Asst. Public Health Engineer, Division of Engineering, Wayne County Department

819 Farwell Building, Detroit and Donald Deremo were present.
Mr. Harsha stated he did not believe any name had been assigned to the North-
South road as shown on proposed subdivision plat. It is complete surprise
that petitioners wish to use septic tanks and that he would like more infor-
mation as to how present adjoining subdivision, Helman Park Subdivision, is
serviced and whether or not they are satisfactory in all cases.
Mr. Deremo stated he asked the Building Inspector about septic tanks in
Helman Park Subdivision and that he was informed that they have worked out
most favorably and that they have not had one single complaint. Client does
intend to use septic tanks if at all possible. Stated North-South street
should be named Southhampton.
Mr. Greene asked whether Commission didn't have an understanding that
developers would not use septic tanks on anything less than 100' lots.
Mr. Robinson stated that that has been the procedure and believed that
Commission has been successful in holding developers to the minimum. Stated
lots in adjoining subdivision are 75' and 80'.
3
Mr. Deremo stated the soil is favorable to the installation of septic tanks
On the day the test was made there had been a heavy rain and that some of
the tests were made in the rain..:
Mr. Walker questioned lots mentioned in letter from Department of Health as
not being suitable for septic tanks. Mr. Deremo stated he would be pleased to
have lots as mentioned excepted from the proposed plat until such time as they
are tested out as proper.
Mr. Harsha stated petition would have to be amended accordingly.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Lotz, seconded by Mr. Kane and unanimously
carried, it was
#12-397-56 RESOLVED that, City Planning Commission grant verbal
request by Donald C. Deremo, Attorney for M & S
Builders, Inc. to amend proposed Gordon & Scheurman
Subdivision located in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 9

The Chairman declared the foregoing resolution adopted.

Mr. Greene stated he would like more information about area on the corner of
Farmington, Seven Mile, Curtis and Stamford Roads which are 50' lots.
Mr. Lotz stated there are septic tanks installed in that area and that on his
lot the operation of the tank is satisfactory. Own two lots and that the
tank is on the empty lot. There isn't a house on every lot in area.
Mr. Greene stated that if there was a house on every lot there would be
trouble. Didn't like to see precedent started where there will be trouble.
Mr. Steinhoff stated water level has been very low in the past two years.
Mr. Robinson stated area is not too densely populated now.
Mr. Lotz stated that when he contacted State about digging a well he was
informed that area is good and that there is a high water table.
Mr. L. E. Landes, 18311 Norwich (Owner of Lot in Helman Park Subdivision)
stated he has been in home since May 31, 1956 and that he has had consider—
able trouble with the septic tank. Reports have been made with Inspection
Department, City Engineer and Board of Health and all have stated that they
are investigating matter. Live on West side of Norwich and the houses on the
West side are not served by a storm sewer on the rear of the lot line. This
spring it was found that area was particularly marshy to the extent that
building was held up for a considerable length of time. From the time frost
left the ground to the middle of June it was not satisfactory to build even
a garage. All the people on that side of the road have expressed concern about
