MEETING AND A PUBLIC HEARING OF THE CITY PLANNING
ECOMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LIVONIA
--3 On Tuesday, October 4, 1960 the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia held
a Public Hearing and the 122nd Special Meeting at the Livonia City Hall, 33001 Five
Mile Road, Livonia, Michigan. Mr. Charles Walker, Chairman called the public hearing
to order at approximately E:05 p.m.
Members present: Leonard K. Kane, Robert L. Angevine, Charles W. Walker, Robert
L. Greene, Robert M. Peacock and Wilford E. Okerstrom
Members absent : Dennis Anderson*and William R. Robinson**
Mr. David R. McCullough, City Planner and Mr. Charles J. Pinto, First Assistant
Attorney were present along with approximately 18 interested persons in the audience.
Mr . McCullough: The first item on the agenda is Petition M-209 by Socony
Mobil Oil Company, Inc. , requesting permission to construct
an automotive service station on property located on the Southwest corner of Plymouth
and Ir-.kster Roads in the New Detroit ibdivision located in the Northeast 1/4 of
Section 36. There is no correspondence in relation to this petition.
Mr. Thomas Pence, representative for Socony Mobil Oil Company was present.
Mr. Pence: This is a baked enamel type building. It will be set back
132' from the center of Plymouth Road. It will be built
along the company's standard plan. We have had approval
from the state and the county for curb cuts along Plymouth
and Inkster Roads.
**
Mr. Robinson arrived at t:10 p.m.
Mr. Pence submitted i►is ' plans which showed the alley used as an approach.
*Mr. Anderson arrived at 8:12 p.m.
Mr. Pence: I feel that a safety hazard could be created if the alley
is not used because of the sharp turning movement which
would be necessary for autos entering from Inkster.
Members of the commission examined the two site plans. The question was raised
whether or not it would be wise to vacate the alley.
Mr. Walker: Is it your opinion, Mr. Pence, that you can't move the
approach because of the location of the pump?
Mr. Pence: Both the state and Wayne County Road Commission have certain
standards set for these approaches as to exactly where they
are to start and end.
Mr. Keeting: From the property line to the beginning of the approach
(Engineering Dept. is 20 ft. You can not start to turn within the radius of
Socony Mobil Oil the 20 ft.
Company)
IIMr. Peacock: The plan shows 54 ft. from the curb line to the pump,
I certainly that should be sufficient room to see the pump
and turn the wheels of a car.
Mr. Walker: The Planning Commission should determine themselves whether
the alley should be vacated or not.
Mr. Peacock: When a commercial piece of property abuts an alley, will it
v
2990
require a wall?
Mr. Pinto: The intent of the ordinance is to require a protective
wall where commercial properties adjoin or are contiguous
to residential property. In this case residential property
is right next door and a protective wall is require3.
Mr . Pence: We are prepared to put the wall in. The only question is
where it will go in. In the event that the alley is
vacated the wall will be within thetwenty feet.
Mr. Pinto: The existing ordinance provides a wall on the rear easement
line and not on the rear property line.
Mr. Okerstruu: I du not know how the other commissioners feel about this, but
how can we vacate the alley here when the rest of the block
isn't built up?
Also, the new gasoline ordinance calls for a 40 ft. driveway
from the rear property line as measured along the side
street property line. This plan does not provide fur this.
Mr. Kane: If the alley is vacated, doesn't half of it go to the
property owner south of the alley? This drawing shows that
the gasoline station takes the entire 20 ft.
Mr. Walker: Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak?
Mr. J. Jestrike: This is in regard to the approach at the alley - there is a
new home next to the alley. If the alley is used as an
approach to the station then the driveway of the home will
also be used because it is located on that side of the house.
I wouldn't like to see the alley being used as an approach
to the station.
Mr. Pence: Is there a side drive to the house?
Mr. Oestrike: Yes, there is.
Mr. Pence: A good example of how this is avoided is on the other side if
the street. The approach is curved so that it goes away
from the side drive.
Mr. William J. Newton: Will it be a wall or a fence on the back of the property?
11414 Arcola)
MI . Walker: This will be a wall.
The questiu:. was raised where did the wall start? How many feet west of Inkster.
M:. . Pinto: This is to start at the property line.
I[:
Mi.. Peacock: I understand that we cannot start a petition to vacate, and
that the present alley is not maintained as well as it
should be.
Mr . Pinto: I would have to check the ordinance. To ny recollection it
has always been activated by the property owners or the
City Council.
