Mr. Raymond W. Tent, Chairman, called the Public Hearing to order at approximately 8:15 p.m. with approximately 85 interested persons in the audience. Members present: Raymond W6 lent Robert Colomina Joseph J. Falk A. Dow Tunis Ptancis M. Hand Charles Pinto Joseph Talbot Daniel R. Andrew Members absent: Marvin Moser Messrs. John J. Nagy, Planning Director; Ralph H. Bakewell, Planner III; H. G. Shane, Planner III, Gary Sackett, Assistant City Attorney, were also present. Mr. Tunis announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 70-11-1-44 by Rodney Kropf, Attorney for Vaughan and Thelma D. Hinber, request- ing to rezone property located on the southwest corner of Seven Mile Road and Inkster Road in Section 12, from C-1 to C-2. . Mr. Tent gave a brief background regarding this particular piece of property and stated there is no correspondence in the file relating objections to the petition. Mr. Rodney Kropf, Attorney representing the petitioners, was present and stated it is his feeling that there has been considerable change in the area since the last petition was denied by the City and they now would like to put a gas station at this location. Mr. Tent stated this will be the fourth station on the fourth corner at this inter- section and asked if the Mobil Oil Company is going to do something different in view of the fact that the station on the southeast corner has changed hands about every three months for several years. Mr. Kropf stated he has had no experience with Mobil or the people who run these stations and feels it is not his place to anticipate the success of this corner. There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item. Mr. Tent, Chairman, stated the item will be taken under advisement.. Mr. Tunis announced the second item on the agenda is Petition 70-10-1-40 by John F. Dooley, Attorney for William Titus and John Giacobozzi requesting to rezone property located on the southeast corner of Five Mile Road and Santa Anita in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 24, from C-1 to C-2. Nie41 Mr. Tent stated there is a letter dated 11/9/70 from the Engineering Division in the file indicating there is a drainage problem in this area. Mr. John Dooley, Attorney representing the petitioners, stated that the extension of Livonia Drain #2 will probably be finished by the first week of 1971 and will take care of the drainage problem. He stated they will take the sidewalk out and rearrange it however is desirable; that they propose an automatic car wash and will 9008 require two or three people to operate the business which will have attendants at all times. Hours of operation will be no earlier than 8:00 a.m. and no later than 6:00 p.m. Mr. Dooley stated the car wash wculd be situated on the west 98' and the restaurant on the easterly 100'. Mr. Hand stated it appears there will be a very serious drainage problem on the property of the person living next to this area and asked if Mr. Dooley has provided for this. Mr. Dooley stated that the drain being constructed on Santa Anita will take care of this and there will be no need for water to run on anyone's property. Mr. Hand questioned if Mr. Dooley plans any landscaping on the site. Mr. Dooley stated they would be required to construct a wall on the easterly end of the property and the wall will be built to look like brick. Mr. Steven Riddle, 15132 Santa Anita, stated that until the drainage pro&lem is corrected he would be against rezoning this property for commercial purposes. Mr. John Mitchell, 15175 Santa Anita, stated his feelings that if this property is rezoned to C-2 the entire area would be opened up for the same type of planning. Mr. Talbot asked Mr. Riddle if he would still object to the car wash if the drainage problem is solved. Mr. Riddle stated he is not exactly in favor of the car wash but his biggest fear is the drainage problem. Mrs. Ann Conley, 27610 Five Mile Road, stated there is a doctor's office across from this and does not want to see a car wash across from it. A gentleman who stated he has the property next to Mrs. Conley, stated his objection to the petition and requested more information regarding the restaurant. Mr. Dooley stated he is here at the present time asking that this property be rezoned from C-1 to C-2 and when this is processed he will have to come back for another public hearing and at that time he will be required to submit a site plan showing exactly what they are intending to build. He said the restaurant will be a small one, something like a Clock or Time and will be designed to fit on that particular size parcel of land and will accommodate all the necessary parking and very numerous requirements of the City. Mr. Dooley stated it will not be a carry-out or drive-in restaurant or one where food is consumed on the premises. There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item. Mr. Tent, Chairman, stated the_iten will be taken under advisement. Mr. Tunis announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 70-11-1-43 by Richard E. Gabel and Edward C. Levy requesting to rezone 'AL property located north of Schoolcraft and west of Farmington Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 21, from R-2 to R-7. ilf Mr. Tent stated the file contains two letters of objection regarding this rezoning; one from William F. Nern and one from Mr. & Mrs. Asa Valentine, and that there is an indication from the staff that there is an Ordinance violation involved. 