"We certify that the foregoing resolution was duly adopted at a
meeting of the City Planning Commission held on Tuesday, May 15,
1962 by the following vote:
AYES: Cameron, Greene, Anderson, Kane, Okerstrom, Watson and
Walker
NAYS: None
NOT VOTING: Milligan
Mr. Walker declared that the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
Mr. Walker presided over the meeting for the balance of the evening.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is a Petition by the City Planning
Commission, on its own motion, to determine whether or not
to amend Part V of the Master Plan of the City of Livonia,
entitled, "Master School and Park Plan" so as to designate
IL'
Parcel 02N1a, 02N1b and 02N2 for future public purposes.
These properties are located in the Southwest 1/4 of Section
2 on the north side of Seven Mile Road immediately west of
Sunset.
Mr. Walker asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak?
There was a brief discussion after which it was determined that this item be taken
under advisement until more information can be received as to the necessity of
designating these three parcels.
Mr. Walker declared that this item would be taken under advisement.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is a Petition by the City Planning
Commission, on its own motion, to determine whether or not
to amend Part I of the Master Plan of the City of Livonia,
entitled, "Master Thoroughfare Plan" so as to reduce the
width of Myrna Avenue between Loveland and Farmington Road
in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 15 from 86 ft. to 60 ft. ;
and in addition, relocate said street in the Southwest 1/4
of Section 15 between Loveland and Farmington Road.
Mr. McCullough explained that there was a subdivision proposed for this area and this
action would reduce Myrna down to sixty (60) feet and would make the width of the
reet conform with the street to the east.
I. Milligan asked if it would be possible that the City would need this road as an
ft'. road in the future?
Mr. McCullough answered that generally speaking since it goes through a subdivision
that has large lots, it would not be as necessary as if it was a subdivision with
smaller lots.
.
3464
. Milligan stated he wondered if,as the city grows, it may need 86 ft. wide streets.
. Watson felt that since this street curved as much as it did, it may be wise to
educe it.
Mr. Greene stated that the purpose of a half mile road, as Myrna is, was toserve
as an intermediate to the mile roads. He did not feel that this was necessary in
this case, and that the character of the land and the character of the development
should come into the decision made by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Walker stated that with the deep ravines to the north of this half mile road,
there .would •probably.never"be any ncrth and south streets running to this half mile
road. This would cut off 90% of the traffic into the half mile road. He felt it
was reasonable to reduce this from 86 ft. wide to 60 ft. wide.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Anderson, supported by Mr. Kane, it was
j5-93-62 RESOLVED that, pursuant to the provisions of Act 285 of the Public Acts
of Michigan, 1931, as amended, the City Planning Commission of the
City of Livonia having duly held a public hearing on Tuesday, May 15,
1962 for the purpose of amending Part I of the Master Plan of the
City of Livonia, entitled, "Master Thoroughfare Plan", the same is
hereby amended as follows:

Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is Application TA-87 by William
Jamens requesting permission to remove a stockpile of topsoil
located on the east side of Merriman Road, approximately
300 ft. south of Eight Mile Road in the Northwest 1/4 of
Section 2.
This matter is to be heard only in the event the Planning
Commission received a favorable report from the Burea of
Inspection and the Engineering Department indicating that the
conditions complained about have been remedied. Public
Hearing, 5/8/62, item tabled.
IL: Mr. McCullough stated he understood there was still a large pocket of water on the
property and that the applicant has been noticed taking topsoil off illegally.
Mr. Okerstrom asked what was going to happen to the 8 ft. drop in the parcel?
Mr. Howard Middlewood, Acting Chief of the Bureau of Inspection stated he did not
know. They started to grade the night before but there is still a deep pocket in
•
3466
the Southeast corner which is a water hole and very dangerous.
Mr. Okerstrom asked Mr. Middlewood if he felt it was 3 ft. under grade? Mr.
Middlewood answered that there was quite a bit of topsoil left in the center. He
did not know what the final grade would be. When the Engineering Department checks
it then they will notify them. He felt it was still a long ways from being completed.
Mr. Greene asked if the applicant was still• hauling out topsoil in spite of this?
And what is done in this case?
Mr. Forrest answered that the person is prosecuted within the limit of the law.
Mr. Greene asked if a letter had been written to Mr. Strasser, City Engineer?
Mr. McCullough answered that Mr. Strasser had indicated to him that he would be
present tonight to discuss this matter with the commissioners.
Mr. Nikorak, 20315 Merriman Road, stated the petitioner worked two days in the area,
but the situation is about the same. They have a 15 ft. drop on the southwest corner
of the area. The police stopped them after they had removed one load.
Mr. Walker stated this item would be taken under advisement.
Mr. McCullough: The next itemson the agenda are Application TA-86 and TA-89
by John Migut who is requesting permission to remove
I: ' sand, gravel and topsoil from an area north of Seven Mile
Road and west of Farmington in the Southeast 1/4 of Section
4. Public Hearings for these two items were held on
Tuesday, May 8, 1962 and both items were taken under advise-
ment until a meeting could be held on the site with the
petitioner, adjoining property owners and several of the
commissioners.