2991
Mr. Peacock: Can't we vacate the alley on our own motion? That would
mean that the property owner on the south could maintain
their side and the gasoline station could maintain their
side. This would eliminate the problem of weeds.
Mr. Walker: There is a question of whether or not the alley should be
vacated. This should be decided first before any motion is
made to vacate this alley.
Mr. Anderson: I would like to see if we are out of order in making a motion
to vacate this alley.
Mr. Pinto was excused at this time in order to determine whether or not the Cit;
Planning Commission has the jurisdiction to make a motion to provide for a public
hearing to vacate an alley.
Mr. Walker: The Commission should determine one way or the other.
Mr. peacock: We can not do this until we know if we are in order to do so.
Mr. Walker: If the majority of the commission don't want the alley
vacated there wouldn't be any need for removing the alley.
Mr. Pinto returned at 8:35 p.m.
Mr. Pinto: The Planning Commission has no authority to activate the
vacating of an alley. The City Council by resolution requests
the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing and then
to make a recommendation to them as to the vacating of an
alley.
Mr. Okerstrom: The revolving sign appears to be with .in the right-of-way
of the mile road.
Mr. Pence: That can be moved to conform with your ordinance.
Mr. Peacock: I would like the commission polled as to how many of the
members wish to have the alley vacated.
•
Mr. Walker: How many of the members wish the alley to remain as it is?
Mr. Robinson and Mr. Okerstrom ware in favor of this.
Mr. Greene: Would we be setting a precedent on this if we indicated the
desire to vacate the alley under the particular conditions
of this situation?
Mr. Pinto: Whether the alley remains or is vacated the wall remains
the same under the ordinance, unless the petitioner goes
to the Zoning Board of Appeals for variance.
I[: Mr. Greene: We are vacating the alley without the normal reason for
vacating.
Mr. W. Newton : I do not want to see the alley vacated. I am against this.
Mr. Pinto; If the alley is vacated the placement of the wall will be
the same as if the alley'is not vacated.
2992
Mr. Kane: Can't we take this under advisement - it needs further
II:
study.
Mr. +%7alker; This item will be taken under advisement for further
consideration.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is Application TA-76 by A. K.
Miller, Inc. , who are requesting permission to remove top-
soil from a parcel located on the West side of Middlebelt Road, approximately 695
feet North of Seven Mile Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 2.
Mr. Miller was present:
Mr. McCullough: Correspondence has been received from the Police Department
dated September 23, 1960 and from the Engineering Department
dated September 30, 1960.
Mr. Peacock: I examined the area quite thoroughly. The people who live
across the street have no objection to the petitioner
removing the topsoil. The property owner to the north
was concerned about the Just that might result from the
removal of the topsoil. Mr. Miller is willing to stockpile
on Seven Mile Road because the Police Department has asked
that Mr. Miller not use Middlebelt.
It was determined that this removal consisted of twelve (12) acres.
Mr. Okerstrom: What will become of this property?
Mr. Walker: Mr. Miller, do you have any information to satisfy Mr.
Okerstrom's questiai ?
Mr. Miller: I have no interest in this property; Mr. Klein has said
that he plans on starting the building next Spring.
Mr. Walker: Any one in the audience who wishes to speak?
The question was raised as to how will Mr. Miller cross the drain to remove the
topsoil? Mr. Miller answered that there is a culvert across the drain which will
be used for this purpose.
The question was also asked what about dust blowing. Mr. Miller answered that
the blow condition will be taken care of by the grass. The seed is being put in
now so that the grass will start growing in the spring.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Peacock, supported by Mr. Angevine, it was
#10-2k4-60 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held the
City Planning Commission does hereby grant Application TA-76
by A. K. Miller, Inc. , requesting permission to remove topsoil
11[: from a parcel located on the West side of Middlebelt Road,
approximately 695 feet North of Seven Mile Road in the Southeast
1/4 of Section 2, subject, however, to the following conditions:
(a) that the applicant shall not at any time allow water to
collect on the subject property or on adjoining property and
at all times shall maintain adequate drainage;
2993
(b) that the applicant shall not excavate below the grade of any
proposed subdivision streets;
(c) that the applicant shall at all times comply with all traffic
requirements established by the Police Department;
(d) that the applicant shall be obligated to seed all of the land
from which topsoil has been removed with some seed acceptable to
the Department of Parks and Recreation unless at the time the
applicant petitions for the release of the topsoil bond, the
Planning Commission relieves the petitioner of this obligation,
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the applicant deposit with the City Clerk
a corporate surety bond at $500.00 per acre for twelve (12)
acres (or $6,000.00), which bond shall be for at least a one-year
period; and
THAT, the period for which the permit herein, authorized shall be
for a period of one year or period not to exceed the expiration
date of the bond as required herein, whichever is the shorter
period, and
THAT, the applicant shall apply for and obtain the permit herein
authorized within thirty (30) days from the date of this
resolution.
