MINUTES OF THE 309th REGULAR MEETING
AND PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD BY THE CITY
PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
LIVONIA
I
On Tuesday, February 3, 1976, the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia,
held its 309th Regular Meeting and Public Hearings in 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 8:00 p.m. with approximately fifty interested persons in the audience.
Members Present: Suzanne Wisler Herman Kluver Francis Hand
Charles Pinto Joseph Falk Esther Friedrichs
Daniel R. Andrew William Scruggs Judith Scurto
Members Absent: None
Messrs. John J. Nagy, Planning Director; Ralph Bakewell, Planner IV; and Robert M.
Feinberg, Assistant City Attorney were also present.
Mr. Andrew informed the audience that if a petition on this evening's agenda
involves a question of rezoning or vacating, this Commission only makes recommendations
to the City Council and the City Council after holding a public hearing makes the
final determination as to whether a petition is approved or denied. If a petition
for a waiver of use request is denied, the petitioner has ten_days in which to
ILappeal the decision of the Commission to the City Council.
Mrs. Suzanne Wisler, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda, Petition
75-12-1-34 by Owen Lavelle to rezone property located on the south
side of Five Mile Road between Santa Anita and Cavell in the North-
east 1/4 of Section 24, from RUF to C-2.
The gavel was passed to the Vice-Chairman, William Scruggs at this time.
Mr. Scruggs: Any correspondence on this matter?
Mr. Nagy: The Engineering Department reports no engineering problems
connected with the site.
,
Consumer Power report no objection.
Anna Connelly: I am in favor of a shopping center but find that the traffic makes
27610 5 Mile it difficult for me to get out now. If a traffic light were
installed it would make it easier to get out.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter on file from the Fire Department.
Mr. Scruggs: What do you propose using this C-2 zoning for?
Mr. Turmela: Retail stores and a super market.

Mr. Scruggs: What kind of heat will you be using?
Mr. Turmela: At this point it will be electric.
• 5984
Mr. Kluver: Did you say super market?
Mr. Turmela: Yes.
Mr. Hand: We have done studies on this parcel in the past. It seems unusual
to me that now we are approached with a C-2 high-intensity commercial.
Do you know what the Master Land Use Plan calls for in this area?
Mr. Turmela: No.
Mr. Hand: Medium density residential is the acceptable development in this
area. If you go west from that parcel there is a considerable
amount of commercial in that area already. We have a lot of
commercial sites that are not developed. I will not approve this
petition.
Chester Bell: I am against the rezoning.
14974 Cavell
George Cu11Y: Will this center be a 24 hour type?
Lot BlAl
Mr. Turmela: We do not know yet.
Juanita Kierby: I object to the rezoning.
Lot 98 & 99
Weldon Clark: I represent the owner of the property. These people came to this
Realtor area 30 years ago. They bought two or more acres. The character
of the area has changed. I think better use of this property on
Five Mile Road can be made. It was thought that a multiple was
a better use than commercial. This is a practical and beneficial
use that is proposed. I do not see where you can say that Five
Mile cannot support any more commercial. The Kroger people will
put up a very nice store.
L. Wallace: I am against the rezoning.
15036 Cavell
W. Sobolske: I am against the rezoning.
14870 Cavell
Mr. Hand: We recognize the change that has taken place. We still feel that
medium density is compatible to that area. I would suggest that
we are not inflexible with the changes taking place on Five Mile
Road.
R. Dunn: In light of Mr. Hand's comments I would like to advise you that
Representing we have an investment in this community. This fits in with the
Kroger Co. nature of the way Five Mile is going. The reason for stores that
have closed is due to the fact that they had no room for expansion.
This will not be our problem. We have allowed for expansion.
There was no one else wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Scruggs, Acting
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 75-12-1-34 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Hand and seconded by Mrs. Wisler and adopted, it was
5985
ti
#2-8-76 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on February 3,
1976 on Petition 75-12-1-34 as submitted by Owen Lavelle to rezone property
located on the south side of Five Mile Road between Santa Anita and Cavell
in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 24, from RUF to C-2, the City Planning
Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 75-12-1-34
be denied for the following reasons:
(1) This change of zoning would not promote the orderly growth and
development of the surrounding area but would adversely affect the
neighboring residential area.
(2) The proposed change of zoning would not be in harmony with the
established neighboring development of the area as a major
commercial development is not consistent with either the residential
neighborhood or the abutting local commercial services.
