuance of the Refunding Bonds, and if the
principal and interest of the Refunding Bonds maturing in each operating year will
be less than the principal and interest of the Refunded Bonds maturing in such
operating year. The true interest cost of the Refunding Bonds shall not exceed
3.00%. The first maturity of principal on the Refunding Bonds shall occur no
earlier than May 1, 2011, and the date of the final maturity shall not be later than
May 1, 2014. The underwriter's discount or placement/purchaser's fee for the
Refunding Bonds shall not be greater than 1.00% ($10.00 per $1,000 of bonds)
of the principal amount of the Refunding Bonds. In making such determinations
the Authorized Officer is authorized to rely upon data provided by the Financial
Consultant or the underwriter of the Refunding Bonds.

4 minimal, the landscaping requirement may be reduced,
5 deferred, or waived.
6 Existing mature tree growth and natural land forms on the
7 site shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible. In
8 some cases, such as towers sited on large, wooded lots,
9 natural growth around the property perimeter may be a
10 sufficient buffer; in these cases, landscaping may be
11 deferred during the time period that the natural growth

3. Past Use of the Property - Site History
This brownfield project site is an approximately 25-acre parcel of commonly known as the
"Boys Training School (BTS) Property" hereinafter referred to as "the Property." The Property is
located on East Saginaw Street between Pennsylvania Avenue and Marshall Street.
The Property was historically used by the State of Michigan from the mid-1800's to the mid-
1960's as a juvenile detention center and training school. This past use of the Property resulted
in the contamination of surficial soils. Stockpiling of soil on the Property during construction
activity on an adjacent site may have also lead to contamination of the surficial soil. One or
more underground storage tanks (USTs), containing petroleum products, may have been located
on the Property in the past.
A Phase II Environmental Site Investigation Report completed in February 2001 by Soils and
Materials Engineers documented elevated levels of contaminants found through soil sampling
including selenium and mercury at concentrations above the Groundwater Surface Water
Interface (GSI) Protection Criterion. Furthermore, the Soils and Materials Engineers Phase II
Site Investigation Report noted the possibility that one or more USTs containing petroleum
products may remain on the Property. The results of these prior site assessments and the results
of subsequent soil and groundwater testing performed by AKT Peerless Environmental Services
on behalf of the LBRA have allowed AKT Peerless Environmental Services to conclude that the
Property is a "facility" in accordance with Part 201 of the Michigan Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Act, 1994 Mich. Pub. Act 451, as amended ("Part 201"). As a facility,
the Property may be eligible for redevelopment incentives from Lansing's Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority.
The then vacant State owned Former Boy's Training School site became available in the late
90's for purchase by the City. The parcel, centrally located along Saginaw Street offered a great
opportunity for urban residential development. The City purchased the property and requested
proposals for development from many local, state and national developers.
The Burton-Katzman Development Company (the "Original Developer") headquartered in

Bingham Farms, Michigan was selected as the developer. Because the site was a brownfield, it
was necessary for the City to offer brownfield redevelopment incentives to make the project
work economically.
4. Project Phase I: Brownfield Project Description
The original project proposed by the Original Developer was a large residential development of
both single family and multi-unit for sale owner occupied structures.
4
Figure 1 - Original Developer Site Plan
In 2002, the City of Lansing (City) entered into a purchase and development agreement with the
Developer. The agreement called for the Property to be developed for owner-occupied single
family housing between 177 and 183
units (approximate), including single-
family detached and single-family
attached dwellings. The overall
estimated investment for the project
at the time was approximately $26
million. In 2003, the City of Lansing
approved PRD-1-03 which was a
request by the Burton-Katzman
Development Company to implement
the BTS plan by developing a total of
177 condo units on the subject
property. The approved PRD consists
of 6, 12-unit condo buildings, 12, 6-
condo buildings and 33 single
family homes, for a gross density of
7.2 units per acre.
5
As noted above, previous
environmental investigations paid for
by the Lansing Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority,
established the presence of
environmental contamination on the
Property. However, during the
Developer's "due diligence" phase,
their consultants identified several
site conditions which were
previously unidentified and
unanticipated. Specifically,
petroleum contaminants were found
to be in the soil at one location on the
site and fill and peat, substances
unsuitable for building foundation
construction, were found to cover most of the property in significant quantities. Upon discovery
of these conditions, estimated costs for environmental work and site preparation increased to a
level that made the project unacceptable to the Developer unless the Brownfield incentives were
applied at a higher rate than was previously anticipated in the earlier Plan.
The original brownfield plan called for the Developer to pay for the up-front costs of both
cleanup and development and the LBRA intended to reimburse them for brownfield related costs
over a multiyear period. However in this instance and following then Mayor Hollister's
recommendation, the LBRA made the decision to issue a bond and borrowed funds to pay for a
large portion of the brownfield costs associated with the project. The plan called for the LBRA
to capture the increase in property taxes from the new development to make the payments on the
LBRA bond. The original brownfield plan was approved by the Lansing Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority (LBRA) and then the Lansing City Council in 2003.
As part of the Brownfield Plan, the

