Mr. Ian Wilshaw, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Members present: Sam Caramagno Glen Long Betsy McCue Carol Smiley Peter Ventura Ian Wilshaw Members absent: Kevin Priddy Mr. Mark Taormina, Planning Director, and Ms. Margie Watson, Program Supervisor, were also present. Chairman Wilshaw informed the audience that if a petition on tonight's agenda involves a rezoning request, this Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council who, in turn, will hold its own public hearing and make the final determination as to whether a petition is approved or denied. The Planning Commission holds the only public hearing on a request for preliminary plat and/or vacating petition. The Commission's recommendation is forwarded to the City Council for the final determination as to whether a plat is accepted or rejected. If a petition requesting a waiver of use or site plan approval is denied tonight, the petitioner has ten days in which to appeal the decision, in writing, to the City Council. Resolutions adopted by the City Planning Commission become effective seven (7) days after the date of adoption. The Planning Commission and the professional staff have reviewed each of these petitions upon their filing. The staff has furnished the Commission with both approving and denying resolutions, which the Commission may, or may not, use depending on the outcome of the proceedings tonight. ITEM #1 PETITION 2018-06-02-14 CHINA HOUSE INN Mr. Caramagno, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda, Petition 2018- 06-02-14 submitted by Mike and Anna Chen, requesting waiver use approval pursuant to Section 19.06 of the City of Livonia Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended, to operate a full-service restaurant (China House Inn) at 33602 Seven Mile Road, located on the north side of Seven Mile Road between Farmington and Norwich Roads in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 4. Mr. Taormina: This is a required public hearing in connection with a request to operate a full-service restaurant. This is property located on the July 31, 2018 28685 north side of Seven Mile Road between Farmington and Norwich Roads. The zoning of the site is C-1, Local Business. China House Inn would occupy two interior units within this multi-tenant shopping center. The two units combined represent about 2,800 square feet of area, a space that is 40 feet in width by 64 feet in depth. In 2003, one of the subject units was approved for Quizno's, a limited service restaurant that operated for couple of years before vacating. It was replaced with another limited service restaurant which was Taste of This World, but today both units are vacant. The shopping center building overall is about 8,600 square feet in size. Other tenants include Tomii Chinese Acupressure, Irish Rose Florist and Elite Catering. The C-1 zoning permits limited service restaurants subject to waiver use approval. Limited service restaurants can have seating for up to 30 persons. This proposed restaurant would have a total of 44 seats, but Section 19.06 of the ordinance grants Council the authority to waive or modify any of the special requirements of a waiver use. Thus, Council can approve the seating capacity beyond 30. The proposed restaurant would offer food items, both for dine-in as well as carry-out service. The restaurant seating would consist of tables and chairs with a total count of 44 seats. No outdoor seating is proposed. No modifications to the exterior of the building are planned. China Inn would be entitled to one sign totaling 40 square feet. In terms of parking, in the case of group commercial centers where more than 15 percent of the floor area is devoted to restaurants, the ordinance requires parking at a ratio of one space for every 125 square feet of useable floor area. For this shopping center, where approximately 32.5 percent of the floor area would be devoted to the restaurant, it would require a total of 55 parking spaces. The site plan presented has a total of 43 spaces resulting in a deficiency of 12 parking spaces and will require a variance. It's important to note, however, that the petitioner has indicated that over 65 percent of her business is in the form of carry-out. With that, Mr. Chairman, I can read out the departmental correspondence. Mr. Wilshaw: Yes, please. Mr. Taormina: There are five items of correspondence. The first item is from the Engineering Division, dated July 5, 2018, which reads as follows: "In accordance with your request, the Engineering Division has reviewed the above referenced petition. We have no objections to the proposed waiver use at this time. The existing parcel is assigned a range of addresses from #33600 to #33612 Seven Mile Road, with the address of#33612 Seven Mile Road being assigned to the overall parcel. The submitted legal description July 31, 2018 28686 appears to be correct and should be used in conjunction with this petition. The existing building is currently serviced by public water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer. Should renovations to the building require alterations to