stated it will be within the next year or two. Hasn't had ancpportunity to
draw plans.
Mr. Walker asked whether petitioner would utilize entire parcel for clinic.

100' x 339' .
Mr. Goldman stated that the hack portion would be used for parking.
Mr. Robinson stated Commission is attempting to avoid string type commercial
areas and that this size parcel would allow petitioner to establish another
commercial business on the parcel. Dr. Shulman stated he hadn't contemplated
another business.
1606 0
Mr. Robinson stated that ordinarily a clinic fits nicely into residential areas.
Questioned advisability of rezoning parcel this size.
Mr. Greene asked nature of land directly behind parcel in question. Dr. Shul-
man stated he purchased property from lady across the street. Did not think
there was anything directly behind parcel. There is one other building in the
block on the corner of Middlebelt Road.
Mr. Robinson asked whether petitioner would be willing todecrease the size of
the requested rezoning. Request is more than what is needed by the petitioner
for the purpose specified. Dr. Shulman stated he is willing if the
Commission feels it is necessary.
No one was present objecting to petition as submitted.
Mr. Kane asked what assurance Commission has that two yearnfrom now
petitioner will still be intendi :g to build on parcel. Mr. Robinson stated
Commission has no assurance other than petitioner's word.
Mr. Kane referred to Albe Munson's recommendation dated February 14, 1957 and
asked Mr. Kropf whether such a stipulation is deemed illegal.
Mr. Kropf thought Commi ssion would have to go along with the word of the petitioner
Commission has made suggestions to petitioner in revising petition.
Mr. Robinson asked Mr. Kropf whether Commission could hold petitioner to use
he has specified. Mr. Kropf stated he thought Commission would have to take
his word for it.
Mr. Walker asked petitioner why he is requesting rezoning now when he has no
intent of building for year or more. Dr. Shulman stated he came upon the
property accidentally and that he was assured by the owner that it could be
used for clinic purposes. Placed large deposit on parcel. After further
investigation found it could not be used fora clinic and that it had to be
rezoned.
Mr. Harha stated if a resolution is made to grant petition suggested that it
be included that Commission is granting petition for the purpose of using
parcel for medical and dental clinic whether it gives Commission protection or
not it should be tried.

Petition No. Z-207 as submitted 137 Albert B. and Della S. Shulmah

to the City Council that in view of Albe Munson's recommendation
dated February 14, 1957 in that Commission should not extend C-2
area without a stipulation a s to the intended use and that since
Commission cannot get such a stipulation without being illegal,
that Petition No. Z-207 be denied.

order that portion of parcel cannot be sold for another type of business.
Mr. Goldman stated if petition is granted for medical and dental clinic,
parcel could not be used for another purpose unless it is so granted by the
Commission.

No one was present objecting to petition as presented.
Mr. Walker asked whether this petition is in line with similar petitions that
have been granted in this area. Mr. Curtner stated he believed that all the
alleys have been closed in this subdivision. Had papers drafted ten years
1312
ago for closing alley but somehow they have been lost. All property owners
were under the impression that alley was closed.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Marsha, seconded by Mr. Kane and unanimously
carried, it was

for the vacating of 20' alley in the Southeast 1/4 of Section

request is in accord with modern planning in that easements
are taking the place of alleys and other alleys in this section
have been vacated, that Petition No. V-18 be granted subject

