MINUTES OF THE 308th REGULAR MEETING
AND PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD BY THE CITY
PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
LIVONIA
4On Tuesday, January 6, 1976 the City Planning. Commission of the City of Livonia held
',its 308th Regular Meeting and Public Hearings in the Livonia City Hall, 33001 Five Mile
Road, Livonia, Michigan.
Mr. Daniel R. Andrew, Chairman, called the Public Hearings and Regular Meeting to order
at 8:00 p.m., with approximately 30 interested persons in the audience.
Members present: Daniel R. Andrew Francis M. Hand Esther Friedrichs
William Scruggs Herman H. Kluver Judith Scurto
Suzanne Wisler
Members absent: Charles Pinto Joseph J. Falk (Lansing)
Messrs. John J. Nagy, Planning Director; 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 tonight 's agenda involves a question
of rezoning or vacating, the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City
Council and the City Council, after holding a public hearing, will make the final deter-
mination as to whether a petition is approved or denied. If a petition requesting a waiver
of use is denied, the petitioner has ten days in which to appeal the decision to the City
Council. If he does not appeal to the City Council, the petition is terminated.
Mrs. Wisler, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 75-12-1-31
ILby Brentwood Professional Association requesting to rezone
property located on the south side of Eight Mile Road, east
of Brentwood in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 1, from P.O.
to P.S.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division stating that
there are no City maintained water mains to service the subject site and
in addition, it appears that approximately 50% of the site is involved
in designated flood plain area. That is the extent of our correspondence.
Lawrence A. Thompson, 19500 Middlebelt, petitioner: I did make this petition but I
brought Mr. Freed, the Architect, who I think is more qualified to
answer your questions as to why we want this change.
Mr. Andrew: Mr. Thompson, you are the petitioner?
Mr. Thompson: No, I am the Attorney for the petitioner.
Mr. Donald Freed, 19500 Middlebelt, Architect: We have two pieces of property involved with
the development. The one to the west is zoned P.S. providing for low-
rise buildings. The property to the east is zoned for high-rise build-
ings. It is our intent to build low-rise buildings. Because of the nature
of the site, to get a one-story building on the site we must project into
this area to a small degree. On the basis of high-rise, we would not
be allowed to build one-story. We will be able to satisfy the parking
l requirements. We will also be before you again to seek site plan approval.
We believe a one-story building is more compatible to the area and will
blend in with surrounding development more than a multi-story building.
That is the reason we are seeking this change in zoning.
5971
Mr. Andrew: Will you take advantage of the existing footings?
Mr. Freed: No, wewill not be able to.
,There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Andrew, Chairman,
,declared the public hearing on Petition 75-12-1-31 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mrs. Friedrichs, seconded by Mr. Scruggs and unanimously adopted,
it was
#1-1-76 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held on January 6, 1976
on Petition 75-12-1-31 as submitted by Brentwood Professional Association
requesting to rezone property located on the south side of Eight Mile
Road, east of Brentwood in the Northwest 1/L of Section 1, from P.O.
to P.S., the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City
Council that Petition 75-12-1-31 be approved for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zoning will provide for physical develop-
ment more appropriate to the existing development of the area.
(2) The site of the proposed change of zoning, being physically
bisected by a flood plain, separates this parcel from the
balance of the P.O. District thereby leaving the balance of
the property more logically associated with the existing P.S.
District located to the west.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was published
in the official newspaper, the Observer/Eccentric, under date of Decem-
ber 18,1975, 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, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
Mrs. Wisler, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 75-12-1-32
by Morris and Barbara Huler requesting to rezone property
located on the west side of Stamford between Clarita and
Curtis in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 9, from R-3 to R-2.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division which states
that "The platting of this area as a subdivision will require the con-
struction of a full width pavement on Curtis Road and Stamford Avenue,
as 'well as Clarita and Pickford Avenue east from Stamford Avenue. The
above pavement construction will necessitate right-of-way for the north
one-half of Clarita Avenue as well as the south one-half of Curtis Road,
immediately east of Stamford Avenue, to accommodate transitional areas
of pavement. Further requirements for this subdivision will be developed
by this office when final engineering plans have been received. "
Mr. Andrew: What is the reason for this request?
Mr. Morris Huler, petitioner: The reason for my request is that it is my understanding
that in August the property to the east on the other side of Stamford
was replatted to accommodate 65 and 70 foot lots. In my petition, I
indicated that I felt that use of similar lot sizes here 'would be more
compatible to the subdivision that is contemplated.
