MINUTES OF THE 379th REGULAR MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD BY THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF i LIVONIA • On Tuesday, September 1,i , 1979 the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia held its 379th Regular Meeting and Public Hearings in the Livonia City Hall , 33000 Civic Center Drive, Livonia, Michigan. Mr. Daniel R. Andrew, Chairman, called the Public Hearings and Regular Meeting to order at 8:05 p.m. with approximately sixty persons in the audience.- Members present: Daniel R. Andrew Joseph J. Falk Esther Friedrichs Judith Scurto Suzanne Wisler C. Russell Smith Robert Morrow Jerome Zimmer Members absent: Herman Kluver* Messrs. John J. Nagy, Planning Director; H. G. Shane, Assistant Planning Director; Ralph H. Bakewell , 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, 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, and if a petition for a waiver of use is denied, the petitioner has ten days in which to appeal the decision. We will also introduce some plat approvals and this is the only public hearing on the i''' preliminary plats which pertains to the' subdividing of land. The Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council on preliminary plats in that the members approve or reject the plat. Mr. Joseph J. Falk, Secretary, announcedthe first item on the agenda is Petition 79-7-1-21 by the City Planning Commission on its own motion to rezone property located on the north side of Ann Arbor Road between Newburgh Road and Ann Arbor Trail in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 31 , from R-1 to P. Mr. Andrew: Mr. Nagy, is there any correspondence in the file regarding this petition? Mr. Nagy: There is'a letter dated July 6, 1979 from the Wayne County Road Commission stating that they have no objection to the proposed rezoning, and a letter from the City of Livonia Engineering Divi- sion indicating they have no objections to this proposal . Mr. Andrew: This is a petition by the Planning Commission on its own motion. The intent and purpose of the petition is to place in the proper zoning classification property presently used for parking by Parkside Bar. To correct the Zoning Map would be a good statement of fact. Is there , anyone in the audience who wishes to comment on this rezoning petition? There was no one present in the audience wishing to be heard regarding this petition li: and Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 79-7-1-21 closed. 7090 On a motion duly made by Mr. Morrow, seconded by Mr. Smith and unanimously adopted, it it was #9-161-79 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on September 11 , 1979 on Petition 79-7-1-21 as submitted by the City Planning Commission on its own motion to rezone property located on the north side of Ann Arbor Road between Newburgh Road and Ann Arbor Trail in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 31 , from R-1 to P, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 79-7-1-21 be approved for the following reasons: (1 ) The subject property is no longer desirable for single-family residential purposes. • (2) The property is currently used for offstreet parking, the use proposed by this rezoning petition. (3) The proposed rezoning to the parking classification will provide for a use that is compatible to adjoining uses of the area as no immediately surrounding use is of a residential nature. FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was published in the official newspaper, the Livonia Observer, under date of August 23, 1979 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. Herman Kluver entered the meeting at 8:10 p.m. Mr. Falk, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 79-7-1-22 by Dr. James J. Wilke to rezone property located on the southwest corner of Six Mile and Merriman Roads in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 15, from RUFC to P.S. Mr. Nagy read for the record a letter dated August 3, 1979 from the Livonia Engineering Division stating there appears to be no engineering problems connected with the proposal and a letter from the Merriman-Six Civic Association stating that the Association is opposed to the establishment of a P.S. zone at this corner. Dr. James J. Wilke, 13992 Merriman Road: I have been a doctor in Livonia for seven years. My office is presently located at Merriman and Schoolcraft Roads. My intention here is to rezone this property for myself for a 1500 square foot, one story building. I have no intention of renting any of the space. I would just like to move down the street and have my own piece of property. Mr. Andrew: Do you own the property or do you have an agreement to purchase? Dr. Wilke: I own the property. t4Mr. Falk: When' did you buy the land? Dr. Wilke: Approximately three months ago. 7091 • Mr. Falk: You know the history of the property -- people have tried to rezone it before when it is residential to the corner and you still bought the IL land hoping to get it rezoned. Dr. Wilke: I felt it was an investment and I plan on leaving the trees and setting back offbthe street. Mr. Falk: You know that we have planned to stop the zoning of professional going west on Six Mile at Vargo's. I wish you hadn't bought the property. You knew what the history of the property is and that we want to keep it residential . Also, the Civic Association along with the Commission'wants