On Tuesday, August 24, 1965, the City Planning Commission of the City of
Livonia, held the 209th Special Meeting and a Public Hearing at tre Livonia
City Hall, 33001 Five Mile Road, Livonia, Michigan. Mr. Charles W. Walker,
Chairman, called the Public Hearing to order at approximately 8:30 p.m.
with thirty interested persons in the audience.
Members present: Raymond W. Tent Charles W. Walker Donald C. Pollock
Donald E Heusted Harry Henry Wrightman John J. Ward
Bob R. Whitehead
Members absent: James Cameron Myra Chandler
Messrs. Don Hull, Planning Direttor; John Nagy, Assistant Planning Director;
Harry C. Tatigian, First Assistant City Attorney; and William J. Strasser,
Chief City Engineer, Division of Engineering, Department of Public Works,
were present.
Mr. Whitehead announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 65-8-1-1
by Walter J. Abraham requesting the rezoning of property located
on the south side of Five Mile Road between Paderewski and Garden
in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 24 from R-1 to C-2. Date of
publication 8/4/65. Messrs. Walter J. Abraham and William Szlinis,
Attorney, 35115 Park, Wayne, were present.
Mr. Szlinis stated they are not requesting anything that hadn't already been
done before. Presdnted a map showing property zoned C-2 and that in 1952
property was rezoned to residential. Five Mile Road is a commercial street
and is heavily travelled. At a future date, it will be a four lane highway.
Referred to the building restrictions in that it states that property along
Middlebelt Road and Five Mile Road is for commercial use. The use requested
is the use that the original subdivider had in mind and is born out by zoning
shown on 1950 map.
Mr. Whitehead questioned whether petitioner had use for property.
Mr.Szlinis stated client has use for property that is on the northwest portion
of property. The balance of the property has no use at the present time.
There are two residential homes on the property - one of which is omitted and
one of which is included in petition. The property value lies not in
residential use but commercial use.
Mr. Whitehead questioned why petitioner requests C-2 zoning. Mr. Szlinis
stated C-2 includes more uses than a lesser zoning classification. The use on
the northwest corner could operate in a C-1 area but the property value and
saleability is better zoned C-2.
Mr. Pollock asked for clarification that when developer built homes that on
plat this property was reserved for commercial use. Mr. Szlinis stated this
is true. Mr. Pollock stated then the people purchased homes with the
knowledge that property would be commercial. Mr. Szlinis stated this is true
and it is a matter of record.
4544
Mr. Pollock questioned why owner didn't petition for rezoning. Mr. Szlinis
stated in 1950 after the subdivision was platted property was C-2. It
would not have necessitated change. The Change took place in 1952 when the
1[}
city put in a new Master Plan.
Mr. Tent questioned how long the property had been in the property owner's
hands. Mr. Szlinis stated Carl A. Goers has been the owner of the property
for thirty years. In 1960 Mr. Goers filed a petition but did not go through
with it because of the cost involved. Mr. Goers at that time was not a
resident of the city and wasn't advised of the change - he was under the
impression that property was zoned C-2 all the time. Did not know of the
change until 1960 when he put it up for sale. The restrictions were
recorded in 1933.
Mr. Pollock stated he did not feel that people wlv have been paying commercial
taxes should be denied use of property as commercial property. If these
people purchased homes with full knowledge that the property would be used
for commercial purposes this is one thing but if they purchased thinking there
were to be homes this is another thing.
Mr. Carl A. Goers stated the taxes wae never lowered at any time.
Mr. Walker stated commission has to determine whether or not there is a need
for commercial property in this area and if this is logical location. Is it
the desirable size to be used as such, if it would serve the best interest of
the community and if it would not be determintal to the neighborhood. These
things must be considered. The past history is past and has nothing to do
with what commission is doing today. The fact that the lots are 20' wide
1[1'0 has no bearing whatsoever.
Mr. Abraham stated across the street is zoned R-3 and apartments are being
erected. At Deering and Five Mile Roads there is a piece zoned professional
and is not sold.
Mrs. Frances Moore, 15192 Paderewski, stated she talked to owner of property
building apartments and he said it would be ridiculous to rezone area.
Dr. Bowers (owner of residential property omitted from petition) said C-2
would be very poor use for p. nperty and that PS would be better. Stated her
mother, who she represents, purchased property in 1941 and at that time
checked that entire area and it was zoned residential.
Mr. Abraham questioned owner of apartments and person Mrs. Moore talked to.
Mrs. Moore stated she talked to Mr. Schubiner. Mr. Abraham stated that
Mr. Schubiner sold property to Ed Rose and he is now building apartments.
Mr. Walker announced that this item would be taken under advisement.
Mr. Whitehead announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 65-8-1-12
by Wayne H. Jones requesting the rezoning of a 3,35 acre parcel
located on the south side of Ann Arbor Trail approximately 360 feet

