On Tuesday, May 21, 1963 the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia held the
150th Regular Meeting end the Public Refiring"at=thd .Livonia City Hall, 33001 Five
Mile Road, Livonia, Michigan. Mr. Milligan, Vice-Chairman, called the 150th Regular
Meeting to order at approximately 8:15 p.m. in the absence of Mr. Charles Walker,
Chairman.
Members present: Robert L. Angevine, Dr. Daniel Allen, Dennis Anderson, Milton
Ingold, Edward Milligan, W. E. Okerstrom and James Cameron
Members absent : ** Charles W. Walker
Mr. David R. McCullough, City Planner, was present along with approximately 25
interested people in the audience.
Mr. McCullough announced the first item on the agenda is Petition Z-584 by Leon
Merriman requesting the rezoning of property located on the
East side of Eckles Road approximately 183 ft. south of
Amrhein Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 30 from C-1 and
M-1 to C-2. Public Hearing 5/7/63 item taken under advise -
ment.
There was a general discussion pertaining to the amount of parking required for
the type of building planned for this property and if there would be enough parking
space if they enlarged the building as they are presently planning. It was stated
that the petitioner had mentioned that the Chevrolet plant's parking lot could be
utilized if more space was needed.
Another question was whether or not the building was large enough to accomodate the
amount of people they had listed on the drawing. It was brought out that the building
would be used at the present time for just an office as a local branch of the main
union. They would be only having small committee meetings dealing with plant business.
**Mr. Walker arrived at 8:20 p.m.
Dr. Allen questioned the amount of parking space? Mr. Milligan stated under the
present ordinance the petitioner complies with the ordinance. Mr. McCullough stated
the petitioner was only going to put up the office building at this time, and then
later the assembly building. He stated this was their reason for submitting a
letter from the plant manager which stated whatever extra parking is needed, they
could use the GM parking area.
Mr. Howard Middlewood, Acting Chief Inspector, stated this parking area is about
300 ft. away from their building.
Mr. Ingold felt the information given by the petitioner does not conform with t he
plan submitted.
Mr. Milligan stated that the proposed new zoning ordinance will increase the parking
requirements for an assembly building. Under the new ordinance they could not comply
with the requirements.
Dr. Allen felt that although he did not know the amount of membership, they would
riot have to have too many people in the assembly building to create a parking problem
if it turned out that they couldn't use the GM parking lot.
3740
11 Mr. Merriman, representing the owners stated the total membership is 17,000 at the
4 plant. Re said that the owner of the property is willing to set up a lease with
option to buy additional property if it is found necessary.
Mr. Milligan asked how did the union feel about this? Mr. Merriman answered they
would agree if it was necessary.
Mr. Okerstrom felt it might be wise to table this item until the petitioner had a
change to acquire more property. Mr. Milligan stated if there was enough doubt
in the minds of the commissioners it might be a good idea to take this under advise-
ment.
Mr. Cameron asked if the Traffic Commission had submitted anything? Mr. McCullough
answered they had not as yet.
Mr. Angevine stated the request was for rezoning, it has nothing to do with the use.
Mr. Milligan stated this was true but he would be reluctant to have commercial
zoning in this particular location.
Mr. Angevine stated it is only a question of rezoning, not how much parking area
will be available.
Mr. Milligan stated he agreed technically with Mr. Angevine that the matter before
11111 the Commission is for a change of zoning. The only reason for taking it under
advisement that he could see is that it might be wise to discuss this a little further
with the petitioner. He stated he personally felt a union hall located in close
i proximity to a plant is a good thing but he did not like the commercial use in this
area.
Mr. Okerstrom asked if a study meeting couldn't be held on the matter before any
action is taken?
Mr. Angevine stated he could not see any objection to the commercial zone in the
area. Only a small portion of the M-1 was being changed.
After a further brief discussion it was decided to take this item under further
advisement.
Mr. Charles Walker presided as Chairman for the remainder of the meeting.
Mr. McCullough announced the next item on the agenda was Petition Z-585 by Beatrice

he has been trying to purchase the property immediately north of the stub street but
the owner was reluctant to tell.