Council resolution of approval included
a provision providing the full faith and
credit of the City for bonds issued by
the LBRA in connection with the Plan.
In 2004, the LBRA issued $2,225,000 in
bonds to fund eligible brownfield costs
supporting the project. From 2004 to
the present, the LBRA has made
biannual BTS bond payments.
The Developer began the project in

2003 with the majority of eligible
activities taking place including
6
environmental, infrastructure and site preparation and made some progress toward reaching the
initial goal of being fully completed in 2008. However the market for housing began to soften
soon thereafter with each year worse than the previous until the developer fell behind schedule
and eventually defaulted on a bank loan they had secured to fund the project. At the time of
default the Developer had built 67 of the planned 168 units. As of 2010, 57 of the 67 built units
had been finished and sold, leaving 10 to be completed and 101 of the original planned units not
built.
5. Project Phase I: Existing Plan Brownfield Eligible Activities
As was stated previously, the LBRA and City approved amended plan (LBRA Plan #5c) in 2003.
Plan #5c contained the following list and amounts of approved Eligible Activities:
Table 1: Eligible Activities (!Existing Plan #5c) "Not to

Exceed" Cost:
1. Brownfield Plan Preparation (LBRA) $4,817.50
2. Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (LBRA) $1,500.00
3. Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (LBRA) $13,019.55
4. Baseline Environmental Assessment (LBRA) $3,153.75
5. Site Remediation & Due Care (Developer) $664,363.00
6. Total Environmental $686,853.80
7. Infrastructure Improvements (Developer) $346,500.00

8. Site Preparation (Developer) $910,000.00
9. Developer Interest Costs (Developer) $116,683.00
10. Environmental Insurance (Developer) $150,000.00
11. Total Non-Environmental $1,523,183.00
12. Revolving Fund Capture (LBRA) $610,902.00

13. Admin. & Legal Cost (LBRA) (10% of Capture) $411,312.00
Total Project Cost: $3,232,250.80
In 2003, the Developer also submitted Act 381 Work Plans to both the Michigan Economic
Development Corporation (MEDC) and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality
(MDEQ). The MEDC/MEGA Board approved the capture of taxes levied for school operating
purposes up to $1,890,237 of which no more than $283,536 could be taxes levied under the state
education tax act (SET). The purpose of this capture was to reimburse for non-environmental
Eligible Activities.
The MDEQ approved the capture of taxes levied for school operating purposes up to $630,442 of
which no more than $301,428 could be taxes levied under the state education tax act (SET). The
7
purpose of this capture was to reimburse for environmental Eligible Activities with half the
captured SET with the other half of captured SET to be deposited into the LBRA revolving fund.
Brownfield SBT Credit (Project #SO4-0017) was approved by Michigan Economic Growth
Authority on February 24, 2004 for a maximum Eligible Investment of $19,520,000 resulting in
a maximum credit of $1,000,000. The project was later amended to: add time resulting in a new
project completion date of February 24, 2011, and; convert the project to a multi-phase project (2
total phases). The project was also awarded a Certificate of Completion on September 28, 2007
for Phase I in the amount $500,000.
6. Previous Use of Bond Proceeds and Tax Capture to Fund Eligible Activities
The LBRA issued a bond on 08/01/2004 in the amount of $2,225,000.

The LBRA used $1,800,000 of the bond proceeds to fund eligible activities on behalf of the
Developer. The LBRA retained the remainder of the bond proceeds as a reserve to help make
the annual principal and interest payments of the LBRA bond. Table 2 documents the use of the
bond reserve revenue and tax capture to date per the existing plan.
Due to falling property values, the failure of the Developer to meet the original buildout schedule
and owner occupied unit property tax delinquencies, the LBRA was forced to ask the City to
make good on its pledge to the LBRA and make up the shortage in the LBRA bond payments.
The LBRA has entered into an agreement to pay back the City for the borrowed funds including
interest at a rate of 6% annually. These payments are scheduled to begin in 2014 after the LBRA
bond is paid off in 2013.
Table 3 gives the existing and projected shortfalls in bond payments that the LBRA faces. The
table also calculates the extra interest costs the LBRA will face from having to borrow funds
from the City of Lansing.

7. Project Phase II: New Developer Brownfield Project Description
With Burton-Katzman no longer the Developer or owner of the Development, the lender who
foreclosed on the undeveloped and unfinished portion of the project has sought buyers to
complete the project. Fortunately, a Michigan based firm, Allen Edwin Homes (New
Developer) has contacted both the lender and City expressing interest in purchasing the portion
of the development yet to be completed and finishing the project. Allen Edwin Homes has
extensive experience in Michigan and has continued to build and sell homes even during the last
few years. Allen Edwin recognizes the potential of the development and is willing to take it on if
the brownfield redevelopment incentives can be made available to them. By working with the
City, Allen Edwin has modified the plan for completion of the East Village neighborhood. The
City Council has approved these modifications in the form of an amendment to the original
9
Developer's plan. The new amended plan will reduce the number of multiple family
buildings/units and increase the number of single family detached residential units, resulting in a
total reduction of the number of for sale owner occupied units in the development from 177 to
125. The amended plan is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Code and with
the objectives of the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan and the Boys Training School
Development Plan. The original plan represented a density of 7.5 units per acre. The current
amended plan will reduce the density to 5.3 units per acre, which is still well within the density
range being advanced in all of these documents. In fact, the proposal will actually make the
density of the subject property even more consistent with the density of the surrounding
residential areas which is approximately 6-7 dwelling units per acre.
The proposal will also be consistent with the report from the BTS Advisory Committee dated
April 3, 2003 which specifically recommended: "That the developer incorporate design
modifications recommended by the Committee that would enable more single family detached
homes to be constructed." At the time, housing market conditions did not support this
recommendation. However, the housing market has drastically changed and the New Developer
believes that single family detached condominiums are for more favorable to the current market
conditions than the multiple family condominiums that were originally proposed.