to retain the residential zone. Therefore, I must support the residents of the area as I , too, feel this is an intrusion. Alexander Fulton, 16950 Merriman : This is the third time I have been over here on this particular piece of property and I don' t see why every few years have to do this. If he goes in there, someone else will demand that he gets in there. Why do we have to have every intersection turned into business. I could come in then and get my property rezoned for a little factory. I see no reason why we have to come back here on this piece of . property so often. Mr. Andrew: Under the democratic process, the property owner has a right to petition for the rezoning of his property every time he desires. Mr. Fulton: It doesn' t make any sense -- they could wear us out in time. to Mr. Andrew: That is why you have to attend these meetings. Bernard D. Kudla, 31501 Six Mile Road: I welcome Dr. Wilke as a resident but I want to go on record as being opposed to commercial , industrial or a medical center on this property, or any other rezoning of that area. Marcelle Matthews, 23917 Talbot, St. Clair Shores: We just purchased our lot and are opposed to this rezoning. We want to build a house. If any business goes in there, we won't move here. Harold J. Howes, 17001 Merriman: I am against this rezoning. Mrs. Joseph Martin, 31526 Six Mile Road: I am opposed. I feel we have enough medical buildings in our vicinity and we don't have to turn this parcel of land into a medicAl area. Traffic is tremendous and I would like the land to stay as is. Anne L. Sheppard, 16970 Merriman: I am opposed to the petition. This is a semi rural setting and the nature is very good. I would like to have the doctor as a neighbor but I am opposed to the rezoning of this area. There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition and Mr. Andrew Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 79-7-1-22 closed. On a motion duly made by Mrs. Scurto, seconded by Mr. Zimmer and unanimously adopted, it was 7092 #9-162-79 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on IL September 11 , 1979 on Petition 79-7-1-22 as submitted by Dr. James J. Wilke to rezone property located on the southwest corner of Six Mile and Merriman Roads in the .Northeast 1/4 of Section 15, from RUFC to P.S. , the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 79-7-1-22 be denied for the following reasons: (1 ) The proposed rezoning to the professional service classification is in conflict with the adopted Future Land Use Plan of the City of Livonia. v(2) The proposed rezoning will provide for uses that are inconsistent with the neighboring uses of the area, which neighboring area is generally of a residential character. (3) The proposed rezoning will provide for the first intrusion of a nonresidential use within the intersection area of Six Mile and Merriman Roads and will set an undesirable precedent for the area and tend to encourage further proposals for the conversion of other lands within the immediate area. (4) The proposed rezoning is in conflict with the goals and policies of the City Planning Commission as the Commission has long held a goal to preserve the residential character and quality of this area. FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was published in the official newspaper, the Livonia Observer, under date of August 23, 1[0 1979 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 ih the Proof of Service. Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted. Mr. Falk, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 79-8-1-23 by Keith E. Mino to rezone property located on the south side of Pickford between Farmington Road and Filmore in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 9, from R-3 to P.S. Mr. Nagy: We have a letter in the file dated August 17, 1979 from the Livonia Engineering bivision indicating there are no engineering problems con- nected with this petition. Keith E. Mino, 18493 Farmington Road: This property is located on Farmington Road, a five-lane, paved road of residential , business and churches. The black line on the map separating the R-7 and my property is a drainage ditch covered by the Department of Natural Resources and nothing can be built on either side for 30 feet. This property can be approached from three streets. The neighbor immediately to the south, before I cam here, voiced • no objection to the rezoning of this property. Her house is on Filmore. Mr. Andrew:Mr. Mino: Does the map correctly indicate the extent of your ownership in this area? Yes it does. The alley was eliminated four years ago by the City Council . Mr. Andrew: How long have you owned the property? 