developer of the Joy Ann Subdivision located in the Southeast

division.
Mr. McCullough explained that when the subdivision had been given approval 'the City
Planning Ccmmissidn bad requested that-this lot not be built upon so that it could
}
be used for an area for emergency vehicles to turn around on.
I Mr. Walker asked if this had been checked out with the Fire Department and the Police
Department? Mr. McCullough stated he did not think Mr. Lederman had contacted the
two departments.
Br. Allen asked what has changed since that time so that this lot is not necessary
for this purpose?
3744
iAfter a brief discussion, Mr. Walker declared that this item would be taken under
advisement until Mr. Lederman can contact the Fire and Police Departments for their
recommendations.
Mr. McCullough announced the next item on the agenda is a request from John Migut
for a 60 day extension on the approvals granted for topsoil removal in TA-88 and TA-89.
The property involved is located on the Northwest corner of Seven Mile and Farmington
Roads in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 4. Mr. Migut has filed new applications, namely
TA-95 and TA-96 but due to several reasons, he will not be able to be on a Planning
Commission meeting until late June or early July. His permits on the previous
applications have expired and because of the season he is requesting a 60 day extension
until approval can be granted under TA-95 and TA-96.
Mr. Milligan questioned if a motion to give the 60 day extension would be legal?
The question was asked if the bond on the other applications for the removal of the
topsoil was still in effect? It was determined that the bond had not been released.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Okerstrom, supported by Mr. Cameron, it was
#5- -63 RESOLVED that, the City Planning Commission does hereby grant a 60
day extension on TA-88 and TA-89 originally granted on May 15, 1962
for removal of topsoil from property located north of Seven Mile
Road and west of Farmington Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 4,
1[ until such time that a public hearing can be held on two new appli-
cations, TA-95 and TA-96, subject, however, to all conditions
specified in the original approvals.
Mr. Ingold asked if there had been any objections from surrounding property owners?
Mr. Walker answered that at the previous public hearing, in order to protect the
surrounding property owners in the area the Planning Commission specified that the
petitioner would have to stay a certain distance from the surrounding properties and
that this is being followed through by the Engineering Department.
Mr. Milligan stated he was in sympathy with Mr. Migut's problem but again he had to
ask if the motion would be legal?
Mr. Angevine stated he couldn't vote on anything without having examined the area
himself.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Cameron, Anderson, Okerstrom and Walker
NAYS: Allen, Ingold, Milligan and Angevine
Mr. Walker declared the motion did not carry, . therefore the resolution is not adopted.
Mr. Okerstrom stated it might be wise to table it and have the commission examine the
area, after which they. might have a different viewpoint on it.
1140 Mr. Walker stated if it is held up for a week it would hold the petitioner up too.
Mr. Ingold questioned the method of presenting this item. He felt that the Planning
Commission should have ample time to examine these items.
Mr. Milligan asked if another motion was in order? Mr. Walker answered it .was
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Milligan, supported by Mr. Angevine, it was
#5- -63 RESOLVED that, the City Planning Commission does hereby deny
3745
Mr. Migut':s_ request for an extension on his original approvals
for removing topsoil from property located in the Southeast 1/4
of Section 4 under TA-88 and TA-89.
Mr. Ingold stated he was basically in accordance with Mr. Milligan's motion with
one exception. He did not want to force any hardship upon the petitioner because
the Planning Commission was not able to schedule a public hearing for his petitions.
Mr. Milligan stated his reason for making a motion to deny the request was because
of Mr. Ingold's previous remarks. He felt that this matter should go through the
regular procedure. He also would like to hear from the adjacent property owners
to find if the removal has been satisfactory to them. He continued by stating he
would like the benefit of a public hearing on the matter and he did not feel it was
the Commission's fault that there will be a shut down period on this operation.
Mr. Anderson asked if he was right in assuming that the motion for derlal is not
directed against the petitioner but mainly because this was not the regular procedure?
Mr. Milligan answered that was so. His motion is to deny the temporary permit
issuance but by no means should it be interpreted as action against the public hearing
and the normal procedure that the petitioner is asked to go through.
1110 Mr. Anderson asked if there wasn't suppose to be legal counsel at the meetings? He
felt this may be a hardship on the applicant.
Mr. Milligan stated he concurred with Mr. Anderson.
Mr. Walker stated that the Assistant City Attorney was present in his office at
this time - he would like to suggest that this motion be taken under advisement
until a discussion can be held with him and ask a legal opinion on this question?
The Commission was in accord with Mr. Walker's suggestion. He called a recess at
9:20 p.m.
* * * * * * * *
Mr. Walker called the Special Meeting back to order at 9:35 p.m. with all those
present now who were present at the time recess was called.
Mr. Milligan. stated he would like to withdraw his motion to deny a temporary
permit based on the City Attorney's advice.
Mr. Angevine stated he would withdraw his support for the same reason.
Mr. Walker stated the records will show that the motion has been withdrawn.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Okeratrom, supported by Mr. Cameron, it was
#5-90-63 RESOLVED that, the City Planning Commission does hereby grant a
60 day extension on the original approvalsof TA-88 and TA-89
for removal of topsoil from property located north of Seven Mile
Road and West of Farmington Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section
4, based on the legal opinion of the City Attorney and sub,ect
to a public hearing being held on the new applications, TA-95 and
TA-96 on Tuesday, July 2, 1963 and further, that said extension
is granted subject to all conditions specified in the original
approvals granted on May 15, 1962 and that the bonds on TA-88 and
T4-89 shall be maintained.

permission to remove a stockpile of topsoil from property
located on the northeast corner of Five Mile Road and
Newburgh Road on "Outlot A" of the Country Homes Estates
Subdivision in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 17.
Mr. Howard Middlewood, Acting Chief Inspector, stated that the petitioner has been
removing topsoil from the stockpile. He has been stopped and was informed he would
have to file an application requesting approval to remove the stockpile. Mr.
4 Middlewood stated he has been given a temporary permit until this is approved by
the Commission, said permit being approved by the City Attorney and also that the
existing bond is still in effect. Mr. Middlewood stated also that the extension
or temporary permit was based on the original approval to remove the topsoil.
Mr. Okerstrom asked when was this topsoil stockpiled? Mr. Middlewood answered about
two years ago.
Mr. Milligan stated that it appeared to him that the grade behind the stockpile is
3 ft. lower than what it is on Newburgh.
Mr. Walker stated that the Planning Commission will have to maintain a large enough
bond on this application for approval to protect the City and not release any bond
until the property is left in a proper condition with the correct grades.
Mr. McCullough stated he would ask the Engineering Department to reexamine the
area before the next meeting.
Mr. Ingold asked when did the original approval elapse?
Mr. Middlewood answered that the original permit was issed to a different operator
and Mr. Slatkin was unaware that the original permit had expired and that another
public hearing would have to be held.
Mr. Milligan was concerned about the difference of 3 ft. in the grade behind the
_ stockpile and the property by Newburgh Road. Since the operations have changed
Shands - where will the dirt come from to level off the grade? The stockpile .it
seems has been sold to another party. Where will the dirt come from to level off the
grade?
' Mr. Walker asked the secretary to determine if the bond on the original approval is
still in effect.
Mr. Walker asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak?