the existing services, drawings will need to be submitted to this department to determine if permits will be required." The letter is signed by David W. Lear, P.E., Assistant City Engineer. The second letter is from the Livonia Fire & Rescue Division, dated July 23, 2018, which reads as follows: "This office has reviewed the site plan submitted in connection with a request to a full-service restaurant on property located at the above referenced address. We have no objections to this proposal."The letter is signed by Keith Bo, Fire Marshal. The third letter is from the Division of Police, dated July 23, 2018, which reads as follows: I have reviewed the plans in connection with the petition. I have no objections to the proposal." The letter is signed by Brian Leigh, Sergeant, Traffic Bureau. The fourth letter is from the Treasurer's Department, dated July 6, 2018, which reads as follows: "In accordance with your request, the Treasurer's Office has reviewed the address connected with the above noted petition. At this time, there are no outstanding amounts receivable for taxes. Therefore, I have no objections to the proposal." The letter is signed by Lynda Scheel, Treasurer. The fifth letter is from the Finance Department, dated July 5, 2018, which reads as follows: "I have reviewed the addresses connected with the above noted petition. As there are no outstanding amounts receivable, general or water and sewer, I have no objections to the proposal."The letter is signed by Coline Coleman, Chief Accountant. That is the extent of the correspondence. Mr. Wilshaw: Are there any questions of the Planning Director? Seeing none, would the petitioner please come forward. We will need your name and address for the record please. Anna Chen, China House Inn, 47433 Glengarry Blvd., Canton, Michigan 48188. Ted Constantine: I'm here as an agent for the Soave brothers. Mr. Wilshaw: Okay. Which is the landlord. Mr. Constantine:Yes. Mr. Wilshaw: Is there any additional information you would like to present to us on this petition? Mr. Constantine:At the preliminary hearing, there was some stipulations that we needed to do some work on the property. I presented a proposed July 31, 2018 28687 print with those items designated for improvements and to have performed such as parking lot striping and an enclosure for the grease container and things like that. Those are all in the works currently. But it's most important that we find out tonight that we can get this approval for their application so we can move forward. Mr. Wilshaw: Is there anything else, Ms. Chen, that you'd like to add? Okay. Are there any questions for our petitioner? Ms. Smiley: I see your drawing here revised July 27. My question is about the dumpster and the grease container. Could you give us a little more detail? I can't tell much from your drawing what you're going to do there. Mr. Constantine:The container actually is probably about six feet long and approximately three feet wide. It's on wheels. And that enclosure would consist of maybe a gated area, something that is screened so it's hidden behind that gate. It's not anything other than a post and a gate that would enclosure it because it abuts to or is adjacent to the back wall of the property, and/or the dumpster enclosure that's currently there. Ms. Smiley Before you go to Council, though, you're going to need a little more detail. Mr. Constantine: More detail, yes. Ms. Smiley: Much more detail, and maybe an actual drawing with the actual materials you're going to use. Mr. Constantine:Yes. Ms. Smiley: Okay. Thank you. Ms. McCue: Are we saying then the grease container will be within the enclosure? Mr. Constantine: It would be outside to the northwest side of the dumpster enclosure that's currently there. And all I'm adding to it is a gate that will enclosure it. Ms. McCue: Okay. Thank you. Mr. Ventura: Mr. Constantine, in the spirit of the comments of Ms. Smiley regarding the dumpster enclosure, can you tell us what you plan to do to update the landscaping? July 31, 2018 28688 Mr. Constantine:Well, I had some thoughts, but I have not put them on paper yet. Maybe some bushes. There's currently some decorative grass that's there. I know there's some older shrubs outdated, and our plan was to update the facility or the area. I think there's three locations that have planters. Again, there are yews that are outgrown. Again, it's in need of updating. But we would add some bushes, some ornamental trees and along with that, the mulch with possibly flowers every year. Mr. Ventura: Is there an operating irrigation system there? Mr. Constantine:Yes. Mr. Ventura: Great. Thank you. And this is another thing that when you go to Council, you'll need detailed plans. Mr. Constantine: I'll need what? Mr. Ventura: Detailed plans with the plantings and what species you're putting in and so forth. Mr. Constantine:Okay. Mr. Ventura: Thank you. Mr. Long: At your current location, what's the seating capacity? Ms. Chen: Forty. Mr. Long: And are you ever really full at capacity for people dining in? Ms. Chen: Once in a while it's a full house. Mr. Long: The reason why I ask