following reasons:

proposed commercial use would tend to destroy the stability
11, of the residential neighborhood.

Farmington Road is already overly burdened with traffic
and the addition of traffic from the proposed use could
adversely affect its traffic carrying capacity.
(4) The location, size and intensity, site layout and periods
of operation of the proposed use can cause a nuisance which
may be noxious to the occupant of any other nearby permitted
use by reason of dust, noise, fumes and lights.
(5) The location and size of the proposed use, the nature and
intensity of the principal use and the accessory uses, the
site layout and its relationship to streets giving access,
shall be such that the traffic to and from the use will be
hazardous and will unduly conflict with the normal traffic
of the neighborhood.
(6) 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.

Mr. Marsh, an Attorney from Detroit was present and was representing Mr. Roy a
resident immediately north of the site. He stated that Mr. Roy was opposed to
the rezoning because this rezoning will reduce the residential value of their
property. It will also disturb the peace and quiet by way of fumes and noise
becuase of the close proximity. Mr. Marsh said he was also submitting a letter
from additional residents which was addressed to the Commission objecting to
the auto wash and the rezoning of RUF to C-2. The letter was signed by property
owners as follows, Roy, Mink, Bringer, Scott, Beard, Leskowitz, Bracken,
Grabowski, Page, Allen and Sucadis.

firo property owners advised him that there is never anybackup of traffic from this
auto wash.

the fears of the neighbors by reason of landscaping that area.
Mr. Pinto asked whether the south half of 416a met RUF requirement.
Mr. Nagy stated that it did.
Mr. Pinto surmised that the neighbors would wish that it remain RUF which would
allow a house to be built on it which would then put that house in the position
the Roy's are in.
Mr. Marsh stated that they would rather have a house there to extend the
residential characteristic of the neighborhood.
Mr. Hand asked whether the land to the north was raw land.
Mr. Roy stated it was, weeds.
Mr. Andrew stated that by the petitioner erecting a wall between his property and
the Roys, it will be eliminating something that is unsightly and eliminate dumping
on that site.

of privacy.
Mr. Roy advised of noise during the hours of 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. and that the wall
was not to code.
Mr. Andrew advised that the petitioner would have to erect a wall all along Mr.
Roy's south boundary line.

be used for ingress and egress.
Mr. Kropf advised that that portion will only be landscaped.
Mr. Pinto stated that all land has to be zoned something and that with 60 x 130
feet of property zoned C-2, there were 50 or 60 uas that could be constructed
upon this land without any hearing. He pointed out that this petitioner is
asking for that C-2 to be zoned to P and that the P zoning is possibly the most
restrictive classification of any.
Mr. Andrew asked who owned the land behind Henry's Drive-In.
The Vice-President of Pro-Wash stated that it was owned by Henry Enterprises of
Chicago, Illinois.
II
Mr. Tunis mentioned that the petition before them tonight did not move or expand
IL the building and therefore would not alleviate the noise. The noise would emanate
from the same location.

the noise of the cars closer to their home.

IL; cars.

make the area more aesthetic to the whole area.
