Mr. Daniel R. Andrew, Chairman, called the Regular Meeting and Public Hearings to order at 8:20 p.m. , with approximately 40 interested people in the audience. MEMBERS PRESENT: Judith Scurto Joseph J. Falk R. Lee Morrow Sue Sobolewski Daniel R. Andrew Donald Vyhnalek Herman Kluver Donna Naidow MEMBERS ABSENT: Jerome Zimmer Messrs. John J. Nagy, City Planning Director, H G Shane, Assistant City Planning Director; and Ralph H. Bakewell, Planner IV, were also present. Mr. Andrew 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. Mr. Falk, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 82-10-1-14 by 1[0Shell Oil Company requesting to rezone property located on the southwest corner of Six Mile and Farmington Roads from C-1 (local business) to C-2 ' (general business) in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 16. Mr. Nagy: We have correspondence dated October 7, 1982 from Engineering, Fire Dept. , and a letter dated October 25th from Traffic, from Lt. Widmaier. Mr. Andrew: Did you request an opinion from Wayne County? Mr. Nagy: Yes, although we have no response. Mr. Phillip Bucalo: Station Owner, 4140 Pear Tree Lane, Plymouth, MI was present. I operate this station and two others in the City. I have been in business for many years. I plan to remove the existing station and put in a completely new service station and car wash. Mr. Andrew: You realize that even with the rezoning accomplished, the use of the property is nonconforming, as it cannot meet the minimum land area requirements for gas stations. Mr. Bucalo: Yes. Mr. Andrew: How soon would you start if your petition is approved? Mr. Bucalo: When the weather breaks, next spring. Iii: Mr. Andrew: Your hours of operation? 12 hours, six days. Mr. Bucalo: I have a presentation to make. I would like to pass this out. It will answer some of the questions that were raised at the last meeting. 7790 Mr. Bucalo: If this is approved I will still be the lessee. If it is approved I would like to put in additional bays at another location, Five and Merriman. I have a rendering that will give you some idea as to the general appearance of the completed project. I also have a plot plan. Mr. Andrew: Has the Planning staff had •an opportunity to look at the plat plan? Mr. Nagy: No, as it has not been presented to us or submitted with the petition. Mr. Bucalo: Before starting this project I had to sit down and figure out what I would gain by this venture. I have to put in a lot of money and if I thought it would not work properly I would not invest the money. The car was will have cloth type equipment, no mark or scratch car wash. The building will be 52 feet long, smaller than the usual 100 ft. car washes. The site will be limited in space. We will have no hand drying, vacuum- ing or vending machines. The auto will be pulled through a 52 ft. building by conveyor. It will take one minute. We will have a wash unit, white wall clean unit, and a blower. I looked at three points: How can I satisfy the customer? Will it work? What kind of operational problems will I have? I don't feel that traffic will be a problem. I have information I would like to present to you. On page 3 there are some potential figures we anticipate. This is a medium sized car wash. 150 to 200 cars a day. It has increased the gas sales. I also have some decibal readings. The latest information on the traffic flow in that area is also included in my presentation. The figures according to the 1979-80 Semcog survey. There are approximately 50,000 cars a day going through there. I don't believe we will add to that count. We won't be bringing customers from four miles away. We will be bringing customers from the traffic flow. At Eight and Farmington they service 800-1,000 customers a day. That is somewhat larger in size. There are no traffic problems there. There was concern over the ice forming from the cars coming from the car wash. 95% of the water is removed. There will be a drain installed at the exit of the building. The area will be kept salted for car and foot traffic. As far as the noise, I have the decibal readings of two car washes with identical equipment. I have our present decibal reading at the station. The two car washes at Grand River and Drake and Northville have a 75 decibal reading. Our car wash has a decibal reading at 1:30 p.m. of 64-70 at three points. The residents have a decibal reading of 50-55. The Mobil station has a reading of 64-70 and Ward Presb. 80 feet back has a 50-55 decibal reading. The Belanger Equipment would have a decibal reading of 75. In heavy traffic a decibel reading is as high as 90. With the proposed located exactly to the rear of the Mobil and right of the bank and two walls 8 feet high the sound will be channeled. We will have a curtain drawn across the car wash. We do not expect stacking of cars. People will come back if they see there is a line. You cannot compare a 52 foot car wash with a 120 foot car wash. Mr. Andrew: Your decibel readings at the car washes at Northville and Grand River were they with the blower on? Mr. Bucalo: All the equipment was on. Mr. Andrew: Are you removing any pumps? IL Mr. BucalO: The Six Mile pump will be removed. Mrs. Scurto: Is it safe to say you will be open during a 12 hour period? What are peak times: 7791 4 Mr. Bucalo: I don't know. Some say 9 a.m. to 10. Some say 10 to noon. Yet some say lunch time and some say 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Our hours will be 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. for car wash and 24 hours for gas. a ' Mrs. Scurto: With 50 cars an hour, there is bound to be a stack up. I feel this is not the armor site for this type of operation. I can see a stack up. Mr. Bucalo: We have employees assisting people to get help. That will speed up things. We do not anticipate 50 cars an hour. That is exceeding the best and biggest car wash. We will be a quality car wash. It will be fast. Mr. Vyhnalek: What happens the first nice day in January? I have concern over a stack up. If this is a going business a 10 car stack up space will not suffice at all. There is bound to be a stack up on Farmington. I foresee problems with cars turning left and people coming in and out of your facility. That congests the whole intersection. Mr. Bucalo: That is one reason we are open