9009 Mr. Patrick Duggan, Attorney representing the petitioners, was present and stated this rezoning to R-7 is requested to permit construction of apartments. He said the specifics on the apartments are not the determining factor at this point and if the Commission looks with favor on the rezoning the site plan has to be sub- mitted to the Commission for approval. He stated that this site can be developed adequately for apartments; it is close to the proposed freeway which limits its use somewhat for single family development. Commercial development for the site would not be satisfactory, they feel. Taxwise, he stated, apartments for the most part are more advantageous to a City. He stated they will be happy to meet with the people in the area re;,arding the site plan they propose and will consider any views they may have. Mr. Tent stated that a few years ago the plan was for one- and two-bedroom apart- ments; now it is for two- and three-bedroom apartments which is something to think about since the Commission attempts to control density. Mr. Andrew asked Mr. Duggan to expound on the statement he made concerning his opinion that the property is not suitable for single family residential development. Mr. Duggan stated in his judgment an individual developing the land cannot put in enough homes far enough away from the freeway for suitable development. Mr. Andrew questioned if it is Mr. Duggan's opinion that the freeway will have a negative effect on single family development. Mr. Duggan replied, yes. Mr. Colomina stated it is his understanding that this Board cannot act on some- thing that is in violation of the Ordinance. Mr. Nagy stated that when a site plan is furnished for the Commission's approval, they will be prohibited because of the violation. He said the Department has been advised that the Commission can act on the question of zoning since there are other things that can go in under that zoning besides apartments. Mr. Pinto remarked this request is for an R-7 zoning classification immediately adjacent to an R-2 and if this petition is passed, the 1,000' limitation would have to be accommodated within the R-7 in order to avoid being within 1,000' of the R-2, or a site plan within this requested zoning classification on this site would have to be a site plan which did not include 1,000' of this property. And, suppose he could come in with such a site plan and it was within that site but left enough of it out to be 1,000' from the R-2; then he built the apartment and within the balance of the R-7 he built single family dwellings which would be within 1,000' of his apartment building. That, he stated, would leave us where we are no-J, Mr. W. Hopline, Swanson Associates, Architects, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, was present and gave a background as to why this particular site was selected for apartments. He also stated that they will attempt to maintain the foliage as a buffer strip and to keep the parking area central and away from the subidivision area. There will be a club house, swimming pool and other recreational areas and the buildings will be one and two stories. Mr. Hopiine said there will be ten units to an acre and the rents will be in the neighborhood of $275 per month. Mr. Tent stated that the ratio of two- and three-bedroom units is important because it is a proven fact that with one-bedroom units the City has greater con- trol of density. Mr. Hopline stated that this is a request for a rezoning and that the site plan 9010 approval would deal more specifically with the number of one-, two- and three- bedroom units there would be. Mr. Andrew made an inquiry as to who is the applicant and the owner of the property. Mr. Nagy stated that both are Babel and Levy. Mr. John Fratto, 14410 Ramblewood, stated that he had read that the Federal Reserve Bank has made a statement to the effect that apartments are becoming popular simply because money is tight and no other reason, and questioned if Mr. Hopline had any figures regarding taxes on single family vs apartments. Mr. Tent stated that the standard argument has been used that apartments do not generate children and there is no strain on the schools and they do not require all the service of single family dwellings, but the people who have residential homes use different arguments. Mr. Phillip Payne, 14216 Ranblewood, stated that people move in and out of apart- ments more frequently than a single home and questioned what this does to the deterioration of the building and what effect would this have on the homes in the surrounding area. He stated he does not believe there will be a tax saving with apartments being built in the area. Mr. Thomas Gorton, 14176 Ellen, stated his objections to the petition because he believes it will generate children and because of the additional traffic and because transient tenants do not treat an apartment residence the same as a man {111; who has equity in his land. Mr. Gorton stated he is speaking for about 100 to 150 people in Shadowood Subdivision and Greenbriar Subdivision with their per- mission, and that they are going to live with the freeway and they feel that additional si- le family homes here can live with it. Mr. Fred Ghannon, 14291 Barbara, was present and objected to the petition. A petition containing thirty-six signatures of persons objecting to this petition was given to the Commission. There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item. Mr. Tent, Chairman, stated the item will be taken under advisement. Mr. Tunis announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 70-11-2-25 by the Curran Construction Company requesting to be granted a waiver of use permit to construct a McDonald Restaurant on property located on the west side of Middlebelt Road between Five Mile Road and Wentworth in Section 14. Mr. Tent informed the Commission that a phone call had been received from the petitioner and that because of some personal problems he will not be able to be present tonight. He said a letter from Engineering indicates there are no problems in connection with the petition. Mr. Ralph Bakewell, Planner III, present the petition on behalf of the petitioner. He stated that it would be a McDonald's sit-down type restaurant and that at the present time there is an office building and parking for this building is located to the rear of the site. Mrs. Gladys Ward, 29221 Rayburn, was present and stated she is representing the 9011 Madison C�'. is Association and that all members of the association are opposed to this petition. She stated also that Mr. Hammel of Hammel Music and Mr. Emig of Hearthside are opposed to the petition and will send a letter to the Council to that effect. She stated this is a high-accident area and this restaurant will cause more accidents. There will be only three lots between the proposed restaur- -- ants and the Marycrest home which is opposed also to the petition. She said they would much rather hr.