Allen Edwin is committing to:
• Finish and sell the existing vacant 10 units that were left by the previous developer.
• Conduct site prep and other Eligible Activities.
• Build one multi-unit building with 6 town home units in it.
• Build 48 single family detached homes over a five year period.
Total investment by Allen Edwin will be approximately $ 10,000,000

(MDNRE) and non-environmental (MEGA) is consistent with the initial ratio of expenditures
from the Bond Construction Fund as given Table 2. Item #6 in Table 4 gives the estimated new
Eligible Activities to be incurred by the New Developer. These costs are non-environmental and
thus will be reimbursed with a combination of captured Local and MEGA School Taxes.
11
Item #7 in Table 4 lists the expected administrative and legal cost to be incurred by the LBRA.
This amounts to 5% of the annual local capture. No school taxes will be used for LBRA
administration. Item #8 gives the expected amount of local taxes to be captured and deposited
in the LBRA Revolving Fund as allowed by Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act, 1996
PA 381, as amended. The LBRA is not planning to capture school taxes for deposit into the
LBRA Revolving Fund. The priority of allocation of captured taxes will be: 1. LBRA
Administration (local taxes only); 2. Bond Costs; 3. Developer Eligible Activities; and 4. LBRA
Revolving Fund (local taxes only).
9. Captured Taxable Value and Tax Increment Revenues
The LBRA is expected to capture the tax increment revenues from 2011 through 2024 which will
be generated by the increase in taxable value. The following table provides a summary of the
anticipated taxable value and the tax increment revenue which it will provide:
Table 5:
Tax Incremental Taxable Tax Increment
Year Value Revenue
2011 $4,692,235 $206,570
2012 $5,723,172 $223,292
2013 $6,272,612 $232,856
2014 $6,922,936 $243,936
2015 $7,473,328 $253,542
2016 $7,923,794 $261,674
2017 $8,003,032 $264,290
2018 $8,083,063 $266,933
2019 $8,163,893 $269,603
2020 $ 8,245,532 $235,187
2021 $8,327,988 $237,539
2022 $8,411,267 $239,914
2023 $8,495,380 $242,313
2024 $8,580,334 $244,736
Total $3,422,3 86
The captured incremental taxable value and associated tax increment revenue will be determined
by the City Assessor. The actual increased taxable value of the land and all future taxable
improvements on the Property may vary. Furthermore, the amount of tax increment revenue
available under this Plan will be based on the actual millage levied annually by each taxing
jurisdiction on the increase in tax value resulting from the redevelopment project that is eligible
and approved for capture. The New Developer may be eligible to apply for State of Michigan
for Brownfield Michigan Business Tax credits.
12
10. Method of Brownfield Plan Financing
The new Eligible Costs listed in Item #6 of Table 4 will be paid for by the New Developer. The
Developer will be reimbursed for these costs by the LBRA utilizing taxes captured from the
project. The current estimated amount of capture used to reimburse the Developer is $513,365.
Additionally, the LBRA is not obligated to reimburse the Developer for more than $513,365 of
total Eligible Activities during the life of this Plan. The LBRA is not obligated to reimburse any
New Developer Eligible Activities performed or conducted on the project site after December
31, 2012.
The LBRA will provide financing for its costs to implement and administer the Plan by utilizing
5% of the new local taxes captured per year for the duration of the Plan. This expense is noted in
Table 4 Item #7 above. No portion of captured school taxes will be used for LBRA
administration costs. The LBRA will also deposit up to $1,139,705 in local captured taxes into
its Revolving Fund.
11. Amount of Note or Bonded Indebtedness Incurred
As was noted above, the LBRA has existing outstanding debt for this brownfield project. The
total estimated amount of debt is $1,613,343 and will be paid back with a combination of local
and school taxes. Table 4 lists these costs in more detail in items #1 through #5.
12. Duration of the Brownfield Plan
Unless amended by the Lansing City Council, the Plan is anticipated to remain in effect until all
approved activities in this plan are covered or the year 2034, whichever occurs first.
13. Estimated Impact on Taxing Jurisdictions
The following table presents a summary of the new tax revenues generated by the taxing
jurisdictions whose millage is subject to capture by the LBRA under this Plan.