last spring and the one coming. Do not know what is proposed for sewers in
this proposed subdivision.
Mr. Robinson asked Mr. Landes whether he has a storm sewer in front of his
home. Mr. Landes stated that there are storm sewers on Norwich. Understand
that there are not enough openings in the street and that the City Engineer
has asked builders to install three more so that there is not a water problem
on Norwich. On the East side of Norwich and West of Whitby there is a storm
sewer between these houses.
Mr. Richard Pittman, 34715 Seven Mile Road asked whether Gill Road would be
paved. Mr. Robinson stated half of Gill Road would be paved by the developers.
Mr. Pittman stated he owns 1,095'. Mr. Deremo stated his client didn't intend
to pave both sides of Gill Road and that that is all they are required to pave
under the Ordinance.
Mr. Edward Summerville, 34325 Seven Mile Road asked to examine plat.
Mr. Landes asked size of lots, number of lots, type of home and whether trees
will be left. Mr. Deremo stated lots are 75' to 100' (mostly 75' to 85')
approximately 78 lots and homes will compare with those in Helman Park Sub—
division. Some of the trees will be left but some will have to be removed.
Mr. Harsha stated there is no way Commission or City can protest property
owners against developers coming in and stripping trees. This is done by
most of the developers and will continue.
472
Mr. Landes asked the name of the school children will attend. Mr. Lotz
stated children will attend Pierson, Riley Jr. High and Bentley High Schools.
Mr. Landes asked if Commission has had any communication from School District.
Mr. Ward McCain, President, Livonia School Board stated that there is a school
site designated in Section 9 South of Curtis and Gill Roads. Stated Board
has authorized attorney to negotiate for site and that a school will be con-
structed if there are sewers available. With proposed subdivision an eight or
ten room school could be used in area.
Mr. Summerville stated he has a deed to the 43' designated for road into
subdivision. Asked what is being done about the 43'.
Mr. Deremo stated he has never examined abstract, and that the attorney that
did examine abstract is not present tonight.
Mr. Harsha stated that unless petitiOner has made some deal with Mr. Summer-
ville they do not have access to the North of Subdivision.
Mr. Summerville stated 43' was reserved for the road but wasn't acquired.
Mr. Kane stated the West half of Gill Road is dedicated.
Mr. Robinson stated petitioner's will have to acquire property from Mr. Summer-
ville.
Mr. Greene asked Mr. McCain if sewers are not available and school is not
built what the result would be. Mr. McCain stated proposed subdivision will
do a lot of damage to Pierson School. 3
Mr. David Walker, 18500 Laurel asked if half of Gill Road is paved would
there be any charge to the adjoining property owners on the West side of
Gill Road. Mr. Robinson stated there would not be a charge.
Mr. Pittman stated his understanding is that Gill Road is a County Road and
asked why it should be opened just for a subdivider - why just half.
Mr. Robineon stated that that is all that is required by City Ordinance.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Greene, seconded by Mr. Steinhoff and
unanimously carried, it was
#12-398-56 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held
the City Planning Commission does hereby deny approval to
preliminary plat of Gordon & Scheurman Subdivision as amended
by Resolution No. 12-397-56 located on the Southeast corner

