held the 189th Special Meeting and a Public Hearing at the Livonia Civil Defense
Office, located in the Police Building, 15050 Farmington Road, Livonia, Michigan.

Mr. Don Hull, Planning Director, and Mrs. Doris Bachman, Traffic Commission, were

Mrs. Miquelon announced the first item on the agenda is Petition V-80 by
Gordon and Florence Belt, requesting the vacation of two feet of a
twelve foot wide easement of Lot 19 of O'Connor & Porter Subdivision,
located on the west side of Doris Avenue between Curtis Avenue and
Seven Mile Road in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 11.
I: Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Whitehead, seconded by Mrs. Miquelon and
unanimously adopted, it was
#9-165-64 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on
August 25, 1964, on Petition No. V-80 as submitted by Gordon and
Florence Belt for the vacation of two feet of a twelve foot wide
easement in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 11, the City Planning
Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that
Petition No. V-80 be granted subject to vacating two feet of the
existing twelve foot wide easement only within the limits of the
house encroachmeht and not for the full length of Lot 19,
O'Connor. & Porter's Subdivision according to the following
amended description:
The South 2 feet of the West 27 feet of the East 90 feet of
a 12 foot wide easement, said easement being more particularly
described as the North 12 feet of Lot 19, O'Connor & Porter's
Subdivision, as recorded in Liber 66, Page 79, Wayne County
Records, said subdivision being a part of the West 1/2 of the
N.E. 1/4 of Section 11, T. 1 S., R. 9 E., Livonia Township
(now City of Livonia), Wayne County, Michigan.
for the following reasons:
I[: (1 ) It is quite apparent that there is no conflict with the
existing utilities within the easement. Since there is
an existing 12" sanitary sewer within this 12 foot
easement, vacating the two feet of the existing 12 foot
wide easement only within the limits of the house
encroachment and not for the full length of the lot will
4272
allow the City to retain rights to a maximum amount
of easement area for future maintenance, and
(2) The Engineering Department through. Mr. William J.
Strasser, Chief City Engineer, is in agreement with
granting this approval, and
(3) It is apparent that encroachment on the easement was
an honest mistake and was not an attempt to make use
of additional land, and

Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Whitehead, supported by Mr. Heusted and unanimously

Meeting held on Tlesday, September 1, 1964 at approximately 8:20 p.m.
Mr. Charles W. Walker, Chairman, called the Public Hearing to order at approximately
9:30 p.m. with approximately 60 interested persons in the audience in addition to
Mr. Daniel R. Andrew, Coordinator, Industrial Development Commission.
Mrs. Miquelon announced the first item on the agenda is Petition Z-650 by
Mr. Jacob Menuck, President, Curtis Building Company, requesting
the rezoning of property located on the Southeast corner of Hubbard
Road and Six Mile Road in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 15, from
RUFB to RLA. Messrs. Jacob Menuck and David A. Goldman, Attorney,
were present.
IL: Mr. Walker read from Zoning Ordinance No. 60 for the benefit of those present
what RUF and RLA meant insofar as lot size in concerned.
Mr. Goldman stated the Curtis Building Company has built over 300 homes within the
City of Livonia thus far in the Lyndon Meadows Subdivision and the Newburgh
4275
Heights Subdivision. The proposed subdivision plat, if the zoning classification
is changed as requested, shows 176 lots on 60 acres with an average of 10,000
square feet even though Zoning Ordinance No. 60 would allow 9,600 square feet
(2.9 lots per acre). His client proposes to retain as many trees as possible and
all utilities will be placed underground. There will be a service drive on Six
Mile Road. Minimum cost per home will be $25,000. Referred to Burton Hollow
Subdivision located on the Northeast corner of Six Mile Road and Farmington Road
as having been rezoned from RUFB in February, 1963. There are 110 lots in this
subdivision with 1/3 being 80' x 120'. Also referred to the Wood Creek Farms
Subdivision which has 96 lots and was rezoned from RUFB in October, 1962. One
third of these 96 lots are 80' x 1204. Client has what he believes to be a
development of the highest type. The success of the two aforementioned subdivisions
indicates a need and a demand for the proposed subdivision. Felt client would
have a quality development. There will be an exit on Grove; however, client is
prepared to redesign subdivision to exclude this exit and have a cul-de-sac
instead if the commission wishes. This exit was suggested to the developer by
someone within the City Government.