INVENTORY

the information contained in the nomination.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
The district consists of slightly less than a four-and-a-half-acre parcel located on the east side of Marshall Street,
south of Saginaw Avenue. The two-story, red-brick, Tudor Revival inspired Lansing Artillery Michigan National
Guard Armory is located northeast of downtown Lansing on the north edge of a residential neighborhood. The
large rectangular shaped building is on elevated ground with a raised basement. The building has limestone trim
and ornamentation throughout. The main entrance is accessed by a central stair and features a carved stone
eagle resting on a Tudor arch above the front door. A stone panel with a carving of crossed cannons is centered
in the crenellated parapet wall. The building was constructed in 1924 and designed by Lynn W. Fry. A 1941
renovation was designed by Lansing architects Lee Black and Kenneth C. Black. The renovation was minor and
included some alterations to the basement as well adding a gravel drive and concrete loading area to the east
side of the site. The property originally contained a riding hall, several storage buildings and a vehicle storage
building (1941) north of the existing building which have all been demolished.
To the north and west of the property are the athletic fields, parking lots and grounds of the Pattengill Middle
School and the Lansing Catholic Central High School. The armory building faces south on a small park separating
it from the adjacent residential neighborhood. The small park in front of the building is a flat grassy area with a
few small trees. It contains a circular asphalt drive bisected by a concrete walkway with a flagpole in the center.
The asphalt drive that enters from Marshall Street leads to an asphalt paved parking lot on the west side of the
building, past the front and to the east side where there is a gravel parking area. The site is generally flat except
for where the ground cuts away with concrete retaining walls on the north and east sides giving access to the
basement level. The rear two-third of the building is surrounded by a chain link fence. Overgrown shrubs are
located in front of the building. A concrete ramp with metal railing runs along the west half of the front of the
building to access the front doors.
The building plan is typical of that for armories of the period, with a two-story headhouse or administration area
in the front and a two-story drill hall behind. The drill hall has one-story wings running along both sides. The
front section and drill hall have gable roofs, the wings flat roofs.
The symmetrical facade has a central projecting entrance bay flanked by three bays on each side. The entrance
bay contains a set of three aluminum and glass doors, with arched top transoms, below a stone Tudor arch
resting on brick piers. A carved stone eagle with spread wings is perched over the center of the arch. The
second floor contains three single windows topped by a large stone band. There is a square stone medallion
with a crossed cannon relief in the center of the gable parapet. The entrance bay is flanked by heavy brick piers
which step back and have center spikes at the tops. The entire bay is capped by stone coping and trim along the
top of the wall.
The three bays on both sides of the entrance are divided by brick piers, and have pairs of aluminum windows at
the first and second floor. The wide stone band above the second floor contains blind shallow arches above the
window bays. The entire wall is topped by a brick parapet wall with stone coping and a crenel in the center of
each bay.
The front section of the building is three bays deep, the bays separated by brick piers, and containing aluminum
windows at the first and second floors. The heavy stone band continues from the front of the building at the top
of the second floor windows. The gable parapets are capped with stone trim.
The east and west sides of the building are each seven bays long, the bays again divided by brick piers that
continue in the taller drill hall wall which is set back. Each bay at the first and second levels contains a set of
three aluminum windows except the bay at the rear which has two aluminum windows. The lower and upper
2
walls are capped with limestone trim, and the upper wall has a crenel in the center of each bay. The west side
basement level is not above ground, and has a pair of solid metal doors and concrete loading dock toward the
rear of the building. The east side basement level is at ground level and each bay contains a single metal door
beside a pair of aluminum windows in each bay.
The rear of the building is divided into three sections. The center section is not quite two stories tall and
contains no openings except for an overhead rolling garage door in the center at ground level. The west third
has a higher ground level and has a set of double doors and two aluminum windows at the first floor level. A tall
brick chimney rises above this section. The east third is at the lower level and has a single door and two
windows at ground level with three single aluminum windows above at the first floor. All of the sections have
stone coping at the roof line.
INTERIOR FEATURES
The front doors lead to an interior set of decorative wood doors entering a main lobby that has quarry tile
floors, painted glazed block walls and a plaster ceiling. The east side of the lobby accesses the metal stair
leading to the basement and second floor. It also leads to the officers' club in the front of the building which has
been remodeled with carpeted floors, painted glazed block walls and a tile ceiling. The west side of the lobby
leads to a double-loaded corridor containing offices and restrooms. To the north of the lobby two sets of wood
paneled double-doors lead to the drill hall. It has a wood floor that is painted for basketball and the center of
the court has the double-crossed cannon motif. There is a stage at the north end of the hall, while the west side
of the hall has walls between columns. The truss ceiling currently supports a suspended acoustical tile ceiling.
The tile ceiling and present stage configuration are not original or significant and occurred sometime after the
1941 renovation. The north end of the hall leads to a kitchen, the backstage area, and a metal stair leading to
the basement level.
The second floor has a central lobby with windows overlooking the drill hall and a wood and glass skylight in the
center. Double-loaded corridors branch off each side of the lobby. The corridors contain offices, a movie

HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT
The Michigan National Guard
The Michigan National Guard had its beginnings as a territorial volunteer militia which was based on the model
of the militias in other areas of the United States, operating as a community based defense (Mannik & Smith
2009, 5-1). Territorial laws enacted in 1787 and 1792 applied to Michigan when it became part of the Northwest
Territory in 1796. These early laws required male citizens between the ages of 18 and 45 to serve in the military
and provide their own firearms, ammunition and equipment. After Michigan became a separate territory in
1805 it enacted its own militia law which required all males between the ages of 14 and 50 to serve, and allowed
the territorial governor to organize the troops, appoint officers, set training days, and direct other related
routine activities (CCRG 1996, 6).
The territorial militia was called to official duty three times before Michigan became a state in 1837. The first
was during the War of 1812 during the ill-fated invasion of Upper Canada. Two hundred men participated under
then governor William Hull, who ended up surrendering his troops to the British with their capture of Detroit
(Mannik & Smith 2009, 5-1). Michigan militia were also involved with the second battle of Frenchtown in
January 1813. The second call to service was in 1832 during the Black Hawk War when troops were ordered to
Iowa to assist. However, the troops were quickly recalled when it became apparent they were not needed. The
Toledo War of 1835 also brought the troops into service, but without combat when the boundary dispute
between the Michigan Territory and the State of Ohio ended peacefully.
4
During the Patriot War of 1838 State of Michigan militia were assigned to guard the U.S. arsenal at Fort
Dearborn from Michigan sympathizers who plotted to steal arms for a Canadian effort to fight English crown
appointed administrators. In 1839 the Michigan legislature enacted a law that created a brigade called the State
Guards for defense of the state. In 1846 the United States government requested specific numbers of troops
from each state to aid in the Mexican War. The First Michigan Volunteers went into service for six months but
never saw battle in Vera Cruz where they were stationed (ibid, 5-2).
Between 1848 and 1861 few men were interested in volunteering for the state militia and the annual tax was
abolished in 1848. However in 1859 the state created the State Military Board and appropriated three thousand
dollars annually for the militia and required a four-day encampment each year (ibid., 5-2).
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Michigan men answered the call to serve in the militia. Initially the First
Regiment was organized and was the first group from west of the Alleghenies to reach Virginia. By the end of
1861 Michigan had sent 16,475 men to the front while others guarded Michigan from Canadian sympathizers.
In 1863 a national draft was instituted and by the end of the war 90,747 men from Michigan had served (CCRG
1996, 8).
The enthusiasm for military service was short-lived. By 1870 only three militia companies operated in the state.
The legislature officially organized volunteer companies called the Michigan State Troops. This resulted in an
increase in service; by 1876 the full contingent allowed by law of twenty-four companies had been organized.
State militias across the country were called out in response to labor unrest in the 1880s and 90s, which also
resulted in changes to military law in Michigan and other states. Beginning in 1891 the Michigan State Troops
were called the Michigan National Guard and they joined the Interstate Guard Association which later was
absorbed into the National Guard Association. Both organizations emphasized their separation from the regular
military.
The Spanish-American War brought a call for volunteer militia members; however, only individuals could
volunteer, not entire units. The Michigan men that volunteered were organized into four Michigan Volunteer
Infantry regiments, two of which saw combat in Cuba (Mannik and Smith 2009, 5-3).
In 1903 the United States government passed the Dick Bill, named for the president of the National Guard
Association, Major General Charles Dick. This legislation provided an annual federal appropriation of four
million dollars for state militias and provided the units with standard military weapons and uniforms and pay for
members called to active duty. In turn the units were required to have twenty-four drill days and a five-day
summer encampment each year. Regular Army officers were assigned to help train the units and new types of
units were formed including medical, engineer, and signal companies. This law also required the President of
the United States to call National Guard members into active service before other volunteers, but did not allow
for the units to remain organizationally intact when brought into service with the larger armed forces. Members
were called individually into federal service and put into the federal organizational structure. At the state level
the units remained intact when called by their respective governors.
The federal attention to the National Guard spurred the Michigan legislature to completely reorganize the
Michigan National Guard in 1905 from three infantry units to one engineering company, one signal company,
5
one battery of field artillery and one calvary troop. At this time the First Battery, Field Artillery was organized
with detachments in Lansing, Pontiac and Mason. This did not work and it was quickly changed to have three
sections stationed in Lansing and one in Mason. The Pontiac unit was changed to an engineering company.
In 1909 the Michigan legislature invested heavily into the Michigan National Guard by creating an on-going
annual appropriation to pay for attendance at drills, and for the construction and purchase of armories. This
reliable source of money allowed for the design and construction of armories around the state. The armory
appropriation was thirty thousand dollars per year and was deposited into the armory building fund. By 1940
this yearly investment provided for the construction or purchase of thirty-five armories across the state. Prior to
1909 all costs associated with the armories fell to the local community and unit. The passage of the 1909 law
gave control of the design, bidding, construction and maintenance of armories to the State Military Board, with
the costs for an armory initially limited to fifteen thousand dollars per company occupying the armory. The
same costs were allowed for purchasing existing armories if they did not exceed the value of the building and
land. For new armories, land was to be provided to the state at no cost, and the 1909 act allowed the state to
condemn property to construct armories, and required that the land be owned and managed by the state and
not subject to any taxes. Costs exceeding those allowed by the state could be covered by the local municipality
and the money was required to be deposited with the state before construction could begin.