FURTHER RESOLVED, notice of the above hearing was sent to the
I: property owners within 500 feet, petitioner, City Departments as
listed in the Proof of Service and recommendations having been
obtained from the Department of Public Works under date of Sept.
30, 1960 and from the Police Department under date of September
23, 1960.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Peacock, Greene, Angevine, Robinszh, Anderson, Kane,Okerstrom
and Walker.
NAYS: None
Mr. Walker: The motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
Mr. McCullough: The next tmo petitions, Z-473 and Z-475 by D. R. McCullough
pursuant to authority vested in him under Section 4 of
Article VI of the Rules & Procedure of the City. Planning Commission, are petitions
to determine whether or not to amend Section 20.01 of Article 20.00 and Section 17.02
of Article 17.00 by exempting any church or charitable organization from a filing
fee in relation to zoning and for petitions requiring approval by the City Planning
Commission.
There is no correspondence.
Mr. Peacock: I feel that the churches and charitable organizations should
11[: pay the filing fee because this cost is usually included
in the building construction costs.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Okerstrom, supported by Mr. Peacock, it was
#10- -6- RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on
Petition Z-473 by D. R. McCullough to determine whether or not
Section 20.01 of Article 20.00 of the Zoning Ordinance should be
2994
amended by exempting any church or charitable organization from a
fileing fee in relation to zoning, the City Planning Commission does
hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition Z-473 be denied,
There was a lengthy discussion after the motion to deny was made. It was thought that
it might be wise to exempt churches from paying a fee but that charitable organizations
should pay a fee.
Mr. Walker: Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak?
Mr. Anderson: I think we should discuss this more fully rather than make
a hurried decision now.
Mr. Pinto: If, in the case of a church or charitable organization re-
questing a zoning change or approval of a use, the ,Planning
Commission can on their own motion provide for a public hearth
in which case, the church or organization would not have to
pay a fee.
Mr. Okerstroh: I would like to withdraw my motion to deny in favor of having
our City Planner determine whether both churches and charitabl
organizations should be exempted from paying a filing fee or
just churches.
Mr. Walker: Mr. Peacock, are you withdrawing your support to the motion
also?
Mr. Peacock: I do not want to withdraw my support. It might be wise to
bring these petitions to the attention of the Planning Com-
mission at a study session and have it determined at that
{ time whether the petitioner should pay a filing fee or not.
I will withdraw my support.
Mr. Kane: The zoning ordinance could be amended by exempting any tax-
exempted properties from the filing fees.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Kane, Supported by Mr. Angevine, it was
#10- -60 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held on Petition
Z-473 by D. R. McCullough to determine whether or not Section 20.01 of
Article 20.00 of the Zoning Ordinance should be amended by exempting any
church or charitable organization from a filing fee, the City Planning
Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition Z-473
be granted and that said section be amended by exempting any tax-exempted
properites from a filing fee in relation to zoning,
Mr. Pinto: To ray knowledge, property is either exempted from taxes or
it isn't. In a case of a Veterans organization, for instance
owning a piece of land with a building on it, the land under-
neath is exempted. But, if it has nothing upon it, it should
be taxable.
Mr. Kane: I would like to withdraw my motion in order that this
subject may be taken under advisement.
Mr. Angevine: I will withdraw my empport to Mr. Kane's motion.
Mr. Walker: This item will be taken under advisement for further study.
Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak in
relation to Petition Z-475?
2995
There being no one, this item will also be taken under
advisement.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is Petition Z-475 by D. R. McCullough
to determine whether or not to amend Section 5.02 of Article
5.00 of the Zoning Ordinance, Ordinance No. 60 of the City of
Livonia, pursuant to City Council's Resolution #515-60. This is in regards to
privately owned and operated neighborhood, community or club swimming pool in R-1
Districts.
Mr. McCullough read the ordinance to the commission members and the audience. Mk.
Pinto pointed out that this proposed ordinance did not relate to backyard swimming
pools. One stipulation of the ordinance was that the pool could not be constructed
within four hundred (400) feet of any existing residence.
Mr. Robinson: I would like to object against this. We should encourage
swimming pools. This ordinance requires three blocks tl be
;pen bei,.re the pool can be installed.
