Mr, Ronald Stempien, representing the petitioners, urged the Commission to grant this waiver. Mr., Walker asked Mr. Stempien to fill the Commission in with data pertaining to the petition for waiver use. Mr.. Stempien advised that it is his client's intention to erect a coin operated auto wash building on Plymouth Road as shown rn the layout ' submitted with the petition, 'to provide stalls for washing vehicles, storage space, utility rooms, etc. He further stated that he realized that the major problem to the municipality would be traffic so he had petitioner, Mr. Gegich, meet with Lt. Thorne of the Livonia Police Department Traffic Bureau to ask him to review the plan and give an indication of his feeling in the matter. Lt. Thorne thought the plan is cde: uate and would not cause an undue overflow of traffic; he did su;gas.; that the exit driveway on the east side of the property be narro- :d 10' and the access driveway be widened gay 10'.; he also eugges..ed that the utility room be moved so the method of bringing vehiclas in would give a wider swing. Mr. Stempien advised the Commis=,ion he felt this would be an economic asset further stating that his clients are investing $30,000.00 to construct the building and $20,000„00 to cover personal property equipment. He stated that 4853 no elevation has been set for the building and they will comply with any reasonable request to dress up the building, as well as a landscap- ing program; that the entire area *mould be surfaced with bituminous asphalt concrete; and that it is the intention of the owners to have a full time attendant during the hours the auto wash is open. Mr 0 Walker asked if these petitioners have a similar type of operation somewhere else‘ hr. Stempien replied that there is another similar operation in Lincoln Park'but being operated under a different firm name, Lincoln Park Auto 'e7a3h; he stated that it is a separate corporation from the Livonia Coin WashD Inc. The other operation is located at 1511 Southfield Road at Lhe corner of Southfield and Lafayette. Mt.. Wr.,ghtman asked if this is a do-it-yourself car wash. Mr, Stempien replied yes; he said the patron driving the car would pull it into a stall, put 250 into a machine and receive an allotted number of minutes of steam, etc. 1!r0 Wr ghtman asked how long petitioners operation in Lincoln Park is open0 Mr. Stempien stated 24 hours, Mr,, Tent asked how long this establishment would be open. Mr„ Stempien said it was petitioners' intention to leave it opened s.s long as there was sufficient business to warrant it, Mr,, Tent Mated that in Detroit this type of operation has created • teen-cgers' hang out. • :.erpien said petitioners have had no such problems. i'r, Tent asked if petitioners were aware that another car wash has been proposed next to this one, Tly, Stempien said they knew there was one near by. Mr. Tent asked if petitioners thought 3 car washes could survive in t'ae area. it-, 'Stempien stated that the fact that'his clients are willing to invest $500000000 should answer that question. Pro Tent asked what the price of the car wash would be. • Stempien replied 250. I 2, 4854 Mr, Pollock stated if they are open 24 hours will they have an attendant on full time, Mr, Stempien said yes, but if there is no activity in the early hours of the morning they would close it dawn. He further explained that they would have separate facilities for drive-through car wash, where the patron stays in the car and has his car washed for 500, • At this point in the meeting Mr. Gegich, one of the petitioners, explained the difference between their proposed car wash as compared to those existing in the area, Mr. Wrightman asked if petitioners had determined what the building would be made of, whether it is going to be full length building or a roof with petitions. Mr. Gegich stated it would be a full roof with petitions dividing the stalls, would be made of block and brick - no prefab, Mr. Wrightman asked if they would have steam facilities. Mr, Gegich said no steam at all - it is a detergent mixed with water. Mr, Walker asked if there was anyone wishing to be heard in this matter. Mr. Dufour Superintendent of Parks and Recreation, stated that on the City's Master Plan approximately 40 acres in Section 33 have been ear- marked for a park site, asking the Commission not to allow this property to encroach on the aforesaid park site. Mr. Hull advised that if the entire parcel were involved in the car wash there would be a conflict but the auto wash only involves a small portion of the parcel and does not come near the proposed park site. Mr. Walker asked if there is anyone else wishing to be heard on this item. Mr. H. L. Andrews, 11414 Ingram, Livonia asked to go on record as opposing this petition inasmuch as it depreciates the value of their property, Parcel 33C, and might be detrimental to the immediate vicinity. Mr. Walker stated that he did not have a communication from Lt. Thorne but that he had met with him after petitioner had met with him; that he had indicated that he