The secretary announced that the next item on the agenda was Petition No.
Z-174 by George D. Seyburn, East Detroit Housing, Inc. requesting that the
zoning classification of Parcel 16I1a located on the Southwest 1/4 of Section
16 be changed from AG-13 to R-1-A. The secretary read letters dated July 27,
1956 and September 10, 1956 from W. R. McCary, City Engineer and Dave Mein-
zinger, Director of Public Works and dated October 19, 1956 from Christoper J.
Mullet, Wayne County Drain Commissioner addressed to Mr. Herald F. Hamill,
Engineer. Messrs. John Newell and Arthur H. Reynolds were present.
Mr. William Clark, 15951 Stanford stated Items No. 4 and No. 6 as shown on
the agenda are the same problem as far as residents of Coventry Gardens are
concerned.
474
Mrs. Edith Allen, 15450 Surrey asked size of proposed home. Mr. Robinson
stated in R-1-A. District homes will have to be 1,000 square feet or more.
The secretary read letter dated September 10, 1956 from Lola Davis, Coventry
Gardens Improvement Association.
Mr. Robinson stated Coventry Gardens Subdivision is presently zoned R-1-B.
Mr. Robert Seelye, 33639 NorthHampshire suggested Commission investigate
initiating a classification in which there would be 100? lots before this
petition is considered tonight. Originally Coventry Gardens Subdivision was
set up in 50? lots and that at the time of zoning ordinance R-1 was to cover
these homes. At the present time, most of the homes are on 1001 lots rather
than 50? lots as platted. Referred to Section 17.05 (c), Zoning Ordinance,
No. 60 and stated that inasmuch as Coventry Gardens Subdivision is one of the
nicer subdivisions in the City that the Commission would be wise to consider
a new type of zoning for areas such as Coventry.
Mr. Harsha stated area map as submitted by petitioner with proposed Bell
Valley Subdivision shows 50' lots. Maybe residents have purchased two lots
but that along West boundary of subdivision the lots are 50' wide.
Mr. Clark stated he did not think Commissioners would find any homes built on
50' lots in this area.
Mr. Harsha stated lots are platted in 50' lots and that to his knowledge sub-
division has not been replatted. Mr. Clark stated that the building
restrictions in the City of Livonia stated 90' lots.
Mr. Robinson asked whether subdivision has been replatted. Mr. Seelye stated
subdivision has not been replatted.
Mr. Robinson stated petitioners do not have to build a home on every lot
the same as residents in Coventry Gardens have done. Thought Mr. Seelye
had a very good point in that Commission should consider RU zoning in this
area.
Mr. Glen Peterson, 34024 LaMoyne stated that the zoning was not changed in
Coventry Gardens Subdivision although the building restrictions were changed.
Building restrictions are on record at Wayne County.
Mr. Harsha asked who put restrictions on land. Mr. Robinson stated that the
property owners in Coventry Gardens put restrictions on land. The owner of
the property is the only person who can put restrictions on land.
Mr. Peterson stated that the restrictions were approved by enough of the
property owners in order to put restrictions on record.
M . Clark submitted letter from Mayor Brashear dated September 19, 1956
adressed to himself. The secretary read letter as submitted by Mr. Clark.
Mr. Walker stated that the street layout in proposed Bell Valley Subdivision
is very similar to that in Coventry Gardens Subdivision. Also many of the
lots are much larger than 60+.
1,40
4�� �
Mr. Harsha stated a number of the lots are only 581 frontage and questioned
whether some of the other lots are even 72,000 square feet. As Chairman of
the Plat Committee could not give his approval to plat.
Mr. Robinson stated that Commission is concerned with whether or not the
zoning as requested is proper in this area and is not considering that proposed
plat at this time.
Mr. Hugh Shannon, 34465 Five M;le Road asked the difference between R-1-A
and R-1-B. Mr. Robinson explained to Mr. Shannon that the only difference
is the size of the home.
Mr. Shannon stated area is very low. Mr. Robinson stated that the elevation
would be considered at the time the plat is considered.
Mr. Seelye stated residents in Coventry Gardens SubdiviL sion would like this
area be rezoned RU rather than R-1.
Mr. Robinson agreed with Mr. Seelye inasmuch as area is flood plain area.
Mr. Harsha stated until Commission has a more complete study of the drainage
could not see how action could be taken.
Mr. Reynolds referred to letter from Wayne County Department of Health.
Mr. Harsha stated he has not seen anything definite.
Mr. Robinson stated City Engineer has requ sted a statement from a responsible
engineer as to whether or not the proposed adjacent to the Gates Drain
would be above high water level. Mr. Newell submitted letter dated October 25,
1956 from Herald F. Hamill, Registered Engineer addressed to Seyburn & Berry.
The secretary read letter as submitted by Mr. Newell.
Mr. Reynold stated that they intend to enclose drain and convert it into the
Patter Drain. At the present time it goes through Coventry Gardens Sub-
division.
Mr. Robinson stated that regardless whether drain is tiled or not, it will
flow over.
Mr. Reynold stated 48" tile would be adequate to keep it from flooding as has
been stated by Messrs. Herald Hamill and W. R. McCary.
Mr. Harsha asked whether there was any possibility of splitting proposed
request and voting on South section of land only. Mr. Robinson stated he
believed request would be in order.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Greene and seconded by Mr. Steinhoff, it was
#12-400-56 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held
July 10, 1956 on Petition No. Z-174 as submitted by George D.
Seyburn, East Detroit Housing, Inc. for a change of zoning in
the Southwest 1/4 of Section 16 from AG-B to R-1-A the City
Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council
476
that Petition No. Z-174 be denied because Coventry Gardens
Subdivision is one of the nicer areas in the City of
Livonia and Commission should protect adjoining areas and
Commission would like to see area rezoned to RU, and
FURTHER RESOLVED, notice of the above hearing was published
in the official newspaper, The Livonian under date of
June 21, 1956 and notice of which hearing was sent to the
Detroit Edison Company, Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company,

