Preliminary approval given October 9, 1956. Repeti- tion for re-affirmation of original approval.

A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following: 2082 AYES: Kane, Harsha, Angevine, Robinson NAYS: None 1[11 NOT VOTING: Anderson, Peacock The Chairman declared motion is carried and reaffirmation of approval is granted. f*Mr. Greene arrived at approximately 8:10 p.m. ✓ The secretary announced the next item on the agenda was Petition M-107b by Raymond Schreiber requesting permission to erect drive-in theatre on the North side of Plymouth Road between Levan and Newburg Road and situated in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 29, located approximately 900 feet West of the Northwest corner of Levan and Plymouth. Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Shapero were present. Mr. Shapero stated that they had applied for a license and the City Council had suggested that a re-study of the petition be made with the Traffic Commission and the City Planning Commission to determine if the objections made at previous meetings were substantial. Stated that in the Traffic Study it states that in the future Plymouth Road will be increased which will eliminate any traffic hazard in this area. Stated, also, that 175 cars can be taken off of Plymouth Road at one time if necessary, at the present time. Mr. Greene stated he was concerned with the traffic coming out at the end of a feature. Mr. Shapero asked if Mr. Gealer, owner of a drive-in theatre at Gratiot and Thirteen Mile Road, could submit his viewpoints at this time. IiIrl Mr. Gealer, 1751 Webb, Detroit, stated that in all the years he has managed this i theatre they have never had a traffic problem. This theatre is only 200 feet from the street but it never tied up traffic - at peak time the traffic did slow up but the traffic going out is controlled from the inside by deputized officers. The cars are allowed to go out of drive-in only if there is room for them on the road. There is no steady flow of cars at one time. Mr. Greene stated his objection is the Plymouth Road traffic situation. Felt that if the ingress and egress could be removed from Plymouth Road, it would also remove his complaint. Stated the advertising could be on Plymouth Road but the ingress on Levan Road. Mr. Gealer felt that the 7369 set back should be able to take care of any serious traffic situation, since 175 cars can be taken off of Plymouth at one time. Also that the cars stagger out just as they come in. They do not all go in at one time and they do not go out at one time. Mr. Shapero stated that if there should be too much traffic from the Plymouth exit, that the exit on Levan can be opened and used to alleviate any traffic jam on Plymouth. Mr. Greene asked if this meant there would be two exits from the theatre and not one as he supposed. Mr. Shapero assured Mr. Greene there will be two exits. Mr. Anderson asked if there were any changes in the proposed drive-in since the I: first time it was presented to Planning Commission. The only changes were the in- creased set back and an added lane. Police Commissioner Hay, who was present, stated that their objection had been in 2083 1[: relation to the exit but, since it has been relocated, there was no further objec- tion. Stated they would prefer the egress and ingress reversed but that the added set back will be a relief on the traffic problem. The lights will be controlled by the Highway Commission. Mr. Shapero stated that he had been assured that a traffic light will be installed on Plymouth Road by the drive-in. *Mr. Okerstrom arrived at approximately 8:30 p.m. Mr. J. Gadey, 36203 Plymouth Road, stated his objection in relation to the noise which will result from the drive-in and felt that the property value of the homes would be lowered. Mr. H. T. Kane, 35878 Parkdale, Country Homes Civic Association, stated that he wished to review the objections previously made at prior public hearings for this drive-in theatre. Reread letter dated May 20, 1958 which was submitted at the May 20th meeting. Stated they were mostly concerned with the traffic that will develop through their residential streets because of the drive-in. Mr. Hickok, Chairman of the Traffic Commission, asked that their letter dated May 19th be read at this time. Mr. Angevine complied. Mr. Hickok stated that a meeting should be arranged with the petitioner and the Traffic Commission and the Wayne County Road Commission in order to determine where to install the traffic light. Stated they would like to see the plans of the theatre. Ir Mr. Shapero stated they had only preliminary sketches at this time. Did not feel ILthey should go to the expense of extensive plans until assurance had been given to them that the drive-in theatre would be approved. When approval is given, regular plans will be made up and they will meet with the proper departments to determine where the exits and entrances will be situated according to the departments' recom- mendations. Mr. Greene asked Mr. Hickok if this was satisfactory to give approval and then have the petitioner meet with the Commission. Mr. Hickok stated this was satisfactory. Rev. Jones, Riverside Church cf God, stated his objection to the drive-in in relation to it being a nuisance; easier to try and stop it from being approved than to have it approved and then attempt to have the nuisance removed. Mr. Greene informed those present that at one time it was thought to keep any drive- in theatre out of Livonia but that the Courts had indicated that we could not keep them out legally. At that time an ordinance was proposed and adopted which was thought to be strict enough to control this problem. My chief concern was the traf- fic situation. Mr. Ponder stated that it was tried to keep drive-in theatres out of the city limits, but that the recent case involving a drive-in theatre on Schoolcraft and Middlebelt determined that it was illegal to prevent them from operating in Livonia, at which time the recent ordinance was established. The court had determined that the ordinance preventing drive-in theatres in Livonia was not reasonable and arbitrary- !: Mr. C. Lafferty, 36176 Parkdale, felt that drive-in would be a nuisance to adjacent property owners. 2084 1EMr. R. Lyons, 35899 Leon, felt there was no adequate traffic safety. Mr. M. Holley, 14821 Farmington, stated he felt that a drive-in would contribute to juvenile delinquency. Mr. H. Irwin, 36059 Leon, asked how many times could petitioner bring back his peti- tion before the Commission. Mr. Robinson stated there was no stipulation as to how many times they may come back. Mr. Shapero and Mr. Gealer stated that some drive-in theatres have even been used for sunrise services. Mr. Lyons asked if this petition is approved what assurance would they have of traf- fic control in this area, and have the Police and Traffic Commission given their approval. Mr. Robinson answered that since the change in the original plot plan of the drive- in theatre, the Police Department have withdrawn their objection. The Traffic Com- mission have reserved their opinion until they see the engineering plans. The Chairman declared that this item would be taken under advisement. Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Kane, supported by Mr. Anderson and unanimously adopted, it was resolved that this public hearing be adjourned at approximately 9.13 p.m. The Chairman declared a recess at approximately 9:15 p.m. The Chairman called the 88th Special Meeting to order at approximately 9:25 p.m. with all those present who were present at the Public Hearing.

M-. Harsha stated at this time in relation to the top soil bond release which was a :Tiroved, that he wished to ask Mr. Ponder how much the topsoil bond covered. Did thc: bond cover the private property owner or just the city? Mr. Ponder stated that tie bond would only apply to what is required by the ordinance. If there is any ir ;ury to a private party the bond would not cover that. Mr. Harsha asked if the Commission had a legal right to stop any one to speak at this time since this topsoil bond release does not require a public hearing at which time they would be allowed to speak. Mr. Robinson stated that the complaint of any persons should be made to the Inspec- tion Department, but that it may be wise to have a re-poll on whether or not to allow persons in the audience to speak at this time.

North of Seven Mile Road and situated in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 1, from RUF to C-2. Public Hearing on June 17, 1958 at which time item was taken under advisement be- cause if property is rezoned to C-2, there would be a 321 finger of RUF between it and the present C-2 zoning on the corner of Middlebelt and Seven Mile Road. Mr. Jenkins stated that the option on said property expires September 9th. It will take approximately two weeks to draw up the plans to show to the Petitioner, Mrs. Vinnell. Because of the shortage of time, it would be impossible to have another hearing on the 321 finger in time to make up the plans before the 9th of September.