Mr. W. W. Edgar, 31515 Grove, spoke for the residents of Grove Drive. Stated
they are pleased with development except for two exceptions. Referred to ten lots
shown on the cul-de-sacs in the proposed subdivision having front lot lines of less
than 604 (two 47' and three 524). The building line is the required width; however
the front lot lire should also be the required width. The residents are more
concerned with the exit onto Grove Drive. This road is 99.304 for approximately
IL: 2004 then it is reduced to 60' . Would rather see a cul-de-sac than exit as shown.
Mr. Paul H. Rieker, 31545 Grove, questioned why developer couldn't build on 1/2
acre lots instead of requesting zoning classification change. Mr. Goldman stated
that with the area costing $6,000 per acre, his client could not build
subdivision with 1/2 acre lots.
Mr. Miles MacShara, 17969 Mayfield, representing Green Brier Association, stated
he is happy the way the area is now. How do the residents gain by additional 176
lots as pr .osed. With 176 lots there is not much left for trees. In the two
cited subdivisions, there are only seven trees per lot on the average.
Mrs. Donna Smith; 32599 Greenland Court, objected to proposed change of zoning.
Mr. R. G. Siffermann, 31694 Curtis, representing Merriman-Six Oivic Association,
submitted petition of residents in area objecting to change of zoning. Thought
it about time petitioner stopped referring to smaller size lots in area and
referred to what is in area in larger lot size.
Mr. Ed Smitn, 1)2599 Greenland Court, stated he purchased his home in area just
because area is zoned RUFB. Had he known this development would be proposed
.would have ' '-:-chased elsewhere. Thought commission should hold to 1/2 acre lots.
Mr. Ted Teslik, 16333 Hubbard Road, asked what mayor had to say regarding proposed
change of zoning.
Mrs. James Burkett, 31643 Six Mile Road, objected to change of zoning.
Mrs. Barbara Teslik, 16333 Hubbard Road, also objected to change of zoning.
4276
Mr. MacShara stated he is back to back with one of the cited subdivisions ($urton
I[: Hollow Subdivision) and that now to has three back neighbors
A show of hands of those present objecting to change of zoning resulted in a count
of 50-60 people.
Mr. Goldman referred to recent court case in the City of Troy and as he under-
stands the decision a city has no right to use zoning to control population.
Client has prepared a quality development.
Mayor Harvey W. Moelke, as a resident only and not as mayor of the City of
Livonia, stated this is the third time this parcel has appeared before the City
Planning Commission for smaller size lots. Petitioner is well aware of the fact
that others have tried to have zoning classification changed. The Burton Hollow
Subdivision referred to by Mr. Goldman is located 1/4 mile West and not directly
north of area in question. Also between the Burton Hollow Subdit sion and area
directly North of Parcel in question, area is developed with lots in excess of 1/2
acre. The Wood Creek Farms Subdivision is also 1/2 mile West of subject property.
It was in fact at one time zoned R1 but developer platted 80' lots. The larger
lots that the developer put in, after protest of the residents, are now selling
up to $12,500 each. Referred to improvements on an 80' lot vs. improvements on
1/2 acre lot costing $1,200 more per lot on a 1/2 acre lot than an 804 lot. The
pattern of this area has already been established and this requested change of
zoning is spot zoning. Unless the petitioner can say that this request is of
benefit to the community, this change of zoning would be illegal. Wished
petitioner would look at over-all economic market and provide the people who want
IL: to live on large lots in this community with that product. The market for 804
lots is in over-supply. Urged commission to reject request for zoning
classification change.
