#3-42 - 83 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on March 15, 1983
on Petition 83-2-1-4 by the City Planning Commission to rezone property located
on the west side of Wayne Road, north of Joy Road in the Southwest 1/4 of
Section 33, from RUF to P.S. , the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend
to the City Council that Petition 83-2-1-4 be approved for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zoning is consistent with the Future Land Use
Plan of the City of Livonia as adopted by the Planning Commission.
(2) The proposed change of zoning is consistent with the Planning Commission
goals and policies for land use as the proposed change of zoning would
act as a buffer separating the established residential neighborhood
from the adverse affects of the heavily travelled thoroughfares.
(3) The proposed change of zoning will provide for a uniform zoning classification
in this area and not leave a remanent parcel of residential zoning in the
mid-block area.
(4) The proposed change of zoning and uses permitted are compatible to and
in harmony with the surrounding and established uses of the area.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above Public Hearing was given in
accordance with the provisions of Section 23.05 of Zoning Ordinance #543.
1[0er Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
s. Scurto announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 83-2-1-5 by Carrollton Arms
to rezone property located on the north side of Seven Mile Road, east of
Farmington Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 3, from R-2A to R-7.
Mr. Nagy: We have a letter from Gary Clark, Division of Engineering dated February 21,
1983.
Mr. Bob Paciocco: 36776 Vargo, Livonia
I am a partner of Carrollton Arms. We are proposing on approximately
19 to 20 acres, 96 two bedroom condos and 56 one bedroom condos. We
plan to retain residential zoning on the east side of Shadyside to
provide for a buffer of single family homes to• separate the established
single family residential neighborhood to.the west of this development.
The one bedroom condos will be 900 square feet and the two bedroom condos
1,050 square feet. The property is best suited for condo type living.
It is a narrow strip and to the north is school property and a City park.
There are commercial stores to the south. It is a very good piece of property
for this type of housing which is badly needed in this area. There is a big
shortage of condos in Livonia, Northville, Plymouth.
Mr. Morrow: Most of the access will be on Seven Mile.
4r. Paciocco: The access will be on Seven Mile just east of the shopping center.
Shadyside will not be effected.
4r. Zimmer: The yellow lots are excluded and will remain R2A.
Iv
Mr. Andrew: That is correct. Anyone in the audience wishing to be heard on this matter?
7878
I.
Henry Kost .n: 192 '.L Shadyside, Livonia, Mi.
I wondered about access to Shadyside.
Mr. Andrew: No access to Shadyside.
Mr. Costin: How high will the structures be?
Mr. Paciocco: Two story units.
Mr. John Candlish: 32415 Seven Mile, Livonia, Mi.
Where will the sewer be? There is none down Seven Mile?
Mr. Priest: We will tap the sewer on Shadyside. It will adequately serve that
property. The storm sewers will be taken care of by the Tarabusi Creek.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.
Mr. Andrew, Chairman', declared the public hearing on this item closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Vyhnalek, seconded by Mr. Kluver, and unanimously adopted,
it was
#3-43-83 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on March 15, 1983
on Petition 83-2-1-5 by Carrollton Arms, a Michigan Co-Partnership requesting
to rezone property located on the north side of Seven Mile Road, east of
Farmington Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 3, from R.-2A to R-7, the City
Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition
83-2-1-5 be approved for the following reasons:
11;
(1) The proposed change of zoning and uses permitted would be compatible
to and in harmony with the surrounding and established uses of the area.
(2) The proposed change of zoning and the increased density that would
be 'permitted by the proposed change of zoning can be accommodated
in this area as there is located to the north and east open space
lands consisting of either-: flood plain area or park and school lands
that will provide permanent open space adjacent. to this development.
(3) The proposed change of zoning will not adversely affect the surrounding
area as the arra is adequately separated and buffered from the surrounding
and established residential uses as there is permanent open space to the
northeast, there is either commercial, parking or large acreage parcels
to the south and the project itself will, provide for a single family
transitional area on the west.
(4) The proposed change of zoning will not adversely affect the surrounding
area from a traffic standpoint as the area proposed for the rezoning
has direct access to Seven Mile Road.
(5) The proposed change of zoning to the R-7 multi-family zoning classification
will maximize on the unique property configuration, topography and open
space potential of the area.

