MINUTES OF A PUBLIC HEARING OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF LIVONIA
On June 4, 1957 the above hearing was held by the City Planning Commission of
the City of Livonia at the City Hall, 33001 Five Mile Road, Livonia, Michigan.
Chairman William R. Robinson called the Public Hearing to order at approximately
8:09 p.m.
Members present: Robert L. Greene Wilfred Okerstrom H. Paul Harsha
Karla Steinhoff Charles Walker William R. Robinson
Fred A. Lotz Robert L. Miller
Members absent: Leonard Kane
Lieutenant Bob Perry, Livonia Fire Department and Rodney Kropf, Asst. City
Attorney were present together with approximately 100 interested people
attending the Public Hearing.
Mr. Robinson informed those present that since May 21, 1957 and the adoption
of Resolution No. 5-146-57 to rezone Neighborhood 21 to RU, the Commission has
had difficulty in obtaining a legal description of the neighborhood. Suggested
that Commission amend or rescind previous resolution to cover only the sub-
divisions (Burton Hollow Estates and Burton Hollow Estates No. 2) which the
Commission can obtain legal descriptions of from the petitioner. It was
brought out that the Burton Hollow Estates Subdivision and the Burton Hollow
Estates Subdivision, No. 2 does not encompass all of the property owned by
the petitioner on the South side of Six Mile Road. Mr. Robinson suggested
that the Commission then table the matter until a legal description can be
obtained prior to setting a date for the public hearing.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Walker, seconded by Mr. Lotz and unanimously
carried, it was
#6-163-57 RESOLVED that, date of June 18, 1957 be removed from Resolution
No. 5-146-57 and that the date be affixed at the earliest time
possible after Commission obtains legal description of
Neighborhood 21.
The Chairman declared the foregoing resolution adopted.
The secretary read letter dated May 29, 1957 from Stephan F. Slavik, Rouge
Building Company regarding the revised proposed Burton Hollow Estates Sub-
division located on the Southwest corner of Six Mile and Farmington Roads in
the Northeast 1/4 of Sect on 16. The secretary also read letters dated
March 22, 1957 addressed to Mr. Joseph Slavik, Slavik Builders from Paul W.
VanCleve, Geer Associates; dated May 31, 1957 from eight residents objecting

Mr. Harsha, Chairman of the Plat Committee stated that most of the lots are
80' frontage. Suggested that if proposed plat is approved that it be so with
the condition that i'i the private subdivision restrictions it be stipulated
that there be no fills allowed in the flood plain.
Mr. Steinhoff stated two courts are named Bell Creek Court and that one should
be changed. Mr. Slavik stated that he thought that an error had been made and
that on the original plat the courts are shown with different names.
Mr. Okerstrom suggested that a radius be shown on the lots located on Grove
to Bell Creek Lane.
Mr. Slavik stated their intent regarding the flood plain is as outlined in
letter read from Geer Associates.
Mr. Robinson stated that that is only a communication to Slavik Builders from
Geer Associates and that Commission has no agreement from petitioner.
Mr. Slavik stated that that will be in the private subdivision restrictions
and that the restrictions are not made up until plat is approved.
Mr. Nern stated that the record can show that petitioner is in accord with
suggestion.
Mr. Harsha stated that in letter read from Geer Associates filling of flood
plain is listed under City objectives and not under petitioner's objectives.
Questioned paving.
Mr. Slavik stated they would like to have 20' concrete pavement rather than
a black top and that from his experience black top will deteriorate. Stated
that there is no City Ordinance regarding 20' concrete pavement. Because
of the large lots there will be no street parking.
Mr. Walker asked Mr. Slavik whether he has had any meetings with the School
District pertaining to the school situation. At the last meeting Commission
received communication from. School District calling to Commission's attention
the serious situation in that district. Mr. Slavik stated that they have not
met with the School District since last meeting. Submitted master plot plan
to school district and revised plats and that they were suppose to contact
office.
Mr. Walker stated that because of the large area, Commission should have
received communication from School District on their proposal.
Mr. Slavik stated that they approached the School District before they started
to subdivide area and that they were told that the School District had no idea
of putting school in property. At that time they did not think school needed.
Mr. Milton Holley, 14821 Farmington Road asked high bank mark and that no
building can be built between high and low plain. No question that petitioner
is going to create trouble with the low area of the City especially when
they are going to go into the Bell Creek ravine.
Mr. Arthur Bruckert, 16366 Bell Creek Lane submitted for Commission's
inspection The Brightmoor Journal dated May 23, 1957 showing the Fenkell bridge

