THE 179th REGULAR MEETING AND A PUBLIC HEARING OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LIVONIA On Tuesday, March 29, 1966, the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia, held the 179th Regular Meeting and a Public Hearing at the Livonia City Hall, 33001 Five Mile Road, Livonia, Michigan. Mr. Raymond W. Tent, Vice Chairman, called the Public Hearing to order at 8:30 ppm. with apprc,cimately 50 -.+ :_ ^str'd prisons in the audience, Members Present: Raymond W. Tent Donald Heusted Marvin Moser Bcb R. Whitehead Donald Pollock Harry Wrightman Members Absent: Charles W. Walker Myra Chandler John J. Ward Messrs. Don Hull, Planning Director; John J; Nagy, Assistant Planning ' Director; Harry Tatigian and Michael Farrug, City Attorneys; John Du.2our, Superintendent, Department of Parks and Recreation, were present. Mr. Wrightman announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 66-2-1-4 by Robert E. Childs, attorney for Vaughn Hinbers, requesting to rezone property located on the southwest corner of Seven Mile Road and Inkster Road in Section 13 from C-1 to C-2. Mr. Robert E. Childs, representing the petitioner, pointed out the present situation in which there exists two homes'on this property and this proposed use will necessitate removal of both. Mr. Childs described the'general area and the structures that are located on the surrounding property, and stated that the petitioner desires to erect a gas station in this location because Seven Mile will be widened in the near future and Inkster already carries a large volume of traffic, Mr. Tent stated that this type of business in this immediate area seems to be a high fatality business since Shell, Gulf and Mobil stations in the area have changed ownership several times. He asked Mr. Childs if he has a market survey that would show that a station on this particular corner would be a successful business, Mr. Childs stated his inclination to say that one of the problems of zoning is not the regulation of business competition but that that is up to the operators of gas stations and if a product can be sold at all the percentage of business that is attracted depends on the operator of the business. Mr. Tent advised Mr., Childs that the members of the Planning Commission are very interested La the ::sinesses that come into Livonia and how they survive, and that self-sustaining businesses are desired. Mr, Childs stated his belief that matters of zoning should not regulate this type of thing. ll: Mr. Wrightman asked if Mr, Childs represents the Texaco people. f T 4718 City Planning Commission Meeting and Public Hearing 3/29/66 Page 2 a Mr. Childs stated that the Texaco people are present tonight. Mr. Wrightman stated his feelings that the area could be developed at a higher calibre if the zoning in the area is kept in the same category, Mr. Tent remarked that it is a shame to tear down the very nice home that is occupying the property, Mr. Childs agreed but added that the home next door is considerably older, presents many problems in maintenance and is difficult to keep rented because the high traffic renders it unlivable, Mr. Pollock raised a question regarding the small piece of property located south of the corner lot, Mr. Wrightman questioned if that piece is necessary for the station. Mr. Childs replied, no. Mr. Wrightman asked if Texaco representative was familiar with the Ann Arbor and Merriman area. Mr. Davis, Real Estate Agent for Texaco, was present and stated the he was familiar with the location of the station at Ann Arbor and Merriman and that his territory included the southeast portion of Livonia, Mr. Wrightman stated that the occupancy of the station that was erected about a year ago at Ann Arbor and Merriman was scanty and was vacant for a long period of time and since the traffic there is about the same as at Seven Mile and Inkster requested information as to what they feel is the reason for this. Mr. Davis stated that he is not able to compare the traffic flow between the two but the company apparently felt it was a good investment or they wouldn't have built there. Mr, Davis stated that even though there had been quite a changeover and vacancies for a length of time they have no closed stations in the Detroit metropolitan area today. He further stated that there has been some difficulty in obtaining good operators at stations because they seem to prefer employment with automotive companies where the pay is higher. Mr. Wrightman questioned if the Commission could look foreward to the same vacancies in this instance. Mr, Davis stated that he cannot agree with that; that this is the only company Sith no closed stations today. Mr. Wrightman requested to know how many Texaco stations there are in the City of Livonia. 