L

Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
Mrs. Scurto announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 83-2=2-4 by LPR Land
Company requesting waiver use approval to construct a building for general
office use on the northeast corner of Farmington Road and Lyndon Avenue in
the Northwest 1/4 of Section 22.
Mr. Nagy: We have a letter from Mr. and Mrs. J. Smiley, 33149 Allen, dated March 3,
1983, residents of Kimberly Oaks opposing the petition.
We have a letter from the Wayne County Road Commission dated March 1, 1983
from A.E. Sunstrum.
We have a letter dated March 9, 1983 from Mr. R. Rienke, 14377 Westmore,
opposing the petition.
We have a letter from Mr. David Hulgrave, 33209 Lyndon, opposing the petition.
We have a letter from Lieutenant Widmaier, Division of Public Safety,
Traffic.
li;
We have a letter from A. Sawyer, Department of Public Safety, Division of
Fire.
Mr. Gene Lambert, 555 South Woodward, Birmingham, Michigan:
It is our desire to construct a Class A building providing some of the
finest office space in Livonia. We would like the flexibility to put in
-
7880
office tena. other than professional services. We are looking for Clash
A office tenants. We will have no store front tenants. There is a great
1[
deal of need in Livonia for this type building.
,Mr. Andrew: You will not have barber shops, cafeteria type operations?
Mr. Lambert: We will have no commercial services.
Mrs. Scurto: What would keep this development eventually from having a restaurant
such as Jacques?
Mr. Andrew: A rezoning would be required.
Mr. Lambert: We are trying to have a building which would attract a tenant that
needed 15,000 to 20,000 sq. ft. This is non existent in Livonia at
this time. By use of landscaping and setback we can achieve a look
compatible with the residential area. We think that the two-story
with all brick veneer facade will look very wall and blend in with
the residential area.
Mr. Andrew: What about abolishing Lyndon as an entrance and exit or just using
Lyndon as an exit only?
Mr. Lambert: Wayne County Road Commission and we believe that Lyndon is essential
to best serve this site. We have revised the site plan with a large
berm. Cars will not be seen on Westmore. We are keeping lighting levels
at night down. The lighting as it runs around the berm area will shine
toward Farmington Road. There will be no glare into the subdivision.
It will be our policy on the building to turn all but a few security
lights out by 10 p.m. We feel to best service the complex that we need
IL to. ingress and egress on Lyndon as well as two ingress and egress points
on Farmington.
Mr. Andrew: Which will be Phase 1 construction?
Mr. Lambert: It would be the southerly building.
Mr. Andrew: At what point in time would you move ahead with Phase 2?
Mr. Lambert: Hopefully we could continue with Phase 2 before we completed Phase 1.
There will be about 30,000 sq. ft. of rental space in each building.
In order for use to get through with the financing we must have approved
plans. About 83 percent of the square footage is net rental area. There
will be about 25,000 to 26,000 square feet of rental space. The berm will
be about three to four feet in height with about 20 feet for run off.
Mr. Andrew: The widened, most-northerly driveway and changed radii are reflected on
the revised print?
Mr. Lambert: Yes.
Mr. Andrew: If you reverse the phases would it be a possiblity that you could create
the two Farmington Road exits and eliminate Lyndon.
!!r. Lambert: I don't think it is possible. It would be very detrimental to the overall
development not to use Lyndon.
r. Zimmer: Then the use of Lyndon as a drive is a feature regardless of development of
1 or 2?
-
. 7881
Mr. Lambert: Yes. It is most convenient to keep our construction activities to the
1[: north without inconvience to our tenants with other construction activities.
Mr. Zimmer: How many cars can stack up between the new proposed cut in Lyndon's
boulevard?
Mr. Nagy: About 6 to 7 cars.
Mr. Lambert: One other change you might note we have set back the parking on Farmington.
We have added another 10 feet. In that regard we lost -5 parking spaces.
Mr. Zimmer: Would car headlights shine into the homes of residents on Westmore?
Mr. Lambert: I don't think that is possible.
Mr. Morrow: Have you built any professional buildings?
Mr. Lambert: Yes. •
Mr. Morrow: This size?
Mr. Lambert: No.
Mr. Morrow: In your opinion the P.S. zoning versus general office, which would
generate more traffic?
[ Mr.
Lambert: It depends on the type of P.S. and type of general office. Some general
office tenants would generate a lot of office space and very few tenants or
vice versa.
Mrs. Scurto: How long has this been zoned P.S.?
Mr. Nagy: Since February 3, 1981, Ordinance amendment #854.
Mr. Andrew: If the curb cut was not put in on Lyndon could you use the site without it?
Mr. Lambert: I am not sure how the site can be utilized in an efficient manner without it.
