Petitioner , Vincent Joseph Burton of 30595 Beechwood, Garden City, was
present and was represented by Mr. Clarence Charest, attorney.
Mr. Charest advised the Commission that his client is the ownet of the lots
in question; that on Lot #1, adjacent to petitiostts property, is a Chicken
Delyf_;ht which makes it almost impossible for him to use his property for
residential purposes because of odors, etc. therefrom, and stated that this
was the reason for the request of change in zoning to the C-1 classifica-
tion to erect retail stores.
Mr. Wrightman Esked what type of business petitioner anticipated for this
property.
Mr. (lharest stated petitioner would build along the rear of the property.
He stated that petitioner was a plumbing contractor and would put his office
in tie building, which would have additional shells to be rented,
Mrs , Singer inquired as to the present use of lots 6 to 11.
Mr. Charest advised that they were residential at the present time.
Mr. Wrightm an asked if petitioner would have outdoor storage, etc.
Mr. Charest answered, no.
Mr. Tent asked where cars would be parked.
,
4896
Mr. Charest stated parking would be in front of building - in accordance
with the present code.
Mrs. Chandler asked Mr. Charest if he realized that if there is erroneous
parking use he would need a waiver.
Mr. Charest answered, yes; but that petitioner contemplates parking along
the front; does not expect to run into problems.
Mr. Moser asked what the depth of the property is.
Z='. Burton replied, 180 feet.
Mr. Moser asked what size building would be erected.
Mr. Charest said they had no site plan at present but they would have the
necessary parking.
Miss Geraldine Hicks, 28535 Five Mile Road, stated that she represented
her grandmother whocxans lots 6 and 7 right next door to the property in
question. She asked who the petitioner could rent the property to.
14
to Mr. Walker advised that this would depend upon the uses in a C-1 district.
M-. Hull read the uses from the zoning ordinance.
Miss Hicks asked if people in the surrounding area could object to certain
tenants.
Mr. Walker advised her that they could not - once this petition passes the
Commission the only thing that could be complained of would be the use i
it is a nuisance. He advised her that she could object to the petition ac
such t.;night.
Miss Hicks then went on record as an objector.
Mr. Walker advised that this item would be taken under advisement.
Mr. Walker announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-7-1-22
by Rodney Kropf for Frank J. Volk, requesting to rezone
property located on the south side of Margareta Drive
in Section 7 from R5C to R7 for erection of multiple dwel.:_ngs.,
Mrs. Chandler asked Mr. Kropf if he represented the original people who
owned this property when they tried to build a cluster subdivision.
Mr.. Kropf answered no - he believed it was Mr. Ponder. He said they
ran into engineering problems when it reached Council and subsequr:r. .
the property was sold to his client.
Mc. Walker advised that a petition had been received from Melody ?'a -)_
Subdivision with regard to this petition.
4897
Mr. Kropf advised the audience that the owner of the property is a builder;
he built Golf view Subdivision; that Mr. Volk has no intention of running
traffic into Melody Subdivision. He suggested that the City Planning
Commission take this matter under advisement so he can meet with the
Civic Association and the planners, to work out any problems; that the
proposed multiple dwellings would not be a nuisance but a first class
multiple dwelling; he stated that it would be a high tax base with few
children. He stated that to the west of the property will be the expressway;
to the east is a golf course; to the south is undeveloped property; and
advised that the traffic pattern could be worked out to avoid Melody Manor
Subdivision,
Mr. Krcpf further stated there would be enough green area, trees, etc, to
hide theuse of the property which would be approximately in the m_'_ddle of
the property. He again stated he would like to meet with representatives
of the civic association on the matter.
Mr. Wrightman expressed his opinion that the parcel involved is a very large
piece of property. He said Mr. Kropf indicated that only a portion of the
property would be used for this operation and asked what the balance of the
parcel would be used for.