is for the parking variance. If you're going to 44 here, you'll likely won't have 44 visitors during the middle of the day when that parking lot may be its fullest. Would that be a correct statement? Mr. Constantine:Yes. Mr. Long: Because obviously there's a parking deficiency, but because most of your business is carry-out, I think that we'll be fine. Mr. Constantine:And as we stated at our last preliminary hearing, the two other businesses that occupy that building, their businesses are all gone at 4:00, 5:00. They're done for the day basically. { July 31, 2018 28689 Mr. Long: Great. Thank you. { Mr. Wilshaw: Is there anybody in the audience that wishes to speak for or against this item? Michael King: I work at the credit union next door, Community Financial, 34000 W. Seven Mile Road. I grew up in Livonia. I've lived here my entire life. I'm a police reserve. I've been there for 23 years. My main focus is just to see that some of the empty buildings are getting filled and getting replaced with thriving businesses. We were going to send in a written petition. We thought it would be better to come in and actually speak on her behalf. I've been to her restaurant many times. I know that she's going through a hard time right now with the rent and everything's been changed. I think it's a great chance for her to stay in Livonia and to move to a location that is not really doing a whole lot of business at this time. It seems very slow over there. Just from being at the credit union, we can see that there's not a whole lot of business over there, other than the catering business. That seems to be the only thing that's going on. So I think it would be a really good thing to see in Livonia, something like that to come about. Mr. Wilshaw: Thank you, Mr. King. I appreciate that. Thank you for your service to our community too. Is there anyone else in the audience wishing to speak? Yes, sir. Alex Hansen, 3513 Amber Oaks, Howell, Michigan. I'm actually the current branch manager of the Community Financial branch, and Mike will actually be taking over as branch manager here in the next six months. I wanted to speak on behalf of my feeling positive in regards to the petitioner moving in. I've been with Community Financial for about 4.5 years, and throughout most of my time at Community Financial, I've seen, I believe it is the World Café location was empty. It would be extremely positive to get additional traffic into the area to allow for this variance. Serving on the Zoning Board of Appeals of Howell Township, I can appreciate where you folks are coming from and need to take into account the unique situation that they are asking, but the positives, certainly in my opinion, outweigh any negatives. Community Financial, like the current businesses that are in that shopping plaza, obviously we've got banker hours. So it would definitely be a positive to allow the variance and the petitioners to be approved so they can move into the location, not only from a standpoint that it would provide another lunch venue for my employees. Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate you considering it. July 31, 2018 28690 Mr. Wilshaw: Excellent. Thank you for coming. Ms. Smiley: What are your banker hours? Mr. Hansen: Presently, the credit union is open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, on Friday we're open 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and on Saturday we're open 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. So throughout those hours, obviously, I'm not speaking on behalf of the credit union, but it would be one of those situations where, as you can see, we are actually immediately to the west of the petitioner's location, and all those spots that we share a property line with, a lot of times I don't see too many of our members that are utilizing those spots, but that would be something that maybe speaking out loud that the petitioner could seek approval from upper management at our headquarters in Plymouth to possibly utilize those locations off hours. Ms. Smiley: Thank you very much. That's exactly where I was going. Mr. Hansen: I could see that. Thank you so much for your time. Mr. Wilshaw: Petitioners, is there anything else that you want to add? Mr. Constantine: Not at this time. Mr. Wilshaw: All right. With that, I will close the public hearing and ask for a motion. On a motion by Smiley, seconded by McCue, and unanimously adopted, it was #07-53-2018 RESOLVED, that pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held by the City Planning Commission on July 31, 2018, on Petition 2018-06-02-14 submitted by Mike and Anna Chen, requesting waiver use approval pursuant to Section 19.06 of the City of Livonia Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended, to operate a full- service restaurant (China House Inn) at 33602 Seven Mile Road, located on the north side of Seven Mile Road between Farmington and Norwich Roads in the Southeast IA of Section 4, which property is zoned C-1, the Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 2018-06-02- 14 be approved subject to the following conditions: 1.

