MINUTES OF THE 502nd REGULAR MEETING
AND PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD BY THE CITY
PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
t
LIVONIA
On Tuesday, August 27, 1985, the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia
held its 502nd Regular Meeting and Public Hearings in the Livonia City Hall , 33000
Civic Center Drive, Livonia, Michigan.
Mr. R. Lee Morrow, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. , with approx-
imately 35 interested persons in the audience.
Members present: R. Lee Morrow Donald Vyhnalek Jeannne Hildebrandt
C. Russ Smith Michael Duggan Michael Soranno
Donna Naidow
Members absent: Herman Kluver Sue Sobolewski
Messrs. John J. Nagy, Planning Director; H. G. Shane, Assistant Planning Director;
and Ralph H. Bakewell , Planner IV, were also present.
Mr. Morrow 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 hold its own public hearing and decide the question. If a petition
involves a waiver of use request and the request is denied, the petitioner has ten
days in which to appeal the decision to the City Council ; otherwise the petition is
leterminated.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 85-7-1-19
by the City Planning Commission to rezone property located on the
north side of Five Mile Road between Inkster Road and Harrison in the
Southeast 1/4 of Section 13 from C-1 and P to P.S.
Mr. Shane: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering/Building Department
stating there are no engineering problems in connection with this
petition. That is the extent of our correspondence.
Mr. Clark, Clark-Fron Realty, 27492 Five Mile Road: I am owner and partner of Clark-
Fron Realty. My reaction to this proposal is that something you have
worked for all your life, someone else comes along to take it from
you. I have a good-looking building on this lot. When I bought it,
it had been zoned commercial for a long time and I bought it with the
knowledge that commercial zoning was the proper place for my real
estate business and now after investing much effort and money, I find
that the value of it as commercial property will be watered down and my
occupancy as a real estate office becomes a nonconforming use.
Mr. Morrow: As opposed to commercial , it would be more of a general office use.
Mr. Clark: When I built, the City also insisted that I build a suitable commercial
building. It wasn't something I wanted to do at the time but we did
it. Now this would make it nonconforming and make it difficult to sell
for another use or even a real estate office. Anybody wanting to use
it would have to ask for a special approval . The area is generally
commercial . If we had that many doctors and dentists, it would be fine
but there aren't that many. There are other commercial uses in the area,
and only two professional uses in there now. What is proposed will strike
9432
down all the commercial uses and only benefit the doctors that are in there now.
I
Mr. Duggan: People who are in buildings now won't be stopped from using them as
they are?
Mr. Shane: That is correct. The real estate won 't be a nonconforming use. Should
another real estate want to go in if he moves out, he would be granted
a building permit. Another use might require a waiver of use.
Mr. Duggan: From the time I have been on the Commission , when insurance companies
asked for waivers to go into a particular district, they have been
granted them. This isn 't something that is likely to cause a greal deal
of trouble.
Michael VanEss, owner of Livonia Sauna: I own the Livonia Sauna and am trying to being
up a business. The original business has been there since 1949. If
it goes to P.S. and I decide to sell the business as a sauna, I want to
know how it will effect me. I purchased it to build up a sauna and
will I be able to sell it as another sauna or will I be hurt?
Mr. Morrow: One of the reasons this carte up is that for a number of years this has
been shown on the Future Land Use Plan as professional as opposed to
commercial . The Future Land Use Plan is a long term plan. The Planning
Commission had in mind that there seemed to be a large amount of com-
mercial in there and we thought professional service would be more in
keeping with the surrounding neighborhood.
1110e`Mr. Shane: As far as the sauna is concerned, it is already a legal , nonconforming
use. If this is changed to P.S. , it will be no more or less nonconform-
ing and you could sell it for the same business. If you wanted to
expand, you may have difficulty.
Ann Conley, 27610 Five Mile Road: Does this mean I have to give up my house? Could I sell ?
Mr. Shane : P.S. would not make you any more or less nonconforming.
Dorothy Bruce, 29218 Broadmoor: I had a number of calls from people in the area. In
the case of Ann Conley, she would have P.S. on one side and C-1 on the
other and I don't think she would like that situation. We do have
small commercial businesses which are good businesses but I am concerned
about the property across the street from the P.S. The C-2 is more of
a danger than the C-1 and causes a lot of problems along the strip.
The property presently in use as C-1 appears to be okay but I am concerned
about what could come in the C-2. P.S. actually wouldn' t deteriorate the
property because P.S. is controlled. Even if it is rezoned to P.S. ,
someone with a good use could come in and get it rezoned again. I am
asking that you look more into the commercial across the street.
Mr. Morrow: What was the nature of the calls you received?
Mrs. Bruce: They wanted to know what was going onand what you are going to do. 1
think it looks like you are trying to control the area by rezoning it.
4Mr. Clark: Mrs. Conley asked what would happen if she wanted to sell her property.
If she has to sell it as P.S. , then she has a problem of getting a
doctor or CPA whereas if it is commercial she would have a much wider
market. I think this petition takes away a great deal of the market
9433
should she want to sell . I think it takes away from the market of
the whole area. There just aren't that many buyers for professional
service. You reduce the value of the property by making it less
saleable.
Mr. Morrow: For some reason, people want to build professional service and ask for
a waiver of use for general office uses. I see more of that than I do
of commercial .
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 85-7-1 -19 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Duggan, seconded by Mr. Smith and unanimously adopted,