was concerned with the traffic problem along Plymouth Road, as is the Planning Commission. Mr. Walker advised that this item would be taken under advisement. l 3 4855 Mr. Walker announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-6-2-14 by Sun Oil Company requesting a waiver use permit to operate a gasoline service station at the southeast corner of Eight Mile Road and Farmington Road in Section 3. Mr, Light, agent for the Sun Oil Company was present. Mr, Tent asked if the Sun Oil organization had made a land use study to see if 4 gasoline stations at one intersection could be supported. Mr. Light replied, yes that they had made an exhaustive study, and had no doubt about the profitability of that corner. The Commission discussed a gasoline service station study prepared by the Planning Department with Mr. Light. This showed that at present there is no intersection in Livonia with four gasoline service stations. Mr. Light stated that they are investing $100,000.00 and Sun Oil would not do this unless they had made extensive studies and were sure this corner would take four stations. He further stated that Sun Oil Company does not have any closed gasoline station in "this" District which covers five counties. Mr. Pollock asked if this station is being purchased and operated by Sun Oil Company of Philadelphia. Mr. Light stated they would own land, buildings upon the land, but the station would be operated by an independent businessman. Mr. Moser suggested that Mr. Light get together with Mr. Hull in an attempt to seek virgin property instead of putting the station on an intersection where three already exist, Mr. Light stated that the Sun Oil Company's real estate department had made an exhaustive study over the past year of this particular property, He stated that they felt this was a good corner, Mr, Tent and Mr. Light discussed the reasons why gasoline stations fail - it was Mr. Light's contention that 85% of service station dealers fail because of poor money management - not the lack of business. Mr, Clcrence Lee, 20411 Farmington Road, advised the Commission that he was opposed to this station, stating that he felt the property could be put to better use. Mrs. Croyts, whose mother owns property in the area, expressed concern that theproperty value would lessen in the adjacent area. Mr. Moser advised her that this use would not lessen the value of adjacent property. He added that this parcel is zoned for this type of use, t Mr. Walker stated that this item would be taken under advisement. • 4. 4856 Mr, Walker announced that the hext item on the agenda is Petition 66-2-3-3 by Leslie Ferguson requesting to vacate the northerly 2' of the 12' easetnettt north of and adjacent to the south line of Lot 224 of Rosedale Meadows Subdivision in Section 34, Mr. Walker advised that the Commission had received letters from the utilities objecting to this vacation, He suggested that Mr. Hull get together with the petitioner to straighten out these objections and then return to the Commission with this matter. Mr. Walker advised that this item would be taken under advisement. Mr. Walker announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition 66=6-1-13 by Harry B. Wright for Mrs. Finkell and Mr. and Mrs. Wright, requesting to rezone property located on the east side of Melvin Avenue between Seven Mile Road and Clarita Avenue; Parcel Bla from R1A to C-2 for a general commercial development, and Parcel B1B from R1A to R-7 for a multiple housing development, in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 11, Mr. Walker advised Mr, Ponder, representing petitioners, that the Planning Commission has made study of the petition and that same is in direct con- flict with the Master Study of thearea as submitted to the Commission by the Planning Department. He stated that he would like petitioners to amend their petition to conform with the Master Study, and the Commission could hold this item under advisement until this is taken care of. I Mr. Ponder stated that he has also studied the Master Plan and believes that this petition and the proposed change would fit into the Master Plan for the area very well and would not be detrimental to it, Mr. Walker asked Mr,Ponder if there was definite use in mind for commercial. Mr. Ponder replied, yes. Mr. Tent stated that he feels if the Commission makes an'exception with this petition to change from the Master Plan development, it would have to do so on others. Mr. Ponder stated that the use intended would be compatible; either a furniture store or restaurant on the northerly piece, and the southerly piece is self-explanatory. Mr. Walker asked if there were any further questions, Mr, and Mrs. Edward Covert, 29824 Pickford, Livonia, Michigan asked what PS zoning meant and did the Master Plan suggest PS. Mr. Walker explained. 5. 