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. Wilshaw, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted. It will go on to City Council with an approving resolution. Ms. Smiley: Could I add one thing? Before you go to Council, if you're in a hurry, I would have a detailed landscape plan, a very detailed landscape plan, as well as a detailed . . . Mr. Constantine: Enclosure? Ms. Smiley: Yes. Mr. Wilshaw: That will certainly help you. Ms. Smiley: Could we help him with a seven-day waiver? Mr. Constantine:Will we get a copy of the approval? Mr. Taormina: Yes. Mr. Wilshaw: Mark, Ms. Smiley is asking if a seven -ay waiver would be helpful to this petitioner in this case? Mr. Taormina: It could be. If you want to approve it, then we can take a look at it tomorrow morning to see if it benefits them at all. Mr. Wilshaw: Okay. Would you like to offer the motion? On a motion by Smiley, seconded by Ventura, and unanimously adopted, it was #07-54-2018 RESOLVED, that the City Planning Commission does hereby determine to waive the provisions of Section 10 of Article VI of the Planning Commission Rules of Procedure, regarding the effective date of a resolution after the seven-day period from the date of adoption by the Planning Commission, in connection with Petition 2018-06-02-14 submitted by Mike and Anna Chen, requesting waiver use approval pursuant to Section 19.06 of the City of Livonia Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended, to operate a full-service restaurant (China House Inn) at 33602 Seven Mile Road, located on the north side of Seven Mile Road between Farmington and Norwich Roads in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 4. July 31, 2018 28693 Mr. Wilshaw, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted. We are waiving the seven-day requirement for our minutes to be approved so that you can go on Council. This will helpfully speed you up a little bit in the process. Mr. Taormina will look into this tomorrow and see if that will be helpful. We're just trying to help move you along a little quicker. Mr. Constantine:Thank you, because time is of the essence. But again, we thank the Commission. ITEM #2 PETITION 2018-07-02-15 BURGERIM Mr. Caramagno, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda, Petition 2018- 07-02-15 submitted by MA Designers Inc. requesting waiver use approval pursuant to Section 11.03(c) of the City of Livonia Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended, to operate a full-service restaurant (Burgerim) at 30991 Five Mile Road within the Livonia Plaza Shopping Center, located on the south side of Five Mile Road between Merriman Road and Henry Ruff Road in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 23. Mr. Taormina: Tonight's second public hearing is also a proposal for a restaurant. This would be at the Livonia Plaza Shopping Center, which is on the south side of Five Mile Road. The major tenants in this plaza include Kroger and TJ Maxx. The zoning is C-2, General Business. The plaza is about 133,000 square feet in size, and it is divided into approximately 20 tenant spaces. Waiver use authorization to operate a full-service restaurant falls under Section 11.03(c). Full service restaurants have a seating capacity for more than 30 persons. This proposed restaurant would have seating available for 41 people. Burgerim would occupy an interior unit near the west end of the shopping complex, adjacent to the Wild Bill's Tobacco. This space is about 20 feet by 92 feet in depth, roughly 1,873 square feet. The seating area would be located at the front of the unit consisting of tables and chairs as well as counter stools. The proposed site plan does not show any outdoor seating. No modifications to the building are proposed, other than the interior space. The unit would be allowed one exterior wall sign measuring 20 square feet and parking is more than adequate for this use. With that, Mr. Chairman, I can read out the departmental correspondence. Mr. Wilshaw: Yes, please. July 31, 2018 28694 Mr. Taormina: There are five items of correspondence. The first item is from the Engineering Division, dated July 9, 2018, which reads as follows: "In accordance with your request, the Engineering Division has reviewed the above referenced petition. We have no objections to the proposed waiver use at this time. The existing parcel is assigned a range of addresses from #30935 to #30997 Five Mile Road, with the address of#30905 Five Mile Road being assigned to the overall parcel. The submitted legal description appears to be correct and should be used in conjunction with this petition. The existing building is currently serviced by public water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer. Should renovations to the building require alterations to the existing services, drawings will need to be submitted to this department to determine if permits will be required. Also, should any work be required within the Five Mile Road right-of-way, permits from Wayne County will need to be obtained." The letter is signed by David W. Lear, P.E., Assistant City Engineer. The second letter is from the Livonia Fire & Rescue Division, dated July 23, 2018, which reads as follows: "This office has reviewed the site plan submitted in connection with a request