MINUTES OF THE 266th REGULAR MEETING
AND A PUBLIC HEARING HELD BY THE CITY
PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
LIVONIA
On Tuesday, November 13, 1973, the City Planning Commission of the City of
Livonia held its 266th Regular Meeting and a Public Hearing at the Livonia
City Hall, 33001 Five Mile Road, Livonia, Michigan.
Mr. Daniel R. Andrew, Chairman called the Public Hearing and Regular Meeting
to order at 8:05 p.m. with approximately 75 interested persons in the audience.
Members Present: Daniel R. Andrew Joseph J. Talbot Charles Pinto
Francis M. Hand Suzanne Taylor (9:00) Joseph J. Falk
Herman H. Kluver Esther Friedrichs
Members Absent: David F. Merrion (California, Company Business)
John J. Nagy, City Planner; Ralph H. Bakewell, Planner IV; H. G. Shane, Planner IV;
and Robert M. Feinberg, Assistant City Attorney, were also present.
Mr. Andrew informed the audience that if a petition on the evening's agenda
involved a question of rezoning or vacating then the Planning Commission would
only recommend to the City Council that certain action be taken whereupon the
,or` Council would ultimately decide whether or not to approve or deny the petition.
Further, if a petition involved a waiver of use approval that is denied, the
petitioner had ten days in which to appeal the decision to the Council.
Mr. Kluver, Secretary announced the first item on the agenda, Petition 73-9-1-32
by Marvin W. Cherrin requesting to rezone property located on
the south side of Seven Mile Road between Woodring and Shadyside
in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 10, from R-1 to C-1.
Mr. Nagy: There is a petition on file signed by 64 residents of
Shadyside and Woodring protesting the rezoning of this
property. There is also a letter on file from Mr. and
Mrs. Robert L. Donakowski recommending denial
of this zoning change. Mr. and Mrs. William J. Johnson
recommend that this petition be denied.
The Engineering Department notifies that Seven Mile Road
has not been dedicated to its fullest extent. There are
no storm sewers to service the subject site.
Mr. Cherrin: We filed this petition because we find ourselves in a very
Petitioner funny predicament. The ordinance that was in effect at the
time that this was purchased would have allowed the 110 ft.
commercial depth that existed under that original ordinance
and would have been usable under that ordinance. The present
setback requirements for C-1 is 75 ft. and I also understand
that the present rear yard requirement is 20 ft. which means
11111; if we are to use this lot we would only be able to build a
building 15 ft. in depth. The area to our west is zoned
C..2 which is a heavier use and its depth is far greater than
what we are seeking.
5439
Mr. Andrew: How long have you owned the property?
if Mr. Cherrin: Four to five years, maybe a little longer.
Mr. Andrew: Are you the title holder?
Mr. Cherrin: We have been purchasing this property on land contract.
Mr. Andrew: Does the petition filed by the residents indicate reasons
for objection?
Mr. Nagy: No,they just recommend that it be denied.
Mr. Hand: If you have owned the property for five years why have
you not developed it prior to this? When you purchased this
property what did you intend to do?
Mr. Cherrin: I am an attorney and at the time it was purchased it was to
build a law office on the property. We did not go ahead
with it at that time because my associates and myself could
not make the move at that time. There was a house on the
property at that time. The City then condemned the house
on the property, and we subsequently cleared the house off.
Mr. Hand: Was it purchased at C-1 zoning?
Mr. Cherrin: Yes, it was. We did not know that we could only build a
'" 15 ft. building at that time. We purchased the property
then discovered this problem.
Mr. Hand: With a P.S. zoning district could he then proceed with his
original purpose?
Mr. Nagy: P.S. would reduce the yard requirements, provide for more
buildable area and limit the use of the property.
Mr. Hand: I disagree with the zoning to the west. I think the Commission
should do something about this zoning to the west. I feel
personally that a less intensive use than C-2 should be
applied to that area.
Mr. Hand: Where is the need for more commercial at this time?