Several of the property owners who were present at the public hearing were present now.
There was a brief discussion during which Mr. Watson explained to those present
what had happened.at the meeting held on the site with Mr. Migut and several property
owners. He stated that after examining the area, it was found that approximately
150 ft. north of Seven Mile Road there would probably be only 18" of dirt that
could be removed, whereas when you get closer to Seven Mile Road, three to four
feet can be removed.
The main objection tothe removal seem to be the sand blowing after the removal of
the topsoil. It was suggested that possibly in those areas where the sand will
blow, no topsoil is removed: until October. In addition, that the reseeding be done
immediately after the topsoil is removed.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Watson, supported by Mr. Kane, it was
#5-95-62 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on Tuesday,
M,ay 8, 1962, the City Planning Commission does hereby grant Application
TA-88 by John Migut who is requesting permission to remove sand,

Mr. Walker declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is a request from Woodbury Building
Company for a year's extension on the preliminary approval
of Arbor Estates Subdivision located in the Southwest 1/4
of Section 31. Item taken under advisement at the
Regular Meeting 4/24/62; Special Meeting 5/8/62.
1190 There was a brief discussion during which it was determined that a stub street
should be designated going north from the area designated as outlot A. Mr. Bleznak
stated the reason this area was not included in the subdivision at the time it was
given preliminary approvalwaa because this property ie under litigation. This stub
will assure those property owners north of this outlot of not being landlocked.
It was further suggested that a street plan showing the proposed streets for this
subdivision and that of the proposed subdivision immediately south be made for the
next meeting.
f
3469
Mr. Walker declared that this item would .be.taken under advisement.
III Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is a determination of whether
or not the "Quik Drive-In Restaurant" is a drive-in. Opinion
to be received from the Department of Law.
Mr. Forrest submitted and read the opinion forwarded from the Department of Law.
There was a lengthy discussion during which several members of the commission stated
their viewpoints on whether or not this was a drive-in. Mr. Anderson felt it was
due to the numerous parking spaces designated on the plot plan. Mr. Greene did not
feel it was a drive-in since there would be no car hops. He stated further that
his point was that this goes back to the lack of definition of a drive-in. He felt
the description of a drive-in as stated in the zoning ordinance is faulty. It would
have to be further defined.
Mr. Forrest stated the dictionary defines the word "drive-in" very clearly. Mr.
Greene read this description to the members present, "Arranged and equipped so as
to allow patrons to view a performance or to be served while remaining in their
automobile".
It was suggested that an amendment be made to the zoning ordinance defining the
use "drive-in" and also establishing certain standards.
Mr. Forrest stated he felt on the basis of the opinion received from the Department
IEof Law, the Bureau of Inspection should be able to make a determination. He did not
feel it was under the Planning Commission's jurisdiction. The Inspection Department
in conjunction with the Law Department should make the decision.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Anderson, supported by Mr. Kane, it was
#5-97-62 RESOLVED that, pursuant to the 139th Regular Meeting held on Tuesday,
May 15, 1962 and to the 143rd Special Meeting held on Tuesday, May
8, 1962, on a determination of whether or not the "Quik Drive-In
Restaurant" is a drive-in, the City Planning Commission does hereby
resolve that for the reasons given by the Department of Law in their
letter dated May 14, 1962 to the Bureau of Inspection, this item
be removed from the agenda of the City Planning Commission.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Cameron, Greene, Watson, Anderson, Kane, Okerstrom and Walker
NAYS: None
NOT VOTING: Milligan
Mr. Walker declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is Petition Z-533 by the CPC
on its own motion to determine whether or not to amend
Article 14.00 by deleting Sections 14.02 (a) and (j) and
1[40 amend Article 15.00 by deleting Section 15.02 (e) of the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Livonia. Public Hearing
11/21/61, item taken under advisement. Special Meeting
5/8/62, item taken under advisement.
Mr. Greene explained briefly to Mr. Milligan a previous petition before the Planning
Commission which was a request for permission to erect a drive-in theatre. It had
been denied. This present petition will delete drive-in theatres from the industrial
3470
. III
zones but before this can be done, it must be determined where this use will be
allowed. He continued by stating that one of the big arguments against -being in the
industrial zone is because industrial property is very valuable> But this- land is
standing idle and there is a possibility that this land could be used for.-.an-interim
use. He felt that a drive-in theatre would not be such a costly investment .as. an
industrial plant and when the time came that the property is wanted by industry,
it could be purchased by the industry interested in the property. In the meantime,
the property would be used.
Mr. Okerttrom felt that the tax basis for a drive-in theatre is a small amount
compared what can be derived from an industrial plant. If a drive-in theatre
is erected it might put the cost of the property so high that the interested party
would look elsewhere.
