MINUTES OF A PUBLIC HEARING
AND THE 127TH REGULAR MEETING OF THE
CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LIVONIA
On Tuesday, May 23, 1961 the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia held a
public hearing and the 127th Regular Meeting at the Engineering Building, 13325
Farmington Road, Livonia, Michigan. Mr. Charles W. Walker, Chairman, called the
Public Hearing to order at approximately 8:00 p.m.
Members present: Dennis Anderson, Robert L. Angevine, W. E. Okerstrom, James
Watson, Jr. , James Cameron and Charles W. Walker
Members absent : **Leonard K. Kane, Robert L. Greene and Robert M. Peacock
Mr. David R. McCullough, City Planner, was present along with approximately 15 in-
terested persons in the audience.
Mr. McCullough: The first item on the agenda is Petition Z-508 by the City
Planning Commission on its own motion to determine whether or
not to rezone property located on the South side of Schoolcraft
Road approximately 1,000 ft. West of Inkster Road in the
Northeast 1/4 of Section 25 from M-2 to C-2 and/or P.
It has been determined by the Department of Law that it is
not necessary to change the zoning on this property because
the proposed use is permissible under the existing zoning
A motion of withdrawal is in order.
Mr. Walker: Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak?
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Okerstrom, supported by Mr. Watson, it was
#5-85-61 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on
Petition Z-508 as submitted by the City Planning Commission for
a change of zoning in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 25 from
M-2 to C-2 and/or P, the City Planning Commission does hereby
withdraw Petition Z-508 for the reason that it has been determined
by the Department of Law that the intended use is permissible under
the existing zoning and therefore a public hearing is unnecessary,
and
FURTHER RESOLVED, notice of the above hearing was published in
the official newspaper, The Livonian, under date of May 3, 1961
and notice of which hearing was sent to The Detroit Edison
Co. , Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co. , Michigan Bell Telephone Co. ,
The Consumers Power Company, City Departments and petitioner as
listed in the Proof of Service.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Watson, Cameron, Anderson, Angevine, Okerstrom and Walker
11[: NAYS: None
Mr. Walker: The motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is
adopted.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is Petition Z-507 by William Nern
for P. Acitelli and R. Vindegar who is asking that the zoning classification of property
3182
located approximately 360 ft. South
of Eight Mile Road and approximately 300 ft. East of Osmus
in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 3 be rezoned from RUFB to
M-1.
Mr. McCullough presented a proposed plot plan of this area designating an additional
150 ft. in depth for industry rather than the 300 ft. requested in the petition. He
stated that the petitioner was agreeable to erecting an opaque fence or a chain link
fence around the area he intends to use as storage.
Mr. Walker: If we approve this proposed plan, there would be a depth of
450 ft. of industrial zoning with 150 ft. remaining in the
one lot which could be developed into residential.
Mr. McCullough: We have been working with the civic associations in this area
and I believe that this proposed plan is one that some of
them would like to see in this area.
Mr. Walker: Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak?
Mr. Charles Forrest, Assistant City Attorney arrived at approximately 8:05 p.m.
Mr. Doughs Harma: I represent some of the property owners in that neighborhood.
20281 Osmus) I live directly across the street. I have a petition signed
by 100% of the people who have property adjoining it on all
sides who are against the rezoning. We have a taste of
industry with what is presently there.
Mr. Walker: Would the representative of the petitioner please come forward?
Mr. Nern: I am the attorney for Mr. Acitelli and Mr. Vidergar on this
petition.
Mr. McCullough: Indicate to the Planning Commission what the petitioner is going
to do if the rezoning is granted?
Mr. Nern: At the present time this property is unuseable and we would like
to erect a building, a tool type building on the order of
what is there now. We are cramped for storage space and we
could use part for open storage subject to any ordinances of
the city. The property as it is situated has no residential
market value. Mr. Acitelli has tried to get others interested
in developing it for residential but when they find out where
it is they won'ttouch it because there are no sewers. The
sewers are on Eight Mile Road but there are none south of
Eight Mile Road.
Mr. McCullough: You intend to erect another plant?
Mr. Nern: We have no specific plans but it would be whatever a prospective
purchaser would like and also in accordance with the building
and off-street parking requirements.
1[0 Mr. McCullough: Are you using the land behind the building now?
Mr. Acitelli: No, not much, no trucks.
Mr. Harma: There is a junk truck there at this time; they only use this
land for a dump.
3183
Mr. Walker: Mr. Nern, are you familiar with the proposed plan as sub-
mitted by W. McCullough? Are you in accordance with the
Commission to rezone this property for the depth as shown
on the map or are you in disagreement with this?