Mr. Kropf stated that under the ordinance, multiple dwellings must have
greenbelt and open space around perimeter, that only the interior portion
will be used.
Mr. Wrightman asked hou many units would be constructed.
Mr. Kropf stated that b7 the ordinance he can build 11 or 12 per acre.
Mr. Walker advised Mr. Kropf there were 108 signatures on the petition
and approximately one-third of those people were in the audience tc abject.
Mr. Joseph H. Lemieux, who signed the petition as President of the Civic
Association, spoke for the organization stating his agreement that they
should meet with Mr. Kropf; that the complaints were set forth in their
letter; but added that there was now an additional complaint, that being
Mr. Kropf's statement that the multiple dwellings would service the
community college. He went on to say that his association was in receipt
of a ld ter from the community college stating that their need in this
regard was nill.
Mr. Walker advised that this matter would be taken under advisement.
Mr. Walker announced that the next item on the agenda was Petition 6C.-7-1-17
by Dooley and Wilder requesting to rezone property located
on the northeast corner of Farmington Road and Curtis Avenue
in the northwest 1/4 of Section"l0 from R-1 to P.S. to permit
construction of law offices and medical or dental offices.
Mr. Walker asked if anyone was present to be heard.
4898
ILMr. Dooley spoke in behalf of himself, Mr. Wilder and Dr. Sullivan. He
advised the Commission that they wished to build a law office and dental
office. He informed them of the reasons they wished to relocate their
office; i.e. the forthcoming expressway, future service drive and race
track traffic, etc. He said it would be approximately one and one-half
years before they actually build, that they would be the only occupants,
there would be no other tenants. He had photographs which he showed the
Commission of the proposed building, which he felt would not depreciate
the value of any adjacent residential dwellings.
Mr. Tent suggested the possibility of locating elsewhere inasmuch as there
is quite a bit of land already Zoned P.S. which is vacant; in fact approx-
imately 40%, as Mr. Hull stated, was vacant. Mr. Tent suggested a location
such as Livonia Mall.
Mr. Dooley said he had already checked into such locations to find that they
cannot afford to locate on such property due to the high cost of the land,
it is a case of pure economics.
Mr. Tent stated that with so much vacant P.S. land already in the City
he coulc' not see granting petitions such as this for new property not
included in the Master Plan.
Mr. Wrightman asked where the photographs of the proposed building were
taken.
Mr. Dooley stated it is the office of Dr. Bernard Lyons on Grand River in the
t
City of Detroit.
Mrs. Chandler asked Mr. Hull if there were parcels of land which were not
yet rezoned to P.S . in the City but which were possibly being thought of
along these lines.
Mr. Hull stated there are areas which it is felt would be better zoned
to P.S. or Commercial than the property in this petition.
Mr. Walker asked Mr. Dooley if they had an option on the property.
Mr. Dooley answered yes, with the understanding that if the property is not
rezoned petitioner will forfeit what they had paid.
Mr. Frank M. Gray, 7335 Puritan Avenue, Detroit 38, Michigan stated'he
owned lots 211 and 212 on Westmore and if this petition is approved, rather
than build his home as planned, he will sell.
Mr, John "arkovich, 18248 Farmington Road, Livonia, stated that he owned
property to the north of the premises in question; that he bought his
home two years ago and had to follow all the City's rules and regulations
for building in his particular zoning classification; invested approximately
$20,000,00; and stated that if Mr. Dooley can come along and buy at
residential prices and rezone to P.S. thus making a gain,the residents
would lose what Dooley would gain. He said if this happens he will sell.
4899
Mr. Ray Whitman, 18234 Farmington Road, Livonia questioned the width of the
lot mentioned in the card (60*) as against the 84' width of the property in
question. Mr. Dooley explained that the card explained the minimum width of
the lot for the particular classification.
Mr. Whitman asked what petitioner would do regarding parking of cars.
Mr. Dooley said he would do everything according to the City ordinances.