FURTHER RESOLVED, notice of the above hearing was published in

1957 and notice of which hearing was sent to The Detroit Edison

phone Company, The Consumers Power Company, City Departments,
petitioners and abutting property owners as listed in the Proof
of Service.
The Chairman declared the foregoing resolution adopted.
The secretary read letter dated January 21, 1957 from Michael R. Bagdade,
Bagdade and Portney Builders requesting approval of preliminary plat of Delta
Livonia Park Subdivision located on the Southeast corner of Farmington and
Lyndon (if cut through) Roads in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 22. The sedretary
also read letters dated February 5, 1957 from Calvin Roberts, Chief Livonia
Fire Department; dated February 11, 1957 from Donald Wilson, Chief Inspector;
dated February 8, 1957 from Dallas F. Hay, Police Commissioner and dated
February 6, 1957 from Patrolman Robert A. Van Dyke, Traffic Bureau addressed to
Police Commissioner Hay. Messrs. Michael Bagdade, Martin Myers, 10119 W. Six
Mile Road, Detroit and Raymond Portney were present.
Mr. Harsha stated he agrees with recommendation by Albe Munson, Planning Con-
sultant dated February 14, 1957. Suggested that West line of Lot 18 be moved
in order to give more buildable area to Lot 17. Several lots do not give
dimensions. Lots 109, 110 and 111 appear to be too small.
Mr. Steinhoff suggested swinging West line of Lot 17 towards Lot 16
which would allow less frontage and more rear area on Lot 17.
Mr. Lot z asked where existing house is located in relation to proposed sub-
division. Mr. Bagdade stated existing house is situated on Lot 8.
Mr. Harsha stated existing house should be shown as such or indicated as an
outlot. Asked whether petitioner has an easement through the unsubdivided
land.
Mr. Myers stated they have a verbal agreement. From the topographic survey
it shows that it goes to the Bell Creek to the North which is the natural flow
of the land.
Mr. Harsha stated easements should be shown as mentioned by the Inspection
Department.
Mr. Edward Johnston, Milan, Michigan asked how much is shown platted. Mr. Myers
stated that they are platting entire area.
Mr. Johnston objected to the Commission giving approval as the property is
presently in Court for Foreclosure. Stated '55 taxes have not been paid
and purchasers are two payments behind.
Mr. Kropf stated if Mr. Johnston can show ownership, he might have a valid
reason.
Mr. Johnston stated he did not have his deed with him but that it is still
in his name.
Mr. Robinson asked Mr. Kropf in view of Mr. Johnston's objection whether
Commission should continue with petition. Mr. Kropf sugges#ed hearing from
rest of people. Mr. Johnston should show some evidence of being atax payer
in Livonia.
Mr. Bagdade stated that a search of the records will show that they are the
owners. There was a law suit in which Mr. Johnston attempted to foreclose
on a small technicality. The case was disposed of six months ago in their
favor (Mr. Bagdade).
Mr. Milton Holley, 14821 Farmington Road objected to proposed plat. Proposed
plat adjoins the Bell Drain No. 2 and under the set up they have they are
talking about an open ditch 120' wide. There is no drainage at the present
time and do not think most of the property is on it but on the Blue Drain.
Lyndon Road is a half mile road and was to be cut through.
Mr. Robinson stated petitioner does intend to cut Lyndon Road through.
Mr. Holley stated residents on Brookfield have 120' frontage.
Mr. Harsha stated proposed plat will have drainage if they have the right-of-way.
Mr. Robinson asked whether the drain will be enclosed. Mr. Myers stated it
would within the subdivision.
Mr. Holley stated the Bell Drain No. 2 runs right next to the feed mill.
Mr. Myers stated that the feed mill is on their property and that it will be
moved in order that Lyndon Road will align with the existing Lyndon Road.
Mr. Jack Young, Young & Yogoda Builders, 19144 Schaefer Road, Detroit stated
Lyndon Road is through up to Hubbard Road and the parcel in question is
directly West of the proposed Young & Yagoda Subdivision.
Mr. Walker stated he would like to see size of lots increased - especially in
depth.
1b��JJ
e
Mr. Myers stated the trend is towards more frontage. Ordinance requires
7200 square feet therefore with more than 60' minimum frontage less depth is
acceptable.
Mr. Walker stated in his opinion too many lots are only 102' deep. Mr. Myers
stated these lots are 72' wide.
Mr. Walker stated in this area all lots are larger than those shown on proposed
plat and that for that reason did not think it is a good plat.
Mr. Harsha referred to the Southeast 1/4 of Section 21 where it shows what was
originally planned for that area - 20' business lots on Farmington Road with
40' lots to the rear.
Mr. Steinhoff referred to Lots 97, 134 and 131 which are corner lots and
show only 60' frontage. Mr. Robinson agreed and stated all corner lots should
be increased at least 5t .
Mr. Robinson suggested proposed plat be tabled in order to give petitioner
opportunity to show location of existing buildings within subdivision, proposed
easements, correct undersized lots and to reappropriate some lots which are
out of shape.
Mr. Bagdade stated it will be difficult to change some of the lots without
losing some lots. Some of the lots are very large in area.
Mr. Harsha pointed out to Commission where some lots on Mayfield Street front
Mayfield whereas some side to Mayfield Street.
Mr. Robinson suggested homes be dressed up to appear to front on both streets
to make it more livable.
Mr. Harsha referred to Lot 56 in that house should set in 25' from the side
street which could not be done on a 60' lot.
Upon a motion duly made by Ar. Steinhoff and seconded by kr. Greene, it was
#2-41-57 RESOLVED that, proposed Delta Livonia Park Subdivision located
on the Southeast corner of Farmington and Lyndon 1Loads in the
Southwest 1/4 of Section 22 be tabled in order to afford
petitioner opportunity to make revisions: (1) Show location
of existing buildings within subdivision; (2) Indicate location
of easements; (3) Correct undersized lots and (4) Reappropriate
some lots which are out of shape.
Mr. hobinson asked whether petitioner would expressly waive the 60 day
statuatory period contained in MSA 5.3005 for an unlimited period. Mr. Myers
stated he would.
A roll call vote on Resolution 2-41-57 resulted in the following:
AYES: Greene, Steinhoff, Lotz, Walker, Kane, Harsha, Robinson and

