' Pieroni, Attorney for David E. Auer, to rezone property located
at the southeast corner of Ann Arbor Trail and Wayne Road in the
Southwest 1/4 of Section 33, from RUF and C-1 to R-7.
George Mayor: The petitioner is providing a large amount of open space.
Attorney for He had considered the possibility of building single
Petitioner family housing but because of cost of parcel he does not
feel it is feasible to build single family residences.
Because of the park land to the south he feels this is an
ideal spot for R-7.
The road plan provides a number of access roads that will
avoid additional traffic problems in this area of the City.
Because of the large amount of commercial in the area already,
he feels the corner use can be used to a better advantage.
Mr. Andrew: What's the number of egress and ingress points to Ann Arbor Trail?
Mr. Mayor: Two on Ann Arbor Trail and one on Wayne Road. Traffic
is brought back from the intersection.
4
Mr. Andrew: Is 10 Wayne Road under jurisdiction of Wayne County Road Commission?
Mrs. Wisler arrived at the meeting at 8:10 p.m.
i
- ✓ 4V
.Mr. Nagy: Yes, it is. .
J.R.Batts: They will be building where traffic is already a problem.
. . 34554 Grandon The street is ill equipped to handle traffic now. We do not
feel there is a need for a residential area of this nature.
I
Mr. Andrew: What is the report from the Traffic Division?
Mr. Nagy: If petition is approved a 37 ft. wide street is required.
Appropriate acceleration and deceleration lane will be required
at a point of egress and ingress. Ann Arbor Trail has not been
dedicated ' to its fullest.
M. Kilarski: Is this project going to be government subsidized?
34299 Dover
Mr. Major: Conventional financing will be required.
M. Kilarski: What's going to happen to the traffic in this area?
Mr. Andrew: The only way I can answer your question is that if the traffic
gets so severe we may have to install a light at Ann Arbor Trail
and Norwich.
Mr. Garms: Is there really a need for this type of development in Livonia?
34623 Grandon I am really more concerned with traffic in this area.
10 John Havis: The traffic in this area is very bad. Now with these additional
9020 Hanlon buildings it will only be worse.
4-
J. Meister: Westland can't fill their apartments, what do we need these for?
J 8811 Norwich
4
Mr. Bass: What is the proposed rental cost for apartments in this site?
Resident
Mr. Major In 1972 at the time of the original study of the cost it was
proposed to be $250 to $280.
Mr. Wilcox: How many apartments are going in?
8816 Norwich
Mr. Major: 174
Mr. Hand: The caliber of apartment dwellers of this city are all very high.
There are very few children. I think this is an excellent place for
this type of development.
Mr. Wilcox: Did Mr. Auer ever consider making these apartments for senior
citizens only?
Mr. Major: I do not know whether Mr. Auer ever considered this.
Ii0Mr. Wilcox: I was thinking along these lines to cut down on traffic.
Mr. Sullivan: I am worried about traffic. I think this should be held in
09050 Hanlon abeyance until the traffic situation on Ann Arbor Trail could be
4 analyzed.
.l7Ll
Mr. Hiller: The traffic picture never changes. A 2" cap will not help this
. Resident road when the freeze comes.
'41 Larry Poplar: What happened to the apartment ordinance.
/ 9024 Laurel
Mr. Andrew: It was considered invalid by the Supreme Court of Michigan.
Resident: What keeps this development from going to "pot"? How do they
know they can rent for the high dollar?
Mr. Major: Mr. Auer is trying to draw people from Detroit. He knows it will
be attractive to many people.
Resident: Has Mr. Auer ever built any of these complexes in Livonia or
9023 Hanlon surrounding areas?
Mr. Major: Not in Livonia but has in surrounding areas. Mr. Auer is still
manager of all the apartments he has built. In regard to your
Master Plan, he is trying to develop this in accordance with the
plan. He was turned down from commercial. He cannot build RUF,
it is not profitable. I think my client has taken every step to
provide for a very high quality good development in this range.
