On Tuesday, January 19, 1982, the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia,
: held its 425th Regular Meeting and Public Hearings in the Livonia City Hall, 33000
Civic Center Drive, Livonia, Michigan.
Mr. Jerome Zimmer, Vice-Chairman called the Regular Meeting and Public Hearings to
order at 8:00 p.m. with approximately 40 interested people in the audience.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Judith Scurto Joseph Falk Jerome Zimmer
Sue Sobolewski Donna Naidow Donald Vyhnalek
Herman Kluver R. Lee Morrow
MEMBERS ABSENT: Daniel R. Andrew
Messrs. John J. Nagy, City Planning Director; H G Shane, Assistant Planning Director;
and Ralph H. Bakewell, Planner IV, were also present.
Mr. Zimmer, Vice-Chairman, then informed the audience that if a petition on tonight's
agenda involves a rezoning request, this Commission only makes a recommendation to the
City Council, who in turn will then hold their own Public Hearing and decide the
question. If a petition involves a waiver use request, and the petition is denied
by the Planning Commission, the petitioner then has ten days in which to appeal for
relief. Otherwise the petition is terminated at the Planning Commission level.
IL Mr. Falk, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 81-12-2-27
by Peter A. Basile requesting waiver use approval to expand an existing
cement contractor business located on the east side of Merriman Road
between Plymouth Road and the C & 0 Railway in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 26.
Mr. Nagy: We have correspondence from Engineering Dept. , Fire Dept.; Inspection
Dept.; Police Dept.; and Industrial Coordinator.
Thos.Cicotte: I am vice president of the company. Our intentions are to build
12152 Merriman an addition to the present location. Part of it will be Used for
Livonia speculative purposes, possibly 15,000 to 20,000 for a warehouse.
We are willing to upgrade the landscaping. There is no problem
with planting along the fences. The planting along parking 40 feet
west of the fence there is a problem. We have an agreement with
Dr. Kowal next door about the storm sewer. We would hate to landscape
and then have to tear up the landscaping to put in the sewer. We
are not sure what the property limits for the front piece, whether
it would be developed as a single piece or not. I will further discuss
the sewer problem with Mr. Basile and Dr. Kowal.
Mr. Zimmer: We can table this matter until you can get together with the
appropriate people.
Mrs. Scurto: If in fact you don't know the measurements of that front parcel, how
does that affect the parking?
Mr. Cicotte: We have existing parking in front which is adequate.
ti Mrs. Scurto: Parking onto other parcel is an "iffy situation"?
7616
Mr. Cicotte: Yes, at this time. •
Mr. Morrow: What was the comment regarding question of description of waiver
IL use in one of those correspondence?
Mr. Nagy: The legal description describes all the tax parcel you see as cross
hatched. It suggested that we be specific (for instance the east
140 feet or some such portion of the property) .
Mr. Morrow: What about paving of the gravel road?
Mr. Cicotte: The road coming into the north in between Dr. Kowal is paved. The
road to the existing building to the south is not paved. We hope to
pave it. It is not an inexpensive item. We cannot speak as to the
time of paving.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Do we have any landscape plans?
Mr. Nagy: It was asked that the landscaped area be expanded. The staff has
prepared a landscape plan for the petitioners examination illustating
an expanded landscape treatment.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.
Mr. Zimmer, Vice-Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 81-12-2-27 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Vyhnalek, seconded by Mr. Morrow, and unanimously
adopted, it was

1982 as submitted by Peter A. Basile requesting waiver use approval to
expand an existing cement contractor business located on the east side of
Merriman Road between Plymouth Road and the C & 0 Railway in the Southwest