all day. People are not going to wait- Mr. Vyhnalek: I see a problem going west on Six and wanting to turn into station and cars exiting and entering at the same exit. I cannot see this type of facility here. Mr. Falk: I share the same concern. I have been driving that intersection for the last 17 years. It is too congested. I cannot see taking down a perfectly / good building. This is the wrong location. The site does not have the capacity. You have 5 and Newburgh. That may be a better corner. Mr. Bucalo: It would be no busier than Eight and Farmington. Mr. Kluver: At peak hours the numbers will accelerate. There are three curb cuts there. This is an overdevelopment of the site. This type of addition will only make that corner worse from a traffic standpoint. Mr. Morrow: My concern is the noise on Sunday morning or Saturday night when residents have their windows open. Mr. Andrew: Anyone in the audience wishing to be heard on this petition? Howard White: Are they going to be able to sell candy, pop? 33602 Wood Mr. Andrew: Just about anything. Mr. White: I presently have young people cut through my yard and climb the wall here. This would worsen. I am opposed to it. Carol Flowers: I am opposed to it. The traffic would be unbearable. 33660 Wood Mr. Andrew: You are a super businessman in our City. Your locations are well kept up and you are a very reputable businessman. My compliments to you for your efforts in keeping up your stations. I feel traffic is a serious problem here. i 1[ There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition. • Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the public hearing on this item closed. 7792 On- a motion duly made by Mr. Falk, seconded by Mr. Vyhnalek, and unanimously adopted, it was #10-187-82 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held on October 26, IL 1982 on Petition 82-10-1-14 as submitted by Shell Oil Company requesting to rezone property located on the southwest corner of Six Mile and Farmington Roads in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 16, from C-1 to C-2, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 82-10-1-14 be denied for the following reasons: (1) The proposed change of zoning would not promote the orderly growth and development of the subject property as the site does not have the capacity to support the intended uses. (2) The proposed change of zoning would be detrimental to the surrounding and established uses of the area. (3) The traffic that would be generated by the proposed change of zoning and the uses permitted thereby would be hazardous to the area as the adjoining thoroughfares of Six Mile and Farmington Roads are already at near capacity and the additional traffic and additional points of ingress and egress would only add to and overburden a very hazardous condition. (4) The proposed change of zoning cannot accommodate the use intended, the existing use is nonconforming and would continue to be nonconforming even if the rezoning sought by this petition was achieved because the subject area is less than the minimum site area required for gasoline service station purposes and it is the intent of the Zoning Ordinance, Section 11 18.22, to eliminate the nonconforming uses. FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was given in ¢ accordance with the provisions of Section 23.05 of Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended. 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 82-9-2-28 by Mr. Van Ormer requesting waiver use approval to construct a self-serve gas station on the northwest corner of Schoolcraft and Merriman Roads in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 2. Mr. Nagy: We have a letter from the Division of Engineering and the Fire Marshall. We have a letter from Traffic Dept. all having no objections. Mr. M. VanOrmer: We have made some changes. 24801 Ecorse Taylor, MI Mr. Shane: There is additional landscaping added on Merriman between existing driveway area. The dumpster will be enclosed with a simulated brick on three sides and then a fence. Mr. Andrew: Does the plan indicate the change? Mr. Shane: Yes. The secondary building at the northwest portion of the site now will have a storage room and two public restrooms. It is a brick building. 4 Mr. Andrew: Are there exhaust fans? Mr. VanOrmer: Yes. 7793 Mrs. Scurto: There will be bottle storage for returns back there. Mr. VanOrmer: Yes. 1 Mrs. Scurto: You are open 24 hours a day? There will be quite an accummulation of bottles. Mr. VanOrmer: The suppliers make more frequent pickups. Mrs. Scurto: There is a person to drag that stuff back and run the station. What is the distance from the station to the auxiliary building? Mr. VanOrmer: 60 feet. When there is shift change the bottles will be taken back. Mr. Shane: The station is brick with metal facing. It is yellow. It is not internally illuminated. Mr. Andrew: Is this a Gas and Go or Boron station? Mr. VanOrmer: Gas and Go. Mr. Andrew: What about air conditioning equipment on this building? Mr. Shane: The refrigeration and air conditioning units have a metal face. They will carry the material all around so it will be on boxlike screen. Mr. Andre4a: There is total enclosure of air handling equipment? 1[ Mr. Shane: Yes. Mr. Andrew: Do the customers walk into the refrigerator? Mr. VanOrmer: i No, the door is to the rear to load in the milk. It is used only by the operator. Mr. Shane: There will be 2 signs on the building, 3 on the canopy and two free- stand (existing) . Mr. Morrow: I saw the Gas and Go at Grand River and Grand Boulevard. The illuminated borders could almost be construed as a sign. Mr. VanOrmer: The building is unlit, but the canopy is in the location you mentioned is well lit because of all the robberies. Mrs. Scurto: Is there anyway to attach the storage-restroom facility to the building? I do not like that building back so far. I feel it is unsafe. Are the restrooms kept locked? Mr. VanOrmer: The restrooms will not be locked. We have limited space. The tank trucks need room to swing around. We do not have the space. Mr. Andrew: Anyone present wishing to be heard regarding this matter? There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition. 10 Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the public hearing on this item closed.
