Messrs. Mark Taormina, Planning Director; At Nowak, Planner IV; and Scott

vacating petition. The Commission's recommendation is forwarded to the City

outcome of the proceedings tonight.
ITEM #1 PETITION 2003 -02 -GB -01 MANNS-FERGUSON
Mr. Pieroecchi, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda, Petition 2003-
02 -GB -01, submitted by Manns -Ferguson Funeral Home
requesting approval to substitute a greenbelt for the prolective
wall as outlined in Section 18.45 of the Zoning Ordinance for
property located at 17000 Middlebelt Road in the Northwest''/.
of Section 13.
20135
Mr. Miller: This site is located on the east side of Middlebell Road between
Grove and Six Mile Road. The applicant is requesting approval
to substitute a greenbelt in lieu of the protective wall that is
required between this office/parking zoned property and the
abutting residential zoned properly. The subject property is
made up of two parcels, both fronting on Middlebelt Road and is
split zoned. The funeral home and part of its parking lot is
located on the northern piece, which is zoned OS. No
prolective walls are required for this properly because it does
not abut any residential; it only abuts commercial or parking
zoned property. The southern parcel is mainly developed as an
extension of the facilities' parking lot and is appropriately zoned
P. This parcel extends further to the east, then the OS parcel,
and abuts Rural Urban Farm zoning along its east or rear
property line. It is along this rear property line where the
petitioner is requesting approval to retain an existing greenbelt.
The Sacred Heart Church is located on the abutting RUF
properly. The City recently approved a greenbelt (Petition 02-
11 -GB -04) for the office building located adjacent and to the
south of this property. From the edge of the funeral home's
parking lot to the east property line of the P parcel is
approximately 200 feel. This entire area is undeveloped and
consists mainly of lawn. The petitioner has stated that even
though they do not have any immediate plans to develop this
extension, they do not want to commit the whole area as
greenbelt. The funeral home is requesting that only the easterly
30 feet be accepted as a substitute. It is within this specific
area, immediately adjacent to the RUF, that existing evergreen
trees are planted. There is also an existing greenbelt along the
back edge of the parking lot. This greenbelt is approximately 10
to 20 feet wide, is slightly bermed and landscaped with
evergreen trees. Because of the distance from the church and
the trees of the greenbelts, the parking lot is pretty well
screened. The Sacred Heart Church itself sets back
approximately 125 feet from the subject site.
Mr. McCann: Is there any correspondence?
Mr. Taormina: There is one item of correspondence from the Inspection
Department, dated February 7, 2003, which reads as follows:
"Pursuant to your request of February 6, 2003, the above -
referenced petition has been reviewed. The following is noted.
(1) The parking lot needs maintenance, resealing and double
striping. The accessible parking needs to be sized property with
access aisles and marked properly. (2) The plan detail shows
five pine trees along the east property line when there are only
four It appears one was removed. This should be replaced to
fill the void now existing. In addition, there are four blue spruce
20136
trees, not three. The southern most spruce is intertwined in the
pine tree and may need to be relocated to survive and be
effective. This Department has no further objections to this
petition." The letter is signed by Alex Bishop, Assistant Director
of Inspection. That is the extent of the correspondence.
Mr. McCann: Is the petitioner here this evening?
Dick Manns, Manns -Ferguson Funeral Home, 17000 Middlebelt, Livonia,
Michigan.
Mr. McCann: This is your petition tonight?
Mr. Manns: Yes.
Mr. McCann: Is there anything else that wasn't said that you'd like to tell us?
Mr. Manns: No, other than the parking lot gets striped almost every year and
seal coated just about every year. If you've seen it in the last
weeks or so, as the frost heaves, it does look bad. It tends to
level out in the summertime as far as the parking lot. The trees,
I didn't hear exactly ... there was a difference on trees that
were noted.
Mr. McCann: By the Inpseclion Department. Yes.
Mr. Manns: If we need to add trees, we can do that.