The state's use for its National Guard units to control labor unrest was not limited to the last two decades of the
1800s. In 1913 and 1914 three thousand troops were called to the Upper Peninsula during the copper mine
strikes. At the request of the mining companies the governor called the troops to "restore order and protect
property." The reality was the Guard was being used to oppose organize labor that had initiated the strikes, a
low-point in Guard history and a carry-over from the earlier use of the Guard during labor strikes in the late
1800s.
The 1916 National Defense Act established the Reserve Corps, which were free of any state ties. The National
Guard was made an integral part of the U.S. Army when in federal service, but at the same time the Guard was
still part of the organized militia when activated through individual governors. The President gained the power
to draft individual Guardsmen for federal duty, and the law increased annual training days to forty-eight plus
fifteen days of annual summer camp. In June 1916 the Michigan National Guard was called into federal service
for the Mexican Border Campaign. Three infantry regiments served until November, and upon returning to
Michigan the 33 rd Michigan Infantry was repositioned to guard sensitive sites in Michigan, including Camp
Custer.
In July 1917 all units of the Michigan National Guard were called into service for World War I. The 32 nd Division
was comprised of troops from Michigan and Wisconsin. The 32 nd Division was sent to France in February 1918
and was among the first American troops to enter Germany during the Marnes ' offensive. Serving until the
armistice in November 1918 the Division lost over 14,000 men, which ranked it third among U.S. Army units in
total number of battle deaths (Mannik and Smith 2009, 5-3, 5-4).
With the ending of World War I the contracts of the members of the National Guard that had been drafted into
federal service ended and Michigan was essentially left without any National Guard members. In 1920 federal
and state laws created another major reorganization of the Michigan National Guard which took two years to
6
complete. The federal law allowed for the World War I organizational structure to be re-created as closely as
possible in the states.
The 1920s and 1930s allowed Michigan National Guard units time for training and education, and armories
served as public gathering spaces in local communities. The Army offered special services school and extension
courses, and Michigan men used the entire quota allotted.
The Depression increased the membership in the National Guard because of the severe unemployment and the
ability to earn money by participating in drills from money provided through New Deal programs (ibid., 5-4). In
1933 an amendment to the National Defense Act made the National Guard part of the United States ' permanent
military force and required units to be called intact to federal service.
In 1937 Michigan Governor Frank Murphy ordered the Guard to Flint to keep peace during the Flint Sit-Down
strike at a number of General Motor's plants. The role of the Guard was much different than during the cooper
mine strikes in the Upper Peninsula. The governor refused to use the Guard to remove the strikers from the
factories, and instead insisted that the conflict be resolved peacefully through negotiations between General
Motors and the union organizers. The Guard were sent to Flint in early-January and remained in place until late-
February. The Guard was led by Colonel Joseph H. Lewis, the commander of the 119 th Field Artillery. Colonel
Lewis was in constant communication with Governor Murphy and both men went to great lengths to keep the
Guard in the background with instruction only to step in when the local officials were not able to keep control.
This eventually happened on February 1 when the Guard surrounded two plants to protect the strikers as well as
police. Guard members were under strict orders to set aside any personal feelings about the situation and the
Guard successfully prevented any bloodshed or destruction of property. "At least part of the credit for the
peaceful outcome of the Flint strike must be accorded the Michigan National Guard" (Fine n.d., 319).
In response to military build-up in Europe the entire National Guard was federalized in 1940. This resulted in a
reorganization statewide which included changing and adding units. In October 1940 the entire Michigan
nd
National Guard was ordered into federal service and sent for training. The 32 Division served in the European
and Pacific fronts and had the distinction of the longest service of any American division (CCRG 1996, 10).
Post World War II the Michigan National Guard was again reorganized into state units, with Michigan having 121
units organized between 1946 and 1948, which contained triple the number of men authorized before the war.
Since no armories had been constructed in the state since 1930 (the Detroit Artillery armory was constructed as
the Vicker' s War Plant in 1942-44 and was acquired by the Guard in 1948), most armory facilities were deficient.
In 1950 an amendment to the National Defense Act called the Armories Construction Bill provided for federal
funding for additions and alterations to existing armories. The program was not fully funded initially and
emphasized a seventy-five percent federal to twenty-five percent state match for construction. Four
standardized armory plans, designed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were circulated nationwide (Mannik
and Smith 2009, 5-6).
Michigan National Guard units were called into federal service during the Korean Conflict and the 1961 Cuban
Missile Crisis but not the Vietnam War. The Korean Conflict again emphasized the lack of armory facilities and
states were encouraged to undertake a building program as the buildings could also be used for civil defense
and disaster relief (ibid.).
7
Within Michigan the Guard was called on to suppress riots in Benton Harbor in 1966 and in Detroit in 1967 and
1968. More recently the Guard has aided with natural disaster relief such as the Seney Forest Fire in 1976, the
blizzard of 1978, the Kalamazoo tornado in 1980, and winter storms in the Upper Peninsula in 1995. Some
members were deployed in the Persian Gulf Conflict in the early 1990s, as well as for peace-keeping missions in
Haiti, Bosnia, Panama and Yugoslavia. Since 2001 troops have aided Homeland Security at commercial airports
and international border crossings as required (ibid.).
The Michigan National Guard in Lansing
Lansing's first military company was founded after the Civil War and when the State of Michigan officially
organized the volunteer Michigan State Troops. On March 17, 1876, Colonel D. Henry McComas organized
ninety-seven recruits, including some from two independent military companies, who adopted bylaws and a
constitution based on the Detroit Light Infantry. Calling themselves the Lansing Light Guards or Company H of
the First Regiment (later changed to Company E), the group had their first annual encampment in Jackson in
August, 1876. The first armory for the group was in the building that became the Lansing Business University as
