Mr. Okerstrom made the following motion:
RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on
January 21, 1964 on Petition Z-627 as submitted by Ken Warren, Acres
Development, for a change of zoning in the Northeast 1/4 of Section
33 from RUFB to R-3, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend
to the City Council that Petition Z-627 be granted as it is an ideal
location for this zoning classification and it is a transition use, and
FURTHER RESOLVED, notice of the above hearing was published in the
, official newspaper, The Livonia-City Post under date of January 1,
1964 and notice of which hearing was sent to the Detroit Edison
Company, The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company, Michigan Bell Tele-
phone Company, The Consumers Power Company, City Department and
petitioner as listed in the Proof of Service.
The Chairman declared the foregoing motion failed for lack of support.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Heusted and seconded by Dr. Allen, it was
#2-21-64 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on
January 21, 1964 on Petition Z-627 as submitted by Ken Warren,
Acres Development, for a change of zoning in the Northeast 1/4 of
Section 33 from RUFB to R-3, the City Planning Commission does
hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition Z-627 be denied
for the following reasons:
1 r een_;gig has already been created to beef-up
purcha _r , Viewer near Shelden Shop Center thus no overriding
public interest ie involved, and
(3) This would not serve as a transition use in an orderly
progreeeLee of uces, and
(4) An Pleb l r::•s of apartment zoning in one geographical area
would l'.kely result if this were approved which violates
good :Lr _rg policy. There is sufficient zoning to
actor: oc;,.-,,, the erection of 250 units on either side of
t'arm_:e?;ter South of Plymouth, and
(5) It is thi _ __errliug Commissions belief that if land will not
sell th .'b leeice is the item which needs adjustment and not
zoning a d th t is something for the willing buyer and seller
to cent-fel, end

Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Milligan, seconded by Dr. Allen, and
unanimously adopted, it was
#2-27-64 INASMUCH as David R. McCullough, City Planner of the City of
Livonia, has been offered and has accepted employment else-
where, and
INASMUCH as his efforts on behalf of the citizens of the City
of Livonia have played an important part in the enactment of
planning programs designed to enhance both the beauty and the
value of our city, and
INASMUCH as Dave has very definitely won the respect and
friendship of the nine members of the City Planning Commission,
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that, the members of the Planning
Commission of the City of Livonia extend their very best
wishes to Dave in this new venture and express their hope that
his new career will result in a satisfying and rewarding life
in the years to come.
Mr. Angevine declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is
adopted.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Milligan, supported by Dr. Allen, and
unanimously adopted the City Planning Commission does hereby adjourn the 159th
Regular Meeting held on Tuesday, February 18, 1964 at approximately 8:45 p.m.
Mr. Edward G. Milligan, Chairman called the Public Hearing to order at approxi-
mately 9:30 p.m. with approximately 50 interested rersons in the audience.
Mr. McCullough announced the first item to be heard is Petition M-3r
by Henry Koloff requesting permission to erect apartments on
property located on the South side of Five Mile Road between
Fairlane and Yale in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 21.
Mr. Koloff was present.
Mr. McCullough reminded those present that property in question was zoned
seven or eight years ago to apartment classification. Five or Six weeks ago
the City Planning Commission sent a recommendation to the City Council
suggesting removal of all apartment zoning along Five Mile Road. As of this
date, the City Council has not acted upon this recommendation.
Mr. Koloff stated there would be 36 units included on both sides of Gary Lane
and that the greater amount of land will be landscaped. The parking will be in
the back and East and West boundaries. Will create a much nicer opening to the
subdivision than having two houses or vacant land as it is now. Apartments
4
4094
will be colonial type structure and will sit back a ways from Five Mile Road.
There will be a nice gate at the beginning of the subdivision. The apartments
are designed for adults rather than children. There will be 12 - 2 bedroom
units and 24 - 1 bedroom units. Planning for parking for 40 cars.
Mr. Milligan questioned parking on Parcel A in the area of the Patter Drain.
Mr. Koloff stated he did not intend to erect this building until drain is
enclosed. Talked to City Attorney and Mr. William J. Strasser, Chief City
Engineer, and there was no objection at the time. The City has requested strip
for the drain.
Mr. McCullough stated that drain is to be covered in the future. Mr. Rodney
Kropf, Attorney, 32510 Plymouth Road, stated this is a County project that is
under advisement.
Dr. Allen asked how request falls in with Code. Mr. McCullough stated that it
meets present code but does not know as if it meets future code.
Mr. Milton Firestone, Assist. City Attorney, stated that the Patter Drain runs
through area. If any repair work had to be done to drain and drive was dug up
want it so that City or County would not be responsible for surfacing work as
far as pavement is concerned. Mr. Koloff stated he is willing to give a letter
to this effect that he would be responsible and not the City or County.
Dr. Allen asked what would happen ten years from now if and when apartments are
sold. Mr. Firestone stated it would be best to have it by way of agreement more
than by letter. Suggested a Covenant that runs with the land.
Mr. Koloff stated that if it is a dedicated easement, legally the owner
couldn't do anything about it.
Mr. Milligan suggested a Covenant prior to any action by the City Planning
Commission.
Mr. Koloff asked about considering request for Parcel B and building that would
not be on easement. Approval of this would not hold him up.
Mr. Stanley Moore, 14601 Gary Lane, objected to request. Referred to Zoning
Ordinance, No. 60, Section 17.05. Felt apartments would develue 150
permanent residential homes and land. Allowing erection of this apartment is
not in conformance with the Master Plan of the City of Livonia. There is a
long, blind, steep hill at section of Gary Lane and Five Mile Road which is
already a traffic hazard. The school busses use Gary Lane. Gary Lane is the
only entrance to three streets in the subdivision. Petitioner has allowed only
1110 two cars per apartment. Most families own two cars therefore if there are
guests there will be additional parking on the residential street rather than
Five Mile Road. There will be an incinerator for rubbish which will create
odor and litter. Presented petition with 171 interested persons objecting
to request.
Mr. Raymond C. Kapell, 15003 Ellen Drive, asked what Commission's position is
in regards to erection of apartments. Asked whether there is a plan.
Mr. Milligan stated Commission has spent considerable time on just such a
question. The City Planner has just completed preliminary study of this
t
4095
problem. The Commission is on record approving new Zoning Ordinance and Map
which has now gone to the City Council as to what areas should remain R-3 and
what areas should be rezoned.
Mr. Robert H. Mathers, 15000 Gary Lane, stated he was concerned about the tax
problem. Most of the existing homes are from three to five years old at which
time they were assessed at that market value level. This market value level
has decreased. With erection of apartments, value will decrease again however
assessed valuation remains the same. What if request is approved and then City
Council approves new Zoning Ordinance and Map which shows a different zoning.
Mr. Firestone stated it would depend upon how the City Council adopted the
Zoning Ordinance and Map and whether they would include or exclude changes made
by the Planning Commission etc. after City Council received recommended Zoning
Ordinance and Map. If the City Council decides not to enact exceptions than
petitioner would have problem of vested rights. If City Council exempts or
includes this would determine fate of this petitioner. Vesting of rights also
affecting petitioner.
I[
Mr. Thomas Allen, 14966 Gary Lane, stated he just recently selected site
because it wasn9t near apartments. Objects to petition.
1
Mr. Milligan declared Petition M-307 would be taken under advisement.
Mr. McCullough stated the next item onthe agenda is Petition M-312 by
William Ponder, Attorney for Frank J. Winton, requesting
permission to erect multiple dwellings and apartments on
property located on the East side of Levan Road between
Schoolcraft and Meadowbrook in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 20.
Messrs. Ponder and Winton were present.
Mr. Ponder stated that to the South of Area in question is zoned C-2 and on the
West there is the college. The property itself has been zoned R-3 for some time
Propose 84 units which is maximum allowed by Zoning Ordinance. However, it is
clients intent to submit another plan which would allow more units than permitted
by Zoning Ordinance but which architects feel is more desirable. Architects
feel revise plan is more attractive and it does not distrub problem of yard
space and parking requirements. If Commission grants request for apartments,
it is intent to appear before Zoning Board of Appeals to obtain approval of
revised plan with additional units.
Dr. Allen asked how many additional units are planned in the revised plan.
Mr. Winton stated there will be a total of 98 to 100 units. Problem is to
hide as much parking as possible. This may mean one, two or three more build-
ings.
1[: Mr. Milligan asked whether purpose in adding 16 more units is to hide parking
from other people. Mr. Ponder stated it is felt that plan is better than
original one. If client has to abide by zoning ordinance, he will. However,
feel revised plan is a better one that fits needs of property and better for
the community provided client can work it out with Zoning Board of Appeals.

