Mr. Andrew: Will the adjacent parcel be for parking? Mr. Sobel: No, it will be for the expansion of the building. Mr. Hand: Does that create parking restrictions? Mr. Shane: The parcel immediately to the west would have to be used in A part for parking. Mr. Martin: Will there be a wall on the back?

Section 22, from RUF to P.S. , the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 73-3-1-9 be approved for the following reasons: (1) This proposed zoning request will allow a consistent pattern of land use by linking two like, existing zoning districts through the rezoning of intervening lands. (2) This rezoning is consistent with good planning concepts of creating buffer zones between a major traffic artery and a residential subdivision. (3) The nature and intensity of uses allowed by the P.S. zoning district are compatible to and in harmony with surrounding land uses. FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above public hearing was published in the official newspaper the Livonia Observer, under date of April 11, 1973 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.

Jack Akey requesting to rezone property located on the east side of Middlebelt Road between Terrence and Sunnydale in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 13, from RUF to C-2. Mr. Shane: The Engineering Department advises the south 18 feet is encumbered with an easement to accommodate Drain Sewer #5. The building will have to be built further south to accommodate the sewer. David The building is needed because presently Elain Powers Josephson: Figure Salon is taking all the available spaces for parking at their present location and his other tenants are becoming unhappy. Mr. Hand: Why C-2? ° Mr. Josephson: So that if Elaine Powers cannot go in we will be able to put someone else in there. • 5287 Mr. Hand: This is the creeping destruction of Middlebelt Road between Five and Six Mile Road. I am totally opposed to the petition. Mr. Falk: When project went in across the street, I felt the same way about your existing building. Mr. Josephson: We put up a nice building and keep the landscaping nice and provide ample parking. Mr. Hand: Middlebelt Road is a north/south artery which will in five or ten years carry substantially more traffic than it does now. We will create a traffic hazard in that area. We do not need to use every mile road for commercial projects. Mr. Josephson: I want to point out that the short strip of property adjacent to the parcel we are applying for will be used for parking and a greenbelt area. We will finish it off any way you would like. Mr. Hand: Sunnydale was to be the cutoff point of commercial area, now it is beyond that. Mr. Josephson: All you would see would be a nice building some parking and a beautiful greenbelt. Mr. Talbot: Mr. Josephson stated he would be willing to go C-1. The question in my mind is are we going to be voting on C-1 or C-2? Mx. Andrew: If the petitioner will file a letter tomorrow morning to amend his petition to C-1 that is what we will vote on. Mr. Josephson: We would like to amend our petition to C-1. Mr. Andrew: We must caution you that this does not guarantee that we will vote in your favor if you amend to C-1. Mr. Josephson: I understand. Mrs. Sessions: Why is Mr. Hand so against commercial. I do not feel that this 16116 Middlebelt property is suitable for residential. I live there and it is not a good place for residences. Mr. Hand: I do not want Middlebelt to go into a Grand River or a Plymouth Road. Resident: I am against the petition. There was no one present wishing to be heard and the Chairman closed the public hearing on this item. On a motion duly made by Mr. Hand, seconded by Mr. Kluver and unanimously adopted it was, 5288 #5-104-73 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on May 1, 1973 on Petition 73-3-1-10 as submitted by David H. Josephson & L. Jack Akey requesting to rezone property located on the east side of Middlebelt Road between Terrence and Sunnydale in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 13, from RUF to C-2, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 73-3-1-10 as amended to C-1 be denied for the following reasons: (1) This proposed rezoning would provide for the expansion of an existing commercial district in an area which presently has an abundance of such zoning. (2) Commercial zoning allows for land uses that by their nature and intensity of use, will not provide for the necessary buffer areas between adjacent, existing residential homes and intensely developed commercial property. (3) The proposed rezoning is in violation of the Planning Commission's Master Plan for lands located adjacent to Middlebelt Road between Five Mile Road and Six Mile Road. (4) This rezoning proposal violates good planning concepts in that it would provide for an expansion of existing commercial zoning in such a manner as to further add to the developing "strip zoning pattern". 1E: FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above public hearing was published in the official newspaper, the Livonia Observer, under date of April 11, 1973 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.