Mr. Nern: Instead of the 300 ft. we have asked for, you are suggesting
rezoning 150 ft. Any relief you give us is welcomed. We
would agree to this. It doesn't solve all our problems but
we would not be in disagreement. It would be desirable to
have the whole 300 ft. rezoned as we have shown in our
petition.
Mr. Watson: I would like to know where the RUF ends and the M-1 ends.
Mr. McCullough explained the proposed plan to Mr. Watson.
Mr. Acetelli: I have tried to sell it but no one will touch it because of
the sewer problem.
Mr. Walker: Would the additional depth of 150 ft. alleviate some of your
problems?
Mr. Acetelli: I could put up a fence with the extra 150 ft. and it would be
more desirable looking.
Cameron: Do you intend to erect a second plant?
Mr. Acetelli: Yes, later on.
Mr. Nern submitted photographs of the surrounding area to the commission for their
examination. He introduced a Mr. Gravendike who submits appraisels for the FHA. Mr.
Nern had had him appraise the property and he informed the Commission that the
additional rezoning would only depreciate the surrounding property slightly. It
would not effect the houses on Osmus too much due to the irregular line of the
industrial area.
Mr. Walker: In all fairness to all concerned we are aware of the fact
of the effect of industrial encroaching into the residential.
We would like to see a uniform line of industrial zoning and
we realize the property owners are concerned with how it will
effect their residences. We have reviewed this with the pur-
pose of establishing an industrial zone with a proper buffer
allowing the property fronting on Eight Mile Road to be
developed in size so that it would be in a useable size for
selling or development.
Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak?
Mr. V. Reddy: On behalf of the Northwestern Livonia Civic Association I
19938 Shadyside) think you know that we are working on an overall plan for this
area. We are really perturbed with this because for a mile
and a half the M-1 zone has been 300 ft. in depth ever since
Livonia became a city and I think in moving back you are esta-
blishing a precedent and it would only be fair to the
other property owners to let them move back also. We have many
areas zoned M-1 which are adjacent to RUF and R-1 so that
you are always going to be faced with the problem of industry
next to residential.
3184
Mr. Walker: Have you been able to spend any time on the other problem
1[40 which we discussed at the study session? (Mr. Walker was
referring to Petition 2-495 rezoning certain property
in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 3) .
Mr. Reddy: We are surveying all the property owners in the area and
have,at the present time, 60 petitions out now. (Mr. Reddy
presented a copy of the survey to Mr. Walker and the
Commission.)
Mr. Walker: This Commission would like to establish a very definite
industrial line along Eight Mile Road. This line won't
necessarily be a straight line because it will have to
go around already developed land. We would like to have
you keep this in mind while you are working on this.
Mr. Reddy: We are asking for opinions on various depths in our survey
in order to obtain the feelings of the people in the area.
Most of the land between Merriman and Farmington is owned
by the residential owners. They own the property their house
is on and also an additional acre or so. It will have to
be a pretty attractive plan to protect the people in the
back of industrial zoning. We gave them the liberty of
choosing something less and are not talking with them to
try and influence them.
1[40 Mr. McCullough: It may be wise to have a meeting with Mr. Acetelli and the
objecting property owners to determine if something could
be worked out to satisfy the majority.
Mr. Walker: The Commission would like to study it further among them-
selves and possibly meet with the petitioner and the other
property owners.
The question was asked what did the commission consider a fair frontage depth of
industrial zoning along Eight Mile Road?
Mr. Walker: At this time the Commission does not know the best frontage
depth. We do not want to determine it for just two parcels
and forget the rest of the prcperty. If we determine it to
be 300 ft, 400 ft. or 600 ft. , we would like to determine
the entire frontage along Eight Mile Road.
If there is no further discussion from the floor and
the Commission, the Chair will take this under advisement
at this time.
Mr. Nern asked that he be notified the next time this item was on the agenda. Mr.
Walker stated he would be notified by the secretary.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is Petition M-221 by F. Bracy,
1[40 agent for Sun Oil Company requesting approval to erect a
gasoline service station on property located on the Southwest
ccrner of Five Mile and Farmington Roads in the Northeast 1/4
of Section 21.
Mr. Clarence Jahn, 33533 Five Mile Road, was present for the petitioner.
3165
Mr. McCullough: It should be noted that the site plan presented failed to
1[40 comply with the gasoline station standards with regard to two •
matters: First, insufficient set back which the petitioner
has agreed to remedy. Secondly, the southerly approach is
not located at least 15 feet from the south property line.