table Petition 81-12-2-27 until February 9, 1982.
Mr. Zimmer, Vice-Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing reeolution
is adopted.
Mr. Falk announced the next item on the agenda is Harley Ellington-Pierce Yee
Associates for Glen Eden Lutheran Memorial Park requesting waiver use
approval to construct an addition to the existing mausoleum located on
the south side of Eight Mile Road, east of Newburgh Road in Section 5.
Mr. Nagy: We have a letter dated January 8, 1982 from Bureau of Inspection
by Mr. Kerby. We also have a letter dated January 7, 1982 from the
Fire Department by Ted Kovarik. We have a letter from Division of
Police, Traffic, dated January 6, 1982 by Lt. Widmaier.
Robert Tomkey: We are proposing an addition to the existing mausoleum to accommodate
a 317 crypt addition.
Mr. Vyhnalek: What is the material to be used on the outside?
Mr. Tomeky: About 2 inch granite veneer, polished. The building is now ashlere
granite. This will be an improvement. We will be using faceted glass
niches similar to stained glass. Also it is religious in character.
We will use some acrylic lexan panels of clear glass.
Mrs. Sobolewski: This is a two phase operation. What is the second phase?
•
7617
Mr. Tomkey: If and when that happens it will be a duplicate of this phase on the
left side instead of the right side. That is in the distant future.
IL There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.

Mr. Zimmer, Vice-Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution

Mr. Falk announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 81-12-2-29 by George Hajal
requesting waiver use approval for restaurant usage to be provided within
a portion of the existing building located on the north side of Plymouth
Road between Cavell and Arcola in Section 25.

from the Fire Department by Ted Kovarik.
• 7618
Janet Hajal: We are in a new building which was constructed last year.
27622 Plymouth Road We got a dairy license for the ice cream store. We also
sold hot dogs and hamburgers. We were not aware that you
needed to get a bonified restaurant license. Mr. McDonald
indicated to us last year we had to come here. We would like
to put two tables inside with a total of four chairs.
Mr.MZimmer: Do you plan to expand the food pending this appeal?
Ms. Hajal: No. We only want a few tables and chairs in front.
Mr. Zimmer: Two tables and four chairs are allowed.
Mrs. Scurto: What about the remarks about the landscaping in front?
Ms. Hajal: We did everything we were told. The landscaping is brand new.
The wood has moved a little.
Mrs. Scurto: What is between the sidewalk and curb?
Ms. Hajal: Tie border and gravel as requested.
Mrs. Sobolewski: Are you open just in the summer?
Ms. Hajal: We are seasonal at the moment.
Mrs. Sobolewski: Who runs the store?
Ms. Hajal: My brother.
Mrs. Sobolewski: How is business?
Ms. Hajal: Not as good as anticipated. We opened late and we will have to do
more advertising.
Mr. Falk: Did the staff look at the site?
Mr. Nagy: Yes.
Mr. Falk: Staff is satisfied?
Mr. Nagy: Yes. Mr. Kerby is suggesting sod for the area between the sidewalk
and curb. They are working with owners to the east to upgrade with
Mr. Nagy sod and Mr. Kerby felt the sod would tie in better and be more in
conformity with the rest of the block.
Mr. Falk: Last year she did everything we asked. Staff does not think it
looks bad, therefore, I'm in support of her petition as submitted.
Mr. Vyhnalek: How many feet between the street and the sidewalk?
Mr. Nagy: At best 15 feet.
Mr. Zimmer: How does petitioner feel?
7619
•
Ms. Hajal: We spend $500 for an architect to draw up a plan that was uniform.
I think it would look tacky. It would not carry through the theme.
We have upgraded the other area with the same gravel and it blends
in. Sod would not blend in. Also it is a matter of economics. The
IL' man next door has sod and it does not look as good because it is
difficult to maintain. There is too much foot traffic going through
there.
Mrs. Scurto: I have a diffcult time asking petitioner to change what we asked her
to do because someone comes along with a new plan adjacent to her and
she has to conform to someone else.
Mr. Morrow: We are looking for some consistency. What about a time frame?
Ms. Hajal: We need the license for survival. We can do it later. I do not
think it will aesthetically be as nice. It won't improve the look
of the building.
Mrs. Sobolewski: Up and down the right-of-way along Plymouth where is there
a sodded area?
Mr. Nagy: Texaco station at the corner of Inkster and Plymouth.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.
Mr. Zimmer, Vice-Chairman, declared the public hearing on this item closed.
On a motion duly made by Mrs. Sobolewski, seconded by Mrs. Scurto, it was
.. RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on January 19,
1982 as submitted by George Hajal requesting waiver use approval for
restaurant usage to be provided within a portion of the existing building
located on the north side of Plymouth Road between Cavell and Arcola in
Section 25, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the
City Council that Petition 81-12-2-29 be approved subject to the following
condition:
(1) That the site shall be maintained in accordance with the site plan
Resolution #8-159-79 previously approved by the Planning Commission
under Petition 79-7-8-23P.
for the following reasons:

