MINUTES OF THE 262nd SPECIAL
MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD BY THE
CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
LIVONIA
On Wednesday, December 8, 1971, Mr. Tunis, Acting Chairman, called the 262nd
Special Meeting of the City Planning Commission to order at approximately
1:30 a.m.
All members were present as were present for the roll call for the 236th Regular
Meeting and Public Hearings.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Hand and seconded by Mr. Kluver, it was
#12-337-71 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been on
December 7, 1971 on Petition 71-11-1-68 as submitted by
Robert C. Horvath to rezone property located on the south
side of Eight Mile Road between Farmington and Gill Roads
in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 4, from RUF to P, the City
Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City
Council that Petition 71-11-1-68 be denied for the follow-
ing reasons:
(1) The development of a major commercial parking facility
in this location would adversely affect the stability
of the adjacent residential development and it would
tend to convert all the residential development presently
existing between the area under petition and Farmington
Road to non-residential uses.
(2) The proposed zoning classification would discourage the
continued use and enjoyment of the residentially zoned
and developed properties located to the east.
(3) The proposed zoning classification would be detrimental
to and adversely affect the orderly and appropriate
development of the surrounding area.
(4) The area under petition is in conflict with the Planning
Commission's suggested guidelines for land use in this
sector of the City.
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 notice of such hearing
was sent to the Detroit Edison Company, Consumers Power Company
and City Departments as listed in the Proof of Service.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Falk, Taylor, Hand, Kluver,*Talbot, Tunis
NAYS: Pinto, Merrion
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: Andrew
*Mr. Talbot stated that he has been consistently in favor of this petition
• 9328
but is voting tonight in this manner simply to move this petition along
to the City Council where the final decision is to be made. He stated
he has supported this petition because he feels it is good land use plan-
ning as well as a good tax base for the City of Livonia, but feels it has
been studied long and often enough by the City Planning Commission and it
is now time to pass it along to the City Council for final determination.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Kluver, seconded by Mr. Tunis and unanimously
adopted, it was
RESOLVED that, the 262nd Special Meeting held by the
City Planning Commission on December 8, 1971 be
adjourned at approximately 1:35 a.m.