7093 Mr. Mino: Seven or eight years. t} Mr. Andrew: You presently live on it? Mr. Mino: Yes, I do. Mr. Andrew: Do you intend to build on this property? Mr. Mino: I have doctors who are interested in building. Mr. Andrew: I would like to get this clear -- are you or the doctors building the building? Mr. Mino: The doctors. Mr. Andrew: You are simply selling the property after it is rezoned, Mr. Mino: Yes. Mrs. Scurto: I would like to ask through the Chair how deep the property is that is County owned from this P.S. ? Mr. Nagy: 110' of usable depth on the northeast corner of Pickford and Farmington. Mrs. Scurto: This property is how deep? Mr. Nagy: 240' . The dimension on Farmington Road is 140' and on Filmore 150' . The three lots are each 50' in width. On Farmington Road these are 20' wide. Y , Mr. Zimmer: There is only one house on the property? Mr. Mino: Yes. It covers the fourth and fifth lot off the corner. On Filmore, I have one other small house. Mr. Zimmer: Do you own any other property in this area? Mr. Mino: No. Mrs. Wisler: Are the three lots facing Filmore properly zoned and buildable for resi- dential? esidential? Mr. Nagy: As individual lots, no, and if assembled they would be 5' short of the minimum requirement. Mrs. Wisler: Can you give me an estimate of the depth from Farmington Road to the westerly side of the vacated alley? Mr. Nagy: 120' . Mr. Zimmer: Have you explored or tried to look at this as a residential possibility. Is this a second resort? Mr. Mino: It wouldn' t pay to put in any decent residential because the adjacent houses are older type homes. 0 Mr. Morrow: Does the flood plain intersect your property? t 7094 Mr. Mino: The Department of Natural Resources has jurisdiction over the flood plain and there is a drainage ditch which cannot be built upon. There was no one present in the audience wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 79-8-1-23 closed. Mrs. Wisler: I would like to explore with the petitioner the possibility of retaining the rear portion of those lots for residential purposes and the front for professional service. I am concerned about the depth of the intrusion of professional into a residential area. On a motion duly made by Mrs. Wisler and seconded by Mrs. Scurto, it was #9-163-79 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on September 11 , 1979 on Petition 79-8-1-23 as submitted by Keith E. Mino to rezone property located on the south side of Pickford between Farmington Road and Filmore in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 9, from R-3 to P.S. , the City Planning Commission does hereby determine to table Petition 79-8-1-23 until the Planning Commission Study Meeting to be held on September 25, 1979. A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following: AYES: Kiuver, Friedrichs, Smith, Scurto, Falk, Morrow, Wisler, Andrew NAYS: Zimmer ABSENT: None Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted. IL Mr. Falk, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 79-8-1-24 by Michael Schwartz to rezone property located on the west side of Middle- belt, north of Six Mile Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 11 , from R-lA to R-7. Mr. Nagy read for the record letter dated June 22, 1979 from the Archdiocese of Detroit stating that the petitioner has the permission of the owner to pursue the rezoning of this property; letter dated August 20, 1979 from the Engineering Division indicating that the final location of the flood plain limits across the site may affect both the number and location of the buildings proposed and that consideration will be given to the improvement of Louise Avenue, adjacent to the site; letter dated August 30, 1979 from Dr. & Mrs. Robert 0. Unsworth voicing their disapproval of this petition; and a letter dated September 9, 179 from Peter Boroday objecting to the petition. Michael Schwartz, 24801 Five Mile Road, Detroit 48239: We propose to build some nice looking apartments for which there is a demand in the City. It will be beautifully landscaped. I think the area lends itself to multiple housing because of the back-up to the drains. They will be two-story buildings assuming we build them. Mr. Andrew: I presume you have initiated a rezoning petition for the entire piece of land even though you only intend to use a portion of the land. Mr. Schwartz: That is true. We have no plans for the land fronting on Middlebelt. ' Mr. Andrew: Should the petition be approved, would there be any difficulty eliminating the property on Middlebelt. 7095 Mr. Schwartz: No problem. (4 Mr. Zimmer: Does your company own this land? 10; Mr. Schwartz: We are presently buying it. Mr. Zimmer: Subject to this rezoning? Mr. Schwartz: That is corrent. Mr. Zimmer: Your intention is clearly to build apartments as opposed to residences? Mr. Schwartz: It doesn' t lend itselfto single family residential . You could get so few dwellings in there it wouldn't make sense. Mr. Zimmer: Do you have any problem with the prospect of using Louise for a multi- ple development as the only source of ingress and egress? Mr. Schwartz: I think Louise would have to be paved. That would pose a problem. I was hoping the adjoining property owners would join in and pave it. . Mrs. Wisler: Have you given any thought to any kind of alternative single-family housing, like a cluster development. Mr. Schwartz: That would fall under this rezoning, wouldn't it? Mrs. Wisler: No. • Mr. Schwartz: No, I haven 't. I thought it would fall under this rezoning. Mrs. Wisler: With the R-1 zoning, cluster concept, you would be required to obtain a waiver of use approval to put your housing in a manner so as to take advantage of the flood plain and other considerations set out for this purpose. Mr. Nagy: Under the conventional plan with 60' lots, the best he could build here would be 16 single family lots. With the cluster option available through the PUD within the R-1 District, he would take the same density as if the entire parcel was usable. Mr. Nagy explained to the audience the meaning of "cluster housing" and planned unit development as outlined in the City of Livonia Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Morrow: With your proposed apartment complex, how many units do you have? Mr. Schwartz: I believe 64. Mrs. Scurto: Could you cite for the residents here an example they could see that would be along the lines of the development we are talking about? Mr.. Nagy: On Middlebelt Road at Long Lake adjacent to Wabeek. That would be the closest in terms of sizes. Mrs. Scurto: I urge our citizens to take a look at various types of housing develop- ments because as we fill our last remaining lands , it will behoove us to take advantage of the opportunity to introduce into this community some other housing arrangements. 