5912
Mr. Bruce Buchholz, 18253 Myron: My property is Lots 122 and 423 and Lots 438 and 439,
fronting on Stamford. I would like to present to the Commission signa-
tures on a petition against this zoning change and I would like you to
know. that everyone I called on signed the' petition as being definitely
against the zoning change.
Mr. Andrew, Chairman, read the petition for the record. The petition has been signed by
IL approximately 23 to 25 families, and this will be incorporated as part
of the public record.
Mr. Buchholz: I only canvassed the east side of Whitby from Clarita to Curtis and the
west side of Myron from Clarita to Curtis . I was unaware of how far
from the property people were sent notices and felt the closest properties
should be contacted.
Mr. Andrew: The property located on Whitby Road in Hellman Park Subdivision #2--it
looks like they are about 70' x 120' .
Mr. Nagy: 76' x 118' for those lots beginning on Curtis extending to Pickford.
From Pickford north they are all 80' x 111 ' .
Mr. Andrew: The lots between Pickford and Clarita are 76' x 118' ?
Mr. Nagy: Right.
Mr. Andrew: On the east side of Stamford where we had lot splits, apparently those
are 65' , 70' and 75' lots.
Mr. Nagy: That is 'correct. The lots were split by action of the City Council.
1!:
Mr. Buchholz: When was this split taken care of? I was never aware of arty proposed
lot split. I was never sent a notice.
Mr. Nagy: A lot split is different from rezoning of land. A property owner has
the right to request a division of a lot of record. They were platted
as 50' lots but the owner saw fit to combine and divide lots to increase
the lots from 50' to 70' .
Mr. Buchholz: They are zoned for 80' lots.
Mr. Nagy: The Council can divide the lots but the owner still has to go to the
Zoning Board of Appeals to ask for a waiver of the R-3 regulations in
order to be issued a building permit.
Mr. Andrew: I guess I don't understand the opposition to the proposed rezoning from
the standpoint that as you relate the proposed lots with the pre-prelim-
inary plat it indicates lots south of Pickford to be 75' x 220' which is
almost double the area of the lots that they would abut on Whitby Road
and as they relate to the lots across Stamford, they exceed those lots
in area and frontage. What is the problem?
Mr. Buchholz: All of the area is zoned R-3, 80' x 100' minimum lot size. Why should
this area be zoned anything other than R-3?
['Mr. Andrew: If the Whitby Road lots are 70' x 118', why is it zoned R-3?
•
5973
Mr. Nagy: I wasn't Planning Director at that time but I can surmise that it was
the closest zoning classification that approximated the size of the
lots. Also, the zoning notice that went out did not have benefit of
the pre-preliminary plat.
4
[Mr. Andrew: We will adjourn the public hearing temporarily on this item to give the
people a chance to look at the plat because it might have some bearing
on the question.
The public hearing on Petition 75-12-1-32 was temporarily adjourned and a copy of the
pre-preliminary plat furnished interested persons in the audience.
Mrs. Wisler, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda. is Petition 75-12-1-33
by John D. Dinan requesting to rezone property located at the
northwest corner of Seven Mile and Merriman Roads in the
Southeast l/4 of Section 3, from R-1 to P.S.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter dated December 15, 1975 from the Engineering Division
in the file which states there are no apparent engineering problems con-
nected with the development of the site.
Mr. Mark Wieland, 31609 Gable: My wife and I talked this over and we are dead against
any rezoning of this parcel to other than residential. We feel the
safety of the children 'we expect to have some day would be endangered
and also I feel the value of my home would be decreased. Whenever you
go a mile each way you have a shopping center. We have a shopping
center here and a mile down the other way you have the K-Mart shopping
center. There are plenty areas other than this in which this gentleman
can build his professional service and make a go of it in Livonia.
Mr. Andrew: Thank you very much for your comments .
4
Mrs. Friedrichs: I would like to comment that professional service zoning seems to me to
be an excellent buffer between the small shopping center and the resi-
dential. It is sort of a transitional type of zoning from the parking
and I think it would give you a feeling of open spaces and the advantages
of any other type of use are not as good. A small office building there
well landscaped and set back from the property lines on each side would
give you a feeling of openness and be a real buffer between the shopping
center and the residential.