The Chairman called the Public Hearing to order at approximately 9:45 p.m.

*Mr. H. Paul Harsha who was excused.
The secretary announced that the next item on the agenda was Application TA21
by Harold H. Gordon, Alby Development Company requesting permission to remove
topsoil from the North 1/2 of Parcel 24BB located South of proposed Lyndon
Street, North of Schoolcraft Road, between Middlebelt Road and SlavikYs Buck—
ingham Village Subdivision in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 24. The secretary

Works and dated November 30, 1956 from A. Morgan Johnson, President, Civil
Engineers, Inc. Messrs. Louis Begin and Harold Gordon were present.
**Mr. Robert L. Miller arrived at approximately 9:50 p.m.
Mr. Walker, Chairman of the Topsoil Committee stated Commission has not
received communication from the Police Department as required by Ordinance
No. 60. Stated he is dissatisfied with survey presented as it does not give
adequate grade elevation. The elevation as shown is within proposed area of
removal and not from the center of the nearest existing road. Also there has
been action on this area.
Mr. Gordon stated they have been working in area and that topsoil is stock
piled.
Mr. Lotz asked whether petitioner owns property. Mr. Gordon stated he did.
Yr. Lotz asked why petitioner removed dirt from the low four acres. Area is
definitely very low. Mr. Gordon stated they removed dirt underadvise from
their engineer.
Mr. Lotz stated it will take a good amount of fill to bring area up to grade.
Mr. Gordon stated area will be balanced without any low spots.

Mr. Lotz asked whether petitioner intended to sell topsoil. Mr. Gordon
stated that inasmuch as it is a salable commodity, they intend to sell it.
Stated they need to use some in the subdivision immediately to the West which
they are developing.
Mr. Begin stated they intend to bring area down to tie in with Belle-Lynn
Subdivision and that they intend to balance area.
Mr. Gordon stated the topsoil was stock piled because of the freezing weather
and amount of work before Commission; therefore, liberty was taken to stock
pile dirt and hope that Commission would bear with them because of the time
and circumstances.
Mr. Pinto stated he has been asked by Mr. Walker as to whether or not
petitioner is in violation of Ordinance. Asked Mr. Gordon whether his intent
is for commercial use of dirt. Mr. Gordon stated their intent is to develop
the proposed subdivision and that they have been advised by their engineer to
remove 20,000 cubic yards of dirt.
Mr. Walker stated he is not concerned with elevation - whether it is high or
low. Is concerned with nearest streets as in relation to the ground petitioner
is requesting removal of. That that is the judgment he will make decision from
Mr. Lotz stated Commission has had difficulty similar to this in the past in
that a dirt remover stock piled dirt and then appeared before Commission for
approval of removal. Remover claimed hardship. Asked whether as a matter of
record petitioner would claim a hardship.
Mr. Gordon stated he has dealt with Commission in the past on several
ocassions and has acted in good faith. Think statements should be taken on
face value of past relationship. Request is to remove 20,000 cubic yards of
dirt - will sell it unless Commission denys application.
Mr. Miller asked Mr. Gordon whether his engineer is available tonight to
verify survey for the elevation. Mr. Gordon stated engineer is not available
and that he was not informed that the survey is not correct.
No one was present objecting to petition.
Mr. Walker stated because of the previous experience of the City in matter of
stock piling dirt and then requesting approval of removal - if a subdivider
is going to be able to remove dirt before coming before Commission and
Commission is going to suffer reverses which means that the petitioner could
have charge of removing instead of Commission, think Commission needs legal
expression ori Ordinance pertaining to removal of dirt.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Walker and seconded by Mr. Lotz, itwas
#12-401-56 RESOLVED that, Application TA21 by Harold H. Gordon, Alby
Development Company requesting permission to remove topsoil

mit a survey with proper grade levels and Commission

city Attorney with reference to Section 4.03, Zoning
Ordinance, No. 60.

representative was present.
Mr. Robinson stated that in view of the decision made regarding Petition No.
Z-174 questioned whether Commission should continue with item.
Mr. Steinhoff stated he did not see how Commission could act on plat inasmuch
as the change of zoning was denied. Mr. Robinson stated that under the
present interpretation of Ordinance it is possible to plat on property before
it is rezoned.
Mr. Steinhoff stated petitioner was interested in rezoning and in fairness
to petitioner did not think Commission should go ahead with plat until there
is a settlement in the zoning of the area.

Mr. Kane stated he didn't see how a man can make a plat until he knows the
permitted size of lots.
Mr. Walker stated in his opinion it would be in order to take action.

unanimously carried, it was
#12-402-56 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held
the City Planning Commission does hereby deny without
prejudice approval to preliminary plat of Bell Valley Sub-