Mr. Shane: A letter from the Engineering Department stated that it will be necessary to dedicate an additional 13 ft. Storm drainage is predicated on Drain #8 which will not be built for two more years. Fred Barton 19844 Purlingbrook: I have a petition to submit to the Commission from area property owners that wish this to remain zoned as it is. We do not objact to him building houses but it must stay with the zoning. It _.I: Mr. Hand: If a parcel is split in RUF lots, what amount of houses can he get? Mr. Shane: About six. 5289 Mrs. D'Arcy: Will we be-facing the back of his houses? 30301 Melvin Mr. Andrew: You will be looking at the back end of other houses. C. Hopper: I bought the house on E-11 from Mr. Allen just a few 19991 months ago. I bought because it was an RUF zoning. Purlingb rook Mrs. Carpenter: I object to the rezoning. 20224 Purlingb rook Mrs. Hall: I object to the rezoning. Mrs. Trivis: I am against the rezoning. 19823 Purlingbrook Rita Spence: I am against the rezoning. 19980 Milburn Mrs. Justuner: I am against the rezoning. 20124 P Purlingbrook Mr. Merrion: Can you develop this property in RUF zoning? Mr. Allen: I can put six houses there. I would have to extend the road. Mr. Merrion: That could be done and you could get about 6 houses there. Is that right? Mr. Allen: I can get three on Purlingbrook but I do not want to go that way. Mr. Hand: There are only a few areas in the City that have not been split all to pieces. Mr. Shane: There has been a number of splits in that area. The best route is a subdivision. Mr. Hand: Why can't you build on RUF. Mr. Allen: The sewer and roads will cost too much. • Mrs. Taylor: Does the street have to go in? • Mr. Shane: If he subdivides the land; yes. Mr. Adams: I do not live in that area but if this petition is denied can the people come back and ask the City to buy this land for park purposes? Mr. Andrew: It would have to be petitioned. We would not vote on it. There was no one else present wishing to be heard and the Chairman closed the public hearing on this item. 5290 On a motion duly made by Mr. Hand, seconded by Mrs. Friedrichs and unanimously adopted it was, 1E #5-105-73 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on May 1, 1973 on Petition 73-3-1-11 as submitted by David L. Allen, Jr., Custom Builders, requesting to rezone property located on the • west side of Purlingbrook, north of Pembroke in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 2, from RUF to R-3, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 73-3-1-11 be denied for the following reasons: (1) The lot sizes allowed within an R-3 District are inconsistent with the majority of existing lots within the general vicinity of the proposed rezoning. • (2) There is no need for the proposed rezoning in that the subject property is of a size and shape consistent with the general character of the area. FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above public hearing was published in the official newspaper, the Livonia Observer, under date of April 11, 1973 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.

Mr. Andrew: Is this for more building or just for parking? Mr. Pulice: For more parking and may be eventually for future building. Mr. Hand: Would there be a time period in which he would have to develop? Mr. Shane: No. Mr. Merrion: Is there a house on 93B? Mr. Shane: Yes, there is.

(2) The properties located along this general area of Five Mile Road are of such shallow depth due to the recent widening of Five Mile Road that proper and equitable development consistent with good land planning principles requires additional properly located lands for offstreet parking purposes. r (3) This rezoning proposal is consistent with the Civic Center development plans.

Mr. Sund: I am desirous of building a clinic on this parcel. R. Fracassi: 18963 Milburn I am against rezoning. We are having difficulty on the next street with the clinic because there is no easement coming off from the clinic. There is no adequate parking for the clinic. It is a high accident corner. Traffic is increasing all the time and there is just four lanes. Mr. Pinto: If we take both sides..of Seven Mile together it will come out to be the majority of residential. Mr. Panizzoli: I have a petition I would like to submit against the rezoning. 19034 Milburn Mr. Coleman: The traffic is terrible. I was involved in an accident at this 1E: 18958 Milburn corner.

Mr. Parker: It will be more attractive to sell. 1E: Mr. Merrion: What if the property on Ann Arbor Road were zoned P.S. Would it still be attractive for resale? Mr. Parker: Yes, it would be. I 1 5293 Mr. Pinto: I would not grant the parking at this time because I would not want to encourage any C-1 in that area. That parking poses an intrusion into residential. Mr. Parker: The C-1 is not attractive if there is no parking behind. Mr. Talbot: If Ann Arbor Road is going to be widened then C-1 would be even less attractive for that site. Mr. Shane: When we did the study for this area, we did recommend that that C-1 property be changed to a P.S. classification and to do that you would need the "P" zoning for the back. Mr. Hand: Dr. Lapin does not intend to expand his existing clinic. Dr. Lapin: I do not have a building there now. I am not going to use the property at all. It is already zoned C-1. I want to reach more of the buying public. Resident I am against the rezoning. 9466 Houghton Mrs. Lapin: We bought it zoned C-1,, I do not want us to have to change it now. 1 Grace Campbell: A house could be built on that lot. 14066 Houghton E Rex Adams: I do not feel C-1 is proper zoning.

Mr. Andrew: Has School Board considered any other zoning than C-2? Mr. Akey: No, they have not. Mr. Hand: I feel you might consider some other uses for this area. Mr. Hunt: Did I understand that Newburgh is a City street? 9 817 Newburgh Mr. Andrew: Yes, the County improved it and then gave it to the City to maintain. Mr. Paddock: We donated that property 100 years ago. Sentimentally, 9828 Porterman I am against this rezoning. Mr. Hand: Would board consider alternatives to C-2?

(2) The poor physical features of the property which is the subject of this zoning request makes development for commercial purposes extremely difficult and not in the interest of good planning. The poor physical features referred to are as follows: a. The shape of the site as it relates to frontage on Ann Arbor Road ( a major thoroughfare) . b. The existing severe topographic changes across the site particularly with respect to available access points to the abutting roadways make necessary ingress and egress for commercial purposes to the 5295 property extremely hazardous both with respect 1Eto dangerous conflicts with through traffic particularly on the abutting major thoroughfare. (3) The surrounding uses in the area, the close proximity of the Rouge Parkway with respect to its attractive view and available open space, the natural topographic features of the site as they relate to providing an obstructed view of said parkway all require development of this site for non-commercial facilities which would __take advantage of the foregoing attributes in addition to minimizing any traffic conflicts within the area.