of 1887 (Souvenir Governor's Guards 1896, 5-7).
In 1878 the group changed their name to the "Governor ' s Guards" and in 1880 they attended the encampment
of the first brigade of the state troops at Camp Chandler. In 1887 they moved to new quarters on Capitol
Avenue where they remained until sometime between 1896 and 1898. In the 1898 Lansing City Directory
Armory Hall is listed as being located at 109-113 East Ottawa. A short history of the unit lists them as "now in
31st Rgmt. M.V.I. " as a provisional company, with drills every Thursday evening and business meetings the first
Monday of each month. It lists the "Armory, north side Ottawa Street, Sanford block, second floor, between
Grand Street and Washington Avenue. "
The Lansing unit was called twice to assist with labor and civil unrest in the 1880s and 90s. In 1881 the unit
reported to Muskegon to quell a riot, which was done without incident. In 1894 the unit was called to the
armory to be ready to deploy to Battle Creek. After spending a day at the armory the unit was not needed and
the men were allowed to return to their normal routine, with the exception of orders not to leave the city.
On May 17, 1905, a second Lansing unit was organized, Battery A, First Field Artillery. The 1908 Lansing City
Directory lists Battery A, First Field Artillery, in an armory at 319 S. Capitol Avenue. Company E of the 2nd
Infantry is still listed at their armory at 115 East Ottawa Street. By the 1912 directory, Company E is no longer
listed, but First Battalion Field Artillery, Lansing, is listed with two batteries, Battery A founded March 17, 1905,
and Battery B founded November 6, 1911, both at the Artillery Armory at 319 S. Capitol. Later histories suggest
that Company E was reorganized into the new units in Lansing.
It appears that the armories for the initial and later Lansing military units were rented facilities, even though the
armory building fund shows "Appropriations Undrawn " in the amount of $45,000 for Lansing with the
appropriation available as of July 1, 1917. The State Military Board meeting minutes of August 20, 1919, contain
the following: "The matter of continuing the lease of the Lansing Armory was introduced and discussed. Motion
by Major Rogers that a new lease be entered into for the Lansing Armory at $1800 per annum with privilege of
renewal for one year. Unanimously carried. " The minutes of December 5, 1920 read, "Motion that annual
8
armory allowance of the Lansing Armory (field artillery) be fixed at $2500 per annum. " It is assumed that these
rents were for the facility on South Capitol as the city directories list the building as the armory through 1925.
nd
The reorganization of the Michigan National Guard started in 1920 created the 32 Division, and the Lansing
unit was designated the 119th Field Artillery. It received federal recognition in February 1922, was designated as
horse-drawn 75 mm, and was made up of all of the previous Lansing units and others. Even though money was
appropriated in 1917, the new riding hall for the 119th Field Artillery was not constructed until 1922. The delay
presumably resulted from World War I and post-war recruitment and reorganization. Designed by state
architect Lynn W. Fry, the large brick and glass structure had a large open riding floor and storage for
equipment. It was located north of the present day armory, but was demolished circa 2000. In 1924 the
present armory building was constructed on the property. Also designed by Lynn W. Fry, the two-story brick
building contained a drill hall, storage, and offices for the unit as well as room for recreation and social
gatherings, including an officer's club. The armory was built during a seventeen year period when Michigan
constructed ten armories around the state. At least five of these ten armories were designed by Fry.
During peacetime in the 1920s and 1930s the Lansing armory was used for weddings, boxing matches and
community gatherings. It filled a typical role of armories in smaller Michigan communities. The drill hall was
large enough to accommodate large groups of people, and the facilities were often rented out. This tradition
continued at the Lansing armory at least through 1995 when the Michigan Antique Radio Club leased the facility
for swap meets.
In 1933 the 119th Field Artillery was converted to a truck-drawn 75mm unit. In 1940 the 119th Field Artillery
nd
retained its designation, but was slightly reorganized, changed to a 115-mm gun unit, and transferred to the 72
Field Artillery Brigade, Corps Auxiliary. In 1941 Lee Black and Kenneth C. Black, architects of Lansing designed
modifications to the grounds, riding hall and basement of the armory and designed a vehicle storage facility
(demolished).
Lynn Ward Fry (1894-1967)
The Lansing Armory exhibits a similar form and design as four other armories that were designed by Lynn W. Fry
between 1921 and 1925. These include Adrian (1925), Charlotte (1924), Flint (1924), and Holland (1924). The
Flint armory has a nearly identical design and layout to Lansing. Other similar armories - all constructed after
the passage of the 1909 law establishing the armory building fund, include Ann Arbor (1911), Coldwater (1917-
18/1921), Monroe (1926-28), Owosso (1915) and South Haven (1922).
Born in Grand Rapids, Fry received his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Michigan in 1917. He
served in World War I as a Second Lieutenant in the artillery in France where he was wounded and eventually
trained with the French calvary. Upon returning to Michigan Fry worked in Detroit with Van Leyen-Schilling-
Keough and Reynolds from 1919 until 1921 when he was appointed the State Architect for Michigan. It was
during this time that Fry designed armories in Adrian, Charlotte, Flint, Holland, Lansing and the re-build of the
Coldwater armory. He also designed prisons for the state.
When his appointment ended in 1925 he set up his own practice with Paul Kasurin in Ann Arbor. The firm lasted
until 1942 and designed the First National Bank Building in Ann Arbor, the Traverse City Main Sewage Pumping
9
Station building, the Old Waterworks plant in Detroit, the original Munson Hospital in Traverse City, and Slauson
Junior High School in Ann Arbor.
Beginning in 1942 Fry began working for the University of Michigan, first as the Director of Plant Extension, then
as university architect in 1945. As university architect Fry was responsible for development of the north campus
and hired a number of notable firms to design university buildings including Harley Ellington, Albert Kahn, Eero
Saarinen, Holabird and Root, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, Giffels and Valet and Minoru Yamasaki. He retired
from the University in 1964 and died in Ann Arbor in 1967 at the age of 73 (CCRG 1996 19-20).
SIGNIFICANCE
National Register Criteria A and C are applicable to the proposed Marshall Street Armory Historic District.
The period of significance for the district is from 1924 until 1960 which is the time the building was
completed until 1960. It ceased being used as an armory in 2005.
The National Register Criteria