Mr. Walker advised the audience that petitioner would have to return for
waiver use approval at which time he would have to present a site plan and
the Planning Commission would then see that petitioner does everything
necessary.
Mr. Whitman said he did not see why petitioner comes into residential land
for commercial building.
Mr. Walker advised him that Mr. Dooley had already explained that the reason
was purely economic.
Mr. Michael Gray, 18434 Westmore, repeated what was previously pointed out,
that all the residents will lose what Dooley gains; asked if there would
be tax reductions if their home values drop.
Mr. Carl Crandell, 18215 Westmore objected to anything but residential
being allowed on that corner.
Mr. Dooley advised the audience that commercial and P.S, are two entirely
different classifications. That with professional use the type of business
and building that would be there would not take anything away from neighbor-
ing residential property.
Mr. Whitman asked if P.S, is allowed, would Commercial follow.
Mr. Dooley said, no. He added that the Planning Commission judges each
petition on its own merits.
Mr. Whitman stated he would not like to see this petition approved
Mr. Walker stated that this matter would be taken under advisement,
Mr. Walker announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-7-1-18
by Forest Lawrence requesting to rezone property located
approximately 160 feet north of Five Mile Road approximately
600 feet east of Middlebelt Road in the Southwest 1/4 of
Section 13 from RUF to P for additional parking space.
Mr. Clarence Charest came forward, representing the petitioner. He stated
that petitioner desires to erect a commercial building compatible with his
zoning, He added that although he has enough parking area petitioner would
prefer to have this zoning change to give more parking area to the rear
with the building on the front portio.. Petitioner has a proposed lease
with a beauty shop.
4900
Mr, Wrightman asked Mr. Charest if the business to be serviced by this
parking exists.
Mr. Char_�st said it does not.
Mr. Wrightman added that if there is nothing there yet, how can petitioner
say he needs parking area.
Mr. Charest stated that the petitioner wants to know that at the time they do
build there will be adequate parking.
Mr. Pollock stated that he did not know how petitioner would get to the
rear parking lot.
Mr. Charest said there would be a driveway which would be at least 20, wide.
Mr„ Wrightman stated he would like to see what petitioner has inmind for
driveway, etc.
Mr. Walker asked why parking would not be in front.
Mr. Charest stated that 601 would come off the front for road, leaving
1001 and petitioner felt that this would not be adequate for building
and parking area.
Mrs. Chandler asked if this parcel is landlocked.
Mr. Nagy stated that this is "split zoning" with the front Commercial
and the rear RUF. He added that he feels this requires study on the
use of this land before the Commission acts on it.
Mr. Okerstrom, in the audience, asked the Commission what the requirements
were with regard to protective wall.
Mr, Hull stated that this man would be required to put a protective wall
along the P zoning; if not, it would have to go along the .north line of the
Commercial zoning to the north between parking area and R-7 zoning and
also to the west between parking and RUF and to the east also.
Mr, Walker stated he would like to have this matter go back to the
Planning Department for further studycf this and the entire property
in the area.
Mr. Charest stated he would like a study made with the possibility of
making the entire parcel C-2.
Mr. Walker stated that this matter would be taken under advisement.
Mr. Walker announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-8-2-17
by Steve Polgar requesting to be granted a waiver use permit
to use building located on the southwest corner of Farmington
Road and Myrna for a real estate office in addition to law
office.
4901
Petitioner, Mr. Polgar, was present and advised the Commission that he
wishes to lease portions of his building for 1•:a1 estate and insurance
purposes, the reason for his request for waiver use approval.
Mr„ Walker stated that this matter would be taken under advisement.
Mr. Walker announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-8-2-18
by Lonnie Adams for American Lutheran Church requesting to
be granted a waiver use permit to construct a church on
lots 10-12 inclusive, of Winfield Estates Subdivision, located
on the south side of Seven Mile Road between Gill Road and
Laurel in Section 9.
