On a motion duly made by Mrs. Scurto, seconded by Mr. Scruggs and unanimously adopted,
it was
#6-106-76 RESOLVED that, pursuant to Section 18.58 of Ordinance #543, the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Livonia, as amended by Ordinance #988, the
City Planning Commission does hereby deny Petition 76-6-8-12P as sub-
mitted by Showerman's Party Stores, Inc. , requesting approval of all
plans required by Section 18.58 in connection with a proposal to con-
struct an addition to an existing commercial building located on the
north side of Five Mile Road between Merriman and Arden in Section 15,
for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed site plan does not comply with Zoning Ordinance #543,
as amended, specifically Section 2.09(2) in that the parking space
size for those parking spaces in front of the building with the
exception of the handicapped, do not comply with the area require-
ment of 220 square feetor Section 18.37(m) in that the parking in
front of the building with the narrow access driveway of 18 feet
will cause autos to back or cross over the public sidewalk in
violation of the Zoning Ordinance.
(2) The Site Plan #760520, dated 5/24/76, prepared by Basic George
Heath, Architect, fails to provide for the safe circulation and
parking of vehicles around the southwest corner of the proposed
addition and the westerly point of ingress and egress to the site
from Five Mile Road. The proposed front yard parking in that area
overlaps the driveway which would cause parked cars to back directly
into the main approach driveway thereby creating a hazardous traffic
condition.
(3) The Plan also fails to provide any landscaping amenities to properly
enhance the new addition. Moreover, the petitioner has stated that
the four-foot greenbelt as shown on Site Plan #760520, dated 5/24/76,
iiU2SL
would not be constructed as shown.
(4) The Site Plan previously approved by the Planning Commission
in connection with Site Plan Petition 75-7-8-15P for a previous
addition was never completely complied with.
(5) The proposed site plan does not show or make provision for the
location of a second trash receptacle the petitioner states is
needed to accommodate the food wastes that will be emanating
from the new specialty meat store.
Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Scruggs, seconded by Mrs. Scurto and unanimously adopted,
it was
#6-107-76 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a request dated June 19, 1976 from Arthur H.
Kickland requesting a six-month extension concerning conditions set
forth by the Planning Commission in connection with approval of Petition
75-5-2-12 as submitted by Arthur Kickland requesting waiver use approval
to operate an auto repair business within an existing building located
on the south side of Eight Mile Road between Merriman Road and Milburn
in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 2, the City Planning Commission does
hereby determine to grant an extension for a four-month period only in
order to allow the petitioner to comply with the conditions as set forth
in Planning Commission Resolution ##10-237-75, adopted on October 14, 1975,
and as modified by letter dated November 26, 1975 from the Commission.