Wayne County Road Commission feels strongly Lyndon is needed.
Mr. Andrew: Any one in the audience wishing to be heard on this petition?
Mr. Gene Syverson, 33164 Martin, Livonia:
Lyndon has homes all the way from Inkster to Farmington. This plan
changes a very clearly marked entrance into a subdivision. There will
be too much traffic. I hope you keep that in mind later on when a P.S.
development wants in.
Carl Ericson, Attorney for property owner Edward Maskeny, 33150 Barkley, Livonia:
Mr. Maskeny is opposed to this petition on general grounds. It would be
detrimental to the beauty, harmony and safety of the residential area.
There is plenty of general office space available in Livonia. This develop-
ment does not take the needs of the community into consideration. The
IL surrounding property owners rights and needs have not been adequately
provided for.
7882
Mr. Kiuver: If this was doctors versus Company XYZ, P.S. zoning would allow almost
the same size, same topography, same parking, same ingress and egress.
That is the present zoning here, P.S. They could duplicate this site
plan.
IL
Mrs. Getsinger, 14656 Westmore, Livonia:
My home faces the property across the street. My home has been on the
market for several months. I received an offer last week. When the
prospective buyer went to the City and found out about this zoning, they
withdrew their offer. I cannot sell my home.
Mr. Dave Hulgrave, 33209 Lyndon, Livonia:
I have three small children. We have enjoyed having an open field. I
am opposed to this opening on Lyndon. The size of this building is too
big for the site in question. I think with the new City Hall, etc. you
are trying to make this area a show case. City Hall is back far enough on
Five Mile but this building is up so close to the road.
Mr. Schuster, 33080 Oakley, Livonia:
You have a master plan utilizing this property with something other than
general office use. The rendering provided here looks overwhelming
compared to the other building in this area.
Mr. Thompson: 14309 Westmore, Livonia:
I spentone-half hour at 5:30 p.m. and I found 300,000 sq. ft. available
for rent for anyone. I don't know why we need the likes of that in our area.
I thought when the expressway was built it would decrease the traffic on
Lyndon. Instead in increased. We have enough traffic with the baseball
fields, Hockey, Spree.
Mr. Kcm Williams, 33070 Barkley, Livonia:
1[0 .
° Are they going to get a tax credit?
Mr. Andrew: I don't know if they have applied for EDC financing.
Mr. Williams: They should pay their fair share of taxes. Times seem to be getting better.
If times go bad and they cannot finish this project, who is responsible?
Mr. Andrew: The mortgage company might be unhappy.
Resident, 33010 Oakley, Livonia:
We have seen progress in this area with City Hall, Fire Department. We
are surrounded by various commercial buildings•. I think we the citizens
should change lt to something else. We have enough commercial.
Mrs. Collins, Lyndon Ave. :
When we moved here in 1969 my taxes were $700. Now they are $2500. I
think it is ridiculous to pay these kinds of taxes to have this stuff.
Mr. Cowley, 14323 Westmore, Livonia:
I don't think it fits into the neighborhood scheme. I do have a little
girl that does go down Lyndon. I can foresee more traffic, more accidents.
The lighting will be a nuisance. The Farmington Road lights as well as
the Ford Field lights are already there and a nuisance.
4r. Andrew: Do you face Farmington Road?
Cowley: No.
7883
Don Dane, Hubbard Ave: .
I:
I realize this is now zoned P.S. However, they are trying to go to a larger
scope. P.S. would be a much lesser scope. If you reduce the scope you reduce
the problems. A smaller, shorter building and more green and less traffic
would reduce problems. We have boulevards up Lyndon. . We are proud of them.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Were there any P.S. site plans submitted in the past?
Mr. Nagy: This is the first one.
Mr. Allan, 14196 Cranston, Livonia:
This would have conceivably more traffic than P.S. I jog in this area. There
are a considerable number of children riding bikes to Ford Field, Livonia Y,
etc. This will be very hazardous.
Mrs. Scurto: I could not live with an ingress and egress on Lyndon and therefore,
cannot support this petition. I would like to say that the people who
own this property pay an exorbitant amount of taxes and are entitled
to use their property. If you wish to pool your money and buy it for a
field you have that option.
Mr. Zimmer: I have no trouble with the waiver use. P.S. zoning has been there a
long time. I would like to explore the possibility of closing off the
Lyndon ingress and egress.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.
[Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the public hearing on this item closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Zimmer, seconded by Mrs. Scurto, and adopted, it was
#3-46-83 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on March 15,