Mr. Peacock: The pool in Buckingham Village Subdivision was built success-
fully and the residents are closer than 400 ft.
Mr. Howard Middlewood(representing Bureau of Inspection): This proposed ordinance
also states that the written consent of fifty-one percent
(51%). of the residential property owners within a radius
of five hundred (500) feet of any part of the premises
where on the proposed pool facilities are to be constructed
and operated, shall be on file in the Bureau of Inspection. I
personally feel that the Bur°au of Inspection does not have
the facilities to verify these signatures.
Mr. Peacock: This new ordinance would prohibit a pool in a developed area.
Mr. Walker: If this ordinance was adopted, who would acquire the signatures
of the 51%? The petitioner would have to obtain the consents.
Mr. McCullough: They would have to be checked by the PlanningCommission to see
if the 517. is obtained.
Mr. Pinto: The signatures could be notarized. This provision could be
made as part of the ordinance.
Mr. Walker: Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak?
There was a brief discussion in relation to civic associations wishing to install
swimming pools in their respective subdivisions. One such civic assoda tion was the
Rosedale Gardens Civic Association who are contea.plating installing a community pool
in their subdivision.
Mr. Robinson: I feel that we should allow the Rosedale Civic Association to
appear before this commission and give us their arguments in
relation to their pool. Because of this, I suggest that this
be taken under advisement until that time.
Mr. Walker: This item will be taken under advisement.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Okerstrom, supported by Mr. Peacock, it was
#10-215-60 RESOLVED that, the City Planning Commission does hereby adjourn the
Public Hearing held on Tuesday, October 4, 1960 at approximately 9:25 p.m.
2996
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
1114i
AYES: Peacock, Greene, Angevine, Robinson, Anderson, Kane,
Okerstrom and Walker
NAYS: None
Mr. Walker: The motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
Before we start the Special Meeting, we have -present with
is the"-owner of'.. the Best Block Company located on Five
Mile Road and Bainbridge. We have been discussing with
him. the possibility of doing something to screen his
plant from the residential across the street from him. We
would like to have this gentleman step forward and see if
we can come up with a solution.
Mr. Walter Pachota and Mr. Alvin Chartrand came forward.
Mr. Walker: You have two feet from the property line which is the area
we thine something could be done with. Would you be in
accord with us and going along with some type of wall that
would dress up that entire piece of property?
Mr. Pachota: How high would this wall be?
Mr. McCullough: Approximately six to ei,ht feet.
Mr. Walter: In this type of business it is a necessity to store the
blocks as they are presently. We are in sympathy with
the problem. We have asked Mr. Pachota if he would be
willing to come before the Commission so that we could
work something out in order to make this location look
better than it presently does.
Mr. Greene: I appreciate their problem but a low wall will not hide
the blocks. What about a greenbelt or trees?
Mr. Walker: We have discussed greenbelts. He did not stress any view-
point on either. A wall was thought as being better.
Mr. McCullough: Is there any possibility of you lowering the stacks of
blocks on your property, or are you pressed for space?
Mr. Pachota: The blocks are moved periodically. If we do lower them,
we would need ten or twenty feet more and they would still
be visible from the road.
Mr. Peacock: If these blocks were worked or stacked in a design, it would
be very beautiful. It would serve the purpose and it would
leave him the space to cure these blocks out.
Mr. McCullough: Possibly Mr. Anderson along with a committee of two, can
work out a design for this gentleman.
Mr. Middlewood: Is the back of the lot being utilized to the best use. It
might be possible to store further back. The ordinance
prohibits the use of the front yard for storage of materials.
2997
Mr. Pachota: We use this to hide the trucks which would look worse than
the blocks.
Mr. Walker: Can you work out some design with these blocks and
forward them to a committee that I will appoint.
Mr. Pachota: We will design something suitable and forward it to you.
Mr. Walker: I would like to appoint Mr. Dennis Anderson along with
Mr. Robert Angevine and Mr. Robert Peacock to be the
committee to come up with some suitable wall for Mr. Pachota.
I would like to thank you, Mr. Pachota, for coming down and
discussing this with us.
Mr. Walker called a recess at this time, 9:45 p.m.
* * * * *
Mr. Walker called the 122nd Special Meeting to order at approximately 9:50 p.m. with
all those present now who were present at the time the recess was called.
Mr. Walker: Mr. Middlewood from the Bureau of Inspection is present. I
suggest we take Item #10 under consideration now in order
not to hold up Mr. Middlewood.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is Petition Z-47 by D. R.
