Mr. Nagy replied that they were all from Grantland Avenue.

ferto
industry. Livonia has the finest climate for industry.

City fathers had contacted them to come to Livonia.

hthe e past 25
5epyears
the area was zoned RUF. A year ago the City put
on this street. The homes on this street have been ordered to tap in. .

of the fact that these people have to tap in at a cost of several thousand dollars
the people are being forced out.
Mr. Andrew asked if he was concerned because of the manufacturing zoning.
Mr. Green said he was.
Mr. Andrew asked what Mr. Green would think the reaction would be:if there was
a plan devised to include more land than the plan under petition?
Mr. Green replied that their only salvation would be for someone to buy the whole
thing.
Mr. Alvin Lask, 37720 Grantland was present and stated that people wanted to buy
$12,000 property for $4,000. He stated that they put their value there by living
there. If new developers want to run us out i feel we have a right to stay.
Mr. Larry Stark, 37920 Grantland was present and he would like to propose that
since this gentleman (Mr. Warren) wants to zone this Industrial and since you are
the Planning Commission why don't we zone everything on the same calibre and if
they choose to stay they can stay and if they want to move they can move.
Mrs. Evangeline Howell, 11790 Newburgh was present and stated that she was against
the rezoning. She said they were up to their necks in factories and didn't want
any more.

Road, east of Eckles Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 19.
A letter in the file from the Engineering Department advised there are no storm
sewers to drain the site as of this date and additionally, the use of the site
seems to predicated on the use of old Schoolcraft Road which according to records
has never been vacated.
Mr. D. W. Thomas was present and Mr. Pinto asked of Mr. Thomas whether his
petition included old Schoolcraft in the site.
Mr. Thomas said that since there was abandoment of this area then the property
in question goes back to this property.
Mr. Pinto advised Mr. Thomas that he understood that it was not vacated.
Mr. Thomas said that the legal description of the property reveals that this is
his property.
Mr. Pinto requestioned Mr. Thomas as to whether he thought the abandoned part of
this property belonged to him.

and he suggested that Mr. Warren contact the State about tapping into the sewer.

Warren replied affirmatively.

Mr. Warren said they have an option on that property for a restaurant.
9099
Mr. Pinto posed a hypothetical situation to Mr. Warren in assuming that old
Schoolcraft was not vacated and whether he could develop without this piece of
land.
Mr. Warren stated that he could not, and that they would not want to build a
motel because there wouldn't be enough property.
Mr. Tent asked Mr. Warren what he was going to do if he could not tap into the
storm sewer under the freeway.
Mr. Warren said that he was sure the community provided for this.
Mr. Tent asked if he would spend the money.
Mr. Warren said if it would cost a great deal of money to develop the property
it would not be worth it and he thinks Livonia will benefit. He also advised
that a lot of people from Burroughs and Evans want to rent it.
Mr. Andrew asked whether they would lease it.
Mr. Warren replied that they would run it.
