The secretary announced that the next item on the agenda was Application TA25
by Dan Holloway, Holloway Construction Company requesting permission to

Director of Public Works and dated June 17, 1957 from James N. , Jordan, Police
Chief. Mr. Sidney Black, 19745 Appoline, Detroit was present representing the
petitioner.
Mr. Black stated it is their plan to stock pile topsoil on the Southeast corner
of the development. If the topsoil is not removed immediately it means that
when the utility men do their work the topsoil will be mixed into the clay.
After the utility men go in there there is no room for removal of topsoil.
175
1725
Mr. Miller asked when construction is anticipated. Mr. Black stated almost
immediately. The plans are to work on the commercial area first and that
that is the largest of theoperation.
Mr. Black stated that is is the intent to let people in the immediate area
who will have new homes have access to the topsoil. The topsoil will not be
removed until after construction is started and there is a place for the top-
soil.
Mr. Lotz stated residents in immediate area will have access to topsoil for
a price. Mr. Black stated that that is right.
Mr. Joseph Milko, 30921 Wentworth objected to petition as presented. Stated
common sense tells anyone where there is a creek running through the property
the property is low and the property runs to it. The property is 4' below
Five Mile Road now.
Mr. J. Spanich, 30865 Five Mile Road submitted for Commission's inspection
topographic survey by M. J. Knowles, Jr., Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Mr. Howard Majeske, 30961 Puritan stated the lots on the South side of
Rayburn are proposed to be 100' wide and that if petitioner intends to sell
topsoil it is going to cost these residents a lot of money.
Mr. Ralph Frazer, 304/,14 Rayburn was present.
Mr. Black stated that the topsoil would be sold to whoever wanted it.
Mr. Spanich stated survey as submitted by him was made in 1955 and that it
was brought before Commission and Commission considered area too low.
The commission established that basically the two surveys (one submitted by
peti tioner and one submitted by Mr. Spanich) are the same.
Mr. Harsha confirmed that area was presented to Commission before and was
turned down.
Mr. Milko stated he would like to have item postponed.
Mr. John Mueller, Puritan stated at the time proposed plat was approved, the
developer promised that there would be no topsoil removal inasmuch as it was
too low.
The Chair announed that this item would be taken under advisement and that
a decision would be made at a Public Hearing.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Miller seconded by Mr. Kane and unanimously
carried, it was.