Mr. McCann: All right. Are there any questions from the Commissioners? Is
there anybody in the audience that wishes to speak for or
against this petition? Have you talked to the neighbor to the
rear, which is the church?
Mr. Manns: Yes.
Mr. McCann: Have you provided them with a copy of the plans?
Mr. Manns: No, I did not. I've talked to them a number of times, both Father
Ivan and some of the other church members who are around
quite often, and they have no objections. They would like to see
things just the way they are.
Mr. McCann: All right. Thankyou.
Mr. McCann: If there are no other questions, a motion is in order.
20137
On a motion by Mr. Shane, seconded by Mr. La Pine, and unanimously approved,
it was
#02-27-2003 RESOLVED, that the City Planning Commission does hereby
recommend to the City Council that Petition 2003 -02 -GB -01,
submitted by Manns -Ferguson Funeral Home requesting
approval to substitute a greenbelt for the prolective wall as
outlined in Section 18.45 of the Zoning Ordinance for properly
located at 17000 Middlebell Road in the Northwest %of Section
13, be approved subject to the following conditions:
1. That the 30 fool wide landscaped greenbelt along the east
property line, as shown on the plan received by the
Planning Commission on January 29, 2003, shall be
substituted for the prolective wall required by Section 18.45
of the Zoning Ordinance;
2. That any change of circumstances in the area containing
the greenbelt resulting in a diminution of the greenbelt's
effectiveness as a protective banner, the owner of the
property shall be required to submit such changes to the
Planning Commission and City Council for their review and
approval or immediately construct the protective wall
pursuant to Section 18.45;
3. That the petitioner shall correct to the Inspection
Department's satisfaction the following as outlined in the
correspondence dated February 7, 2003:

YI=I,4EiYM9=k ik Ole]: W1I*f1Y2&1III 71=INV''J
Mr. Piercecchi,
Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda, Petition
2003-02SN-02, submitted by The Hertz Corporation requesting
approval for signage for the commercial building located at
33910 Plymouth Road in the Southeast''/.of Section 28.
Mr. Miller:
This site is located on the north side of Plymouth Road between
Farmington and Stark. Hertz is requesting approval for a
conforming Sign Package. The Sign Package consists of one
wall sign for the front of the building and a monument type
ground sign. The petitioner has explained that right now they
propose to just erect the sign ten feet back from the right-of-way
line. Curbing would be installed around the sign base to help
prated and define the sign. Hertz has met with the Plymouth
Road Development Authority (PRDA) and pretty much
understands what the authority would like to see developed in
front of their site. But because of a severe illness of the owner
of the property, Hertz, at this time, is unable to obtain any type
of permission to renovate the site. Once the appropriate
permissions have been granted, Hertz fully intends to work with
the PRDA and upgrade the Plymouth Road frontage. Signage
is summarized as follows: Signage Permitted for this site under
Section 18.50H is one wall sign not to exceed 34 square feet in
sign area, and one ground sign not to exceed 30 square feet in
sign area and not to exceed 6 feet in height. Proposed Signage
is one wall sign 34 square feet in area, and one ground sign 30
square feet in sign area and 6 feet in height.
Mr. McCann:
Is there any correspondence?
Mr. Taormina:
There are two items of correspondence. The first item is from
the Inspection Department, dated February 14, 2003, which
reads as follows: 'Pursuant to your request of February 12,
2003, the above -referenced Petition has been reviewed. The
following is noted. (1) The parking lot needs resealing and
double striping, including restnping the barrier free parking. (2)
Parking of vehicles is not allowed within 20 feet of the front
property lot line. This Department has no further objections to
this petition." The letter is signed by Alex Bshop, Assistant
Director of Inspection. The second item is from the Plymouth
Road Development Authority, dated February 25, 2003, which
reads as follows: "At the 14P Regular Meeting of the Plymouth
Road Development Authority of the City of Livonia held on
February 20, 2003, the following resolution was unanimously
adopted. #2003-02 Resolved, that the Plymouth Road
Development Authority does hereby approve and support the
signage plans submitted by the Hertz Corporation for their
20139
location at 33910 Plymouth Road, with the condition that the
brick proposed to be used for the sign base shall match the
brick the P.R.D.A. has selected for streetscape improvements
and that it complies with all other applicable rules, regulations
and ordinances of the City of Livonia." The letter is signed by
John J. Nagy, Plymouth Road Development Authority Director.