to do this because of the Middlebelt Road traffic.
Mr. Kouris stated the hours will be 10-5 except for Thursday which would be
later. Stated credit union is for school personnel only.
Mr. Tent questioned whether most activity would take place on the first and
fifteen of the month. Mr. Kouris stated this is not true inasmuch as most of
their activity is through pay roll deductions. There is no certain day each
month when there is more activity than another day because personnel is paid
every other week.
Mr. Wrightman asked whether petitioner would be willing to dedicate the
necessary footage on Middlebelt Road forhighway purposes. There is a 27'
strip commission is concerned with. Mr. Kouris stated he count speak for
the board but they would not be using property. Felt certain that Board

Mr. Walker, Chair man, called the 209th Special Meeting to order at 0:55 p.m.

table Petition 65-8-1-1 by Walter J. Abraham requesting
the rezoning of property located on the south side of

report and study by the City Planner as to actual anticipated
use of this land.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Pollock, Ward, Wrightman and Walker
NAYS: Heusted, Tent, and Whitehead
Mr. Tent asked why commission is prolonging this. This property is too
narrow for commercial zoning. A PS or C-1 is what commission has been
talking about.
Mr. Pollock stated he agreed that the land is too narrow and it is not in
good location for commercial zoning. However, ale( felt that the land under
PS may not be the best plan for this land. Two things came to commission9s
attention this evening and would like both things investigated - property
owner has been paying commercial taxes for twenty years and potential use of
this land.
Mr. Tent asked Mr. Pollock if he felt that under certain circumstances
commercial zoning would be aright. Mr. Pollock stated he did not feel
commercial zoning is property zoning. Mr. Tent stated if commission turns
down zoning it will remain R-1 and then commission could pursue it from
there. There are so many, many more important things that require
commissionss attention right now.
4548
Mr. Wrightman stated he believed commission had an obligation to owner of
property to let him know what is good use for property and then proper
petition can be filed. This will not only help property owner but the
commission.
Mr. Hull stated he would have available for Study Meeting September 14, the
requested report as to what this property is really suited for.

Mr. Ponder stated he would appreciate it if commission would table petition
to allow him to consult with client and perhps amend petition.
Mr. Wrightman stated commission has had no definite presentation by the
pettioner as yet as to what he has in mind in way of commercial use. If
petitioner can bring to light some use or intended use, would agree to delay.

R-2-A the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the
City Council that Petition 65-8-1-18 be granted for the following
reasons:
(1) This rezoning, based on the preliminary plat, reduces
rather than increases density, and
(2) This action creates approximately four (4) acres of

rezoning of the adjacent Greenwood Farms development
that has been previously approved, and

Hearing 8/24/65. Mr. William N. Ponder, Attorney, was present.
4552
`Mr. Ponder stated he would appreciate it if item would be held in abeyance
until such time as proposed plat is approved. The Commission is familiar
with plah; however, the City Council is not and want to assure their approval.
Mr. Ward stated this commission has made a decision that its time for city
to have 1/2 acre lots. This should be made a matter of record and this
petition as worded voted down.
Mr. Ponder stated that if subdivision as it will be submitted is approved,
the petition can be withdrawn but if subdivision is not accepted, client will
pro ceed with petition as presented.
Mr. Tatigian stated if commission acts on zoning petition, it is very
likely it will come before the City Council on the rezoning question prior
to subdivision question. After commission passes on proposed plat it has
to go to Engineering Department before it is presented to City Council.
This takes time and for that reason the rezoning question would come before
City Council before the plat. Thought what Mr. Ponder suggests a good idea.
Mr. Tent questioned when in time all this will transpire. Mr. Tatigian
stated that the City Council would probably receive the action of the
Planning Commission on the plat about the middle of September. The
proposed plat wal d then be referred to the Engineering Department. At
that point he could not estimate time- it would depend on circumstances.
Mr. Walker suggested it would be a matter of eight weeks.