-.re the prbperty rezoned to P.S. than to have a McDonald Restaurant. Mr. Max Schaffer was present and stated he is presently developing this entire area. He said they built the Michigan Bell Telephone Company and the people at Michigan Bell have asked him to state on their behalf that they are with this petition because their employees are having trouble finding a place to eat, and a McDonald's would be a place they could afford. He stated also that this will be an asset to them and help them to rent the other building they have built and will build in the future. Mr. Tent stated that although the petition shows this to be a different type building, the menu has not changed. Mr. Falk questioned Mr. Schaffer if he said the management at Michigan Bell had given him endorsement to go ahead with this because there is no other place to eat on Five Mile Road. Mr. Schaffer stated he did not mean to say that; there are places to eat but they are either too far or too expensive. te Mr. Pinto questioned the possibility of seating 92 people in the 22' area shown on the plan. Mr. Niles Hack, District Manager for McDonald's, stated they went through an extensive change in their restaurant last year to make them sit-down rather than drive-ins and they have designed this one colonial to fit in with the area. He stated the seating area is 22' x 60' approximately; that they have chicken on a .. ,' !ng program so far but the menu, he stated, is basically the same. The only nights they are open after 11:00 p.m. is Friday and Saturday. Mr. Andrew stated he notices that the plan states that any landscaping required is the obligation of the owner and asked who the owner is. Mr. Hack stated the licensee, in this case, is Mr. DeDecker who lives in Livonia. He also stated the arches have been dropped from the building; there will be an arch on the side of a size dependent upon Livonia's sign ordinance. Discussion was held regarding the seating of 92 people in a 22' x 60' area. Mrs. Nancy Phillips, 29201 Roycroft, was present and objected to the petition. Mr. Andrew questioned Mr. Hack regarding an area designated as service area on the plan. Mr. Hack stated this is a p1-,ce for the person to purchase his food and go to the eating area; there are no waitresses and they have not experienced difficulty in other areas in maintaining eating in the building. He said they have enforced this by posting signs and by hiring service gi.ards. There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item. 9012 Mr. Tent, Chairman, stated the item will be taken under advisement. Mr. Tunis announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 70-11-2-26 by Rev. Joseph F. Ferens, St. Colette Catholic Church requesting to be gr-nted a waiver of use permit to erect a church and parish house on property located on the east side of Newburgh Road between Six Mile Road and Seven Mile Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 8. Mr. Tent stated the Engineering Department indicates there are no engineering problems regarding this petition. Mr. Joseph St. Cyr, Architect, was present representing the petitioner and stated a building of 10,000 square feet is proposed with a seating capacity for approximately 600 people. He said the parking requirements as per Ordinance is over 200 cars and that the driveways have been changed since submission of the first site plan. They also plan to build a rectory and activity center. Mr. Hand questioned what is proposed for the area northeast of the parking lot. Mr. St. Cyr stated there is a surplus of property and he would think that some day the Board of Education might need some of that property. Mr. Tent questioned if Mr. St. Cyr would be amenable to providing a landscaping plan as attractive as the archiect's plan of the Church. Mr. St. Cyr stated, yes. Mr. Tent questioned what has been done about the parking plan. 46, Mr. St. Cyr stated they have completely erased the herringbone parking plan and corrected the plan according to the suggestions of the Planning staff. Con- struction, he stated, will start this spring. Mr. Colomina questioned the width of the aisles in the parking lot. Mr. Shane, Planner III, stated that with 90° parking, a 22' lane is large enough to allow two-way traffic. Mr. Ralph Schweikhart, 17800 NewburSh Road, owner of the parcel on the north corner, questioned if the evergreens there could be saved by moving the north drive exit. Mr. St. Cyr stated they certainly would like to save them but was not aware there were evergreens there. Mr. Schweikhart stated these are not on the property line; they overhand five feet south. There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item. Mr. Tent, Chairman, stated the item will be taken under advisement. Mr. Tunis announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 70-8-3-7 by residents and/or taxpayers in the Zimmerman and Porter's Estates Subdivision requesting the vacating of Perth Avenue located north of Schoolcraft between Newburgh Road and Stone- house in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 19. 