(3) The proposed change of zoning would adversely affect the traffic
carrying capacity of the abutting local street as Santa Anita
is unimproved and incapable of handling the traffic that would
be generated by a shopping center of the size proposed.
(4) The proposed change of zoning is in conflict with the Future
Land Use Plan as adopted by the Planning Commission which proposes
a medium density residential development for this general area.
(5) The proposed change of zoning would adversely affect the stability
of the abutting residential neighborhood to the south for reasons
of the intrusion of commercial development which extends, by
comparison, at a depth vastly greater than the local service
district established to the west of this area.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was published
in the official newspaper, the Observer-Eccentric, under date of
January 15, 1976 and a notice of such hearing was sent to 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, Friedrichs, Scruggs, Pinto, Scurto, Wisler, Hand, Falk
NAYS: None
ABSTAIN: Andrew
Mr. Scruggs, Acting Chairman, declared the motion carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
The gavel was returned to Mr. Andrew, Chairman after the voting.
Mrs. Wisler, Secretary, announced the second item on the agenda, Petition 75-12-1-35 by
Irme and Renati Piko to rezone property located on the east side of Levan
Road, north of Five Mile Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 17, from
P.S. to R-6.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter on file from the Division of Engineering stating
they have no objections.
I
Consumers Power's letter is also on file stating they have no objections.
c_ 5986
Mrs. Piko: We feel it would provide a buffer for the residential on one
side and P.S. on the other.
3 Mr. Andrew: How long have you owned the property?
4
Mrs. Piko: Since December 1, 1975.
Mrs. Friedrichs: I am in favor of this rezoning.
Mr. Hand: Did you purchase this property from Mr. Bonadeo?
Mrs. Piko: Yes.
Mr. Hand: Did you know it was zoned P.S.?
Mrs. Piko: Yes.
Hal Wilkin: We have had conversations with Mr. Bonadeo in the past and he
Civic Assoc. knows our feelings are for P.S. zoning only.
President
J. Gallos: I am against the rezoning.
Lot #138
Wayne Hamilton: I am against the rezoning.
Lot #139
Mr. Andrew: You want R-6 zoning. What do you propose to build?
Mrs. Piko: We wanted to build a two family duplex.
Mr. Andrew: Have you considered a one family dwelling?
Mrs. Piko: No, we have not considered it. We will put off building on it.
There was no one else wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Andrew,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 75-12-1-35 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Kluver and seconded by Mr. Falk and adopted, it was
#2-9-76 RESOLVED THAT, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on February 3,
1976 on Petition 75-12-1-35 as submitted by Irme and Renati Piko requesting
to rezone property located on the east side of Levan Road, north of Five
Mile Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 17, from P.S. to R-6, the City
Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition
75-12-1-35 be denied for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zoning can be considered piece-meal or spot
zoning as there is no similar two-family use adjacent to the area
under petition.
(2) The proposed change of zoning is piece-meal for the reason that
rather than creating an R-6, two-family district, we are considering
a change of zoning for one lot only so as to allow the erection
/ of one two-family home whereas leaving the existing zoning in tact
is a part of a larger P.S. District already established within the
area.
5987
(3) The majority of the surrounding and established uses of the area,
principally the local shopping center with its off-street parking
lot immediately in front of the area under petition and the office
zone located to the south, are such that it diminishes the desirability
of the area under petition for good quality, stable residential use.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was published

January 15, 1976 and a notice of such hearing was sent to Michigan Bell

or else they would like an easement be retained for the
protection of,their equipment.
Michigan Bell states they have no objection providing they
are reimbursed for removing or relocating any existing
equipment.
. Art Antonelli: We want to improve this site.
Representing
Petitioner
Mr. Hand: I would be receptive to granting this petition. I think a positive
action from this commission would assist them in reaching a quicker
agreement with Edison.
Mr. Pinto: Do I understand that you are seeking a vacation without the retention
of an easement? You know these utilities will still fiave to be
on your property.
5989
Mr. Antonelli: The existing alley runs parallel to Seven Mile Road. The easement
must be moved from this area. We are looking for the successful
li vacating of this alley to allow for the the development of this
corner. Our feelings are pretty much in accord with whatever is
necessary to facilitate the construc 'gn of the building. We
think an easement should be provided /the Edison people at the
southerly edge of our property.

A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Kluver, Friedrichs, Scruggs, Pinto, Scurto, Wisler, Hand, Andrew
NAYS: Falk
ABSENT: None
Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
Mrs. Wisler, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda, Petition 75-11-1-29
as amended, by Michigan Home for the Armenian Aged, Inc. , to rezone property
located on the west side of Middlebelt Road, south of Wentworth in the
Southeast 1/4 of Section 14, from RUF and P.S. to R-9-I.