Mr. Goldman questioned whether; when the prior petitions for change of zoning were
submitted to commission, they were requesting 604 lots rather than 80' lots.
Mr. Walker stated he was not certain and that commission would check into this item
Mrs. Roy Puckett, 31642 Grove Drive, asked whether there wasn't a place within the
City of Livonia where petitioner could build without having to request change of
zoning.
Mrs. William Simon, 17300 Merriman, referred to homes on small lots she knew of
that in her opinion would look much better if located on a large lot.
Mr. Roland Kenny, 16425 Hubbard Road, asked whether residents would be notified
when item would again be presented to commission. Mr. Walker stated that
residents who are represented by a group representative would be notified by mail
date of meeting when Commission will make its decision.
Mayor Moelke stated that he spoke to Judge Otis Smith (re. Troy Case) and that
Judge Smith informed him that the decision in this case was not to be considered
a precedent and that each zoning case would be decided on its own merits. The
City of Troy does not provide for smaller lots in their community whereas the
City of Livonia does provide for small as well as large lot areas. Referred to a
I[: Connecticut Case wherein decision stated that zoning is not for the purpose to
enrich the subdivider.
Mr. Walker declared Petition Z-650 would be taken under advisement.
4277
I[: Mrs. Miquelon announced the next item on the agenda is Petition V-79a by
Stanley H. Kline and Ruby Kline, requesting the vacating of the
west 4 feet of a 20 foot wide easement of Lot 70, Livrance Estates
Subdivision located north of Greenland Avenue approximately 1270
feet west of Middlebelt Road and approximately 1100 feet east of
Henry Ruff Road in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 14. Mr. Kline was
present.
Mr. Kline stated that when he planned his home he thought side yard requirement
was 54. Planned home and then found out later thab the side yard requirement is
101. He obtained in writing William J. Strasser, Chief City Engineer's
permission to build garage over 34 of easement; however, when he applied for the
mortgage it was found garage is over 41 of easement.
Mr. Cameron asked for letter written by Mr. Strasser giving petitioner permission
to build garage over 3' easement. Mr. Kline stated he would submit a copy to
commission. Mr. Walker read letter dated August 24, 1964 from William J. Strasser,
Chief City Engineer. This letter is not the one referred to by Mr. Kline.
Mr. Milton Firestone, Assistant City Attorney arrived at meeting at approximately
10:50 p.m.
Mr. Walker declared Petition V-79a would be taken under advisement.
Mrs. Miquelon announced the next item on the agenda is Petition V--81 by
Stephan F. Slavik, President of Rouge Building Company,
requesting the vacating of a portion of Wood Drive, west of
Riverside Drive in the Burton Hollow Estates Subdilasion #3.
This portion of Wood Drive is located just west of Riverside
Drive, approximately 330 feet South of Six Mile Road, in the
Burton Hollow Subdivision No. 3 in the Northwest 1/4 of Section
16. Mr. David Meinzinger was present representing the petitioner.
Mr. Walker read letters dated August 10, 1964 from William Strasser, Chief City
Engineer; dated August 24, 1964 from Cecil H. Alford, Assistant Superintendent,
Livonia Public Schools, and dated June 30, 1964 from Stephan F. Slavik, Rouge
Building Company.
Mr. Meinzinger stated the reason for request and timing of request is that in the
foreseeable future Rouge Building Company does not see that Wood Drive will be
continued west because of the presence of a large size natural open water course
located along the west perimeter of the Golfview Estates Subdivision. The
extension of Wood Drive would require the construction of an expensive bridge
across this natural water course. To take care of the school situation, willing to
dedicate a 10' easement for foot crossing for children which will be only a
temporary thing. The reason for requesting this at this time is that Rouge Build-
ing Company want to have Wood Drive vacated now before homes on either side of
proposed road (lots497 and 498)are constructed and sold. Once the homes are
constructed and sold, the vacated road would be divided between the two lots.