The secretary announeed that the first item on the agenda was the proposed
Burton Hollow Estates Subdivis;on located on the Southwest corner of Six Mile
and Farmington Roads in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 16. Messrs. Joseph
Slavik and William F. Nern, Attorney were present.
Mr. Robinson asked if any changes have been made to the proposed subdivision.
Mr. Slavik stated there have been no changes and they do not anticipate any.
Messrs. A. J. Bruckert, J. B. Elliot, Robert Seelye and Wilfred S. Clark
were present representing various civic association in the area.
Mr. Bruckert stated that their comments on the proposed plat as submitted are:
(1) That the lots along Farmington Road be increased to 100'; (2) That the
lots along Six Mile Road be increased to 100'; (3) All lots bordering the
creek be rezoned RU; (4) That the two cul-de-sacs as shown be made into a
hair-pin thereby obtaining adjustment of the lots: (5) That the property on
the ravine be brought sorewhere near the stream bed thereby letting the
property owner gain full value of his area and take the expense of the
maintainence off of the City. The lots along the creek do comply with 15,000
square feet.
Mr. Robinson asked whether associations still wanted lots rezoned to RU inas-
much as they do have 15,000 square feet. Mr. Bruckert stated they do because
of the set back line and other requirements in the RU District regulations.
Stated they withdraw any objections they previously-, had regarding the
service drives.
Mr. Clark stated it is also the thinking of Wayne County that the lots along
the ravine be extended to the center of the creek.
Mr. Seelye suggested that there be an easement along the creek bed for access
for flood control.
Mr. Robert L. Greene arrived at approximately 8:40 p.m.
Mr. Slavik stated he has no objections to bringing lots back to the center of
the ravine except his own personal objections that it willlcreate hardhip on
City.
Mr. Walker asked how close the service drive is to the right-of-way of Farm-
ington Road. Mr. Slavik stated Farmington Road will be 60' from the center
of the road; the access road will be 25' and 5' is allowed for sidewalks.
Mr. Miller asked about location of fences if the lots go to the center of the
creek. Mr. Nern stated that that would be covered by the Ordinance or will
be provided in the private restrictions. It would be their purpose to
restrict fences at a certain point.
Mr. Robinson stated that he believed that the City would like to have this as
petitioner has presented it. City would like to retain control of the stream-
have it availabe in the future if they should like to take control.
Mr. Miller asked petitioner whether or not he is in agreement on the suggested
road change. Mr. Slavik stated he is not.
177
1727
Mr. Miller asked about 1001 lots on both Six Mile and Farmington Roads.
Mr. Slavik stated they find it economically unsound to increase these lots
to 1001.
Mr. Miller asked about rezoning lots along the creek to RU. Mr. Slavik
stated he would rather not answer that.
Mr. Miller stated in his opinion lots along creek should be rezoned to RU.
Mr. Greene suggested a decrease in the size of the lots in the interior of the
subdivision and the 100' lots on the exterior as suggested. Mr. Slavik stated
that suggestion does not appear to be good planning.
Mr. Greene informed Commission that he received telephone call from
Mr. Edw. Sicklesteel, 18111 Mayfield and that his association accepts com-
promise as proposed by petitioner.
Mr. Walker stated that in order to comply with RU along the creek petitioner
would have to eliminate only one lot.
Mr. Miller stated that by going to the center of the stream the petitioner
would not have to lose a lot.
The commission took a poll of those in favor of letting lots go to the center
of the stream rather than to the center of the bank under certain restrictions;
(1) Fences should be stopped at the top of the bank; (2) Easement provided
for the City to get into creek bed.
Those in favor of letting lots go to center of stream - Messrs. Greene, Lotz
Kane, Walker and Miller
Those not in favor of letting lots go to center of stream - Messrs. Okerstrom
Harsha and Robinson
Mr. Kane asked Lieutenant Perry what the Fire Department thinks of the courts.
Lieutenant Perry stated that a letter is on file from the Fire Vepartment
dated June 3, 1957 and that the only suggestion they had was regarding
location of fire hydrants. While the Fire Department is not in favor of
cul-de-sacs they do not have an alternate to offer.
Mr. Greene asked Mr. Slavikls objection to eliminating the cul-de-sacs.
Mr. Slavik stated he could hardly answer that until he had discussed it with
his planner.
Mr. Walker asked whether Mr. Slavik is willing to go along with rezoning along
the creek. Mr. Slavik stated 99% is already covered by RU.
Mr. Greene stated Mr. Walker has a good point in that not rezoning area to
RU would set a precedent and that economically it would not hurt petitioner
too much.
1[12 Mr. Slavik stated at the present time they do not want lots rezoned RU.
Mr. Nern stated that his client will give RU in effect but will not go as far
as rezoning.
172$ �.
C"%
Mr. Kane stated to rezone lots along the creek will in effect make it spot
zoning.
Mr. Robinson stated that the adjoining property is being used as RU - the
zoning would be spot zoning but not the use.

#6-177-57 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held
Hay 21, 1957 the City Planning Commission does hereby give

Mr. Slavik stated they wish to amend their proposed plat to include 801 lots
along the creek but that they will not increase lots along Six Mile Road.
Mr. Harsha pointed out that Burton Lane will be a dead end street until such
time as the next plat is recorded. Mr. Slavik stated that there will have to
be a turn around off of the last four lots otherwise there would be no way to
turn around if the other subdivision is not continued.
Mr. Robinson informed the Commission that it agreed to this type of arrange-
ment in another subdivision (Country Homes Subdivision, No.4) and that the
City Council did not approve plat in that form - the City Council wanted the
turn around paved.