it was
#8-185-85 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on August 27, 1985
on Petition 85-7-1-19 by the City Planning Commission to rezone property
located on the north side of Five Mile Road between Inkster Road and
Harrison in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 13 from C-1 and P to P.S. ,
the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council
that Petition 85-7-1-19 be approved for the following reasons :
(1) The proposed changes of zoning are supported by the Future Land
Use Plan which recommends office uses for the area.
(2) The proposed changes of zoning will prevent further proliferation
IV of commercial uses in an area already adequately served by com-
mercial facilities.
(3) The proposed changes of zoning will encourage the future use of
the subject lands for uses which are more compatible to adjacent
residential uses.
(4) The proposed changes of zoning will aid in the prevention of more
strip commercial development along Five Mile Road.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 23.05 of Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended.
Mr. Smith: I think there is some communication gap here when a resident asks if
they can still stay in their home. That is not the intent of the Commis-
sion. The intent is to make the area more in harmony with the uses there
now. You can stay in your home and you can sell it as a home. And, it
is better to have professional than to face the development of a party
store next to your home.
Mr. Morrow, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 85-7-1-20
by the City Planning Commission to rezone property located on the east
side of Beatrice Avenue, north of Schoolcraft in the Southeast 1/4 of
ISection 23 from C-1 to R-1 .
Ir. Shane: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division indicating
that there are no engineering problems connected with this petition.
9434
Stephen Foley, 300 E. Maple Road, Birmingham: I am an attorney and am here on behalf
of some of the residents in the area who own property south of this lot
(Lots 10b1 & 10b2) . Those individuals have owned the land for an extended
period of time. The reason we are objecting to this rezoning is because of
the hardship on my clients for future development. With the additional
residential behind them it could put a hardship on the future development
and they are contemplating developing the property. C-1 to R-1 would require
additional investment and also coming before you in order to try to develop
it. We would like you to consider something we have owned as commercial
and hope that you would not hold back the development of the property.
Residential being behind them could pose additional hardships.
Mr. Morrow: Do they own the property under consideration :
Mr. Foley: No, but we are concerned about the effect the zoning of this property would
have on our property. There would be a requirement for a wall between
the properties.
Mr. Morrow: It could be waived but we don ' t know whether or not it would be. Who are
the owners of the two houses abutting on the west.
Mr. Shane : The purpose of this rezoning is that their lots would be all in one zoning.
The hardship he is talking about has to do with setback.
Mr. Soranno: What would you consider putting on that parcel?
Mr. Foley:IF At this point in time, we are in the process of negotiating with Michigan
Bell for a small station of some sort with regard to telephones. It
would be a terminal station. This is about the only piece of property they
could have and we are talking about a possibly small structure. The
potential for this site is very good. My client has indicated a possibility
of extending his present business. This rezoning could put a damper of
any development of the property.
Mr,. Smith: I think the hardship is very minimal . No matter what you do there, you
will have to put the wall up. It has been deeded to the residential
property owners and this is just a clean-up process for people who have
C-1 for a backyard.
Mr. Foley: We were not aware that the land had already been deeded.
Robert Ewald, 13962 Beatrice : I am the owner of Lot 202, and I am also representing
my next door neighbor. I originally wrote a letter requesting this
rezoning because my backyard was commercial . They will have to put a
wall four lots long in if they build, and I can't see that setback would
be a problem with just a small station being built there.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 85-7-1-20 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Soranno, seconded by Mrs. Hildebrandt and unanimously adopted,
it was
1[8-186-85
RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on August 27, 1985
on Petition 85-7-1 -20 by the City Planning Commission to rezone property
located on the east side of Beatrice Avenue, north of Schoolcraft in the
Southeast 1/4 of Section 23 from C-1 to R-1 , the City Planning Commission
9435
does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 85-7-1 -20 be
a approved for the following reasons :
(1) The proposed change of zoning will remove commercial zoning
from residentially used property.
(2) The proposed change of zoning is consistent with the Planning
Commission policy of having zoning and land use compatible.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 23.05 of Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended.
Mr. Morrow, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 85-8-2-29
by Sedar Enterprises requesting waiver use approval to locate general
office uses within a building proposed to be constructed on the south-
west corner of Middlebelt and Wentworth in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 14.
Mr. Shane: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division stating there
are no engineering problems connected with this proposal .
Iry Kamp, 33200 Schoolcraft: I am one of the owners of Sedar Enterprises. We are
presently erecting the building and I request that we be allowed to lease
to general office as well as professional service. Half of the building
is rented now to professional service and we believe we can include some
general office use.
Il11 There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow, Chairman,
declared the public hearing on Petition 85-8-2-29 closed.
e On a motion duly made by Mr. Vyhnalek, seconded by Mrs. Hildebrandt and unanimously