area as threatened by a mild rain. Referred to petition dated June 3, 1957
by Bell Creek Farms Association and other civic associations objecting to
proposed subdivisions and asked that Commission hold any approval to sub-
divisions until a Public Hearing is held on Neighborhood 21 rezoning.
Mr. Robinson concurred with Mr. Bruckert in that matter should be held in
abeyance until Public Hearing on the rezoning of area.
Mr. William Clark, 15951 Stanford agreed with Mr. Bruckert on deferring action
on the proposed plats.
Mr. J. D. Elliot, 16310 Bell Creek Lane stated that the proposed plats do not
conform to RU and the Commission's suggestion that there be RU along the creek.
Never been one word in favor of proposed plats. Concurred that plats be
denied until after Public Hearing on RU.
Mr. Arthur Fisher, 30408 Hoy concurred with the associations represented in
what they are trying to do. Reminded Commission of Sections 14 and 23 in that
they had the same problem and that now they have a mixed up area. Suggested
that Conanision study area.
Mr. Robert Seelye, 33639 North Hampshire stated in December, 1956 a subdivision
was submitted West of Coventry area (Bell Valley Subdivision) which was also
in the flood plan and that it was Commission's decision at the time that RU
should be considered. Thought this similar situation.
Mr. Greene asked Mr. Kropf what will happen if Commission does not go ahead
with approval or disapproval tonight. Mr. Kropf stated that it is the request
of Mayor Brashear that there be a conference between this Commission,
petitioners, representative of the Civic associations in area and City
Attorney to see whether or not some program couldn't be worked out where all
concerned will be happy. To table this there is the possibility of City
running into a legal problem too -- if Commission waits for legal description
of area (Neighborhood 21) and attempts to rezone it there are a line of cases
which would hold that unconstitutional --- changes the rules in the middle of
the game. Petitioner can plat 60' lots under the present interpretation of
the Ordinance. The petitioner does have a considerable number of 80' lots in
Burton Hollow Estates Subdivision.
Mr. Holley stated that he and the people in his area do not belong to an
association and that they and others not represented here tonight are interest-
ed in problem. Any meeting should be open to the public because there are
quite a few people concerned.
Mr. Robinson stated that he did not think an intelligent study meeting could be
conducted with people in areas 3/4 of a mile away from area involved.
Mr. Bruckert stated he would be glad to attend meeting as suggested. Invited
Mr. Holley to be given opportunity of being listening member of his
association.
Mr. Seelye stated he would like to see Mr. Holley present as a participating
member of such a meeting.
Mr. Harsha stated he would like to know who meeting will be restricted to --
how many present from various civic associations.

Mr. Robinson suggested two representatives be allowed from each association
in the area.
Mr. Slavik asked how much of their land the property owners have dedicated to
the flood plain. Mr. Robinson stated he did not believe question pertinent.
Mr. Slavik asked what they did to protect flood plain for the City of Livonia.
Mr. Walker asked whether petitioner would be willing to attend meeting as
suggested by Mr. Kropf. Mr. Slavik stated he did not know how much further;
they can go than 80' lots as shown.
Mr. Nern stated that at such a meeting as proposed petitioner will be at the
mercy of those present. Petitioner has indicated that they have made com-
promise. Have done just about everything that can be done. As far as land
sizes, have been guided by the City Officials, own engineers, etc.
Mr. Slavik stated he will sit down and talk to anyone at anytime.
Mr. Robinson suggested June 11, 1957 at 8:00 p.m. as joint meeting as
