Mr. Mc Cullough stated that the signatures recuired under the
ordinance had been submitted too late for verification.
Mr. Cheng C. Li, 27501 Buckingham Road, stated he owned property
adjoining the proposed dry cleaning plant and did not sign a letter
approving of it because he wasn't sure what type of cle'ninq plant
this would be, and what specific kind of solvent would be used.
Understood that a twenty horsepower boiler would be used which he
felt would constitute a chemical plant rather than a cleaning p1 nt.
Unless this information can be had, felt he could not approve of
this establishment .
Mr. Haftka stated that he had spoken to i•Ir. Li previously and that
the solvent to be used will be noninflammable and is called
perc-ethylene. This particular type of solvent is used in every
synthetic dry cleaning plant in the country. It has to pass the
State laws. There is no odor. The health department has approved
it. Stated further that the boiler will be 10 horsepower and not
20. There was no danger in connection with the boiler as it is
2256
completely automatic with an electronic eye in the event that the
boiler should fail, it would automatically disconnect.
It was determined that this would not be a central plant for other
stores.
Mr. ',Talker stated that he understands that the ordinance hasn't
been complied with in relating to accuiring the necessary
signatures of property owners. Mr. Robinson stated that approval
could be granted subject to petitioner complying with the re-
quirements of the ordinance.

to the proposed plat. Mr. Mc Cullough asked about the Lots 2 and
3 backing up to Lot No. 1. Mr. Robinson stated that most of the
homes on Middlebelt were facing 1'°:iddlebelt rather than the side
2257
streets but felt that the proposed plat was more desirable as is.
Mr. Dixon, 29204 3retton objected to lots being smaller thTn 75' .
Mr. Harsha informed lIr. Dixon that the size of the lots ran from
65' to 74' in width and 125' to 190' in depth; stated also that
this area had been rezoned to R1A which has a minimum lot size
of 7200 Sq. ft. and that these lots fill these requirements .
Mr. Letourneau, 29150 3retton inquired as to how many lots of the
5 would face :3retton. Mr. Harsha stated 4 lots face 3retton with
1 on Middlebelt. Mr. Harsha asked Er. Dixon and Er. Letourneau
if they would like to come up front and examine the proposed plat.
After examining plat, Mr. Dixon, stated he had no objection.
Mr. Anderson arrived at $:30 p.m.
Mr. Peacock stated he felt that Lots 2 and. 3 should be made to face
Middlebelt also. Mr. Harsha stated it was felt by the Plat Committee
that it would make it more undesirable having the houses face
iliddlebelt because of the traffic on Middlebelt and also it would
make Lot 4 have three back yards facing the side of it.