It:was .determined that this item would be taken under advisement for furtherstudy.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Okerstrom, supported by Mr. Watson, it was
#5-98-62 RESOLVED that, the City Planning Commission does hereby approve
the minutes for the meeting held on Tuesday, April 24, 1962 except
for that member who was not present, he abstain from voting.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Cameron, Greene, Watson, Anderson, Kane, Okerstrom and
IEWalker
NAYS: None
NOT VOTING: Milligan
Mr. Walker declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is a proposed subdivision
called the Kingsbury Heights Subdivision #3 to be located
south of Six Mile Road and east of Newburgh Road in the
Northwest 1/4 of Section 17.
There was a brief discussion during which it was determined that the developer will
be asked to have access road along Newburgh Road and in addition a north/south street
to be included going north to the school property.
Mr. McCullough stated he would inform the developer of these changes. This item
will have a public hearing in the very near future.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is a proposed industrial road
continuing north from the proposed Merriman Industrial
Subdivision to the designated Industrial Road running .
east/west.
Mr. McCullough informed the Commission that Mr. Angelo DiPonio, who owns property
I:
north of the Merriman Industrial Subdivision has offered to put in a north/south
road from the proposed subdivision across his own property up to the designated
Industrial Road if the City in turn would improve the designated industrial road.
Mr. McCullough stated that this would probably necessitate asking the property owners
who own property upon which the industrial road is designated, to donate this land
to the City if the City will put the minimum of improvement on the road.
Mr. Walker felt that a study should be made of the entire area in order to determine
d
3471
IIIwhether or not this would open up the whole area as much as the-industrial._rad€.wigra44.
The suggestion was made that Mr. DiPonio put in a cul-de-sac upon his property
instead of a road going north and south.
Mr. Walker stated this item would be taken under advisement until a further study
could he made on the whole area.
Mr. McCullough: The next item on the agenda is the Biltmore Estates Subdivisior
requesting final approval. This subdivision is located
on the north side of Schoolcraft Road between Yale Road and
Levan Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 20 and the South-
west 1/4 of Section 21.
Mr. McCullough stated that some street names would have to be changed. The developer
has submitted deed restrictions with relation to no detached garages on lots with
less than 110 ft. in depth.
Mr. Norman Cohn, representative for the Biltmore Building Company, stated one
property owner had objected to their plat at the public hearing because it was felt
by the owner that his property would be landlocked at the rear by the proposed sub-
division. An agreement had been reached between the owner of the property and the
developer whereby the property owner would be allowed to purchase one lot in the
subdivision for $50.00 which is fully improved with water and sewer. Engineering
plans were approved and at the present time all improvements have been installed.
(0 Mr. Cohn concluded by stating.that the final plat conforms exactly with the preliminary
plat:
Mr. McCullough stated that the developer has complied with all conditions so as not
to landlock any property. There are only a few of the street names to be changed.
Mr. Watson did not feel that this final plat should be approved until it has been
checked against the preliminary plat.
Mr. Kane felt that approval could be given to the final plat, subject to certain
conditions.
Mr. McCullough stated the developer has informed him they did not want to put in
any restrictions as to the minimum house size.
Mr. Cohn stated that their reason for this is because they have sold approximately
55 houses since the model was erected. The model has a little over 1,000 ft. with
an attached garage. He said it was true that Koloff Builders have upgraded their
homes in the area.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Kane, supported by Mr. Cameron, it was
#5-99-62 RESOLVED that, final plat of the Biltmore Estates Subdivision located
in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 20 be given final approval, subject,
1[1 however, to the following conditions:
(a) that the City Planner examines the final plat to determine whether
or not it conforms with the plat given preliminary approval;
(b) that the City Attorney examines the submitted deed restrictions
and gives approval to same; and
(c) subject to certain street name changes; and
v
347 /
FURTHER RESOLVED, inasmuch as it appears on the records that tentative
3 approval of said proposed plat was given by the City Planning Commission
September 20, 1962; and it further appearing that said proposed plat
together with the plans and specifications for improvements therein have
been approved by the Department of Public Works under date of August 18,
1961; and it further appearing that a surety bond in the amount of
$23,600.00 and a cash bond in the amount of $144,400.00 to cover the
installation of improvements have been filed in the office of the City
Clerk under date of May 15, 1962; such bonds having been approved by C.
J. Pinto, Assistant City Attorney on May 14, 1962, it would therefore
appear that all the conditions necessary to the release of building
permits have been met and the Building Department is hereby so notified.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Cameron, Kane, Okerstrom and Walker
NAYS: Greene, Watson and Anderson
NOT VOTING: Milligan
Mr. Walker declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
Mr. Walker informed the commission that he had been given information that a proposed
park,on the order of an amusement park, is contemplated for property located on the
north side of Schoolcraft west of Farmington Road. It consists of thirty-eight (38)
acres and would include a golf course, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, ice skating
rink and a roller skating rink. At the present time this area is being used as the
Livonia Gun Club. The owners are going to contact the City Council and the School
Board. They would like the Planning Commission to look into this matter and determine
under which zoning it could be used.
It should be noted for the records the reason Mr. Milligan did not vote on any of
the scheduled items was because .-.his appointment is not official until the next regular