Mr. Cecil H. Alford, Assistant Superintendent of Livonia Public Schools, stated
this problem of access to school sites in the N rthwest 1/4 of Section 16 and in
Section 17 started back in 1956 and 1957 and 1938. Referred to letter dated
April 16, 1959 fro-. William J. Strasser, Chief City Engineer. Mr. Slavik has said
he would be willing to talk and discuss subject of foot bridges across revine from
his subdivision. Livonia Public Schools rad 63 busses on the road last year and
•
4278
IE will have 73 busses this year. Interested in some sort of way to get to the
schools in area. Having an easement would not solve the whole problem uhless
there is also an agreement regarding the bridge to get across the revine.
Mr. Wal ker questioned Mr. Meinzinger regarding the bridge across the revine.
Mr. Meinzinger stated that if Rouge Building Company provided the land for the
easement he thought the user should provide the bridge. Rouge Building Company
is willing to provide the 104 easement but Frank J. Volk and Adolph Rovsek
(Parcel El - Golfview Meadows Subdivision) is providing the population and should
provide the bridge.
Mr. Walker asked Mr. Meinzinger about contam Messrs. Volk and Rovsek and
negotiating with them for bridge. Mr. Meinzinger stated that that would be
impossible as it is difficult to negotiate one developer with another developer.
Stated they are willing to cooperate in any way but to leave spur does not
solve problem.
Mr. Walker stated that commission would check with the Engineering Department to
determine just what this would cost and then come back to Rouge Building Company
and Mr. Volk and School District and see what can be worked out. Would suppose
that Rouge Building Company would assume part of the burden.
Mr. Walker announced that PetitionV-81 would be taken under advisement.
Mrs. Miquelon announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition Z-649 by
Seymour Weissman, President of Dale Investment Company, Inc. request-
IL ing the rezoning of property located on the East side of Farmington
Road between Plymouth Road and the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway,
approximately 780 feet South of the railroad, in the Southwest 1/4 of
Section 27, from RUFB to M-1. Mr. Weissman was present.
Mr. Weissman stated this is all within the industrial park area. Propose to build
an office building. Own 13 acres. There is a shop on the back portion of
property but the front is zoned RUFB.
Mr. Daniel Andrew stated he thought area should be rezoned to conform with rest
of area..
Kr. Walker announced that Petition Z-649 would be taken under' advisement.
Mrs.. Miquelon announced the next item on the agenda is Application TA-106 by
Angelo DiPonio, requesting permission to remove eight inches of
topsoil from TAX Parcel 7I2 (approximately 62.77 acres) located on
the Northwest corner of Six Mile Road and Newburgh Road in the
Southeast 1/4 of Section 7. Mr. Stuart W. Grant, 17242 Westmoreland
Detroit, was present representing the petitioner.
Mr. Grant stated they wish to level area and stock pile topsoil on Newburgh Road.
Mr. Ralph Schweikhart, 17800 Newburgh, stated 25-30 acres of this land is all
under water when it rains. Asked that area be seeded. In his opinion there isn't
IL:
8'r of topsoil on this land because grass etc. has been removed in the past. Looks
below grade right now.
4279
I() Mr. Walker asked whether Mr. DiPonio intended to backfill during operation.
Mr. Grant stated he did not. Stated they felt it would be at grade level; however
some back fill will be needed eventually. Proposed to do the same as was done
on Merriman Road whereby Mr. DiPonio will seed with wheat and oats.
Mr. Tent questioned length of operation. Mr. Grant stated it will take one year.
The land has not been sold to developer but Mr. DiPonio plans to put in sewers,
roads, etc. before offering land to developer. Improvements will be put in when
water is available.
Mr. Walker asked whether ingress and egress would be on Newburgh Road. Asked that
this be shown on plans.
Mr. Walker announced that Application TA-106 would be taken under advisement.