Mr. Mc Cullough announced the next item on the agenda was the pro-
225$
posed Livonia Meadows Subdivision No. 2 located on the South side
of Curtis approximately 450 ft. west of Inkster in the Southeast
1/4 of Section 12 submitted by Ed. Rose & Son, Mr. Jacobson,
representing developer, Ed Rose & Son, was present.
Mr. Mc Cullough submitted letter dated november 11, 1958 from the
Department of Parks & Recreation which designated area in proposed
subdivision as a park site. A letter dated November 7, 195$ was
submitted from the Bureau of Inspection and alsoa letter dated
November 7, 195$ from the Fire Department.
It was determined that there was a school site presently located
adjacent to the proposed subdivision.
There was no one in the audience who wish to speak in favor or
opposed to subdivision.
Mr. Jacobson stated he had anticipated the question of the park site
being designated on the area for the proposed subdivision, At the
time that the Livonia Meadows Subdivision had been platted in 1955
the Planning Commission had attempted to be ofan assistance in
helping the school and park commissions to accuire the sites in this
area. In 1956 not having been able to come to an agreement a plat
was submitted over platting both the school and park site. Later
another plat was submitted for approval, providing for a school and
park site. Mr. Kropf, Ass't. City attorney, was excused to see if
the council, who were holding a meeting in the Council Chambers,
could verify if this park site was still needed. Mr. Jacobson read
an excerpt from a copy of City Planning Commission' s minutes for the
meeting held in Lay, 1956.
Mr. Robinson stated he wished to object to delaying the meeting by
reading minutes that were on record and wish to state this for the
record. Stated further that the City Planning Commission has no
jurisdiction on the matter of purchasing the park site, and that
he was in favor of tabling this item until the Mr. Kropf, Assistant
Attorney returns from the Council Chambers with the Council' s
decision.
Mr. Jacobson asked if he could continue for one more page. Mr.
FIarsha stated he would be allowed to if he would cut it down.
Mr. Jacobson stated that it had been the feeling of the commission
that a three months period of waiting was adequate for a decision
in May, 1956, and that action should be taken now since nothing has
been done in rel^tion to purchasing said site for a park.
Mr. l:.alker inquiredas to the ingress and egress of this proposed
plat because Curtis is not cut through. Mr. Jacobson stated that
some 'arrangement would be made to gravel Curtis i„:ithin the
subdivision lines, so as to come in from Arcola and Cavell Streets.
Mr. J. Salvadore , Councilman, arrived and stated that at present
the city did not have the money to purchase proposed park sites
2259
but that a new proposal was being prepared for an election in
February in order to designate and purchase park sites, including
the proposed park site in the area of the proposed Livonia Meadows
Subdivision , 2.
Mr. Jacobson stated ti-.at they had made every effort to negotiate the
selling of this property for a park site since it had been designated
in 1954 and because of this they hadn't been able to plat for almost
five years.
Mr. Salvadore stated he could only speak for the Council and that
they have indicated that it be designated as a park until February.
Mr. Jacobson objected to this parcel being designated forsn long a
period without action being; taken.
Mr. Robinson stated he objected to this delay, that this discussion
had no relation to the subject on the agenda.
Mr. Anderson stated that the Cul-de-sac was too long under the
requirements of the subdivision regulations.
Mr. Harsha stated this item would be taken under advisement.
Mr. Jacobson stated he wished to ask for the record when this item
will be taken care of since the only objection to the proposed plat
was the designated park site .
Mr. Harsha stated another objection was the long cul-de-sac as
mentioned before which could be a reasonfor denial but that it would
be taken under advisement for discussion at a study meeting.
Mr. Kropf informed ill-. Jacobson that the City Planning Commission
would have to take action within the 60 days.
Mr. Mc Cullough announced the next item on the agenda was the pro-
posed Pearson' s Industrial Subdivision located west of Stark Road