Mrs. Stanley Newman, 35908 Middleboro, stated there is a traffic problem and
that there is no light at either Five Mile or Schoolcraft Roads. The property
values will be reduced with erection of apartments. Present homes are mostly
colonial whereas petitioner plans a building of another design.
Mr. Walter Juros, 36039 Scone, stated he knew request was in the offering when
he purchased his home. Adjacent residential development has 160 proposed homes.
To put in more apartments to hide cal-6-'will not help.
Mrs. Newman stated that the children use a school bus to get to Hull School.
Additional families will over-tax this school. Mr. Winton stated he did not
intend to rent to families with children.
Dr. Allen asked Mrs. Newman whether she knew land was zoned R-3 when she
purchased her home. Mrs. Newman stated she did not.
Dr. Allen asked Mr. Juros how he found out about apartment plans. Mr. Juros
stated that the builder told him.
CO Mr. Robert N. Popoff, 36124 Scone, asked proposed zoning for area on new Zoning
Map recently referred to City Council. Mr. McCullough stated area will remain
R-3.
Mr. Fopoff questioned which side of Schoolcraft Road proposed expressway will
be on. Stated he did not know about petitioner's proposal when he purchased
his home. Mr. Milligan stated the proposed expressway will use the North side
of Schoolcraft Road. However, State does not have a firm location as yet.
Mr. Ponder assured interested property owners that proposal would not be
detrimental to them in any way. Reminded them that theproperty to the South
is presently zoned C-2. Stated there would be a greenbelt.
Mr. Winton stated that the landscaping will be comparable or superior to
residential homes.
Mr. Milligan declared Petition M-312 would be taken under advisement.
Mr. McCullough stated the next item on the agenda is Petition by the City
Planning Commission to determine whether or not to adopt the new

a car wash and sell gasoline on said premises on property
located on the Northwest corner of Parkville and Seven Mile

and Rodney Kropf, Attorney, were present.
Mr. McCullough asked whether petitioner was going to purchase property for
parking as shown. Mr. McCausland stated he was.
Mr. McCullough asked whether there was any chance of obtaining more property
along Seven Mile Road in order to get access drive from Parkdale. Mr. Kropf
stated they could try.
Mr. Mervin M. Bresoff, 13420 Dartmouth, Oak Park 37, objected to petition.
Stated Seven Mile Road has a traffic problem and with shopping center it will
be worst. Stated he has beenvwrking with the property owner immediately to
the West and arrangements are hanging in the fire based on whether or not car
wash is approved. Propose to have nusing project with 100 beds on site.
Referred to Zoning Ordinance No. 60, Section 11.02j. Stated according to this,
written consent of adjacent property owner must be obtained and he has not
given his consent. Asked City Attorney to rule on this question.
Mr. Milligan assured Mr. Bresoff that Commission would get opinion from the
City Attorney for Study Meeting to be held March 3 clarifying who is
property owner and whether the letter of the law has been met.
1[0
Mr. Kropf stated the adjoining property owner is Mr. Frank J. Kane and
he has consented in writing.

and 418.
4098
Mr. Milligan declared Petition M-302 would be taken under advisement.

temporary permit for sign and now want a permanent permit.
Mr. Robert Lilly, 33650 Bloomfield Dr., representing Burton Hollow Civic Assoc.,
asked whether sign company has been paid for sign. Mr. Guth stated it had.
Mr. Tomroy, 34162 Burton Lane, stated that he assumed that once a sign is
erected that it has already received approval of the City.
Mr. Lilly stated the Civic Association objects to the word "discount" in sign
and would like to see this word removed from sign.
Mr. Okerstrom stated that assuming if sign met requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance and the word "discount" was on it that there would be no objection -
there could be no objection to it.