Mr, Lonnie Adams was present in behalf of petitioner. He explained that
the American Lutheran Church has an expansion program under way and this
is a part of it. He brought sketches to the meeting of the proposed church
for the Commission to see. He advised that the parking would be in the
rear.
Mr. Walker stated that he had gone to the site and feels it is a good
location for a church but would like one amendment to their site plan, that
being ingress and egress at Seven Mile Road as well as Floral, and would
appreciate petitioner working this out with the Planning Director.
Mr, Adams advised that this posed no problem and he would do this.
Mr. Tent asked how large the congregation would be.
Mr, Adams advised that at present there is no congregation; that they look
to start a new congregation; there would be a seating capacity of 220 to 225.
Mr. Tent asked what the ultimate size of the congregation would be.
Mr. Adams stated that it depended on how much it can grow. He said they
would like in time to convert the entire present building into a Sunday
School and fn.11owship hall, and build a new sanctuary. He said the
petitionerswould build as soon as they get a permit.
Mre, Chandler asked if this would be a Mission Church.
Mr. Adams said yes, that he had built several for this same ptitioner.
He further said that the parsonage would be erected at the rear of the
property.
Mr. Walker stated that the right-of-way has been obtained.
Mr, Carl W. Knapp, 34600W. Seven Mile Road asked how the parking wculd be
handled and Mr. Adams explained the plans, parking etc. to him,
Mr. Walker advised that this matter would be taken under advisement.
4902
Mr. Walker announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition
66-8-7-9 by the City Planning Commission to determine whether
or not to amend Part V of the Master Plan, the Master School and
Park Plan, so as to provide for the incorporation of property
located on the west side of Stark Road immediately north of
Frost Jr. High School in Section 21. (Parcels T,U1,U2 and V).
Dr. Friedrichs, Chairman of the YMCA in Livonia asked the exact acreage
of the parce _ the %Tao adyi^ed it is approximately 30 acres, He stated
that the Y is thinking in terms of 8 or 10 acres, further adding that they
had discussed this acreage with the owner and with the Parks and Recreation;
he said their frontage would run between 40% to 50% and the depth would be
whatever is necessary - as soon as the architect submits the recommended
measurements same will be submitted to the Commission.
Mr, Hull said this could be made a part of the park plan now and amended
later when they purchase it.
Dr. Friedrichs said it was his understanding that a waiver use would have
to be entered into.
Mr. Walker stated that this matter would be taken under advisement.
(0110 Mr, Walker announced that the next item on the agenda is preliminary plat
approval of Globe Industrial Subdivision located on the north
side of Plymouth Road approximately 210 feet east of Newburgh
Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 29. Submitted by Samuel
Hechtman for Practical Home Builders, Inc.
Mr, Walker asked how many acres were involved in this parcel.
Mr. Hull answered, 65 acres.
Mr, Spalding, of Spalding DeDecker and Associates, Engineers, of
Birmingham, Michigan, stated that he was present to represent Mr. Hechtman,
He said the land covered by this plat is presently M-i, located between
Plymouth Road on the South and A mrhein Road on the north, on the east is
an existing subdivision, Plymouth Levan Industrial Subdivision, and Detro_!
Edison tower. Proposed railroad spur to come from C & 0 into the property
along the eastern line will serve 7-acre lots along the eastern line as well
as property on the western part of the adjacent subdivision,
Mr. Walker stated that this petition covers an industrial subdivision made
up of 30 lots varying in size - large lots to the east, smaller abutting
residential property along Newburgh Road with access of traffic being north
and south c-it of the industrial subdivision onto Plymouth and Amrhein Roads,
4903
Mrs. Lillian Thompson, 11962 Newburgh Road, Livonia objected saying that
this would come up to her back door, and asked what would happen to the
property of those living on Newburgh Road.
Mr. Walker stated that her property would stay as is, they would only be
allowing land already zoned industrial to be used as such.
