approval of all plans required by Section 18.47 in connection with
a proposal to construct a party store and retail rental space on the
south side of Seven Mile Road between Farmington Road and Filmore
in Section 9, be denied for the following reasons:
(1 ) The proposed site plan consisting of two buildings with a pro-
- jected total building area of 7,920 square feet is too intensive
a use for this site and exceeds the capacity of the site to support
the proposed development.
(2) The proposed site development would be detrimental to the neighbor-
ing area, particularly from a traffic standpoint. It will cause
an excessive amount of commercial traffic to use an alley and/or,
a local residential street to gain access to and from the site.
(3) The proposed site development plan relies almost exclusively upon
an unimproved alley to serve the site and any blockage to the alley,
either by way of delivery trucks, service vehicles or parked cars,
will cause a traffic hazard and disrupt the normal traffic flow on
the adjoining alley.