The City Attorney has advised me that this particular standard
was not intended to cover the intersection of two mile roads
where no residence is located nearby. It was meant to cover
a situation where a residence is located on the lot adjacent
to the filling station and is intended to keep moving vehicles
at least this far from the residence.
The petitioner was informed also of the fact that any approval does not grant the
right to erect pump islands within the right of way of either Five Mile or Farmington
Roads as shown on the Master Thoroughfare Plan. Mr. McCullough suggested that
since the set back must be increased, the petitioner may also want to reconsider
placing the pump islands further south.
Mr. Jahn stated that he did not own the property on the corner at the present time
but if he received approval for the gas station he wanted to purchase it.
Mr. Walker: Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak?
The 70' x 70' parcel on the corner is too small for use con-
sidering the set back and off-street parking requirements and
IL: it is apparent that it would have to be developed with other
property around it.
Mr. Okerstrom: Is there enough area surrounding this parcel to be able to
leave it out and develop the other?
Mr. Jahn: No, there isn't sufficient room.
Mr. Okerstrom: Has the right-of-way on Five Mile and Farmington Roads been
dedicated?
Mr. McCullough: Only 33 ft. have been dedicated on both streets.
Mr. Okerstrom: Any fence of some type?
Mr. Jahn: No, but there are guard posts, like a bumper guard.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Kane, supported by Mr. Angevine, it was
#5-86-61 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held
on Tuesday, May 23, 1961 the City Planning Commission does
hereby grant Petition M-221 by F. Bracy, agent for Sun Oil
Company, requesting approval to erect a gasoline service station
on the Southwest corner of Five Mile and Farmington Roads in
the Northeast 1/4 of Section 21, and
1[40 FURTHER RESOLVED, notice of the above hearing was sent to property
owners within 500 feet, petitioner and City Departments as listed
in the Proof of Service.

A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Kane, Watson, Cameron, Anderson, Angevine, Okerstrom and Walker
NAYS: None
Mr. Walker: The motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is Petition Z-505 by E. P. Burnside
and Aaron Martin who are asking that the zoning classification
of property located on the West side of Middlebelt Road,
approximately 300 ft. North of Schoolcraft in the Southeast
1/4 of Section 23 be rezoned from RUFB to C-2.
Mr. Burnside was present.
Mr. McCullough asked Mr. Burnside to inform the commission what he intended to use
the property for after it is rezoned.
Mr. Burnside: I have had two or three inquiries in the past six months from
retail stores who are interested in this property. It is
zoned commercial across the street and on the opposite corner
there is a race track with a gas station on the remaining
corner.
Mr. McCullough: What will you do with the house immediately north of the
gas station?
Mr. Burnside: That will be removed. I am only speaking for Lot 14 and 15.
I am not speaking for Mr. Martin who owns the remaining lots
in petition.
Mr. Martin was not present.
It was determined that the rezoning of this property would further extend the
commercial 300 ft. north of the present commercial zone. Also that the property
across Middlebelt was zoned R-3 although platted into single homes.
Mr. Walker: Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak?
Mrs. Carolyn Wilson: I own Lot 16 immediately north of this property. I am
14087 Middlebelt Rd) definitely against this rezoning. I have lived there 15 years
and I'd like to see it remain as it is. There is traffic but
it doesn't bother me that much.
Mr. Edward Hoffman: (Representative from the Lyndon Meadows Civic Association)
30107 Bentley) Everything is so indefinite. Will it be a bar, or a beer
store. We have no assurance that it will be a super market.
Mr. Walker: If this Commission should rezone this property, there are
many uses allowed that would not necesaarily need the approval
of the planning commission.
Mrs. Wilaon: Mr. Martin informed me that he did not wish to go ahead with
this rezoning.
Mr. Cameron: I would like to hear from Mr. Martin on this petition since
we have been informed that he no longer wishes to go ahead
with this rezoning.
3187
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Okerstrom, supported by Mr. Angevine, it was
#5-87-61 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on
Petition Z-505 by E. P. Burnside and Aaron Martin for a change of
zoning in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 23 from RUFB to C-2, the
City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council
that Petition Z-505 be denied for the following reasons:
(1) the extended commercial would face the residential lots in
Lawr-El Subdivision located along the east side of Middlebelt Rd.
(2) the petitioners presently have commercial property which they
are not using;
(3) if granted it will tend to induce land owners to the north
to ask that the same treatment be applied to them, and
FURTHER RESOLVED, notice of the above hearing was published in
the official newspaper, The Livonian, under date of May 3, 1961 and
notice of which hearing was sent to The Detroit Edison Co. ,
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co. , Michigan Bell Telephone Co. , The
Consumers Power Co. , City Departments and petitioner as listed
in the Proof of Service.