4719 Regular Meeting and Public Hearing City Planning Commission 3/29/66 Page 3 Mr. Davis replied he couldn't say for sure but he would estimate four or five. Mr. Wrightman questioned where is the closest station to this location, Mr; Davis replied at Eight Mile and Grand River, Mr, Tent made reference to a letter in the file dated March 22, 1966 from Mr. and Mrs; Delaney stating their objection to this rezoning and a letter from the Chief City Engineer dated February 23, 1966 and referring to the dedications of Inkster and Seven Mile Roads to their ultimate width being a condition of the rezoning procedure. Mr. Tent, Vice Chairman, announced this item will be taken under advise- ment; Mr. Wrightman announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-2-6-2 by the City Planning Commission, pursuant to Council Resolution #877-65 to determine whether or not to amend Ordinance #543 (Zoning Ordinance) by adding Sections 18,51 and 18;52 (Oil and Gas Wells). The proposed ordinance was read aloud by Mr. Pollock, Mr, James P; Thomas and Mr. Burgess, representing Consumers Power Company, were present and Mr. Thomas read a prepared statement to the Commission which outlined the company's business and operations in the drilling of gas wells, and referred specifically to pages 10 and 14 of their Annual Report which states that as at the end of 1965 the company services 697,000 customers in 650 communities, ani although tremendous quantities of gas is supplied by the Company the quantity is not adequate to supply all the customers so it is brought from other parts of the country through underground pipes and it will be necessary to drill one well in the City of Livonia in order to store the gas in an underground storage field. Mr. Thomas stated that he is opposed to any ordinance that will prohibit any underground storage operations; He added that drilling is already regulated by other government agencies and further regulations may not be necessary. Mr. Burgess showed slides of a cross section of a well; underground storage fields, drilling equipment used in digging wells and where gas is stored in the Northville Storage Field. Mr. Tent questioned if periodic tests are made to determine if there is any gas leakage and does the gas go up and down. liMr; Burgess stated that the Northville Storage Field is tested periodically and that the gas moves in a horizontal direction. ; w • 4720 Public Hearing and Regular Meeting March 29, 1966 City Planning Commission Page 4 LMr. Wrightman questioned if the rigs are portable. Mr. Burgess replied yes. Mr. Wrightman questioned if Mr. Burgess had read the ordinance. Mr. Burgess stated yes and it is felt that storage will have no effect on the City and that there is very little hazard involved. Mr. Wrightman questioned if property above and along side of the storage field is owned by the company. Mr. Burgess replied ttat they have storage and mineral rights to the property, Mr. Wrightman questioned if homes could be erected over this. Mr. Burgess replied yes, because it is not actually a large cavity, but a series of small spaces. Mr. Thomas stated that the ordinance, as written, prohibits storage and this means the company would be in trouble with putting gas in and out of their Northville field, which is partially in Lisonia. He stated it is felt that this will be detrimental to the people in Livonia and to their customers, Mr. Tatigian stated that this ordinance would not interfere with an existing• use but to expand on the use is a question of zoning and would be prohibited. Mr. Pollock questioned if Consumers Power Company, as public utility, can condemn land for this use or do they buy on the open market. Mr. Burgess stated that theCompany has the right of eminent domain. Mr. Pollock questioned what taxes are paid. Mr. Thomas stated they pay taxes on storage gas. Mr. Pollock stated that the Consumers Power Company also includes oil and questioned if all of these drilling operations for oil and gas are carried out by Consumer's own personnel and could a wild cat drilling rig be allowed to operate in'the City. Mr. Thomas stated they are not in the wild cat business; this was originally founded by Taggert and after the well was established they started to think aoout storage. lie further stated that if the ordinance restricted public utilities it would be more palatable to the company and is sure something could be worked out that would be both to the interest of the City and the company, but is sure the wording in the proposed ordinance will be detrimental to the company and to the City of Livonia. Mr, Thomas stated that they do not intend to drill wells in the City looking for gas but they might want to put in observation wells. 4721 Public Hearing and Regular Meeting March 29, 1966 City P'' G'vinmi_aainn Page 5 Mr. Pollock questioned if public utilities were exempted this would be more palatable. Mr, Tatigian advised the Commission that the State had, in effect, pre- empted the field with the exception of zoning and it is felt that regulation by the State of drilling of wells is permissable from a zoning standpoint. He further stated his belief that since this field is already pre-empted the City cannot adopt any regulations with or without their consent. Mr. Tatigian stated that if the Consumers Power Company has any new uses in mind this ordinance would interfere with that; if they do not intend to expand their operations any further in the City, but merely maintain the present uses, then this ordinance should not inter- fere. Mr. Thomas stated he assumes this is the last field but what would happen if there might be reasons for the need to drill another well. Mr. Tatigian advisad that it could perhaps be controlled under a waiver of use, Mr. Tent, Vice Chairman, stated this item will be taken under advisement, M-o Wrightman announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-3-2-6 by Edward Hyman, President, Fairway Farms Swim Club, requesting to be granted a waiver use permit to construct and operate a club swimming pool on parcel 17Elb1, E2a, located on the west side of Levan Road (extended) northerly from Sunnydale, and north of Sunnydale in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 17. _1r. Edward Hyman, 36132Sherwood Drive, stated their