resid:ntial or apartment. Mr. Walker stated an RM classification allows
^',00 :,caare feet (704 x 120'). At a recent meeting with School Officials and

classification than the existing zoning classification. The site plan will be

2.5 - 2 bedroom 20,000
4.4 - 3 bedroom 5,000
single family

Mr. Afred has told him that the apartments in Livonia are not a burden on the
schools yet.
Mr. Ronald Eachenburg, 33103 Middlebcro, stated the lights and loud speakers
from the playfield distrub residents in the Kimberly Oaks Subdivision and that
this proposed apartment will be located directly south of playfield. Did not
see family moving into apartment at this location with noise and lights when the
same family could move into another unit at another location without noise and
lights. This would tend to influence the type of family in unit.
(0) Mr. Fields questioned what could be done with the entire 12 acre piece (this
includes the property south of area in question) . Mr.Walker asked whether
Mr. Wolfe had looked into purchase of additional land. Mr. Kropf stated

as a result of P ;.toning classification made for the Bowling Alley and Motel.

Mr. Malcolm P. Forsyth, 29715 Oakview, stated there is no access from
Schoolcraft Road to Lyndon between Inkster and Middlebelt Roads.
Mr. Pollock asked whether the proposed homes will be of equal value to the
homes already in subdivision. Mr. Ponder stated he did not know but assumed so.
Said he would eget an answer from his client.
4382
Mr. Walker stated the commercial property remaining between Middlebelt and
Inkster Roads should be studied.
Mr... Walker announced that the proposed Mar-Git Subdivision would be taken
Under advisement.
Mr. Whitehead announced the next item on the agenda is the proposed Lou Har
Subdivision located on the south side of Lyndon Avenue between
Middlebelt Road and Henry Ruff Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 23.
Mr. William Ponder, Attorney, was present representing the petitioner.
Mr. Ponder stated this plat was previously approved by the commission but that
because of the storm drains along Lyndon Avenue client was unable to develop
area. Now the drains are completed and client would like to develop plat.
Mr. Donald Barton, Attorney, 30280 Oakview, stated area is presently zoned RUF.
Questioned how proposed plat can be submitted to commission as an R1 area.
Mr. Tatigian stated the commission may continue the public hearing on the
proposed plat but if area is zoned RUF and does not conform to proposed plat,
the commission would have to disapprove plat.
Mr. Walker askedvhether petition for change of zoning has been filed in office.
Mr. Hull stated it has not and petitioner has been notified that one must be
filed. Mr. Walker stated commission would continue public hearing but that it
would be taken under advisement until zoning is presented to commission.
Mr. Barton stated he is most interested in west end of proposed plat. Stated
proposed plat shows 601 lots whereas those on Oakview are 731. The homes are
$20,000 up and did not believe developer will plat 601 lots into this price
home. Towards Middlebelt Road the lots increase in size to 90'x90'.
Mr. Malcolm P. Forsyth, 29715 Oakview, Bel Mar Civic Association, informed
commission that in their subdivision the original developer (Gordon Begin) sold
five lots (Lots 12,24,49, and two between Lots 5 and 9) to another builder who
built homes at $14,900 instead of $20,000 which was the selling price of rest
of homes in subdivision. Stated if this is going to be done on the other side
the entire area will depreciate again.
Mr. Richard Holloway, 30258 Bentley, stated he is concerned about property
values of area. Requested the lot size and width be the same as those in
Lyndon Meadows Subdivision #4 and #5 and that the deed restrictuions be submitted
and that they be comparable to lots in area.
Mr. Barton stated that the homes in Lyndon Meadows Subdivision #5 paid a total
of $9,094 in 1964 taxes. The Homes are all valued at $20,000 and up. If this
plat is approved as submitted, the residents in this subdivision would have a
strong case to have their existing valuation reduced.
Mr. Alfred Young, 29600 Jacquelyn, stated the trend towards small lot§ at this
stage of development of area, is a slap in the face to existing residents.
4283
Mr. Harold Crout, 30425 Lyndon, stated in his subdivision, the lots are not less
than 100/ wide. This proposed subdivision is not comparable with existing
subdivisions.
i

Mr. Maron Buckley, 14441 Melvin, stated there could be a garage located right