Mr. Andrew: Because there appears to be a great deal of land available in front
of the home why couldn't this building be erected within the front
yard?
5991
Mr. Nagy: We have looked into this matter and theoretically there would
be enough room to build a residential structure. You would
destroy all the aesthetics that are in the front of the home
and of course, the density would have to be reduced to no more
than 47 units for an R-9-II classification and 36 units for an
R-9-I category. Further, we have a letter from Roger Garner,
Attorney for the home along with a certificate of resolution
authorizing Simone Corp. to seek the appropriate rezoning to
provide for the senior citizen housing facility.
Mr. Scruggs: It seems that most people recognize the need for senior citizen
housing on the national and local community level. It is not too
often that the opportunity to review senior citizen's housing
zoning presents itself to this Planning Qommission.
Perhaps the biggest objection to senior citizen's housing is the
height of the building or the number of stories needed - generally 5
and up, to make the project economically feasible. Senior citizen's,
themselves make ideal neighbors. They are quiet, respectful of
other people's property, and are thankful to have a place to call
their own, to take care of and for themselves.
This particular petition has many favorable features -
1- It has been proposed by a petitioner who has a proven track
record on maintaining and developing the beautiful existing
Armenian Home for the Aged.
2- The proposed site is bounded by the Armenian Home on the East,
City owned proposed park land on the west, church owned vacant
property to the North whibh is approximately 300 ft. wide.
3- The maximum height of this revised petition permits a building
not to exceed 4 stories, or approximately 40 to 45 ft. maximum.
4- The petitioner has indicated a genuine willingness to plan and
develop the architectural qualities of this building and site
work, utilizing as much as possible, reasonable suggestions made by
representatives of the neighborhood and the staff of the
Planning Department.
Personally, I would suggest to the petitioner that the following
criteria be seriously considered in the design of this structure
should zoning be approve:
A. The 1st floor of the structure be depressed in the groun from 1/2
to 1 story.
B. That an earth berm be built on the south side of the site, properly
landscaped that when viewed from homes of the neighborhood to
the south, or those on Hidden Lane Avenue, only 2 stories or less
of the structure would be seen.
C. Mechanical equipment, penthouse, etc. , generally built on many
roof structures should be provided elsewhere when possible.
•
5992
D. Egress and ingress would always be from Middlebelt Road, and
E.
i
that extension of Hidden Lane Avenue would not be requested or
ever used to or from the structure.
It is my opinion that this development if and when completed, including
landscaping and site development, as just suggested, will truly
enhance and maintain the beauty, serenity, and property values along
Hidden Lane and Wentworth Avenue.
Mrs. Scurto: I could support this petition in view of Mr. Scruggs comments. I think
this is a very viable compromise.
Mr. Andrew declared the Public Hearing on Petition 75-11-1-29 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Hand, seconded by Mrs. Friedrichs and unanimously adopted,
it was
#2-14-76 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on December 16,
1975 on Petition 75-11-1-29 as amended, by Michigan Home for the Armenian
Aged, Inc., to rezone property located on the west side of Middlebelt Road,
south of Wentworth in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 14, from RUF and PS
to R-9-I, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City
Council that Petition 75-11-1-29 be approved for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zoning will provide for uses that will be
compatible to the surrounding established uses of the area.
(2) The proposed change of zoning so as to allow an increase in density
for housing for the elderly is complemented by the openness of the
140 public park lands located to the west and northwest of the area
o
under petition.
(3) The proposed change of zoning will not adversely affect the area
from a traffic standpoint for reasons that ingress and egress is to
be taken from the existing site of the Home for the Armenian Aged
and will rely on the circulation system established in connection with
that use which system directly relates to Middlebelt Road, a mile
thoroughfare.
(4) The proposed change of zoning so as to allow housing for the elderly
is consistent with the land use policies as adopted by the Planning
Commission with respect to medium density housing.
(5) The R-9 Zoning District regulations which contain the provision of
site plan approval are designed to specifically ensure that the
physical development of the property will be regulated so as to
ensure compatibility between the new development and that of the
established development occurring within the neighboring area.
(6) The site area under petition with its established character and tree
cover and its relationship to other institutional uses such as
church owned lands to the north, convalescent homes to the east and
southeast, and the City owned park lands to the west, has all the
qualities to ideally lend it self to good quality senior citizen
housing.