proposal to`!build a 37im club for 300 families and included are plans for a pool, wading pool, ) ;thhouse and recreational facilities. He stated that petitions from 60% abutting property owners, by-laws and articles of incorporation have been ubmitted to the Planning Commission, Tent questioned if there are residents on the southerly property, Lr. Hyman replied, no. Lr. Tent questioned if there is anyone whose signature was not obtained on the petition. nr. Hyman replied no, most of this area does not have homes but every :7noident living there now has signed. Wrightman questioned if the road is part of the site plan. 4722 Public Hearing and Regular Meeting March 29, 1966 City Planning Commission Page 6 i Mr. Hyman stated this gives them full utilization of the parcel. Mr. Tent questioned if he is interested in the five acres forthe pool. Mr. Hyman replied, yes, and they have an option on the rest of the property. Mr. Tent questioned what the membership fee is and if"development would be done as a complete package or on a piecemeal basis. Mr, Hyman stated the amount of the membership fee is $400,00 and that the pool, bathhouse, decking, landscaping and fencing will be done im- mediately and that it will be a $210,000.00 facility including the land. Mr. Tent questioned when construction will begin. Mr. Hyman replied that construction will begin by April 15, 1966 and completion by July 4, 1966. He further stated that they have a contractor for the pool and other contracts will be let out for bids in about a week. Mr. Pollock questioned the zoning to the east, Mr. Hyman replied it is R-2-A but homes are nit in as yet. Mr. Whitehead stated that another pool is going in about a mile from this site and this could cut down on the membership and effect the financial situation. Mr. Tent questioned if this facility will be open to the entire City. Mr. Hyman replied, yes. Mr. Tent, Vice Chairman, advised that this item will be taken under advise- ment. Mr. W rightman announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-2-2-5 by David Hoffman for Jehovah Witness Church requesting to be granted a waiver use permit to rectove the existing structure and erect a new church on parcel 03V1, located on thaturth side of Seven Mile Road, approximately 120 feet west of Osmus in Section 3. Mr. David Hoffman, 14110 Cavell, representing Jehovah's Witnesses, stated that he feels they now have a site that will be acceptable to the Planning Commission; that the site is only .15 less than two acres and that there should be no difficulty in this matter but this is why he is requesting a waiver use. Mr. Hoffman further stated that the building will not be used every day and will be a benefit to the City as far as design is concerned. 4723 , (.0 Public Hearing and Regular Meeting March 29, 1966 City Planning Commission Page 7 Mr. Tent questioned if the present building will be torn down. Mr. Hoffman replied, yes. Mr. Tent referred to a letter in the file from the Fire Department dated March 28, 1966 stating there is no objection to this petition except that the existing building be torn down and debris removed, and a letter from the Engineering Department dated March 14, 1966 stating that the dedication of Seven Mile Road should be required, and regarding the extension of the sanitary sewer to the site, Mr. Pollock questioned if a building of the same quality which hes been proposed in the past is proposed for this site. Mr. Hoffman stated, yes. Mr. Moser questioned what size building is planned. Mr. Hoffman stated the size of the proposed building is 80' x 50, and that about 150 people will be using it. Mr, Tent referred to a letter in the file from theEngineering Department IL regarding sanitary sewer and dedication. Mrs,. Norman Bernstein, 19277 Hardy, questioned if the.parking facility will be in the back and since there are no fences what protection will there be for the children against traffic. Mr. Hoffman stated the parking lot has not been designed as yet but if it is in the back it will not encroach on the property back there. He added that the building will be used only occasionally and he felt sure the Planning Commission will require a reasonable distance between the residential area and the parking lot. Mr. Hull advised that site plan approval ar fence is not required in this instance, Mr. Pollock requested to know if the location of the building will be in the area where it now is. Mr.. Hoffman stated it will be perhaps a little closer to the front„ • Mr.. Tent questioned if Mr.. Hoffman will be willing to work with th'. Planning Commission on a site plan compatible to the area.. Mr. Hoffman stated, yes. 1[1Mr, Tent, Vice Chairman, stated this item will be taken under advisement.