7096 • Mr. Smith: Do you have any plans for the property east of the Tarabusi or along li4 Middlebelt Road? oi Mr. Schwartz: tIo, only southwest of the drain. Mr. Smith: How about behind the single family housing? Mr. Schwartz: 1 don't think it can be utilized. Mr. Andrew: If you receive favorable action on this petition or a PUD petition, are you prepared to pay for the improvement of Louise from Six Mile Road to Middlebelt and your development? Mr. Schwartz: No. George Massab, 29711 Mark Lane: I have lived in my house for twenty years. If you permit these multiple dwellings, we might as well be living at Ten Mile and Southfield. It is almost impossible to get out onto Middle- belt Road. The traffic is really bad in that area. We do not need more multiple dwellings in the area. Why is this such a popular area? , Mr. Andrew: I wish I could answer your question. Any Commissioner who would like to try -- do so. Mrs. Scurto: Whoever owns the land is coming before us and we are only answering that petition. Roy Hebert, 29637 Ravine Drive: I have lived here about five years. I attended a City Council meeting lastryear on the designation of Sunset Park as public land. We were all in favor of that and we thought it went farther south. We wish it did. Louise is a pleasant, bucolic area in Livonia. I live on Lot 41 and purchased 42 and 43 hoping that would stop any access on this road. With the draina§e I thought they would never get into that property. The Archdiocese bought the property perhaps in 1958 probably for a parish, parochial school or monastery. Even now they are not a very pleasant neighbor to have because they do not take care of the property next to our homes. We have to constantly call the City to get the weeds cut down. We have long believed there would never be access granted to the Archdiocese or a private speculator for access on Louise. If you thought Dr. Wilke's use of the corner on Six Mile and Middlebelt was not good, this is disastrous. I present to the Commission a petition of signatures of residents objecting to this petition. We were not notified at the time the Commission gave consideration to the Morristowne Apartments and even though we do not live within 500' of the property, we believe this will have an adverse affect on the neighborhood. Mr. Andrew: The •Morristowne Apartments did come before this Commission and City Council at which time all the legalities and obligations concerning notices to property owners and newspaper were fulfilled in accord with State statutes and City Ordinances. 1[00 Mr. Heber: I was merely suggesting that you might want to expand the possibilities of notification of owners other than those required by law to include home owners in the neighborhood which perhaps are affected by a partic- ular development. Mr. Lewis Giffin, 29520 Ravine Drive: The drawing on the board is not accurate. It ' 7097 • indicates possible building sites in the area north of the flood plain which is designated las flood plain limits by the Planning Commission. Also, the part of the corner extending to Middlebelt Road. And the City says the allowable density is 101 single bed- room units. I believe thepetitioneris proposing 64. The letter obta'ined from the Engineering Division says the flood plain limits have not been established. If the builder obtains this property, is it possible for homes to cover the drain? Mr. Andrew: If the petitioner is successful before this Commission and the Council , he then has to come back for site plan approval at which time we will get into the definitive portion of the program -- egress, ingress, lot coverage, etc. He will also have to submit engineering plans to the Engineering Division which will have to define the extent of the flood plain so that the Engineering Division knows exactly where he can build a house. Mr. Giffin: We have had a lot of problems with flooding in the area.. Mr. Nagy: I realize what the Engineering Division said about the flood plain limits but the City of Livonia does have a, flood plain map which designates this area as a permanent open drain water course. Any alteration, filling, reshaping or regrading is completely under the control of the Department of Natural Resources. Based upon topo- graphic maps, the Army Corps of Engineers has established this open water course. This information is taken from those maps and I am sure it will not vary much. ILWm. Rooker, 17391 Louise: I strongly Irotest this property being rezoned to R-7. Louise is a dead-end street. If he puts 64 apartments there, there will be approximately 140 cars up and down the street every day to Six Mile. I am opposed to that. Also, the homeowners on Louise Avenue are retired people and have lived