That is the extent of the correspondence.
Mr. McCann:
Is the petitioner here this evening?
John W. Palmer, representing the Hertz Corporafion, Detroit Metropolitan Airport,
Building 289C, Detroit, MI48242.
Mr. McCann:
Thank you. Is there anything additional you would like to tell us
about your petition this evening?
Mr. Palmer:
No, sir. I've met with you before and also Mr. Nagy's group. If
there are any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
Mr. McCann:
Thank you. Mr. Alanskas?
Mr. Alanskas:
I just have two questions. What hours are you open for
business?
Mr. Palmer:
7 a.m. until 6 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Mr. Alanskas:
So the sign in the evening would not be on all night long?
Mr. Palmer:
That is correct. We can tum it off. We can put it on a timer.
Mr. La Pine:
I might have misunderstood you, but the sign that is going up is
a permanent sign and the Plymouth Road Development
Authority will put the wall right around this? The sign is not
going to be removed. It will be there. This is the right location.
You know that's right as far as where they are going to put the
wrought iron and the setbacks?
Mr. Palmer:
Yes, sir. We are in agreement, as we stated in the meeting, that
it is to our benefit to have wrought iron and the brick facade that
is going to be presented. We worked out a configuration with
Mr. Nagy. We have our sign permit. We put it in where it's
going now permanently, and then theyre going to go around on
both sides.
Mr. La Pine:
You're going to be able to get the brick that they've been using
all along?
20140
Mr. Palmer:
Yes, sir. As a matter of fact, we brought the sign company and
they can answer any specific questions thatyou may have.
Mr. La Pine:
The second question I have, you indicated to us at our study
meeting that you wanted a small sign there by the driveway.
We asked you to put it on the plan. Its not on the plan.
Mr. Palmer:
That is correct. That is my error. I will petition again at a later
date because during Mr. Nagys meeting, I failed at that time to
present it. It would be unfair for me to put that up. In talking to
the Building Department, it is something we can present at a
later time.
Mr. La Pine:
Okay. It's too bad you didn't get the whole thing.
Mr. Palmer:
I apologize for that, but it was an error at the last minute.
Mr. McCann:
On that point, if you file a new petition, you have to amend the
whole plan basically. Mark, if he tells us what's on the sign and
the dimensions tonight, is that something we can add to this site
plan, subject to approval from the Plymouth Road Development
Authority and the Council?
Mr. Taormina:
Well, you could certainly consider that if you understand clearly
what the sign is going to look like and determine that it complies
with the sign regulations. If not, it may have to be referred to
the Zoning Board of Appeals. But I believe directional signage
is limited to two square feet and can only be in the forth of an
entrance or an exit sign. Scott, cored me if I'm wrong. I don't
believe it can induce the name of the business on the sign. So
he is entitled to a directional sign. In this particular case, it's
actually off-site because it's going to be at the entrance to CAT,
which is a shared driveway. Because an easement agreement
exists between the two properties, maybe that's not an issue.
Mr. McCann:
Weren't you going to go with the lettering of rental cars in the
form of an arrow and keep it within two feet?
Mr. Palmer:
Yes, sir.
Mr. McCann:
Is that what you want to do?
Mr. Palmer:
Yes, sir.
Mr. McCann:
As we discussed at the study meeting, I don't think that would
conflict with our directional signs. Would it, Mr. Taormina?
20141
Mr. Taormina: You know, I wasn't part of that discussion. It may not. We will
double check with the Building Department. Otherwise, they'd
have to get a variance.