She stated that they have been there for 20 years and were told back then
that no factory would ever be built there.
Mr. Walker stated that it cannot be moved away; the property must be used
as industrial.
Mrs. Dina Gladman, 11800 Newburgh Road asked if there was any guarantee
that the fact^ries built there would be good and not odorous, etc.
Mr. Pollock stated that these same persons were in when a small industrial
plant was to be built on their street ; the Commission had several meetings
with their group; he reminded them that at that time the Commission had
pointed out to them that the land immediately behind them was zoned M-1
and at that time no one said anything about it.
Mr. Hull stated that this preliminary plat could be forgotten but immediately
thereafter 2 or 3 factories could be put there without coming befo:'e the
IL' Planning Commission.
Mr. Hechtman said that he purchased the property in 1954 and it was M-1
then.
Mrs. Gladman asked if the factories would be built right near their lot line.
Mr. Andrew, Industrial Coordinator, stated that the setbacks would be 201
on parcels under an acre and 50* over an acre in size.
Mr. Walker stated that they would face a new road. He advised the residents
that the Commission can control and protect the residents in the area. He
stated that tte Commission wants the right kind of industry, nothing at
the expense of the home owner,
Mr. Singer questioned whether there would be a fence or wall between
the residences and the subdivision.
Mr. Andiaw said there was no requirement for a wall; suggested possibility
of a greenbelt treatment.
Mr. Walker asked petitioner what his thoughts were along this line.
Mr. Hechtman said he purchased the land in 1954 as industrial zoning; he
would like to use theproperty for other than industrial but has been told
le1
that the city wants it to remain industrial, therefore he will develop
4
,
4904
it on that basis. He discussed the possibility of a wall, etc, with the
Commission and Mrs. Chandler suggested that if the cost was so great to
build a wall Mr, Hechtman might add it to the price of the lots as he
sold them, as a condition that they erect such a wall.
Mr. Pollock stated that several industrial subdivisions have been put in
the City of this type; in many instances they are an asset to the City and
suggested to Mr. Hechtman that he would think this would also be an asset
to the City.
Mr, Hechtman stated yes, or he would not put it up. He went on to explain
the many expenses he had already incurred and all the land he had already
given up for right-of-ways, etc. and said that to put up a wall he would
have to raise the price; he could make it a deed restriction.
Mr. Hull stated that he sympathizes with the residents but they are in the
path of industrial building; suggested the possibility of seeing of anything
could be worked out to purchase the property and put same to industrial
use.
Mr, Hechtman stated that there are seven houses on the east side of New-
burgh Road between Plymouth and Woodview Drive which he has attempted to
buy but has not been able to do so. He also felt that industrial land s
C should not abut residential land, there should be, something betwien'ii+t«
dustrial and residential - if everything on *ewburgh was industrial, the
people there could sell on that basis to thdse who want industrial lands,
Neb ieehtman atnted that he•hadno objection to corking•out a condition y. ,,
for the Will along Newburgh, where,there ere residences, :: ,
:.
•
•
Mr, Hull asked:if''he mould put a wall whore there ate residences. only' ` °
;
or along all five residential land,
Mr. Hechtman said it would be a uniform wall along all residentially
zoned land whether occupied or not. He stated he did not like a
greenbelt treatment because no one takes care of it, planting strips do
not usually work out.
The question was raised about the use of Newburgh Road, which is a dirt
road, by heavy trucks, etc. with the industrial complex being built,
as to the paving of same and the residentialoaners having to pay for
same.
Mr, Walker stated that this would be the case, even'if this petition
had not come up; the road is there, so is the zoning, and the requirement
of the road improvement - whether the land is used or not.
4905
Mr. Hull said that with regard to assessments it is the responsibility of
the Legislative Body of the City, and equating of formula varies; it is
not always proportional to the people abutting it. Their needs are
cons idered.