to a full-service restaurant on property located at the above referenced address. We have no objections to this proposal with the following stipulations: (1) Plans do not reflect proper occupancy numbers. (2) Plans reflect two doors for egress; only one door can be counted. (3) CO2 detection required for beverage distribution systems and coolers if tank/tanks are 100 lbs. or greater. (Per 2015 IFC 5307.1)" The letter is signed by Keith Bo, Fire Marshal. The third letter is from the Division of Police, dated July 23, 2018, which reads as follows: "I have reviewed the plans in connection with the petition. I have no objections to the proposal." The letter is signed by Brian Leigh, Sergeant, Traffic Bureau. The fourth letter is from the Treasurer's Department, dated July 6, 2018, which reads as follows: "In accordance with your request, the Treasurer's Office has reviewed the address connected with the above noted petition. At this time, there are no outstanding amounts receivable for taxes. Therefore, I have no objections to the proposal." The letter is signed by Lynda Scheel, Treasurer. The fifth letter is from the Finance Department, dated July 6, 2018, which reads as follows: "I have reviewed the addresses connected with the above noted petition. As there are no outstanding amounts receivable, general or water and sewer, I have no objections to the proposal." The letter is signed by Coline Coleman, Chief Accountant. That is the extent of the correspondence. Mr. Wilshaw: Are there any questions of the Planning Director? Seeing none, the petitioner is here. We will need your name and address for the record please. July 31, 2018 28695 Amad Berry, 5872 Rockland Court, Dearborn Heights, Michigan. Good evening. It's a new franchise, and most of the business is carry-out. Always had this site in mind. We had to go through a lot of stuff with corporate to get this site approved because I like Livonia and I was thinking to move into Livonia. I'm hoping that we get approval. Mr. Wilshaw: Are you the franchise operator? Mr. Berry: Yes. Mr. Wilshaw: Do we have any questions for our petitioner? Mr. Ventura: What kind of beverages will you serve there? Will it strictly be soft drinks? Mr. Berry: I'm sorry. I didn't hear you. Mr. Ventura: Will there be any alcoholic beverages served? Mr. Berry: No. No alcohol. Mr. Ventura: This may be a little bit off the topic, but I'm reading from your website that you serve hamburgers, not sliders. What's the difference between your burger and a slider? Mr. Berry: Ours are just a little bit bigger. Just like I told you. It's a new franchise. I'm not 100 percent sure exactly. It was something that we did some homework on because we also have Little Caesar's. I'm also a franchisee at Little Caesar's but it's in Boston. Mr. Ventura: Are you operating another restaurant here in Detroit? Mr. Berry: No. Mr. Ventura: Thank you. Mr. Caramagno: I've got a question. Maybe it's more for Mark than it is the petitioner. Mark, I see there's only one bathroom, one unisex toilet here for the customers that's accessible. Is that typical of what we do in restaurants? Mr. Taormina: There are two unisex bathrooms and one appears to only be available for employees. I think given the occupancy load, he'll probably have to provide two accessible restroom facilities. And so that second one is going to have to be available for the public July 31, 2018 28696 and not restricted to employees. They are going to have to work those details out with the Inspection Department. My guess is, based on the seating, they might have to have two restrooms. Unfortunately, we didn't the Inspection Department's report in time. Mr. Berry: It's basically carry-out, and what we have seen in other places that opened up, like in California and Texas, their business is like 80 percent carry-out, 20 percent dine-in. Mr. Wilshaw: Are there any other questions for the petitioner? Seeing none, there is no one else on in the audience to speak for or against this item? Is there anything else, Mr. Berry, that you'd like to add to this? Mr. Berry: No. I just hope that you guys approve it. Mr. Wilshaw: Thank you. With that, I will close the public hearing and ask for a motion. On a motion by Ventura, seconded by Long, and unanimously adopted, it was #07-55-2018 RESOLVED, that pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held by the City Planning Commission on July 31, 2018, on Petition 2018-07-02-15 submitted by MA Designers Inc. requesting waiver use approval pursuant to Section 11.03(c) of the City of Livonia Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended, to operate a full- service restaurant (Burgerim) at 30991 Five Mile Road within the Livonia Plaza Shopping Center, located on the south side of Five Mile Road between Merriman Road and Henry Ruff Road in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 23, which property is zoned C-2 and P, the Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 2018-07-02-15 be approved subject to the following conditions: 1.

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. Wilshaw: Is there any discussion? Mr. Long: I wonder if the maker of the motion would entertain an addition to make sure this conforms with any response that the Inspection Department may provide? Mr. Ventura: Agreed.