The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is
present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design,
setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and:
A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of
our history;
The Lansing Artillery Michigan National Guard Armory is significant at the local level under criterion A for its role
in the military defense of Michigan and for its role in hosting local Lansing events;
C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent
the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable
entity whose components may lack individual distinction.
As a notable example of armory design in Michigan and one of a number of surviving National Guard armories
built across Michigan in the early twentieth century as part of a statewide armory building program. It was
designed by architect Lynn W. Fry, State Architect from 1921 until 1925, and is one of five Michigan armories
designed by him.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the study committee finds that the Marshall Street Armory located at 330 Marshall Street meets
the criteria of the National Register of Historic Places and should be designated as a single resource local historic
district. The armory is significant at the local level under criterion A for its role in the military defense of
Michigan and for its role in hosting local Lansing events; and under criterion C as a notable example of armory
design in Michigan and one of a number of surviving National Guard armories built across Michigan in the early
twentieth century as part of a statewide armory building program. It was designed by architect Lynn W. Fry,
State Architect from 1921 until 1925, and is one of five Michigan armories designed by him.

re: Ordinance to Authorize Issuance of

Sewage Disposal System Revenue Refunding Bonds
Dear Jerry:
Last week we sent you an ordinance to authorize issuance of Sewage Disposal

System Revenue Refunding Bonds for presentation to City Council. Although the
ordinance is called an ordinance under the Revenue Bond Act, it is not an ordinance in
the usual sense. The Revenue Bond Act (Act 94) has special provisions relating to
approval of the bond authorizing ordinance.
• The City Council may adopt the ordinance under Act 94 at the meeting at which it
is introduced regardless of the City's usual procedures for enacting ordinances.
® The ordinance must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of Council's

elected members.
• The ordinance shall become effective upon its adoption.
® The requirements of Act 94 are the sole requirements and shall not be limited by a
charter or statutory provisions, except that adoption is subject to provisions
permitting approval or disapproval of the chief executive or other officer of the
City and the adoption of the ordinance over his or her veto.
MILLER, CAN.1 I:ELD, PADDOCK AND STONE, r.t,.c.
Gerald W. Ambrose -2- December 7, 201
After adoption of the Ordinance and prior to delivery of the Sewer Refunding
Bonds the ordinance will need to be published once in the local newspaper. Section 20 of
the Ordinance provides for publication in the City Pulse. There are no size requirements:
they can use small print in order to minimize the cost of publication.
Please let me know if you have questions or if you need further information.
Very tt my yours,
MILLER, C NFI LD PAD OCK AND STONE, P.L.C.

Subject: 800 Baker
Dear City Council;
Lansing City Council responded to the request of our community when we first became aware of the
beer and wine license for 800 Baker. At that time both the Neighborhood Watch and Baker/Donora
Focus Center opposed this license and the City Council sent a letter to Liquor Control expressing our
issues.
Since that letter we have had the opportunity to meet with representatives of the lease holder and
reach a "Community Agreement". We are pleased that because of the actions of the Council it allowed
us to express our concerns and work out a solution that best suits our community.
We are requesting the Council send a letter on Monday to Liquor Control withdrawing their concerns
and allow the applicant to receive their license.
Our goal is to monitor this location and continue to work with lease holder to achieve the best results
for our neighborhood. We will keep you apprised of the situation.
r c'e
Again, thank you for your help in achieving success for our neighborhood.
Sincerely,
mad(