City Planning Commission to rezone property located on the east side
of Hubbard Road, north of Five Mile Road in the East 1/2 of Section 15,
from R-1 to RUFA.
Mr. Nagy: We have a letter from Engineering indicating no engineering problems.
Mr. Zimmer: This is a petition initiated by the City of Livonia.
Jim Meyers: When we moved in 1950 it was zoned RUF. When was it changed to R-1?
15960 Hubbard We were never notified.
Mr. Nagy: In 1952.
Mr. Meyers: We were never notified.
i
Mr. Nagy: The usual procedure would be two notifications, one of this meeting
and then again at council level. The map is then published in the
Observer.
Mr. Meyer: We are in favor of RUF.
mw.r...
. • 7621
Mr. Smith: RUF.
15410 Hubbard
ILMr. Zombory: In favor of RUF.
Vince Brenner: I am here in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Broescell. They originally
got the split on Lot 721. If this is rezoned it would be difficult
for them to build. They presently live on Hix. They lived on
Hubbard for four years. They are against the petition.
Mr. Nagy: If the rezoning were accomplished they could go to the Zoning Board
of Appeals with a practical diffculty and hardship. They have a
legitimate reason for having RUF waived.
Mrs. Broescell: There is no guarantee.
Mr. Zimmer: I am sure you would like to feel comfortable. You do not wish an
extra administrative hurdle.
Mrs. Broescell: It was very difficult to get the split. Why is the property further
north not included in this petition?
•
Mr. Nagy: It is already RUF.
Mrs. Scurto: When you purchased the parcel did you plan to split it?
Mrs. Broescell: No.
IL Mr. Falk: We could delete her lot.
Mr. Nagy: Yes.
Mr. Falk: That would make them more at ease.
Mr. Nagy: It is so close to a 1/2 acre. It is 99.44/100 percent chance
Zoning Board of Appeals would approve it.
John Brown: I am next door to this property. I never heard of a lot split
32271 Myrna being done. What is the size of that lot?
Mr. Nagy: The City Assessor without notification can split the lot if the
proposed parcels conform to the zoning requirements. The lot is
110 feet by 170 feet.
Jerry Riba: How does this change affect our property?
15562 Hubbard
Mr. Nagy: Theoretically a road could be put in back and with R-1, homes could
be built on the back parts of the lot. RUF in my opinion is more
desirable. You have more space less density and greater yard requirements.
With RUF and 1/2 acre you could raise fowl and rabbits for owners'
consumption. With one or more acres you could have a horse. Only one
lot here is one acre or more.
Mr. Brenner: Mr. Broescell is opposed to RUF. He asks that Lot 721 a,b,c be deleted.
7622
Mrs. Scurto: Is the property that is vacant up for sale?
Mrs. Broescell: Yes, we were going to build on it but the lot split took so much
time we moved instead. We sold the house on Hubbard and could
not build in enough time. We lived on Hubbard and upgraded the
house in four years.
Mr. Vyhnalek: The Zoning Board of Appeals has no alternative but to grant you
your variances as the property is clearly landlocked.
Mrs. Broescell: What happens if they do not?
Mrs. Sobolewski: You can go to court.
Mr. Kluver: It has been R-1 for 30 years. I don't see a problem deleting your lot.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.
Mr. Zimmer, Vice-Chairman, declared the public hearing on this item closed.
On a motion duly made by Mrs. Scurto, seconded by Mr. Vyhnalek, it was
#1-4-82 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on January 19,

property located on the east side of Hubbard Road, north of Five Mile Road
in the East 1/2 of Section 15, from R-1 to RUFA, the City Planning Commission
does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 81-12-1-24 be approved
for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed zoning district is consistent with the prevailing lot
sizes in the subject area.
(2) The proposed zoning is consistent with the adjacent residential
zoning districts in the area.