Mr. Kane: I do not want to add to the resolution but I would like to
point out that there is a sufficient amount of C-2 along
Schoolcraft to the east and because of this, I do not see
any need for additional C-2 zoning.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Kane, Watson, Cameron, Anderson, Angevine, Okerstrom
and Walker
NAYS: None
Mr. Walker: The motbn is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is Petition M-222 by Carl W.
Riegal requesting approval for open-air display for rental
of trailers, etc. on property located on the South side of
Schoolcraft Road, approximately 200 feet East of Merriman
in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 26.
Mr. Riegal was present.
Mr. McCullough: We have been informed by the Department of Law that it will
be necessary for Mr. Riegal to have a separate building on
the lot, that he can not use the gas station as the building
required under ordinance.
Mr. Riegal: I did not realize this at the time the petition was submitted.
I did suggest fencing in the whole parcel with a six foot
fence as the ordinance requires and in that case my gas
station would be inside of the boundary lines.
The question was asked if this was to be strictly for the rental of trailers?
Mr. Riegal stated it would also include the rental of roto tillers, etc.
•
3188
Mr. Angevine: Won't a wall be required since this abuts residential property?
1[40 Mr. McCullough: Yes, it would be necessary.
Mr. Walker: When we first discussed this, we forwarded it to the City
Attorney for his opinion on whether or not a separate building
would be necessary. The petitioner had thought that the gas
station building would be sufficient. But the Department of
Law feels that this is a separate business from the gas
station.
Mr. Okerstrom: We couldn't allow open air sales without a building being
built?
Mr. McCullough: The Planning Commission can approve the petition providing
he meets the requirements and if necessary, he may have to go
to the zoning board of appeals.
Mr. Forrest: The requirement of the building would be within the juris-
diction of the Building Department and they would have to see
that this is done. You can approve the use and then he could
go to the zoning board of appeals to allow him to not to have
to build his building. Your approval would be contingent on
the required ordinance.
It was determined that a wall would be necessary on the east and south side of his
1[40 property.
Mr. Walker: Is there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak?
Mr. Wm. White: I would like to object. This is not a permissible use under
31341 Schoolcraft) C-1 zoning.
It was determined that open air sales are allowed in C-1 upon the approval of the
City Planning Commission.
Mr. Forrest: The zoning board of appeals can go along with hardship of the
land but not financial hardship.
Mr. White: I did not know of the ordinance requiring greenbelts being
amended so as to require a protective wall instead. I would
prefer a greenbelt rather than a wall.
Mr. McCullough: Would you gentlemen prefer that the petitioner go to the
zoning board of appeals first before making a decision?
Mr. Angevine: They might discuss it but they wouldn't act upon it without
the action of the Planning Commission first.
Mr. Walker: We could give a "denial without prejudice" and recommend that
the petitioner go to the zoning board of appeals.
1[40
Mr. McCullough: They wouldn't act upon it at all if the Planning Commission
denies it.
Mr. Anderson: It should be approved subject to the requirements of the
Ordinance being met.
3189
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Cameron supported by Mt. Anderson, it was
1[11; #5-88-61 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held
on Tuesday, May 23, 1961 the City Planning Commission does
hereby grant Petition M-222 by Carl W. Riegel requesting approval
for open-air display for rental of trailers, etc, and
FURTHER RESOLVED, notice of the above hearing was sent to property
owners within 500 feet, petitioner and City Departments as listed
in the Proof of Service.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Cameron, Watson, Anderson and Walker
NAYS: Angevine, Kane and Okerstrom
Mr. Walker: The motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
A-Mr. Wrightman, 8814 Georgetown, Detroit read an opinion of a court case on a similar
item to the commission.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is Petition Z-506 by the City
Planning Commission on its own motion to determine whether
or not to amend Sections 10.17 and 11.19 of Article 10.00
and 11.00 respectively. This is in relation tocommercial
set-back.
Mr. Walker: Is. there anyone in the audience who wishes to speak?
Mr. Whitson, representative of the Speedway Gas Company, asked for what reason was
this petition proposed by the City Planning Commission?
Mr. Walker: It would result in a better and a more uniform development
of commercial buildings and it will allow more area for front
parking. This was some of the thought behind it. Even with
presently required 40 ft. set back, it is being waivered for
different reasons and it results in a problem of off-street
parking.
Mr. Whitson: This would be required for gas stations also?
Mr. Walker: Anything in commercial zones.
11[:
Mr. Whitson: In building a gas station, we find it better to build the
station up front enough so that it will be on display to
the oncoming traffic. Sometimes the sign will not do the
job as much as a clean, neat service station can when
seen from the road. This would be difficult with a sixty-
foot setback.