9013 Mr. Tent stated the Fire and Police Departments have indicated they have no objection to the vacating of this street but a letter in the file from the Chief City Engineer indicates there is an objection. A letter in the file from Detroit Edison states they have no objection provided a full 60' width easement is retained. Mr. Donald Coleman, 14174 Richfield, was present on behalf of the petitioners and stated it is not necessary to have this road because there is access to Newburgh from Lyndon and from Five Mile Road. He stated that people are using this street as a through street instead of using the light at Newburgh. Mr. Tent stated that Mr. Coleman should pursue this with the Traffic Commis- sion who can have signs put up there to control traffic. Mr. Bakewell explained a plan showing the proposed freeway and related that there is no reason to vacate the street until definite plans have been made as to the traffic pattern with relation to the freeway.. Mr. Gerald L. Wilton, 14214 Stonehouse, stated his belief that the City could more wisely spend money if Hix Road were completed rather than paving Perth. He stated he does not believe Mr. Strasser's letter makes a valid point when it is only 1200' to go up to Lyndon for access to Newburgh. Mr. Colomina stated that at one time the people in the area wanted more streets; now they want fewer and once the City vacates a street it is gone forever and cannot be claimed again. He questioned what happens to the street if it is vacated. Mr. Nagy stated that based upon previous experiences it would go in equal pro- portion to abutting property owners. Mr. B. Williams, 14221 Newburgh, stated he is in favor of this road being vacated. Mr. Wilton stated that if Perth Avenue had been extended when Castle Gardens was put in there would be a good valid argument for improving it. Mr. Fred T. Gelo, 14151 Newburgh Road, stated he is opposed to improving Perth Avenue because it will open up the subdivision to through traffic through the subdivision and will create a danger to the children of people who live there. There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item. Mr. Tent, Chairman, stated the item will be taken under advisement. Mr. Tunis announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 70-10-6-9 by the City Planning Commission, pursuant to Council Resolution #1007-70 to amend Section 4.03, 5.03 and 6.03 of Ordinance #543 to provide for golf driving ranges as waiver uses in the R-1 through R-5, RUF and AG Districts. Mr. Tent stated that this proposed ordinance amendment is on the public hearing agenda at the direction of the City Council. There was no one prase-,t , fhing to be heard regarding this item. Mr. Tent stated the item will be taken under advisement. 9014 Mr. Tunis announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 70-10-6-8 by the City Planning Commission pursuant to Council Resolution #1008-70 to amend Section 15.02 of Ordinance #543 by adding paragraph (f) , Union offices, union halls, meeting halls and assembly halls to Uses Permitted in MLDistricts. Mr. Tent stated this public hearing is being held on this Ordinance amendment by the Planning Commission at the direction of the City Council. There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this item. Mr. Tent stated the item will be taken under advisement. Mr. Tunis announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 70-10-6-7 by the City Planning Commission on its own motion to amend Sections 9.03, 10.03, 11.02, and add Section 8.08, to provide for Day Care Nurseries. Mr. Tent stated this again was presented to the Planning Commission by the City Council who requested that nursery schools be given a category within the zoning districts. There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Tent stated it will be taken under advisement. Mr. Tunis announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 70-10-6-6 by the City Planning Commission on its own motion to amend Article XVIII of Ordinance #543 by adding Section 18.57 pertaining to landscaping. 460 There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Tent stated the item will be taken under advisement. Mr. Tunis announced the next item on the agenda is preliminary plat approval for Linden Park Subdivision located in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 32. Mr. Tent informed the Commission and audience that letters have been received from the Fire, Police and Inspection Departments indicating there are no problems regarding this subdivision and they have no objections to it. There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Tent stated it will be taken under advisement. On a motion duly made by Mr. Andrew, seconded by Mr. Hand, and unanimously adopted, it was #12-133-70 RESOLVED that, the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia does hereby adjourn the Public Hearing held on December 15, 1970 at 11:30 p.m. • 9015 Mr. Tent, Chairman, called the 224th Regular Meeting to order at approximately 11:40 p.m. with ap ::ozi tely the same number of interested persons in the audience as were present for the public hearing.

(2) Many of the uses allowed within a C-2 zoning district would not be compatible with the adjacent residential homes to the east. (3) This constitutes a type of spot zoning by reducing the restrictions for one area which have been placed upon the general area by the nature of the existing zoning.

FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was published in the official newspaper, the Livonia Observer, under date of November 29, 1970 and notice of such hearing was sent to the Detroit Edison Company, Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company, Michigan Bell Telephone Company, Consumers Power Company and City Departments as listed in the Proof of Service.

(2) This is an extremely large parcel and would substantially increase the density of the area and could put a burden on the public facilities. (3) A large, high-density development in this area could adversely effect the stability of the adjacent resi- dential neighborhood. s &gv (4) This land has great potential for high calibre single- family residential development.

(3) Industrial land which would be taken for this purpose would be more valuable taxwise if left to manufacturing purposes.