Mrs. Miquelon announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition Z-653 by
Harvey Deilfield, Harben Realty Company, requesting the rezoning of
property on the Southeast corner of Vassar and Middlebelt Road in
the Southwest 1/4 of Section 1, from RUFB to C-2. The petitioner
was present.
. Beilfield stated they intend to develop area in accordance with C-2 zoning.
The exact type of business has not been determined- have several things in mind.
Mr. Hull questioned feeling of Mr. Beilfield regarding vacating of Vassar.
Mr. Beilfield stated he would be interested in this. The ingress and egress is
IL: planned for Middlebelt and not Vassar.
Mr. Walker announced that Petition Z-653 would be taken under advisement.
Mrs. Miquelon announced that the next item on the agenda is Petition Z-654 by
Wesley and Onahlee Goff, requesting the rezoning of property located
on the South side of Fargo Between Merriman Road and Sunset in the
Northwest 1/4 of Settion 2 from RUFB to RLA. The petitioners were
present.
At First Mr.Goff stated he proposed to develop area into three lots (110,113 and
113 x 135) but when further questioned the dimensions were slightly altered from
plan filed with petition. It was not established whether pbtitioners would have
to submit subdivision plat later or would be able to file just for lot split.
Mr. Walker announced that Petition Z-654 would be taken under advisement.
Mrs. Miquelon announced the next item on the agenda is Petition Z-655 by

through 7, Storm and Fowler's Country Crest Subdivision, located
on the west side of Mid''lebelt Road, between Morlock and Norfolk
in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 2, from RUFB to C-1. Mr. Morgan
was present.
1'!r. Morgan stated he owned Lot 5 and that with the widening of Middlebelt Road,
the homes are too close to road for residential use.
IL:
Mr. Percy Wainer, 20373 Middlebelt Road, stated 234 was dedicated for widening of
Middlebelt Road. With the noise and traffic, property is no longer desirable for
residential use.
4280
Mr. David Parshall, 20330 Freemont, stated he would rather see area rezoned to PS
than C-1.
Miss Lillian Welsh, 20335 Middlebelt Road, was preselt in favor of request.
Mrs. Eugene Harris, 20365 Middlebelt Road, stated they have three small children
and area is not desirable for residential use. Lots are now 1554 deep.
Mr. Walker announced that Petition Z-655 would be taken uhder advisement
Mrs. Miquelon announced the next item on the agenda is Petition M-329 by Sheldon
Rose, Bishop Construction Company, requesting approval of site plan for
multiple dwelling units on property located on the east side of Farming-
ton Road, approximately 900 feet south of Sheldon Shopping Center, in
the Northwest 1/4 of Section 34. The petitioner was present.
Mr. Rose stated that the streets are already in and paved and that this determined
the layout of the development. The development will contain both one story and two
story buildings. Each unit is just like a home. There will be a total of 116
units all located West of Woodring Avenue. There will be two parking spaces
provided for each unit.
Mrs. Carl Hoheisel, 9910 Woodring, stated they do not need any more traffic
either coming in or going out of Woodring. There is already an excess of traffic
coming from and going to Sheldon Center.
IL: Mr. Warren Sheldon stated that at the time of development it was thought this
area would be commercial but this is impossible now.
Mr. Joseph Cyr, 10811 Farmington Road, referred to units along Farmington Road
and their being so close to road. Questioned saturation of land in terms of
sewers. Mr. Rose informed Mr. Cyr he was informed this (sewers) was not a
problem.

development.
M . Rose stated the rent for units would be approximately: $130 for 1 bedroom unit
160 for 2 bedroom unit
180 for 3 bedroom unit
Mr. Walker referred to three bedroom units in that they will create too much
density in one area. Commission will want to discuss this further at Study
Meeting.
Mrs. Doris Bachman, Traffic Commission, stated there should be an area drawing
for the Traffic Commission's study. There is nothing showing what is in
surrounding area. Mr. Rose submitted area drawing for Mrs. Bachman's use.