Mr. McCullough: This may be a valid objection. This proposed amendment was
intended more for the store type commercial.
Mr. Walker: We may have to amend this to eliminate certain uses.
Mr. Whitson: If it is adopted, I believe that the gas stations would have
to go to the zoning board of appeals for a variance.
3190
Mr. Watson: This could apply, for instance, to a restaurant also. They
like to be seen.
1[40 Mr. David Lewis: There might be some possibility that you might prefer to have
parking at the rear instead of the front, for instance, an
office building.
Mr. McCullough: I would like to suggest that this be taken under advisement
and I will try to draw up a suitable amendment.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Watson, supported by Mr. Okerstrom, it was
#5-89-61 RESOLVED that, the City Planning Commission does hereby adjourn the
Public Hearing at approximately 9:40 p.m. on Tuesday, May 23, 1961
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Kane, Watson, Cameron, Anderson, Angevine, Okerstrom and
Walker
NAYS: None
Mr. Walker: The motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
Mr. Walker called a recess at approximately 9:41 p.m.
* * * * * * *
li: Mr. Walker called the 127th Regular Meeting to order at approximately 9:55 p.m. with
all those present now who were present at the time the recess was called.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is a request dated May 1, 1961
from Henry Koloff for one-year extension on Koloff's Sunnyside
Estates Subdivision located on the North side of Schoolcraft
Road and South of Five Mile approximatd.y 2,000 ft. East of
Levan Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 20 and the Southwest
1/4 of Section 21. Preliminary approval granted 3/1/60.
Special Meeting 5/16/61, item taken under advisement.
Mr. McCullough: I have not been able to contact Mr. Koloff in connection with
the unplatted land to the west of his subdivision. It might
be wise to take this under advisement for another week.
Mr. Walker: This item is taken under advisement until the next meeting.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is a request dated March 29, 1961
from David Lewis for one-year extension on Bai-Lynn Park
Subdivision 6, 7 and 8 located East of Merriman Road and
North of Schoolcraft Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 23.
Taken under advisement on 4/11/61, 4/18/61 and 5/16/61.
Mr. McCullough explained the situation in relation to the required turn-around
I:
driveways on certain lots fronting on Schoolcraft in the Bai-Lynn Park Subdivision.
Mr. Lewis is now asking for a year's extension on #6, 7 and 8. He has not erected
or installed the turn-arounds as yet although he has sold some of them to other
builders. He has informed the office of the Planning Commission that the other
builder has stated in writing that he will in turn put in the turn-around driveways
at the time the houses are sold.
•
3191
Mr. Lewis confirmed that he had sold three of the lots - the balance he has retained.
When the three lots were sold the turn-around agreement was sold along with the deed.
He read the condition of the deed to the commission. He further stated that the
reason for not installing the turn-arounds when the models were built is that the
purchaser is apt to think that the turn-around is included in all models.
Mr. Walker: This question was asked of the City Attorney and he said that
with this in the resolution of approval that it would be
necessary that the turn-around be installed before the building
is occupied. The condition that is in the approval of the
plat pertaining to the turn-around would be valid and binding.
(this was also stated in a letter Mr. Lewis forwarded to the
City in July, 1959.)
Mr. Cameron: You sold three lots; are they subject to the turn-around
driveways also?
Mr. Lewis: The purchaser is obligated to put in the turn-arounds, it is
in the deed.
Mr. McCullough: The City has no way of compelling the buyer to do so. It is
a covenant to the buyer and not to the City. We can not force
them to do so. It is a contract between you, Mr. Lewis, and
the purchaser. In other words, you could be the only one that
could force them to do so. The City can not.
1[40 How soon will the hard backs of this subdivision be in if this
extension is granted?
Mr. Lewis: Immediately.
Mr. Walker: Do you have any objection to putting the turn-arounds in now?
Mr. Lewis: Yes, because they are models. When they are sold we will put
in the turn-arounds. The buyer will get the impression that
they are included in the price if they are installed now.
Mr. Walker: Is that the main reason for not putting in the turn arounds
now?
Mr. Lewis: Yes.
It was determined that final approval will be asked for Subdivision #6 and 7. But
not #8.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Angevine, supported by Mr. Kane, it was
#5-90-61 RESOLVED that, pursuant to the 127th Regular Meeting held on
Tuesday, May 23, 1961, the City Planning Commission does hereby
grant the request submitted by M . David Lewis for a one year
extension on Bai-Lynn Park Subdivisions #6, 7 and 3, subject
1[40to any conditions prevailing.
