On Tuesday, December 7, 1971, the City Planning Commission of the City of
Livonia held its 236th Regular Meeting and Public Hearings at the Livonia
City Hall, 33001 Five Mile Road, Livonia, Michigan.
Mr. Daniel R. Andrew, Chairman, called the Public Hearing to order at
approximately 8:05 p.m. with approximately 200 interested persons in the
audience.
Members present: Charles Pinto H. Dow Tunis David F. Merrion
Joseph J. Falk Daniel R. Andrew Herman Kluver
Suzanne Taylor Francis M. Hand Joseph R. Talbot
Messrs. John J. Nagy, Planning Director; Ralph Bakewell, Planner IV; H. G.
Shane, Planner IV; and Robert M. Feinberg, Assistant City Attorney, were also
present.
Mr. Hand, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda, Petition 71-10-1-61
initiated by Council Resolution #783-70 to rezone properties located
on the north side of Five Mile Road between Hubbard Road and
Ingram Avenue in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 15, from P, C-2 and
R-1 to P.S. and P.
There was no one in the audience wishing to be heard and the Chairman declared
the public hearing closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Kluver, seconded by Mr. Tunis and unanimously
adopted it was
412-310-71 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held
on December 7, 1971 on Petition 71-10-1-61 by the City Plan-
ning Commission, initiated by Council Resolution No. 783-70,
requesting to rezone property located on the north side of
Five Mile Road between Hubbard Road and Ingram Avenue in the
Southeast 1/4 of Section 15, from P. C-2 and R-1 to P.S. and
P, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the
City Council that Petition 71-10-1-61 be approved for the
following reasons:
(1) Professional service development is more compatible
to the surrounding development within the area.
(2) Professional service uses are consistent with the
recommended uses to be located within the Civic
Center area.
(3) The present shallow commercial zoning district could
permit uses that would detract from the potential
and stability of the adjacent areas.

9328
(4) In general, P.S. zoning creates less intensity of use
than commercial zoning, thus theoretically reducing the
conflict with the movement of transient traffic along
Five Mile Road.
(5) This rezoning would also provide for the full
utilization of the lots and bring the zoning district
lines in coincidence with property lines.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing
was published in the official newspaper, the Livonia Observer,
under date of November 17, 1971 and a 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.
The Chairman declared the motion carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
Mr. Hand announced the next item on the agenda, Petition 71-10-1-64 by the
City Planning Commission on its own motion to determine whether or
not to rezone properties located along the east and west right-
of-way lines of Middlebelt Road between Five Mile Road and Six
Mile Road in Section 13 and 14, from RUF and C-2 to P.S. , R-7,
C-1 and P.
Mr. Kenneth Morris, President of the Federation of Livonia Civic Association
was present and stated that they had voted at their last meeting that they
wanted to be given notice of future apartment buildings in Livonia. He advised
the Commission that the 1,000 ft. rule was still in effect. He further stated
that he believed all the land in question is within 1,000 ft of residences.
He stated that the civic associations had contacted them and it was their hope
that the Commission would work with the civic associations.
Mr. Hand asked whether they had polled all the civic associations.
Mr. Morris stated that the board approved it.
Mr. Pinto asked how many were on the board.
Mr. Morris stated there were 12. He further stated that they do not claim
that they polled every civic association in the City. He said they were
asking that they be given an opportunity to work with the people in the Civic
Associations and to have a vote in future planning. He went on to say that
there were 43 civic associations in the City. These associations all have a
voice in the vote and he thought they were unanimous in their feeling about
apartments. He went on to say that if there are any changes made they would '
like to have a voice in the matter. He stated that no civic association has
ever objected to the Federation's position on the 1,000 ft. rule.
Mr. John Dooley, Attorney was present and was representing the property owners
of Wentworth Avenue. He stated that all his clients oppose the rezoning. Mr.
Dooley further stated that this rezoning was initiated by the Planning Commission.
He went on to say that this was the only machinery they had available. He
implored the Commission to be as objective as possible. He asked the Commission
for a clear, convincing reason why this parcel should be rezoned in such a
manner. He went on to say that the only reason given for the rezoning was
that it was unlikely that this area on Middlebelt would be attractive to
9 329
to single family dwellings. He stated that if the area were left alone
people would find out about its attractive qualities and build upon it.
He summed up by saying that the people he represented were opposed to
araltiple dwellings or apartments.
Mr. Andrew asked whether Mr. Dooley represented Mrs. Otto.
Mr. Dooley stated he did not. He also stated that he did not represent
the owner of the 200 ft. of frontage. Mr. Dooley also advised that while
working for these clients he had come upon an objection dated December 2,
1971 from Herdebe objecting to the frontage being rezoned from RUF to R-7.
Mr. Andrew asked whether Mr. Dooley represented the Armenian Old Folks.
Mr. Dooley stated he did not. What he said was that the Armenian Old Folks
Home objected and they signed the petition that Mr. Dooley submitted to
the Planning Commission.
Mr. Andrew stated that when the Commission makes a motion for rezoning it is
because the Commission has studied the area and feels it should be rezoned
in order to eliminate spasmodic requests for rezoning. It was with just this
in mind that we asked the Planning Department to draw up proposed zoning of
the Middlebelt Corridor.
Mr. Dooley stated that this area has nothing to do with the Commission's
plan, and that he was just saying that this is beautiful land and why can't
it stay that way. This area is 97% single family residential. Why use a
magnifying glass to find 9 acres of land and decide to go multiple and why
do you want this 9 acres:3of land developed so soon?
Mr. Tunis advised Mr. Dooley that he had represented the people A-l. However,
he advised Mr. Dooley that he had made several vague references and that he
had been before the Commission too often to let his inuendos get by. He went
on to say that the Commission is selected to represent the people for the job
of planning the City. In no way, shape or form did the Commission make any
decision on anything that would hurt the people. Mr. Tunis then asked Mr.
Dooley what he represented and what is he talking about?
Mr. Dooley stated that he represented the people of Wentworth Avenue which
deadends, the majority of the people of Hidden Lane. Oporto north to Puritan
and south of Puritan to Greenland. He further stated he was not interested
in any part of this proposal other than south of Wentworth.
Mr. Andrew advised the audience that each item would be taken separately and
that he would announce each, and that the audience was to speak on the
announced item only.
Mr. Andrew announced ITEM 7 - Southwest corner of Middlebelt and Wentworth Ave.
Mrs. Dorothy Bruce, 29218 Broadmoor (Madison Civic Association) was present
and read a letter from the Civic Association she was representing. The
letter applies to all items and is on file with the Planning Office.
Mrs. Ruth Metzel, 29593 Puritan stated that she and her husband objected to
residential property being put to use for apartment houses.

