LIVONIA TOWNSHIP ZONING COMMISSION
Minutes of a special meeting of the Livonia Township Zoning Com-
mission, held Thursday, Jan. 9th, 1947, in the Township Hall.
Chairman Johnston called the meeting to order at 9 P.M.
Members present:- Carson Johnston, Chairman, G. L. Isbell, and
Attorney Ambrose,
The minutes of the meeting of Dec. 19th, 1946 were read.by
Secretary Isbell. A motion was made by Mr. Johnston, seconded by
Mr. Isbell, that these minutes be adopted as read. Motion carried.
The purpose of this meeting was for the discussion of the
condemnation proceedings instituted by the Board of Education of
the property fronting on Five Mile Road, east of Hubbard, which
site is to be acquired for the new high. school.
A letter from the School Board of November 12th, 1946, was
read by Attorney Ambrose. He also read the letter of the Zoning
Board to the School Board of December 20th, 1946.
A discussion followed and the opinion of the members present
seemed to be, that, while'the School Board. have agreed not to
condemn Lots 51 and 52, which. 1s the site of Mason's Grocery, it
is an injustice to the taxpayers' of the Township to deprive the
Township of the revenue from the taxes of the.Five Mile Road frontage,
which is the central highway in the township, and, as the population
increases, would be one of the main business thoroughfares of the
Td'iwnship.
It was- now agreed that another letter should be sent to the
School Board, and copy sent to the 'tLivonian'° for publication. This
letter was dictated by Attorney Ambrose, and fluwarded to the School_
Board on Jan. 10th, 1947.
There being no further business to come before the Board, a
motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Isbell, and seconded by Mr. Johnston.
Motion carried.
The meeting was adjourned at 10 P.M.
Approved:
C. W. Johnston, Chairman
G. L.Isbell, Secy.