Mr. Cherrin: It is not a good investment for us to build a small office
building. There is a very limited market for professional
office. During the period of time that we have held this
property, we have been watching other property further west
and on Farmington Road. We find that there is a need for more
commercial development along Seven Mile Road both east and
west of Farmington Road. This is predominantly a commercial
area and we recognize that if we build a commerical building
properly zoned we will have to build a building and compete
0 with other buildings compatible with the rest of the buildings
around us. The area today is very consistent with the zoning
*IIIVL
we are seeking. There is a very inflationary spiral going
on and we are in a position that if we do not take some action
now it will make it impractical to do anything with that property
because of the inflation.
5440
Mr. Hand: Besides K-Mart there has not been any additional commercial '
development. We denied the request of Mr. Maiorana for the
very reasons I feel work against this petition. I think
this Commission should be very careful with what we do in
that area.
Mr. Cherrin: That would be akin to spot zoning. On the south side of K-Mart
I have seen some commercial development to the south of Seven
Mile. I have seen commercial on the north side also. I feel
we can make a good use out of this property as a commercial
property.
Mr. Hand: There's a strong tendency that once a commercial store is
established then you immediately find satellite parasite
commercial in the area. This develops a traffic problem.
If you feel there is a need for the shoppers in that area
then it is up to you to prove that there is a need for what
you are planning in putting there. What shopping can you
provide to the residents that they do not already have?
Mr. Cherrin: That is an unfair question. I .think the people of Livonia should
have the privilege of more than one store to do their comparison
shopping. They are entitled to.
Mr. Talbot: The property that is zoned C-1, you bought that four or five
years ago. Now the piece you have petitioned for, are you
buying that or do you have an option on that?
Mr. Cherrin: The 110 ft. of frontage and the piece we are petitioning tonight
was all purchased at the same time. It's all part of an overall
parcel.
Mr. Falk: I am against this because I think K-Mart has taken all the
shopping available in this area. The drugstore is no longer
there and there is a hideous Dally Carpet in that spot now.
Mr. Andrew: The purpose of the rezoning then, if it is successful, would
be for commercial stores to be erected as opposed to a law
office for your use.
Mr. Cherrin: That is correct.
Mr. Morris: He should have investigated the setback which was already
Resident there when he purchased the property. The reason we did not
list our reasons on the petition is because we have a safe
area to live in. His proposed commercial would give as a
service drive which is a safety hazard. The lack of sewers
would cause us problems also.
Dale Lamb: I have lived there 18 years and this is the first I know
18925 Loveland that this was classified C-2. This is a rural type of community.
We have been fighting rats in our area. I have pictures of
the area on Seven Mile that will show its just the spot for
rodents.
5441
Mr. Ford: Mr. Cherrin spoke of financial loss he would experience.
19175 Shadyside If he thinks it is helping my house values it is not. We
do not need any more traffic or congestion.
' Resident: The area that is zoned C-2 is not being used for commercial
18940 Westmore it's being used for residential other than the church, barber
and Wolfe Realty.
Mr. Cherrin: I appreciate the concern of the adjacent property owners
but I would appreciate them to consider the fact that I have
my good money invested in the property.
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. Falk and unanimously adopted
it was,
#11-270-73 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held

in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 10, from R-1 to C-1, the City
Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council
that Petition 73-9-1-32 be denied for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed expansion of commercial zoning would be
-- hazardous to the neighboring residential area.
4iLd
(2) It would promote an expansion of and an increase in
intensity of commercial development which would generate
an increase in volume of commercial traffic.
(3) There is already an over abundance of commercially zoned land
much of which is vacant that can accommodate any needed
expansion in commercial development for comparision shopping
purposes.
(4) There is adequate appeal procedures provided in the zoning
ordinance to overcome problems of practical difficulty and
hardship when the specific standards of the district
regulations cannot be reasonably complied with as well as
when a parcel of record has two zoning districts established
across it.