Mr. McCann: All right. That sounds fair. Any other questions? Is there
anybody in the audience that wishes to speak for or against this
petition? Seeing no one, a motion is in order.
On a motion by Mr. LaPine, seconded by Mr. Alanskas, and unanimously
approved, it was
#02-28-2003 RESOLVED, that the City Planning Commission does hereby
recommend to the City Council that Petition 2003-02Sh402,
submitted by The Hertz Corporation requesting approval for
signage for the commercial building located at 33910 Plymouth
Road in the Southeast''/.of Section 28, be approved subject to
the following conditions:
1. That the Sign Package submitted by Sign -A -Rama, on
behalf of Hertz, as received by the Planning Commission
on February 12, 2003, is hereby approved and shall be
adhered to;
2. That the Site Plan submitted by Hertz, as received by the
Planning Commission on February 21, 2003, is hereby
approved and shall be adhered to;
3. That the signage shall not be illuminated beyond one (1)
hour after this business doses;
4. That any additional signage shall come back before the
Planning Commission and City Council for their review and
approval; and
5. That the brick on the sign shall match the brick that has
been approved by the Plymouth Road Development
Authority.
Mr. McCann: Is there any discussion?
Mr. Miller: I know he's agreed to it, but I dont know about the letter from
the PRDA. Do you want to include that the brick shall match the
brick approved by the PRDA?
Mr. LaPine: I guess thafs a good point. We can make that as the next point:
That the brick on the sign shall match the brick that has been
approved by the Plymouth Road Development Authority.
20142
Mr. McCann: Is that all rightwith you, Mr. Alanskas?
Mr. Alanskas: Sure.
Mr. McCann, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing
resolution adopted. It will go on to City Council with an
approving resolution. This condudes the Miscellaneous Site
Plan section of our agenda. We will now proceed with the
Pending Item section of our agenda. These items have been
discussed at length in prior meetings; therefore, there will only
be limited discussion tonight. Audience participation will require
unanimous consent from the Commission. Will the Secretary
please read the next item?
ITEM #3 PETITION 20024 2-01 4 8 ALYMINA PROPERTIES
Mr. Pieroecohi, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda, Petition
2002-12-01-18 submitted by Michael Margherio, on behalf of
Alymina Properties, LLC, requesting to rezone property located
on the north side of SchoolcreR Road between Berwick Avenue
and Merman Road in the Southeast %of Section 22 from RIF
to R-1.
Mr. McCann: On February 19, 2003, the Planning Commission received a
letter from Michael Margherio stating: "Please table my petition
for rezoning of the property at 31850 Schodcraft. Thank you"
Is there a motion to remove this from the table or should we
leave it on the table?
Mr. Alanskas: Leave it on the table.
Mr. McCann: There is unanimous consent from the Planning Commission.
This will remain on the table until such time as ifs re -noticed.
ITEM #4 PETITION 2003-01-08-03 BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO
Mr. Pieroecchi, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda, Petition
2003-01-08-03 submitted by Tiseo Architects, on behalf of
Blockbuster Video, requesting approval of all plans required by
Section 18.58 of the Zoning Ordinance in connection with a
proposal to construct a commercial building on property located
at 3760937685 Five Mile Road in the Northeast''/.of Section
19.
20143
On a motion by Mr. Piercecchi, seconded by Mr. Alanskas, and approved, it was
#02-29-2003
RESOLVED, that the City Planning Commission does hereby

Architects, on behalf of Blockbuster Video, requesting approval

in connection with a proposal to construct a commercial building
on properly located at 37609-37685 Five Mile Road in the
Northeast 'W Section 19, be removed from the table.
Mr. McCann,
Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing
resolution adopted. Is there anything new with regard to this
petition, Mr. Taormina?
Mr. Taormina:
No new information has been presented to us. I would note,
however, that each one of you should have in your packets a
letter from a resident.
Mr. McCann:
Yes, we did receive an email from Annette Austin basically
stating that she is a Blockbuster customer, that she lives in the
area, and she would like to see them stay in the area. Is the
petitioner here this evening?