(2) The proposed use complies with all waiver use requirements set
forth in Section 9.03 and 19.06 of Zoning Ordinance #543.
(3) The proposed use will cause little change in the intensity of
II: use experienced if the site were used exclusively for uses
permitted in the. P,S. Zoning District.

Section 11 .
Mr. Shane: A letter in the file from the Engineering Division states that there are
no engineering problems in connection with this petition.

ABSENT: Kluver, Sobolewski
Mr. Morrow, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution

Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 85-8-2-32
by Twin Valley Corporation requesting waiver use approval to construct
general offices on property located on the east side of Farmington Road
between Eight Mile Road and Norfolk in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 3.
Mr. Shane : There is a letter in the file from the Fire Department stating that the
ingress and egress lanes off Farmington Road should be increased from
18' to 20' , and that the fire hydrant should be relocated from its
current position east of building D to a traffic island immediately south
100 of that to eliminate parking interference with water supply. A letter
from the Engineering Division notes that there are no City maintained
storm sewers readily available to service the site and that Norfolk Avenue,
according to the City's Master Thoroughfare Plan, is to be 86' wide.
Donald Summers, representing Twin Valley Corporation, 24189 Twin Valley Ct. Farmington
Hills : We propose a site similar to what we did at Schoolcraft and
• Merriman. Regarding the Engineer's report which states there are no
storm sewers -- there is a storm manhole with a lead and when I checked
with Engineering, they do not have any working drawings of such. Apparently
the plans are lost. We are proposing to save as many trees as possible.
To the east, there is quite a large distance between the residents and our
proposed building; in excess of 100' .
Mr. Shane : The site plan does recognize the 86' width if it should be necessary.
John Nienhaus, 33409 Norfolk: I have lived here for 28 years. My concern is the
buildings which are north of this on the west side across from this
parcel which have commercial signs, and what is going to surround this
70 home area. And, I would like clarified what size buildings are going
on this parcel .
Mr. Morrow: The area you speak of as commercial is residential , in the RUFA zone, and
the fact that the signs say commercial realty has nothing to do with the
zoning.
110 4Mr. Bakewell explained the site plan in detail to the Commission and persons in the
audience.
/Robert Nash, 20245 Shadyside : The Leather Bottle storm is on Shadyside and I think the
reason is that there is none on Farmington Road. I would like to see
as many trees as possible kept on the site.
9438
Mr. Smith : You might want to call the Engineering Division regarding any storm sewer
11 problems.
Mr. Nash: There was a petition before on the same property.
Mr. Shane: The petition before you then was to rezone the property. This petition
concerns the use of the property.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 85-8-2-32 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Vyhnalek, seconded by Mrs. Naidow and unanimously adopted,
it was
#8-190-85 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on August 27, 1985
on Petition 85-8-2-32 by Twin Valley Corporation requesting waiver use approval

1/4 of Section 3, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend
to the City Council that Petition 85-8-2-32 be approved subject to the
following conditions :
(1) that the Site Plan, as revised, dated August 5 , 1985, prepared
by Twin Valley Corporation, which is hereby approved shall be
adhered to;

