Stated his property is on the northeast corner of the proposed subdivision extending to Cavell. Mr. John Orel, 14751 Cavell, stated with the proposed subdivision, the pencil strips will be blocked up and useless.

Mr. Whitehead announced the next item on the agenda is the preliminary plat of Woodcreek Farms Subdivision #2 located approximately 1,050 feet east of Farmington Road, and approximately 1,210 feet west of Hubbard Road directly East of Woodcreek Farms Subdivision in the West half of Section 15. Messrs. Norman Cohen, Attorney, and James S. Bonadeo were present. Mr. Cohen stated the lots shown on the proposed plat are the same three sites that t0o were given a lot split by the Commission sometime ago. Mr. Hull stated that his signature on a lot split only indicates that it complies with the existing zoning in the area. Mr. Firestone stated that the Department of Law approval to a lot split only approves it to form and not the sufficiency of the petition. 4132 The secretary established that the only resident in Woodcreek Farms Subdivision I[: notified of this hearing was Parker H.

Mr. William Ponder, Attorney, representing Mr. Parker H. Thayer and other residents in the Woodcreek Farms Subdivision and Greenbrier Estates Subdivision, stated that when the lot split was presented to the City Council he proved to the City Council that the way petitioner was proceding was illegal. Petitioner then withdrew his request and filed this preliminary plat. Stated it is his position that this attempt is just as illegal. Referred to Zoning Ordinance No. 60, Section 17.05 and felt that attempt violates all three of these rules. Petitioner does not have 80' at the front property line. Under the basic ordinance, this request is clearly det;:imental and injurious to the surrounding neighborhood. The lot areas are much larger in the whole Bell Creek area. If tis request is allowed, it will establish a precident that will trier additional requests all up and down the revine. The Woodcreek Farms Subdivision was recorded two years ago and laid out as Lot #15. Now petitioner has obtained additional land from Lot 18, Greenbrier Estates Subdivision, No. 2 and wishes to make three lots. Where petitioner was going to put one residence, he is notr going to build three homes. Additional land has been purchased ih the rear but not in the front. Referred to Page 2 of 1[0 the Deed Restrictions in that a lot size cannot be reduced in size or enlarged by consolidation by ohe or more adjoining lots without the prior written consent of Bonadeo Corporation. M . Bonadeo has reserved for himself this privilege alone. This is allowing one side to do sorhething and not allowing other people to have same rights. There has been a numbe' of p ople purchasing property in Woodcreek Farms Subdivision and these peofle have a right to rely on what Mr. Bonadeo and his agents showed them when they purchased their property. They showed people the existing Woodcreek Farms Subdivision and not the plat that is submitted here to- night. Requested that the proposed Woodcreek Farms Subdivision #2 be turned down. Mr. Firestone requested a copy of the Deed Restrictions in the Greenbrier Estates Subdivision, No. 2. The president of Greenbrier Estates Subdivision offered to submit such a copy for commission's use. Mr. C. hen informed Commissioner's that the CityPlanning Commission adopted a resolution approving the lot split. Stated in thein cons,.it to have the City Council rescind their resolution approving lot split, they were not conceeding that the plat would be unlawful. Referred to size of lots proposed in Woodcreek Farms Subdivision #2 in that they are in a RUF area which allows 1/2 acre sites but does not specify the lot frontage size. Do not have to comply with RU X80') frontage requirements. The three sites (Lots 97, 98 and 99) as shown on the proposed plat submitted, are larger than 90% of the sites in the existing subdivision. Lot 99 will be larger than the original Lot 15. Lot 15 is in a RUF District and not RV Mr. Leo P. Rabaut, 32579 Greenland Ct., was present and questioned if petitioner c rllowed to plat area, how he can sell in good faith proposed homes. 4 mippmmew • 1E . Drcmia Smith, 32599 Greenland Ct., referred to flood level in the area. Mr. Cohen stated there is as much high ground on the three proposed sites as client had on the other lots. The size of the homes to be built will be comparable to the existing homes in the subdivision. Mrs. Parker Thayer, 33044 Hampshire, stated when they purchased their home they were to have one neighbor and now they are to have three. Mr.Cohen stated there are 3 number of 50' residences in the existing subdivision. There will be 25' - 30' in total side yards.

Mrs. Genson was present. Mrs. Genson stated they have an option on the property. Most of the property across the street is zoned commercial. The road is to be widened into five lanes in the near future. The property is vacant and they wish to build a beauty salon. Mr. Whitehead asked the number of planned operators working in salon. Mrs. Genson stated she has three now and plans on one more in future. There will be a total of 1[0 five operators in new building. Mr. Hull stated according to this, petitioners will have to have ten parking spaces. There is 501 frontage altogether. Mr. Walker stated leaving the lot in between the existing commercial area and this request is the most serious problem. Mr. Max Seitz, 18943 Farmington Road, stated the lot is not large enough for building and proper parking. Mr. Thomas Merko, 19005 Farmington Road, objected to request. Mr. Walker announced that Petition Z-664 would be taken under advisement. Mr. Whitehead announced the next item on the agenda is Petition Z-665 by Vincent S. and Marilyn J.

Mr. Whitehead announced the next item on the agenda is the proposed Greenwood Farms Subdivision located on the north side of Five Mile Road approximately 865 feet west of Newburg Road immediately west of the Newburg Heights Subdivision in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 18. Messrs. Norman Cohen, Attorney, and James Bonadeo were present. Mr. Hull stated the proposed plat does not conform to zoning as it now exists. However, there is the same density because of reduction of lot size and 4.15 acre park site. This will be a subdivision with a built-in recreational area. Mr. Firestone asked how park area will be maintained and who will own it. Mr. Bonadeo stated his intention is to turn the park site over to the people in the subdivision. There will be a requirement on the deed that all residents in the subdivision will have to pay an assessment to help maintain the area. At such l[ time the residents did not want to have park site, it would revert to the City of Livonia. Would clear park site up and keep it clean until the homes are sold.