Ben Tiseo, Tiseo Architects, Inc., 19815 Farmington Road, Livonia. I'd like to
just add a couple of points from our Iasi meeting if there are no
objections.
Mr. McCann:
Please.
Mr. Tiseo:
There are some comments that I've heard from the last meeting
and since then that I'd like to address. There have been some
comments that the site may not be suited for an outlot building
since it wasn't originally constructed that way. That has some
valid points; however, I still believe that sites not originally
designed for oullots can accommodate new ou0ol structures.
There was a comment made bst time about the building being
too dose to the shopping center building itself. I made
reference to the Big Boy there at Newburgh and Five Mile at
that plaza. The proposed video store would be 30' closer to that
Big Boys at Five Mile Road; however, the bank itself that's
currently there is 30 feet closer to the building than this building
would be. In other words, the Blockbuster Video building would
be 30 feel in front of the bank building so there's more distance
there.
Mr. McCann:
Mr. Tiseo, pu've got me confused. What Big Boy at Five Mile
and Newburgh?
20144
Mr. Tiseo:
I'm sorry. Six Mile and Newburgh, the Newburgh Plaza. I stand
corrected.
Mr. McCann:
Thankyou.
Mr. Tiseo:
There were some comments about will the Blockbuster Video
assist in the retails at the center, and absolutely it will.
Blockbuster itself generates about 1,200 trips a week per each
site, so that other businesses have been in great favor of having
a Blockbuster Video store on their site because of the large
number of visits that it will generate. They generally try and
come either in an outlot or an endcap. That's where they find
they've been most successful in centers. So I believe, again,
that it would be a plus to all the businesses in there in support of
that. As the rep from Blockbuster said last time, if they cant find
another location right at that comer, they probably will not find
another location in Livonia. They currently have four and if they
go more than a mile, it's going to be outside of their service area
and, frankly, I was told that they would just not pursue it. So
they would lose, and we would lose a fourth Blockbuster Video
in Livonia. There has also been some discussion that I had
regarding the concern about vacant space and more recently
regarding Fanner Jack and all the bad press its gotten in the
newspapers regarding their economic future. First of all, I guess
you can't believe everything you read in the paper. Fanner
Jack, as far as I know, is still a strong company. The idea that
the Farmer Jack store is not doing well is incorrect. I spoke to
Mr. John Nagy today regarding the fact that they approached
John a few years ago to see how they could expand their store
because their store is doing well, and they would like to expand
it It is a smaller store. The owners have been trying to find
some mechanism, some way to expand that store. So Fanner
Jack's is going strong. If there are any closures, nobody knows
about that whether they'll be in Detroit or outside of Detroit. I'm
not aware of any of that. If there are any other questions, I'll
gladly address them. Thank you.
Mr. McCann:
Are there any questions from the Commissioners? Is there
anybody in the audience that wishes to speak for or against this
petition? Is there any objection from the Planning Commission?
Mr. La Pine:
No objection.
Jerry Pfeifer, 14515
Ronnie Lane. I'm a resident in the area and a frequent user
of the shopping center. 1, for one, would like to voice my
objection to this type of outlot planning for this shopping center.
Personally, I do not like the appearance of having another
building put up in front there. I think it would detract from the
20145
overall appearance of this shopping center. In addition,
although it's not exactly the same, there is some poor planning
that's already existing across the street from that on the
northern side of Five Mile where you've got one strip mall
behind another strip mall and you have problems of getting in
and out of the shopping center there, especially off of
Newburgh. This outlot type of thing would just help detract and
degrade, I think, the overall planning of the area. So I'm kind of
opposed to that. If, by some chance, it does get approved, then
I think you would have to take a serious look at how that
building is going to change the ingress and egress from the
existing shopping center because it would detract and degrade
the existing traffic patterns going into and using especially
Fanner Jack for people who come into the shopping center and
then go across the front along Five Mile and then into the
shopping center area. So you would have to take a serious
look, in my mind, in how you may restructure and organize the
traffic flow in that and maybe another entrance. And then also,
Blockbuster does have a drive -up drop box. I don't know if they
have one planned for this site, but if they do, then how that fits
into the traffic flow would have to be taken into consideration.
