#8-216-71 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held
to .,on August 10, 1971 on Petition 71-6-2-22 as submitted by John
F. Dooley, Attorney for William Titus and John Giacobozzi re-
questing to be granted a waiver of use permit to operate
auto-wash with accessory gasoline pumps on property located
on the southeast corner of Five Mile Road and Santa Anita
in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 24, the City Planning Commission
does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 71-6-2-22
be denied for the following reasons:
(1) The zoning classification for this general area was
established for local business (C-1) uses only and this
proposed use is inconsistent with the permitted uses of
the C-1 zoning district.
(2) This section of Five Mile Road between Inkster and
Middlebelt Road is in many respects taking on the
strip commercial characteristics of Plymouth Road
and this proposed use will only add to this condition.
(3) Santa Anita is a residential street and it is not good
planning to place a car wash facility with gas pumps
at the entrance to a residential neighborhood.
(4) The proposed use is not of such location, size and
character that it will be in harmony with the appropriate
and orderly development of the surrounding neighborhood.
�g
L (5) The proposed use is a high traffic generator and will
conflict with the flow of traffic along Five Mile Road.
(6) The location, intensity, site elevation and periods of
operation of the proposed use are such that a-nuisance is
likely to occur therefrom which will be obnoxious to the
nearby permitted uses by reason of dust, noise, fumes and
lights .
FURTHER RESOLVED, that notice of the above public hearing was
sent to property owners within 500 feet, petitioner and City
. Departments as listed in the Proof of Service.
The Chairman declared the motion carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
Mr. Tunis announced the next item on the agenda, Petition 71-7-2-23 submitted
by Rodney C. Kropf, Attorney for Earl and Donna Sonac requesting
to be granted a waiver use permit to fill in a portion of parcel
13B9a2b1 which falls within the flood plain area on property
located on the south side of Grove Avenue, east of Middlebelt
in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 13.
Mr. Kropf was present and advised the Commission that his clients wanted to
fill in this portion of the flood plain because of the stagnant water that is
present after heavy rains.
9232
•
Mr. Siemert of the Engineering Department was present and explained the
department's position with respect to the matter. The Engineering Department
is interested in preserving the flood plain and no filling in of flood plain
# is allowed for two reasons:
(1) Any filling within the flood plain can reduce
the water carrying capacity of the flood plain.
Any reduction of the width of the flood plain will
reduce capacity of flood plain and will result in
higher ditch levels and therefore make it damaging.
(2) Flood plain serves as storage basin for water and
it is a place for water to go and wait until water
is ready to be carried away.
Mr. Siemert said that the petitioner's request comes in two parts. He that
to fill low pocket area abutting low ditch channel. Mr. Siemert
the Engineerin Department would not have any objection to this grading of
the flood plain if the water as it leaves the low ditch channel goes back
down and directly back to the main ditch channel and is carried away. Right
now the water gets trapped and does not get back into the main ditch channel.
The Engineering Deaprtment does not feel that this would be detrimental to
the flood plain.
Mr. Siemert said that the second part of the petitioner's request is to
extend the highland for a swimming pool and the Engineering Department feels
that this would be detrimental to the flood plain.
Mr. Siemert further advised that the leveling material used must be the existing
bank and not be additional fill dirt brought in.
Mr. Andrew stated that the topography map of the area indicated a pile of
dirt fill.
Mr. Kropf stated at this point that it would be done the way the Engineering
Department wants it filled.
Mr. Siemert advised that the dirt that was placed there was dirt that was
intended to fill the flood plain. A court order states the petition must remove
90% to 95% of that dirt.
Mr. Osborn of the Public Works Department stated that he was in court when the
court order was issued for the removal of 90 to 95% of the dirt.
Mr. Andrew asked Mr. Gary Sackett of the Law Department whether the Planning
Commission action would in any way affect the court action.
Mr. Sackett stated teat there would be no bearing at all.

Mr. Pinto asked where does one procedure keep from tripping over the other.
Mr. Siemert advised that if the petitioner were granted the permission to fill
the flood plain with outside material then it would affect his position with
the court. They might change their decision to be in accordance with the City.
Mr. Pinto asked whether the Commission can by approving the petition make it
legal to fill the plain with the dirt he has stockpiled.
Mr. Osborn stated that it was his department's recommendation to deny the
petition as he doesn't agree with the terminology used by the petitioner to
obtain the waiver use.
Mr. Osborn advised the Commission that Mr. Sonac's neighbor also had dirt
waiting and ready to fill in the flood plain and that if this petition were
granted in whole or part it would be legitimatizing their action.
Mrs. Kragh, 29169 Grove was present and she stated that Mr. Sonac had brought
dirt in illegally already and that he has already put it on Middlebelt and
Grove and has a nice mud pile there now. She suggested that the Planning
Commission look at it and see what it looks like.
Mr. Sackett, stated that Mrs. Kragh lived 80 feet from the situation she
mentioned and that she had a legitimate complaint.
Mrs. Weingarden, 29181 Grove was present and stated that she lived at this
to residence for 31 years and they have never been allowed to put one load of
dirt in.
ile Mr. Osborn stated that because of the complication, he would be more than
happy to meet with the Planning Commission and take the time to look at both
of the properties.
Mrs. Masterson, 1645 Savoie was present and asked whether anyone had been out
to look at the flood plain that is all plugged up.
Mr. Osborn stated that he had walked the entire bank and that was the reason
they wanted to stop this.
Mrs. Raff , 16790 Middlebelt was present and stated that she was against the
petitioner filling the flood plain.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard and the Chairman declared the
public hearing closed.
The Chairman directed that petition be removed from the agenda and referred to
the first study meeting in September.

Mr. Gelfend advised the Commission that it would not be necessary to table
the petition because it was his intention to abandon the project.
Mr. Andrew subsequently advised Mr. Gelfend that Petition 71-7-8-11 could
not be removed from the agenda until such time the Commission was in receipt
of a letter advising them of the abandonment of the project and requesting
no action be taken by the Planning Commission on the subject petition.
On a motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the City of Livonia
Planning Commission adjourned its 232nd Regular Meeting held on August 10,