there for 25 to 30 years. Most homes have large frontage and any cost of paving that road could wipe out their entire savings. Mark Russell , 17232 Louise: One of the reasons I bought this house is because it is probably one of the few places that is like up north in the winter and fall . It is very beautiful . I back up to apartments now and I am opposed thoroughly to more apartments going in. The traffic on Louise would be terrible. We might need apartments in the City but I can't see taking acres of country for them. Mary Minch, 17442 Louise: His driveway is right across from mine and I would object to all those cars turning there. Ms. Nelli Rice, 17555 Middlebelt: I am a little suspicious but I sold this property and the Archdiocese was supposed to take care of the property and I think everyone will agree that they haven' t done that. Itdoesn't seem plausible to me that they are only going to develop one area on a residential street when they have access and egress to Middlebelt, a five-lane highway. 1 L Mr,. Schwartz: I would like to say something in defense of the Archdiocese. For one thing, they are not asking to rezone this property, I am. They have no intention of doing anything with the property on Middlebelt. . The I4construction of a bridge across the Tarabusi would be prohibitive because of costs. I agree that I will eliminate from the rezoning petition the area east of the Tarabusi flood plain. eannett Wroblewski , 29931 Bobrich; Pat Baumgarten, 29447 Ravine Drive; Mr. & Mrs. Unsworth, 29435 Ravine Drive; Mrs. yO'Neil , 29446 Ravine Drive; Mrs. Florence Hebert, 29637 Ravine Drive; and Mrs. Collins, 19515 Ravine Drive, were present and objected to the petition. Mrs. Griffin, 29520 Ravine Drive, and Mrs. Peggy Morgan, 17557 Ravine Drive, were present and objected to the petition. There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 79-8-1-24 closed. On a motion duly made by Mrs. Friedrichs and seconded by Mr. Zimmer, it was #9-164-79 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on September 11 , 1979 on Petition 79-8-1-24 as submitted by Michael Schwartz to rezone property located on the west side of Middlebelt Road, north of Six Mile Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 11 , . from R-1A to R-7, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 79-8-1-24 be denied for the follow- ing reasons: (1) The proposed zoning is in conflict with the Future Land Use Plan adopted by the City Planning Commission which designates the IL subject area for low density residential zoning. (2) The proposed zoning would provide for uses which would grossly overburden an existing, unimproved residential street with additional traffic. (3) The proposed zoning would allow uses which are not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. (4) The proposed zoning would allow a population density to be placed on the property which would be much greater than that existing generally in the surrounding area. FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was published in the official newspaper, the Livonia Observer, under date of August 23, 1979 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, Friedrichs, Smith, Zimmer, Falk, Morrow, Wisler, Andrew NAYS: Scurto ABSENT: None .1r. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted. • 7099 Mr. Falk, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 79-8-1-25 by 110 Keywell & Herbach to rezone property located on the southeast corner of Seven Mile Road and Melvin Avenue in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 11 , from 'R-1A and R-5 to C-1 . Mr. Nagy read for the record a letter dated August 14, 1979 from the Engineering Divi- sion commenting on driveway approaches and a letter from Lola L. O'Connor, 30145 Seven Mile Road stating that she has no objection to this rezoning petition. Mr. Keywell of Keywell & Herbach, 3221 W. Big Beaver Road, Troy: The use proposed for this property would be the construction of an Art' Van Furniture Store. I have pictures of a similar store recently constructed in Flint, Michigan. A comparable store is constructed and operated in Taylor and another in Novi across from a regional shopping center. It is a very beautiful store of 65,000 square feet. The use I am suggesting is consistent with your master plan in that it is a transition use. We have made traffic studies in connection with other petitions and in an average day there are between six and seven customer cars per hour that go into an Art Van Furniture Store. The biggest day is Saturday and our counts show between 15 and 16 cars per hour. I submit that that usage Is considerably less than an office building. This design has been very well received in every community we have sought to constructsuch a building and I submit to you that it is consistent with the purpose of the master plan although I concede it is not precisely an office zone as the master plan suggests. ILMr. Andrew: The traffic study figures -- are those based on averages that you have taken on other 'stores? Mr. Keywell : They are similar for that design store. Each site is different , however, the Taylor store is across from a regional shopping center and the Flint store is across from the Genesee Valley Mall . Mr. Smith: Are you aware that there is a vacant 20,000 square foot building on the property down on Middlebelt at Seven Mile Road in an existing shopping center