J: Erwin, Real Estate Representative for Shell Oil Company, requesting to be granted a waiver use permit to erect a gasoline service station on parcel 08Jla located on the northeast corner of Six Mile Road and Newburgh Road in Section 8. A. J. Erwin, representing Shell Oil Company, showed the Planning Commission pictures of a typical Shell Station on the west portion of the property and that the property on the east will be sold. The service station will be located in about the middle of the property and the front portion sodded, An easement was been granted the City for a water main along the west part of the property. Mr. Erwin outlined the history of prior approvals and permits obtained from the City and stated the reason for this request•for a waiver of use is because of the adoption of thanew Zoning Ordinance. He described the area surrounding this property and as far as he'knows there are no other requests for stations on the other three corners, and no house in the area. He stated that the requirements of thaZoning Ordinance have • been met and it is felt that a station here will be beneficial to a dealer� Mt. Pollock questioned if this site is large enough to support a motorlab and how much land would be required for one. Mr, Erwin stated that this site is not large enough to support a motorlab • and that the 300' x 300' site at Joy and Beech is not actually large enough, Mr. Tent questioned how soon this station would be developed. Mr. Erwin stated immediately if approved, but they would prefer not to develop it until the entire area is built up. Mr. Wrightman questioned what the plans are for the property the is to be sold. Mr. Erwin stted that they will deed restrict that property against the sale of any petroleum products and as far as setbacks are concerned. They intend to restrict the property to some type of retail store, but no used car lot or anything like that. Mr. Whitehead asked how many gallons of gas is pumped by the Farmington and Six Mile station and ctnted that it concerns him about the difference in the price of gas at these stations. Mr. Erwin stted that about 35,000 gallons of gas are pumped at the Farmington-Six Mile station and that the company has no control over the price that a dealer charges at his station. Mr. Pollock questioned if the Shell Oil Company is considering a motorlab for the City of Livonia. 4725 Public Hearing and Regular Meeting March 29, 1966 City Planning Commission Page 9 Mr. Erwin stated no, they are not considering any other area in the country for a motorlab, that it is an experimental operation and whether or not it will be pr7,f itable he does not know, Mr. Tent, Vice Chairman, stated that this item will be taken under advise- ment. Mr. Tent announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 65-12-2-15 by Mary Grande requesting to be granted a waiver use permit to erect a convalescent home on parcel 01CC located on the north side of Seven Mile Road between Lathers and Angling Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 1. Mr. Chester D. Cianforani, attorney, 13814 E. Seven Mile Road, Detroit 48205, representing Mrs. Grande, stated that the area is not sufficient for the 150 bed home that is contemplated and it will be'necessary to include the back portion of the land to provide parking facility. Construction could commence within 60 days if this is approved and was not begun before because of finances. Mrs. Grande has tkv assistants now and there areno financial problems. Architectural design of home will not conflict with present area and existing home will be removed, Mr, Cianforani stated that Mrs. Grande is interested in rezoning only enough property as would be necessary to conform to the ordinance and that this home will be geared to the tr 'dle or above average income groups of people and with the Medicare program there will be a drain on present hospitals. A Michigan Corporation will be formed and this will be a local project. Mr. Tent questioned what the net worth of the development will be, and what the monthly rental rates will be. Mr, Cianforani stated the estimate is $500,000.00, and the monthly rental rate for a ward will be about $400,00 and a suite $1,000.00. Mr. Tent questioned if they would be required to take in a percentage of patients where the State is involved, Mrs. Grande stated 10 - 12% Medicare patients have to be carried. Mr. Tent questioned if there were any renderings of the proposed home available at this time, Mr. Cohn, Mrs. Grande's partner, stated that a plot plan has been submitted. Mr, Tent stated he is not satisfied with that and he would like to see a picture of something like what is planned here. Mr. Pollock questioned if the Planning Commission has site plan juris- diction over this. t 4726 Public ('_caring and "angular Meeting March 29, 1966 City Planning Commission Page 10 Mr, Hull stated, no, we do not„ Mr, Tent regnested to knew how soon construction will begin„ Mr, Tent stated that if construction could begin within 60 days there must be some sort of site plan available„ Mc, Jones, Financial Assistant, stated that this.home will be similar to the home that they operate in 7--a- -r1eights, Pennsylvania, but not the s :re type of construction. Mr, Wrightman questioned if tentative approval could be given based on a site plan approval. Mr, Tatigian stated that the Commission doss not have to give them approval, but if the Commission recommended approval on the waiver use to the City Co'uic l and include a condition of approval , this caould call for their con- cu7rence and would have some merit; also if the petitioner indicates that he is willing to do so the Commission cculd indicate that this condition would be for a certain period of time. Mr. Tatigian further stated that it is itpreper to ccnditian rezoning petitions but this is not a rezoning petition and he think„ the Commission will be on firmer ground where this course of GCtLC:il is take Mr„ Tent, Vice Chairman, stated thin item will be taken under advisement. .4r, Wr-i htnan announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 66-1-6-1 by the City Planning Commission cn its own motion to determine whether or not to amend 'Ordinance #543 (Zoning Ord-ir.-uree) by ' repealing Section 11,03, Waiver Uses, and by adding Article )OV, C-•3 District Regulations.