Just one comment: hopefully Blockbuster can stay in the area.
There is an existing store that is vacant not less than a half mile
away. It's located next to CVS where the old Naked Furniture
store used to be located. Actually, it would probably be just a
little bit larger than what they currently got. But that certainly
would be another opportunity for Blockbuster. It would be my
recommendation to take a dose look at that. I think it would
well serve them, although it is a little bit doser to the other video
store, right there on the comer, but it still would be well within
theirservicearea. Thank you for your time.
Mr. McCann: Thank you. A motion is in order.
On a motion by Mr. La Pine, seconded by Mr. Alanskas, and unanimously
approved, it was
#0230-2003 RESOLVED, that the City Planning Commission does hereby
recommend to the City Council that Pefifion 2003-01-08-03
submitted by Tiseo Architects, on behalf of Blockbuster Video,
requesting approval of all plans required by Section 18.58 of the
Zoning Ordinance in connection with a proposal to construct a
commercial building on property located at 37609-37685 Five
Mile Road in the Northeast %of Section 19, be denied for the
following reasons:
1. That the pefifioner has failed to comply with all general
standards and requirements as set forth in Sections 18.58
and 19.06 ofthe Zoning Ordinance;
20146
2. That additional commercial space is not necessary for this
center or the surrounding area;
3. That the layout of the building within an existing parking lot
would unduly tax and conflict with the established and
normal traffic flow of the area;
4. Based on the severe number of deficient parking spaces,
this site is unable to accommodate this type of expansion;
5. Allowing this type of development would be detrimental to
the aesthetic quality and appeal of the overall site and
would atter the character of the shopping center;
6. That approving this satellite building would not only set a
undesirable precedent in the area but for the City as a
whole; and
7. That the petitioner has failed to comply with all the
concerns deemed necessary for the safety and welfare of
the City and its residents.
Mr. McCann: Is there any discussion?
John Walsh: First I'd like to thank my colleagues for tabling this. I was out of
town in Washington last week, or two weeks ago, and was
unable to be here 8r the meeting. I have struggled with this
decision because we have basically a good business that is
being dislocated because of the success of another business.
Blockbuster has been a good neighbor, represented by Ben
Tiseo, who has been a very good community citizen and has
done good work in the City. I have spent some time at the site
and some time with Mr. Tiseo. And despite the good things
about having Blockbuster in the City, and I hope they don't
leave, but I'm just not comfortable with adding more commercial
space. I just could not get my arms around that. But I intend to
vote in favor of the denying resolution. I do hope that
Blockbuster can find an alternative place in town. Naked
Furniture is one alternative. Mr. Tiseo, I would direct you and/or
Blockbuster Video to Jeff Bryant, the Economic Development
Manager for the City. He may be able to identify other locations
with his data base and perhaps the Livonia Chambers data
base. We might be able to find a suitable location. Thank you,
Mr. Chair.
Mr. McCann: Any other discussion? I appreciate you thanlang us for tabling
this, but it was because we had a tie. I do have a comment.
20147
Mr. Tseo, you know I voted in favor of it last week, and I was
going to up until you spoke this evening. I'm afraid you
convinced me that maybe we need to wait. My concern lies in
Fanner Jack. As you said, it's an outdated building. It's just not
large enough for a center. If it needs to be expanded, the only
way they can expand it is to come out maybe another 30 or 50
feet, and there wouldn't be any room left to do that in the
parking if we put an outbuilding there. In order to make that
mall as a whole and to have an anchor of a grocery store, I think
we need to save the room. So I'm going to vote it against it.
Will the secretary please call the roll.
Mr. McCann, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing
resolution adopted. The petitioner has len days to appeal the
decision to the City Council in writing.