which is available? That corner needs an uplift. I would be in favor of an Art Van Furniture Store, however, I would like to see it not here but around the corner in the existing shopping center. Mr. Keywell : We attempted to purchase a site immediately south of that. Our store on Plymouth is a converted supermarket and it is a disaster. The new approach of Art Van development over a period of three years just doesn' t lend itself to converting from a supermarket. There are problems getting trucks in and out. We have worked with traffic people to come up with a concept to keep trucks out of the way. Our Flint and Taylor stores work better. Mr. Smith: I would be opposed to rezoning more property in an area where we have vacant commercial property. Mr. Keywell : We attempted to buy that property but were told it was not available. We obtained the services of the Hartman Group to make a site survey and come up with available sites. The site here was the only one available that we could afford. 7100 . Mr. Falk: That means the property on Plymouth Road would go down the drain. IleWhen a tenant takes off, I am concerned about what will go in there. When does your lease expire: Y Mr. Keywell : 9-1/2 years from now. Art Van is a very responsible company. They wills not abandon the store because they have to pay the rent. It would be subleased to another furniture store, the same as we did on Eureka Road. Mr. Morrow: I cannot equate a 50,000 foot building in that location with pro- fessional service. Mr. Keywell : What I am saying in the sense of transitional type uses is that this would be a transitional type of use. Mr. Zimmer: Your development will treat Melvin with a great deal of respect in- asmuch as it is a residential street? Mr. Keywell : We will berm it and landscape it. , Nancy King, 18947 Melvin: I would really not like to have anything there because it' s all country. The traffic is bad and whatever goes in there will make it twice as bad. Resident, 18650 Melvin: I question the need for another big furniture store in view of Wickes being there. The traffic backs up all the way to Merriman especially during the holiday season. Do the citizens on Melvin have to pay to improve Melvin so the furniture store can have an improved road? Mrs. West, 18988 Doris, was present and objected to this rezoning petition. Mr. Keywell : In the furniture business, the slowest time of the year is from November 15th to the end of the year. The holiday season is very slow. In terms of traffic, this store would not add very much. There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition -79-8-I-25 closed. On a motion duly made by Mr. Zimmer, seconded by Mr. Morrow and unanimously adopted, it was #9-165-79 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on September 11 , 1979 on Petition 79-8-1-25 as submitted by Keywell & Herbach to rezone property located on the southeast corner of Seven Mile Road and Melvin Avenue in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 11 , from R-1A and R-5 to C-1 , the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 79-8-1-25 be denied for the following reasons: (1) The proposed rezoning is in conflict with the adopted Future Land Use Plan of the City of Livonia, which Plan calls for transitional uses of an office nature for the property. 7101 IL (2) The proposed rezoning to the commercial classification would provide for commercial uses immediately adjacent to established residential uses which would detract from the continued use and enjoyment of the established resi- dential uses of the area. 1 (3) The proposed rezoning to the commercial classification adjoining the unimproved street of Melvin Avenue would adversely affect Melvin Avenue from a traffic standpoint as it is not capable of handling commercial traffic that would be generated by this proposed use. (4) The proposed rezoning is in conflict with the adopted goals and policies for land use in this area as it is the goal of the Future Land Use Plan to terminate commercial development in this area so as to discourage its further expansion in a strip, linear manner along the Seven Mile Road thoroughfare. The Future Land Use Plan proposes to maintain and protect the established residential character of the Road from Melvin Avenue west by proposing transitional and buffer uses on the • east side of Melvin Avenue rather than commercial development.

We had an Engineer out and the heating and air conditioning unit now is 4' high and is located 35' in from the east which is the end of the building and it is 46' in from the south of the building, so there is no view. You cannot see it. Those are the present units. The units we will put up will be 20' in from the east and 45' in from the back of the building and 54" high with a 3' parapet wall . If it becomes obtrusive we will fence it. There is a commercial compactor inside the building and the wet garbage will be taken care of. From the compactor, it will be put into a dumpster and we are trying to get a daily pickup. We do 7102 • have a porch area 10' x 6 ' . We will build a complete housing to house If' the dumpster if the Building Department will let us put up a building on that cement porch. We have plenty of room there. to Mrs. Wisler: I object to the dumpster. They are objectionable and obnoxious things in the City and I do not encourage people in this City to store trash outside.