Walker
NAYS: None

The Chairman called the 77th Regular Meeting to order at approzimately 9:30

The secretary read Petition No. Z-118a by L. Meyron Marko, The Michigan Lumber
Company requesting that the zoning classification of Lot 30, Woodland Village
Subdivision located on the Northeast corner of Newburgh and Plymouth Roads in
the Southwest 1/4 of Section 29 be changed from RUFB to C-l. The secretary
also read letters dated November 20, 1956 from Marie W. Clark, City Clerk;
dated February 15, 1957 from L. Meyron Marko; dated November 29, 1956 from
Calvin Roberts, Chief Livonia Fire Department and dated February 6, 1957 from
Rev. E. B. Jones, Riverside Church of God. Mr. J. K. Underwood, Attorney
3205 Cadillac Tower, Detroit was present.
Mr. Robinson informed Mr. Underwood that his request to include all three lots
cannot be considered at this time. Mr. Underwood agreed to consider just Lot
30 as originally petitioned for.
Mr. Underwood stated that at a previous meeting he was requested to contact the
owner of thea3joining property (East of Lot 30) . Parcel is owned by Practical
Home Builders and it was their thought that area might be developed for
residential use.
Mr. Harsha stated parcel is zoned M-l.
Mr. Underwood stated inasmuch as parcel is zoned M-1 could not see how his
request would affect parcel too much. Their intent is tri construct a store
as permitted in the C-1 District regulations.
Mr. Walker stated lot has 156' frontage. Asked whether it would be their plan
to utilize the full width of lot.
Mr. Underwood stated they would use as much as possible for store- allowing
adequate facilities as specified in the Ordinance.
Rev. E. B. Jones, Riverside Church of God stated for the past six years they
have been working to get enough land in order to build the church. Recently
they acquired property giving them 443' on Newburg Road and 178' depth
(close to 2 acres) . Have plans to build on Newburgh Road. Also talked to
Practical Home Builders and was informed that at one time he intended
residential use. Change of zoning as requested might affect his decision.
There is a school being built on Hix Road. The nature of the business would
determine the nuisance to the church. The park entrance is at this section.
Mrs William Snell, 37470 Plymouth 'load objected to business at the corner
since the church is going to build. Did not want anything that would jeopardize
the value of her home or the church. When land was purchased the plans
indicated that the entire Northeast corner be residential.
l01<
C`
Mrs. Dema Gladman, 11800 Newburg stated petitioner knew when they purdhased
property that it was zoned RUFB. Couldn't see why parcel should go business.
3
Mr. Robinson stated he believed that it would be very nice if this would be
developed as residential. Did not believe it will dbvelop as residential
inasmuch as it will be adjourning M-1. Did not: believe Commission would rezone
M-1 parcel to residential. Thought Commission would be depriving the owner
of the property his just right to the use of this property.
Mr. hobinson asked how many homes were located on the East side of Newburgh
Road. Mr. Walker stated from the corner five or six in one group and then
homes are spotty after that.
It was questioned when M-1 parcel was so zoned. The Commission determined that
it was zoned M-1 at the time Zoning Ordinance No. 60 was adopted.
Mr. Walker stated he believed C-1 would create buffer between RUFB and M-1.
Mr. Greene asked what home owner is going to build home knowing there will
be factories behind him.
At approximately 10:01 p.m. William ". Robinson relinquished the Chair to
Vice-Chairman H. Paul Harsha.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. hobinson and seconded by Mr. Miller, it was
RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on
December 18, 1956 on Petition No. Z-118a as submitted by L. Meyron
Marko, The Michigan Lumber Company for a change of zoning in the
Southwest 1/4 of Section 29 from RUFB to C-1, the City Planning
Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition
No. Z-118a be granted because Commission does not believe the lot
in question will ever develop into residential home site.
Mr. Kane stated in his opinion this is spot zoning and no need for commercial
establishment where there are not enough residential homes to give it any
business.
Mr. Greene referred to recommendation by Albe Munson, Planning Consultant
dated December 13, 1956 in which he says more or less the same thing.
Mr. Greene read recommendation dated December 13, 1956 by Albe Munson.
Mr. Harsha called Commission's attention to a very similar situation at Plymouth
and Middlebelt Roads Where there is a subdivision that has been in there a
great many years. On the corner adjoining that is the M-1 property. These
homes are the people's homes but did not know what they are going to do as they
are right up against M-l. Eventually they expect to be taken over by M-l.
Mr. riobinson asked whether Commission then feels it would be better to rezone
this M-1. How is Commission ever going to complete this in the entire area.
this is not a residential section anyore.