Pearson, Mr. Fred Pearson was present.
Mr. Mc Cullough submitted letters dated November 7, 195$ from the
Fire Department, dated November 10, 195$ from the Bureau of Inspect-
ion.
Mr. Harsha, Chairman of the Plat Committee stated there were several
questions pertaining to the proposed plat. No area plan and no
contours of the property had been submitted; on a dead end street,
the block should not be longer than 400 ft. ; the turn-around should
I: be temporarily moved closer to Gtark Road until industry is in;
a dedication of a lot will be necessary for a future north-south sty
reet to the proposed industrial road; the street should have a name
and also the subdivision; not sufficient room to park since the
side yards of the proposed lots can not be used for parking;
2260
Section 4.06 of Subdivision Regulations states that industrial
blocks should be no less than 2$0 feet in width.
Mr. Harsha also stated that the cuestion arises as to perculation
tests in this area, since the sewers are not available and septic
tanks will have to be used and that perculation tests were not
available at this time; questioned also whether there was sufficient
room on the 60 ft. lot to put in any paved area for parking at the
rear of the plants and would there be sufficient room for drainage
field for the septic tanks.
Mr. Talker stated he concurred with Mr. Harsha andalso stated that
on the Master Pattern this area is designated M-2 and cuestioned
the size of the lots _for M-2 businesses. Statedthat with all the
questions raised toni -ht in reltion to the subdivision, felt that
action could not be taken until plat was changed.
Mr. Mc Cullough asked if it would. be necessary for Mr. Pearson to
dedicate a full 60 ft. for a street inasmuch as the property owner
north of him would use it too. Stated also that the Fire Department
had requested a 60 ft. width street.
Mr. Anderson asked if this subdivision canbe subdivided with a half
street. Mr. Robinson stated it could. The lots are narrow but that
two lots could be purchased. Felt that most important was the dis-
posal of the water, that it was the obligation of the Commission
to see there is adecuate drainage.
Mr. Pearson stated there were two drains on his property for drain-
age, and that when approval is given to plat his engineers would
draw up the plans showing the grade and contours.
Mr. Harsha asked Er. Robinson to read Section 4.06 of the Subdivision
Rules and Regulations.
Mr. Mc Cullough asked ir. Pearson if he would be willing to put the
dead end street closer to Stark Road rather than the full length of
the property as shown on plat.
Mr. Anderson asked why not plat just ten lots for the present time.
Mr. Harsha temporarily left the meeting at 9.00 p.m. Mr. ',Talker
assurqed the Chair as Chairman.
Mr. Walker asked Er. Pearson if he wouldamend his plat for
approval with only ten lots. Mr. Harsha returned at 9;05 p.m.
and continued as Chairman.
Mr. Anderson stated he ',ould prefer that plat comply with ordinance
before action is taken.
Mr. Cullough asked Ir. Pearson if he would be willing to plat
approximately 400 ft. of the proposed plat and then some time later
return for the remainder of the plat. Mr. Pearson stated he would.
2261
Mr. Harsha asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to
speak.
Mr. Beverly Pool, 12837 Stark Road, stated he had no objection to
this plat but felt that there should be sufficient off-street park-
ing.
Mr. Harsha stated that under the ordinance they would have to pro-
vide off-street parking before a building permit would be issued.
Mr. J. Vanzo, 12066 Boston Post Road objected to any waste water
from the proposed industrial subdivision being disposed of through
the county drain. Er. Robinson stated only storm water tould flow
into the drain. Er. Harsha stated they could not run waste into
an open ditch. Mr. Vanzo stated he objected to the drain not being
tiled,that it was very dangerous to Children in the springg when it
becomes filled up. Stated they have been trying for some time to
get the ditch tiled by the County but the County states the City of
Livonia should tile it .
Mr. "alker stated that he felt this item should be taken under advise-
ment because of the many questions unanswered.
Mr. Harsha stated this item would be taken under advisement for
further study.

Resolution ;,`349-5$, the city Planning Commission by un-

to amend Article 17.00 which provides for Council in-
fringement of the planning function for the reason that
the State of Michigan in setting up the laws governing
the planning procedures has taken great care to deter-
mine that insofar as possible such commission shall be
free of political influence, thus enabling the Planning
2267
I: Commission members to make their decisions unin-
fluenced by the pressure of obvious minority groups;
the present Zoning Ordinance governing the Planning
Commission of the City of Livonia follows the in-
tent of the State statute in this regard and while

for desiring that the Council have final decision
in certain planning matters, such reason has not
been conveyed or submitted to the Planning Commis-
sion for its consideration. In view of the reasons

powers of the Planning Commission should not be
curtailed and the proposed amendment to the
ordinance should be reconsidered.

only one outlet; no dimensions showing on tapering lots 171 and
69; Bobrich Street not continued as an access street and also not
lined up with its continuation in other parts of the city;
Lots 221 and 222 side into Lot 220, as Lots 235 and 236; no
contours showing; Lots 29 through 50 end at bottom of Tarabusi
Drain and were to be 80 ft. wide; questioned how far west does
Purlingbrook run (1/2 mile road) ; and the City wants a 40 ft.
easement to have access to drain. Mr. McCullough stated that
this plat can be denied because it does not comply with the
subdivision rules and regulations.
Mr. Harsha informed the subdividers they would be allowed five
minutes to speak. Mr. Spaulding stated that they realize that
the proposed subdivision had only one entrance. The original
plat had had Merriman as another outlet but when the School
Board had acquired the 43 acres needed for the school site, their
purchase had eliminated the outlet from this plat. The only
Solution they had was to designate Stamwich as a 861 Boulevard

the MasterThoroughfare Plan would have to be amended inrelation
to Purlingbrook Avenue which is designated as a 1/2 mile road.

should have 80 ft. frontage as stated at a previous meeting.

the plat. Mr. ?Talker suggested that the nuestion of Purling-
brook be referred to the City Planner to ascertain his feelings
as to whether or not it should remain or be removed from the
Master Thoroughfare Plan.

tirely new plat.

vised, and which are not shown on the present plat.