requesting waiver use approval to utilize a Class C Liquor License within a
banquest hall proposed to be located on the north side of Plymouth Road between
Merriman and Hubbard Roads in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 27.
John Del Signore, 14680 Fairlane, Livonia:
I would like to build a banquet hall. It would be able to hold 600 people.
Ar. Anlrew: Do you need the Class C license for the banquet hall?
. DelSignore: Yes.
Mr. Andrew: When do you plan to start?
7884
Mr. Del Signore: In ',he next couple of months.
Mr. Zimmer: Are the parking requirements met?
_' Mr. Bakewell: Yes.
Mr. Zimmer: Currently is the restaurant deficient?
Mr. Del Signore: We have adequate parking at the restaurant.
Mr. Vyhnalek: You will enter the banquet hall site through the restaurant site also.
It will be a horseshoe effect.
Mr. Del Signore: Yes. Through the restaurant but not my wife's building.
Mr. Zimmer: How wide is the greenbelt on Plymouth Road?
Mr. Bakewell: 15 feet.
Mr. Zimmer: What is the building setback?
Mr. Bakewell: 60 feet to the front of the most forward projected area where the
windows are. Edward's Glass is forward, Welding is forward. These buildings
are non-conforming.

Gary Clark.
John Hoyt, 3014'; Orangelawn, Livonia:
I would like to see the same stipulations as last year. The City was very
cooperative. Last year we did have a shooting and a carnival trailer smashed
the Stroh's Store at Joy and Middlebelt. I would hope that a new company would
be used by the Jaycees.
7885

Mr. C. D. Hardy, 409 Jefferson, 4th Floor, Detroit, MI 48226:
We will be storing light trucks and small trenching equipment along with
some rolls of cable.
Mr. Vyhnalek: The area is now gravel and will have to be paved.
Mme. Hardy: We realized that. We just moved in on March 1.
Mrs. Scurto: What is the height of trenching equipment? '

El•
Mr. Roth, 17220 W. 12 Mile Road, Ste. 201, Southfield, MI 48076:
I am opposed to it. They have moved equipment on my property. The building
is too small for them. At 7:30 a.m. there were at least 100 vehicles working
out of that location. My tenant has had to call the police a few times.
There are over 50 pieces of equipment. They need a larger site.
7886
Mr. Nagy: We looker at the site in mid-afternoon. We found at least 50 panelized
I: vehicles. There were also employee vehicles there. Every inch was being
utilized. There are only 10 parking spaces avaiable outside of the yard
area.
Mr. Hardy: We have obtained 15 spaces from Lot 14. We are using those and have re-
solved some of the problems. We have a larger storage area in Pontiac.
We have moved some of the equipment back to Pontiac and Romulus.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Planning will attempt to police this.
Mr. Nagy: It is our responsibility to enforce the zoning ordinance.
Mrs. Scurto: I would like to see a lease agreement that you have made with Lot 14.
Is that area paved?

in. •

to try and work something out with my neighbor?

We have revised the plans. For the most part the trucks will be in the well.