Mr. Pollock assured the audience that the commission would work with the
developer to see that something good is built here.
Mr. Walker stated that this matter would be taken under advisement.
Upon a motion duly glade by Mr. Wrightman and seconded by Mr. Tent, and

Mr. Walker announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-6-1-15
by Naldo Bucci for Rocwall Company requesting to rezone property
located on the east side of Osmus Avenue approximately 175 feet
north of Fargo Avenue in Section 3 from RUPA to M-L as proper
extension of the existing land use on the south side of Eight
Mile Road.
Nicbolai Slithasked permission of the Chairman to make a short statement on
this matter. He stated that he was appearing before the Commission as
attorney in behalf of the North Central Civic Associatioh and wanted to '
have the association's objection to the approdal of the petition, #66-6-1-15,
placed on record; he stated that the Commission had been previously served
with petitions bearing 400 signatures objecting to said petition; he stated
that the members of the Commission who appeared the previous Thursday evening
before the Civic Association heard the objections of the individual members
of the association who are residents of the area. They objected because
of the piece meal type of development which the Commission'will allow and
permit in the industrial development of this area; that is, allowing the
petitioner to have one segment, leaving all other residents remaining unsure
as to the future development of the property. In conclusion, he stated
that the City Planning Commission is representative of the city government
and all citizens of Livonia - citizens who are members of this association -
ILand the civic association wished to go on record and ask this Commission
to listen to their plight in considering this petition and respectfully
ask that the petition be denied.
Commissioner Ward asked Mr. Smith what credentials he had to speak for
the association,
Mr. Smith made it explicit that he did not appear in behalf of the
association previously but at the executive board meeting of the civic
association they made the recommendation which was approved, and the
officers were duly authorized to retain him.
Mr, Ward. statedte is shocked at Mr4 Smith's role. At a previousmeeting
he, represented only fifteen taxpayers. of the area who emotionally objected
to the proposal made. Now, to his surprise this minority has swayed the
entire civic association. Speaking for himself as a citizen, as well as
a planning commissioner, he feels that if the commission votes affirmatively
on this petition that they will be serving the best interests of the area
and of the entire city. He urged that the commission unanimously recommend
this rezoning petition. Mr. Ward further stated that he is sorry that the
people in the civic association do not feel that the Planning Commission
is trying to do what is right. Their efforts have been honest and
sincere, Many hours have been devotedto this area and he feels that
the Planning Commission will be doing the right thing by recommending
the industrial expansion in this area in conformance with the study
that has been previously prepared by the Commission.
4912
Mr. Walker stated that he wished to make some facts clear; first that
this entire study has been going on for eight years inthe Planning Depart-
ment of the City of Livonia and only in the last two years has the City
had a staff where it could do a comprehensive and a real fine study of the
area, and only after revising zoning requirements was the new zoning
brought about known as M-L; which zoning was made for this area; the
Commission feels it a highly desirable zoning and, having a Master Plan
of the entire area, that this development fits in well with it. He further
stated that the Commission does not feel that this is an isolated, hodgeS .
podge development with no continuity in the over-all plan, they feel it is
an asset to the welfare of the community as a whole; but feel that there
are other things involved, that some things do not look quite right to the
Commission because it has spent so much time with the public and the civic
association and had drawn down to where they were almost fn complete accord
with the President, Secretary and the two other members cirthe association
at a meeting lasting to midnight on Thursday, September 1, 1966, and
something happened between Thursday and Sunday whereby fourteen people chose
to hire an attor>ey, and by the following week the entire civic association
decided to hire an attorney to represent them, and the position was made
clear to the board that they do not desire any type of industry in the area;
that their desire was for 1/2-acre lots of residential zoning; therefore I
feel that the board has no other choice but to go ahead with their plan.
The Commission has a master plan which they must adhere to and if they are
going to benefit the City as Planners, he stated, this petition is the
best possible and most desirable use to the City as a whole.