Mr. Wieland: First of all, I don't think you'll find a better buffer than what is
there now. The trees are a natural buffer. Secondly, I feel traffic
at this corner is continually getting to a point where it is bad. To
draw more traffic into this area -- I just don't buy it.
Mrs. Friedrichs: I think that you are not thinking of the property owner's rights. Some-
thing will be built there and the owner will not keep it there as open
space because you like open space. You could get something much heavier
in the traffic way and much less agreeable like a drive-in or a filling
station; those that would be detrimental to your neighborhood whereas
a good office building would not create much traffic.
Mr. Wieland: I feel it should stay residential.
Mrs. Friedrichs: Would you like to build your home there?
Mr. Wieland: No, not on Merriman Road. What I am saying is--say these people decide
to sell their lots, the frontage on Seven Mile; are we going to make this
all professional service?
Mrs. Friedrichs: No, we are not. That is where it will stop and that is why this will be
a good buffer.
John D. Dinan, petitioner: The rezoning request is for the north 180' of the section
along Merriman and we have already constructed the mall and the parking
lot along Seven Mile. It was felt that a good transition from the parking
lot would be a professional service/office complex of a one story nature,
quite small in relation to the overall development. We contemplate an
8,000 square foot building--equivalent to three or four houses. We feel
we can use the general aesthetic character that we have developed in our
other buildings here. We contemplate making it into professional offices
because we feel there is a demand for professional offices rather than
general offices. The hours are nine to five for doctors and would not
create a nuisance to the property owners to the north. As part of the
construction, we would include a poured wall which would go along the west
and north property lines to protect the residential property to the west
and north.
Mr. Andrew: Do you have a waiver at the present time from the Zoning Board of Appeals
on the wall between the parking lot and residential?
Mr. Dinan: Yes.
'Mrs. Wisler: You already have your curb cuts and driveways in so there would be no
additional drives that would be a nuisance to the adjacent homeowner?
Mr. Dinan: That is correct. All the parking would be in the rear of the building.
Mr. Andrew: If rezoning was accomplished, would it be your intent to start construc-
tion soon?
Mr. Dinan: Yes. This spring as soon as the weather permits. We feel having doctors
and dentists will be providing-a service to the residents.
Mr. Andrew: How many are you speaking of?
Mr. Dinan. Five or six. The normal doctor would use about 1200 square feet. I would
think the maximum would be six.
Mr. Hand: Mr. Wieland, just to maybe give you a little more insight into why we
favor this rezoning and also in support of Mrs. Friedrichs ' position,
this property in its current zoning of R-1 as we view it is not partic-
ularly attractive at this time. Number two, I have a very strong feel-
ing that left R-1, the shopping center in becoming very successful the
normal thing to happen would be to construct another building to the
north of the existing building and extend parking into that area. I am
not interested in seeing the commercial expand. I -think that would be
detrimental. The P.S. classification is a far less intense type of use
by virtue of the fact that it is professional service and you would end
up with a medical facility available to you in the area. It seems like
59/i
a good compromise and I would have to support the petition as presented
on that basis.
Mr. Wieland:11
What type of lighting will there be?
' Mr. Dinan: The commercial concept is different from professional office because
doctors normally work from nine to five. There is no need for parking
lights to be on beyond, say, 7:00 at night. We are using quartz light-
ing, I believe. It is not a large light.
Mr. Andrew: In the event this petition should be approved by the Council, prior to
the time he can pull his building permit he will have to come back to
us for site plan approval at which time we will go into parking, light-
ing, etc. I think your point is extremely valid.
There was no one else wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Andrew, Chairman,
declared the public hearing on Petition 75-12-1-33 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Hand, seconded by Mrs. Friedrichs and unanimously adopted,
it was
#1-2-76 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held on January 6, 1976
on Petition 75-12-1-33 as submitted by John D. Dinan requesting to rezone
property located at the northwest corner of Seven Mile and Merriman Roads
in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 3, from R-1 to P.S., the City Planning
Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 75-12-1-33
be approved for the following reasons:
t (1) The proposed change of zoning will provide for a transitional
and buffer zone separating the commercial parking zone from
the established residential development located to the north.
(2) The proposed change of zoning will not adversely affect the
development of the surrounding area as the P.S. District
regulations are specifically designed so as to ensure harmony
and compatibility of professional development with that of the
abutting residential areas.
