(2) This street vacating has been recommended by the Division of Engineering for reasons that this is a housekeeping duty as for years these streets have been carried on our Act 51 reports as normal travelled roadways. (3) It is obvious from field observation that these are . not truly streets but part of a general parking lot and therefore should not be reported to the State for purpose of Act 51 monies being received by the City. (4) In order to logically erase these streets from the aforementioned reports and eliminate some potential liability on the City's part for accidents, etc., occurring within these street rights of way (parking lot) , it is recommended by the Division of Engineering that these streets be vacated. (5) All reporting utility companies have no objection to the granting of this vacating petition. • 5576 FURTHER RESOLVED, that notice of the above public hearing was published in the official newspaper, the Observer-Eccentric, under date of May 23, 1974 and notice of such hearing was sent to the Detroit Edison Company, Michigan Bell Telephone Company Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company, Consumers Power Company, City Departments and petitioner as listed in the Proof of Service.

George Marston: I own building on the east side of Blackburn and I want 32478 Plymouth to know what will be done with the sidewalk. Mr. Shane: Explained the walkway plans to Dr. Marston. Pres. Civic Assoc. Did you take a traffic study? 9910 Cranston Mr. Shane: We did have a Throughfare Study Plan done recently and it was recommended that when you have a situation such as this you close several streets. Also when we conducted a traffic study we felt that these areas were in an area where there was the most deficient parking and they are two reasons why we picked these particular streets. Pres. Civic Assoc. I suggest that you close the streets temporarily to see What the closing of these two streets will bring. When you put up the brick walls, who will maintain these walls and the shrubbery? Mr. Shane: The landscaping will be maintained by the City because it will be City property. The closing of Hubbard Avenue was done because of the needed safety for the school children. Pres. Civic Assoc. I say again that you should temporarily close those streets. We feel the traffic will be horrible. Mr. Kluver: This is the purpose of the public hearing. Everyone's views can be aired at this time. Mrs. Friedrichs:. Is it within our authority to advise the Traffic Dept. about the proper signs? • • 5577 Mr. Shane: You can make it a condition of the petition but the Traffic Department would have to decide the signs to be erected that would be proper. Mr. Talbot: I do not feel that many people of the subdivision know of the plans to close off the traffic on these two streets. Therefore, I feel that this item should be tabled because not enough people know of it. Mr. Falk: We have paid professional people to advise us about the closing of these two streets. I am ready to vote on this tonite. Mrs. Taylor: Can you poll your residents within the next two weeks? Pres. of Civic Yes, I can.

William The building will face south and it is completely fenced on all Lindhout: four sides. It is our idea to maintain limited egress and ingress.

(2) This zoning change will provide for improved uses and a land »iy use buffer thereby insulating the residential property located to the south from the adverse effects of the heavy traffic corridor of Ann Arbor Road and the commercially zoned and used lands to the northeast. I (3) The proposed parking zone is needed to provide for offstreet parking to more adequately serve the professional service development of the property, which professional service property is of such limited depth so as to render its development impractical and inconsistent with good site planning principles as without the parking zone, all side yards, front and rear yards of the professional zone would have to be devoted to offstreet parking. (4) Parking uses when properly designed, with controlled points of ingress and egress established, proper screening and landscaping installed, will not adversely affect residential uses.