Mr. Abe Veestere, 29530 Wentworth was present and asked why property owners
Mrs. Otto and Armenian Home were not informed of the proposed rezoning of
this property?
Mr. Andrew advised that legal notice was published in the Livonia Observer,
and all property owners on record were notified.
Mrs. Judith Wall, 29539 Wentworth wanted to know if this were zoned to multiple
dwelling would they have to sell that property.
Mr. Tunis advised that any zoning change would affect the next use and does
not affect what is there now.
Mr. Richard Matuzak, 18701 Van advised the Commission that the letter had
come by regular postage, not certified. He also asked the Commission why
they felt obligated to zone land for developers.
Mr. Andrew stated that if the Commission has reason to believe that an existing
zoning classification is inappropriate then the Commission can initiate a
petition to rezone the land to another zoning classification that is more
appropriate in the estimation of the Commission.
There was no one else wishing to be heard on this item.
Mr. Andrew announced ITEM 1 - Northwest corner of Middlebelt and Greenland Ave.
There was no one wishing to be heard on this item.
Mr. Andrew announced ITEM 2 - Lot 333a East side of Middlebelt & Greenland Ave.
between Grove and Terrence from RUF to R-7.
Mrs. Dorothy Bruce stated that they do not want R-7 in their area and further
they do not want it in the City of Livonia at all.
Mrs. Judith Wall wanted to know if this area is the Hamell store property.
Mr. Andrew stated that to the best of his knowledge he did not believe-
Mr. Abney owned it.
Mr. Goodet, 16104 Middlebelt asked whether once this was zoned to R-7 would
they have to sell to R-7? He also asked about taxes.
Mr. Andrew stated that the policy of this City as of this moment is that land
1E: is taxed on the basis of use and not on the basis of zoning alone and as a
residence it will be taxed as residential property.
Mrs. Rupp, 16790 Middlebelt was present and objected to the rezoning.
Mrs. Session, 16116 Middlebelt was present and objected to the rezoning.

9331

to the rezoning.
Mr. Hand stated that no one could ever dispossess anyone of their property
and that the Commission was trying to develop a plan that serves the best
interest for the people in that area. He stated that the people may not
agree with this but nevertheless the Commission is trying to do the best
for the majority in the area.
Mr. Talbot stated that they had good commercial development on Middlebelt,
better than between 6 and 7 Mile and the Commission was trying to avoid the
duplication of 6 and 7 Mile Roads.

There was no one wishing to be heard on this item.
Mr. Andrew announced ITEM 4 - East side of Middlebelt between Broadmoor and
Sunny dale.
Mrs. Bruce stated that she objected to mass rezoning and instead wants parcels
to come up one at a time and wants to evaluate each proposal on its own merits.
Mr. Pinto advised her that all property is zoned on the basis of land use and
not on architectural considerations, and more importantly the more desirable
uses are permitted in C-1 and the least desirable more highly intensified uses
need C-2 zoning.
Mr. Tangora, representing the onwer of Lots 234, 235 and 236 - property known
as the dog kennels, was present and stated his objections to the change to
C-1 from C-2. It was objectional to them because they want to sell this property
and leaving it C-2 would permit them a better selling advantage.