(3) The proposed change of zoning is consistent with the Future Land
Use Plan of the City of Livonia as adopted by the City Planning
Commission.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was published
in the official newspaper, the Observer/Eccentric, under date of Decem-
ber 18, 1975, 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, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
Mr. Andrew, Chairman, announced that the public hearing on Petition 75-12-1-32 is recon-
vened at this time.
Mr. Buchholz:IL
Is it not possible to not only have Stamford put through there but to
split those lots again and put another road through there?
Mr. Nagy: No, it is not possible.
13976
Mr. Andrew: There would be only 80' deep lots which would be in violation of the
Zoning Ordinance. 220' minus the 60' right-of-way.
110 Mr. Buchholz: Is there a minimum lot depth?
Mr. Nagy: Yes. It is 120' .
Mr. Buchholz: Me and my neighbors would like to stand with our petition and would
like to require 80' wide lots.
Mrs. Wisler: If you check this plat with this zoning classification, this plat offers
at least the residents on Whitby maximum privacy; the lots are at least
100' deeper than they are presently in Hellman Park which would give you
100' more between you and the people living in this subdivision.
Mrs. Barbara Hetler, 18508 Whitby: That would be excluding the lots that are only 73' x
120' ; they wouldn't be 100' deeper.
Mr. Andrew: That is correct.
Mrs. Hetler: I don't see why the City of Livonia would want to cut the lots down and
build tiny, dinky houses. The people there won't be able to build an
attached garage. Due to the size of homes now, they would have to go to
the Zoning Board of Appeals to get an attached garage.
Mr. Andrew: Then that is a matter of placement. I can't really see where it hurts
anything because these lots are larger than the others between Pickford
and Clarita.
'Mr Buchholz: Isn't it true that R-3 is only 80' x 120' lot size? Why do you need a
zoning change if he already has sufficient square footage?
Mr. Nagy: He must comply with all three standards--the width, depth and area.
Rather than go to the Appeals Board, he is attempting to rezone so all
of his lots can comply with the new zoning standards .
Mr. Scruggs: Mr. Huler, have you looked into what the R-3 is and how many lots you
would have with R-3 versus R-2?
Mr. Huler: To give the objectors the benefit of my thinking, it carne to my attention
in August that there were splits on the east; those lots are 65' and 70' .
You would like to keep this as a park but I have paid taxes on that
property for twenty-two years. Development costs being what they are
today would negate the possibility of a little house. With the difference
between 70 and 80 foot lots, in developing you could be talking $1500.
I have taken these steps to protect this area. The lots on the east side
of Stamford were split to accommodate 65 and 70 foot lots and being develop-
ment costs are as high as they are today, I felt that if I could get lots
somewhat compatible proportionately with those, I or the developer of
Stamford Avenue would be in a position to develop homogenous homes. With
this we can get a similar development but you could have a group of homes
in the neighborhood with a large difference in price with different size
lots. A much better job could be done ultimately by having lots of similar
size and cost structures. Your initial fears were contemplated many months
ago.
5977
Mr. Robert F. Graf, 18524 Whitby: The question was asked did you pursue what you could
do under the R-3.
t
Mr. Ruler: I did not pursue it until this carne up. I did some pre plat work and
did it knowing what was developed across the street where there are 65'
lots, so that each developer can develop in a homogenous way.
Mr. Graf: If it is,approved, it doesn't stop him from going down to the 70'
minimum.
•
Mr. Andrew; As long as he conforms to the requirements, I suppose he can. Mr. Nagy
informs me that it is physically impossible to do what you say.
Mr. Nagy: At 70' you could not get a greater lot yield than what is already shown on
the pre preliminary plat.
Mr. Graf: How many could he get with R-3?
Mr. Nagy: At the 80' x 120', he would lose possibly five to six lots.
Mr. Huler: If I knew the man across the street was contemplating 80' lots, I wouldn't
think of anything else.
Mr. Graf: That property a long time ago was zoned RUF. I have watched the paper
and have yet to see when the property was zoned R-3. Do you have that
information and what was the size of the lots that were split?
Mr. Andrew: 50' .
[ Mr.
Graf: All the property around is going larger; from 80' to 100' . I guess I
was sold a bill of goods when I bought thinking that I bought a lot and
that all the other property around me would be similar.
Mr. Nagy: The change was made from RUF to R-3 in 1965 when the Zoning Ordinance
changed from No. 60 to No. 543 and the Comprehensive Zoning Map was
adopted.