for the following reasons :
(1 ) The proposed use complies with all waiver use requirements and
standards set forth in Section 9.03 and 19.06 of Zoning Ordinance
#543.
(2) The subject site has the capacity to accommodate the proposed use.
(3) The proposed use is compatible and in harmony with the surrounding
uses in the area.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 19.05 of Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended.
Mr. Morrow, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted,
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 85-7-3-6
by the City Planning Commission to vacate Priscilla Lane, north of
Plymouth. Road, west of Stark Road, in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 28.
9439
Mr. Shane: It is noted in a letter dated August 6, 1985 from the Engineering Division
that if Priscilla Lane is to be vacated, it will be necessary to re-ditch
some areas along the Boston Post Road right-of-way as well as remove the
existing gravel within the Priscilla Lane right-of-way. Some gravel
would have to be retained in order to allow access to an existing garage
located on Lot 20. The Detroit Edison Company's letter states they have
no objection provided satisfactory arrangements are made with the petitioner
for the relocation or protection of any existing Edison equipment. The
letter from Consumers Power Company indicates that they have no facilities
within the proposed area to be vacated. The Fire Department has indicated
by letter that they have no objections to the proposed vacating and a
letter from the Traffic Bureau states that the closure of Priscilla Lane
would eradicate the annoyance to residents of Boston Post brought about
by vehicles cutting through between Stark and Plymouth Road, and that the
closure of this street would not necessarily hamper emergency police access
to the area.
Irene Davis, 11624 Boston Post : I am against closing this. I use Priscilla Lane quite
a bit. I don't think everyone in the neighborhood should have to go out
to Stark to get to Plymouth Road.
Mr. Smith: When Wendy's is opened, do you feel that would have any bearing on your
objection?
Ms. Davis : From what I understand, there will be another lane and that should help.
[MS.
Driscoll , 11677 Boston Post (Lot 20) : We are the only house on the corner of the
street. I came home today and there was a back up of cars at Plymouth
and Stark. These streets will be paved and I will have to pay for Boston
Post and Priscilla lane so that people can speed through the subdivision.
Mr. Morrow: You would like to see the road closed?
Ms. Driscoll : Yes, I would.
Mr. Vyhnalek; If they close the road, what happens to the property?
Mr. Shane : If Priscilla Lane is vacated, half the right-of-way will go to Ms. Driscoll
and half to the other property on the east.
Mr. Vyhnalek: The City will not plow it?
Ms. Driscoll : No, they don't plow it now.
Mr. Shane: She would just retain the 30' .
Joseph Vanzo, 12066 Boston Post Road: If the road is vacated, would it be barricaded?
Mr. Shane : It would become private property. Mrs. Driscoll could take her half of
the road and Wendy's would take their half and stop them from making a
street there.
Mr. Vanzo: Is that the only way it can be vacated?
)1r. Morrow: Yes, if the City vacates it, it goes to the abutting property owners.
Mr. Vanzo: There are several people who feel there should be a deceleration lane on
Plymouth Road. That would alleviate another lane of traffic at this
9440
intersection at certain hours of the day.
Mr. Morrow: The deceleration lane would be put in to benefit Wendy's and there would
be an increase in traffic.
1[ Mr. Vanzo: We feel we are victims of circumstances. There are people in the area
who like to use Priscilla Lane to get to Plymouth Road. I blame the City
for not maintaining the street with police. The police do come and they
give out a lot of tickets in a hurry. Then people don't use it but they
come back before long. Stark Road is no easy situation and we feel we
would be put out by having to use Stark Road instead of Priscilla Lane.
Mrs. Bruce: Why not just abandon half the street and leave the rest open.
Mr. Smith : AS one Commissioner, I am not in favor of closing half the street. Maybe
we are jumping the gun with our petition and should possibly table this
until Wendy's does open and the deceleration lane is in use.
Resident, 34550 Beacon: There are times when I can't get out on Stark because of the
traffic being jammed up from the railroad track and have to come up to
Priscilla Lane to get out. I think it would be a shame to close Priscilla.
Mrs. Driscoll : That is the problem -- Stark does get backed up and you can't expect the
police to be out there every day. I go to work every day and have to wait
for the traffic.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 85-7-3-6 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mrs. Hildebrandt and seconded by Mr. Soranno, it was

1[,
on Petition 85-7-3-6 by the City Planning Commission to vacate Priscilla
Lane, north of Plymouth Road, west of Stark Road, in the Southwest 1/4
of Section 28, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the
City Council that Petition 85-7-3-6 be denied for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed street vacating would eliminate any direct means of
access from Alden Village Subdivision to Plymouth Road.
(2) The proposed street vacating would be detrimental to maintenance
of a proper road system for the neighborhood.
(3) The proposed street vacating would eliminate any buffer area
between the abutting residential area and the commercial zoning
district.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 12.08.030 of the Livonia Code of Ordinances.

Mr. Carries`e was present and stated that he knew nothing about the other meetings of
the Commission or the requirements of the City, that those matters are covered in a
contract he has with the contractor. He said the dish is up now and he has no objection
to its appearance and his neighbors have no objection to it. It had to go on the roof
because of the tree and it is written in the contract that it is subject to the approval
of the City of Livonia.
Mr. Duggan asked if there had been any complaints on this and Mr. Nagy replied, no.
' Discussion was held regarding the location of the antenna on the roof and to what extent
it could be seen from Six Mile Road.

lthe Commission should remember that if he comes back again. This is why I wanted this
brought back to hear what he had to say.