4857 They inquired as'to whether or not apartments would be allowed, what the rentals would be, would road be paved would there be a traffic problem, and how wculd it effect the sutroundiftg property. Mr. Walker assured them that before any such thing could be constructed it would have to come befote the Commission with site plan, showing • buildings, ingress, egress, etc. and there would be a public hearing. Mr. Hull stated that the dividing line between residential and non- residential districts has been set as PS which is the most compatible to residential districts. He stated that PS did not generate a large • quantity of traffic, only slightly more than single family residential. Mr. Hull further stated that buildings are usually of good quality and aesthetically pleasing; it was felt that this would be a logical strip of land for PS zoning. Mr. Covert asked if Melvin Avenue would be paved. Mr. Walker stated that 1/2 of the street would hae to be paved. He stated that the Commission approves the zoning, theft the site plan, 'then this must go before Council where improvements, etc. are worked out. • He stated that only the portion in front of improvement would be paved. 1: Mr. and Mrs. David Bushing, 18965 Melvin, stated they live across the street on Melvin and are concerned with the portion of the parcel being zoned commercial as they would not like to see a furniture store or restaurant across the street. They stated they did not understand why this could not be made residential instead of commercial as they felt they would lose the investment they had in their home. Mr. Ponder stated that financing for residential construction was difficult to get, Mr. Walker stated that this matter would be taken under advisement. Mr. Walker announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-6-1-12 by Rev, Lyle Adams, President of Middlebelt Nursing Centre, Inc. requesting to'rezone property located on the east side of Middlebelt Road, approximately1600 feet south of Five Mile Road in Section 24 from RMF to PS. Rev. Lyle Adams was present and showed a sketch of the proposed Nursing ' center which would cost approximately $750,000400, with 160 beds, 2-story, basement, He stated that they had made a change in their plans since filing the petition, that being to make ingress and egress on Middlebelt Road and none on Jamison, which could be used as an alternate plan. He further stated that he'had discussed these plans with Father Wolber of St. Genevieve's Parish, who owns adjacent land, and he indicated that he is in accord with the type of development proposed here, 6. 4858 Mr, Pollock asked if his church had the property to the south. Rev. Adams stated that his church had the Si acre parcel adjacent to the land in questtahj die stated that the proposed nursing centre would be a profit corporation. Mr. Tent asked how many parking spaces he proposed. Rev. Adams replied that they would conform to the ordinance. Mr. Hull said he would need 1 for every 4 beds. Rev. Adams told the Commission that they would have employees on a 24-hour basis - on different shifts. Mr. Belisle, 14968 Cavour, Livonia, asked if there would be a greenbelt or sidewalk between the center and the residences. Mr. Walker said a greenbelt. Mrs. Belisle stated that if the traffic would all be handled on Middlebelt Road, none on Jamison, she was not opposed to this nursing I center. Mr. Hull stated that the zoning petition was being considered at this meeting and that a waiver use petition for the entire parcel was also filed by the petitioner and would be published in the next notice in An attempt to have both petitions come before Council together. However, some acknowledgment that this land would be used for a convalescent home and nothing else would be appreciated. Rev. Adams 'sta ted that in speaking for his organization this would be the use, stating that this area will be a fine development over ' an area of 17 or 18 acres, including St. Genevieve's Catholic Church, the Trinity Baptist Church and the proposed nursing center. Mr. Pollock said he would like the Commission to receive something in writing from the abutting churches that they want a nursing home on this property. Mr. Walker stated that the Commission file already contained a letter from the Trinity Baptist Church, Mr. Walker asked if Rev. Adams could have archetictural plane of this building at the time the Commission acts on this matter. 7. 4859 Rev. Adams said such plans are not in existence as yet. Mr. Walker suggested that the necessary papers be prepared for dedication of right-of-way for Middlebelt Road to the City so this can be taken care of in conjunction with approval of this matter. Mr. Tent asked that architectural plans be brought in at the time the waiver use petition is brought before the Commission. Mr. Walker stated this matter would be taken under advisement.

Miss Goodman, of 13452 Surrey, asked what was across the street from this property and was advised a Veterinarian. She then inquired what would happen to,the other side of Farmington Road. Mr. Walker answered, nothing. He informed Miss Goodman that this was to correct an error made when the new Zoning Ordinance was adopted, that this property should have been zoned M-1 at that time.