Mrs. Jeanie Swanson, 18287 Whitby: Our back yards are just fine. We have 80' lots and
I cannot see for the type of home that we have, going to 75' lots. I
really and truly think we need that width.
Mr. Andrew: You would rather see 80' x 120' rather than 70' x 220'?
Mrs. Swanson: I certainly would. It doesn't involve me but I .like to help my neigh-
bors and we want the very best possible type of home we can get.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Andrew,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 75-12-1-32 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Hand and seconded by Mrs. Scurto, it was
#1-3-76 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held on January 6, 1976
on Petition 75-12-1-32 as submitted by Morris .and Barbara Ruler
requesting to rezone property located on the west side of Stamford
between Clarita and Curtis in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 9, from
f R-3 to R-2, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to
the City Council that Petition 75-12-1-32 be approved for the follow-
1: .
ing reasons:
5978
(1) The proposed change of zoning will provide for a density of
• land use consistent with the established residential development
of the surrounding area.
IL
(2) .The proposed change of zoning will provide for a residential
lot development pattern consistent with the residential lot
development pattern of the surrounding area.
(3) The proposed change of zoning will promote the orderly growth
and development of the area as it will facilitate the sub-
division of the lands and the public improvements associated
with a subdivision.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was published
in the official newspaper, the Observer/Eccentric, under date of Decem-
ber 18, 1975, 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.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Kluver, Scruggs, Scurto, Hand, Andrew
NAYS: Friedrichs
ABSTAIN: Wisler
ABSENT: Pinto, Falk
Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
4 Mrs. Wisler announced the next item on the agenda is Preliminary Plat approval
4 for Hillbrook Estates Subdivision proposed to be located
4 east of Merriman Road, south of Seven Mile Road, in.the
Northwest 1/4 of Section 11.
Mr. Nagy read the correspondence from the file; a letter dated December 30, 1975 from
the Engineering Division stating that the development of Lots 3 and 4
will be predicated on filling a portion of the designated flood plain
adjacent to the Tarabusi Drain and that Lot 2 may require some filling
of the flood plain to accommodate a house-building operation; a letter
dated January 2,- 1976 from the Chief Building Inspector stating that
the plat is being returned since it is being substantially revised but
noting that Lots 1 through 5 are in a flood plain and would require up
to 12' of fill; and a letter dated January 2, 1976 from Lt. Widmaier of
the Traffic Bureau stating the Bureau's opinion that street access to
the development being limited to one direction via Hillbrook Avenue from
the east as indicated in the site plan could present some disadvantage
by extending arrival time in the event that quick arrival into the area
should be required of an emergency vehicle for some reason.
Mr. Andrew: Does Lt. Widmaier offer any suggestion on how to get around that?
Mr. Nagy: Lt. Widmaier would like to have Hillbrook extended out to Merriman Road.
We also have a letter from the Department of Natural Resources based on
the original drawing .
r
5979
Mr. Andrew: Do you understand, Mrs. Veri, that the Department of Natural Resources
has rejected your plat?
' Mrs. Lidia Veri, developer: No. I was there only today.
1 Mr. Nagy: The letter was addressed to your Engineer.
Mr. Nagy read the letter for the record.
Mr. Nagy: Again, I should advise you that we reworked the plat and this is not
the plat they commented on. What you would have to do is to submit it
to the Department of Natural Resources again.
Mr. Andrew: We studied this last week and Mr. Nagy made some suggestions as to how
to overcome the problems. The plat before us tonight we cannot approve.
You should get back to your Engineer. I am sure he is aware of these
questions. This will have to have another public hearing also.
Mrs. Veri: I would like to know what they want me to do. I have already paid the
Engineer a large amount of money and don't wish to do it again.
Mr. Andrew: We will put a revised preliminary plat on a study meeting for next
Tuesday for some time after 9:30 p.m. Why don't you come down and we
will discuss it. This will not be acted on because the plat was denied
by the Department of Natural Resources.
Mr. Woodrow W. Bradd, 18500 Merriman: If this is submitted again, will we get another
letter to come down here again.
IL
Mr. Andrew: Yes. The next time the preliminary plat comes in for public hearing
you will be notified. If you would like to come down to discuss it at
the study meeting on Tuesday, please come after 9:30 p.m. because it
won't be discussed until then.
Mr. Andrew, Chairman, ruled that the public hearing on this item is closed.