McCullough to determine whether or not Section 4.45 of Article.
4.00 of the Zoning Ordinance should be amended by changing the type of protective
wall required by the existing ordinance. Public hearing 9/20/60.
There was a very lengthy discussion at this time between Mr. Middlewood and the
Commission as to the advantages of a different type of wall other than what is
presently required in the ordinance. Mr. Middlewood stated the wall as shown on
the plans before the Commission tonight, was the type discussed with Mr. Sheppard
of the Federal Housing Administration. He further stated that the concrete block
wall has certain disadvantages that make it unsatisfactory. It has very little
strength; any sharp blow will dislodge a block; very hard to tap - in sewers; very
expensive in comparison to the size of the lot. Portions of the wall, of the
one presently before the Commission, can be replaced without harm to the remainder
of the wall; and it is less expensive.
Mr. Middlewood: The only protective walls presently in Livonia are the
ones erected for Wonderland and Daly's Drive-In on Plymouth
Road. There may be others, but we do not have very many.
Mr. McCullough: The protective wall should be required before a building
permit for the building is issued.
Mr. Middlewood: But, if the wall is put up first, then it has to be torn
down again when the sewers are tapped in.
11[: Mr. Okerstrom: In some cases, wasn't a cash bond required in lieu of the
wall.
This was determined true.
Mr. Middlewood: The consensus of the meeting we had with the FHA was that
1
2993
there should be an alternative as to the type of wall.
I feel that there should be some room underneath this
wall.
•
Mr. Anderson and Mr. Peacock objected to this space.
Mr . Peacock: I feel that our ordinance is adequate.
Mr. Middlewood: Objection has been raised to this type of wall now required
because of the cost.
Mr. Anderson: I believe we should do some changing in our ordinance but
we should not accept this particular wall.
I would go along with pre-cast concrete .
Mr. Robinson: Mr. Middlewood wanted to know what we wanted the wall for
and then decide on kind of wall. We should go on record
as to what this wall should protect.
Mr. McCullough: I will compile a report from the various builders as to
their 'thoughtts .on the putOoseof the walls. .
It was determined that these protective walls should protect residential owners
from noise, lights, debris , etc. , besides being attractive.
li:
Mr. Walker: This item will be taken under advisement until we have
received a report from Mr. McCullough.
Mr. Anderson: A wall is much less expensive to maintain than a greenbelt.
This should be pointed out to the builders.
Mr. McCullough: The next three items are the C-1, C-2 and C-3 District
Regulations, namely Petitions Z-457, Z-458 and Z-459.
The public hearings for these three items were held on August 16, 1960. They were
taken under advisement at the public hearing, at the 121st Special Meeting held on
Tuesday, September 13, 1960 and at the 119th Regular Meeting held on Tuesday,
September 20, 1960. At the last meeting, various changes were made and the revised
ordinances were submitted to the commission for their examination.
After a brief discussion, it was decided to poll the commission so as to determine
in which district, gasoline/oil stations, should be in.
Mr. Walker asked Mr. Okerstrom to poll the commission whether or not gas stations
should be in C-2.
The poll resulted in the following:
AYES: Greene, Robinson, Okerstrom and Walker
NAYS: Peacock, Angevine, Anderson and Kane
Mr. Walker: The poll resulted in a tie decision.
There was a further discussion among the members as to gas stations.
Mr. Anderson asked that the poll be taken again.
2999
The poll resulted in the following:
AYES: Greene, Angevine, Robinson, Okerstrom and Walker
NAYS: Peacock, Anderson and Kane
Mr. Walker: The poll resulted in favor of gas stations in the C-2
District.
There was a further discussion in relation to other uses in C-2 and C-3. It was
suggested that"trampolines, rebounding tumbling centers" should be included
along with "Migratory carnivals and outdoor seasonal amusement enterprises" in
C-2. Also delete "establishments within buildings or structures for the alteration,
finishing, assembling or storage of goods" from C-2 along with "Auto bump shops'.
"Auto bump 6bops" yould.then be in C-3 Districts. It was also suggested that
the wording" when located adjacent to and such use is incidental to the operation
of licensed new car sales showroom" should be deleted in connection with "Used
car lots". In the C-3 Districts, it was suggested that"go-carts and 1/4 midget
race areas" be a prohibited use and that "auto repair, auto paint and body shops
and similar business for bumping, refinishing, collision or like auto body work"
be deleted as a prohibited use in the C-3 Districts. Mr. Angevine suggested that
"assembly buildings" be changed to read" assembly halls", a permitted use in C-3.
