OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF LIVONIA
On Tuesday, April 23, 1968, the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia,
held its 192nd Regular Meeting and a Public Hearing at the 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 approximately 35 interested persons in the audience.
Members present: Charles W. Walker Donald Pollock Harry Wrightman
Donald Heusted Raymond W. Tent
Members absent: Marvin Moser Myra Chandler
Messrs. Don Hull, Planning Director; Ralph H. Bakewell, Planner III; H. G. Shane,
Planner II, and David Perry, Assistant City Attorney, were present.
Mr. Wrightman announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 68-3-2-3 by
Pure Oil Division, Union Oil Company of California, requesting to
be granted a waiver use permit to build a gasoline service station
on the northeast corner of Seven Mile and Newburgh in Section 5.
Mr. Ralph P. Miller, Jr. , Division Real Estate Representative, and Mr. V. C. Mooney,
Field Construction Manager, were present representing the petitioner.
Mr. Tent stated that in areas where gas stations have occupied 2 or 3 corners at
an intersection, there are presently many vacant ones and question Mr. Miller as
to what they planned that was different in order to keep the station in business.
Mr. Mooney stated that none of the stations that are out of business are Pure
stations, and that this is actually a transfer of an existing station. He stated
that Pure stations are sprdad out and enable people to make a living in this City
and they feel it is a new marketing area.
Mr. Pollock stated that it has been found that when gas stations are of minimum
design and the operator goes out of business, it becomes a burden on the community
and has a deteriorating effect on the neighborhood.
Mr. Wrightman questioned if they discontinue a station do they sell it to someone
else for the same business.
Mr. Miller stated they have restrictions regarding this but sometimes they are used
for other businesses.
Mr. Mooney stated they are sometimes used for real estate offices, cleaners, drive-
in restaurants, etc.
Mr. Miller showed plans to the Commissioners of stations located at Seven Mile
and Inkster and Seven Mile and Middlebelt, and a site plan of the proposed station.
Discussion was held regarding the proposed station and site plan by the petitioners,
and Commission.

Mr. Mooney replied, about six.

There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.
Mr. Walker, Chairman, stated the item will be taken under advisement.
Mr. Wrightman announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 68-2-2-2 by
John F. Dooley, Attorney for William V. Titus and John Giacobozzi,
requesting to be granted a waiver of use permit to erect a gasoline
service station on the northeast corner of Haggerty Road and Six
Mile in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 7.
Mr. Walker advised that a letter had been received from Mr. Dooley stating that he
was not able to attend the public hearing this evening and requesting that the
Commission withhold action on this petition until he is able to appear.
Mr. Walker stated that results of a study made by the Commission indicated that
this station may be moved to another location and advised that the petition will
be taken under advisement.
There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.
Mr. Walker, Chairman, stated the item will be taken under advisement.
Mr. Wrightman announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 68-3-1-7 by
L
Rodney C. Kropf, Attorney for Helen Meining requesting to rezone
property located on the west side of Farmington Road, north of
Schoolcraft Road in Section 21, from R-2 to R-7.
Mr. Rodney C. Kropf, Attorney for the petitioner, was present and stated that this
petitioner owns this property which at one time received favorable action by the
Planning Commission for C-2 zoning for a K-Mart but was denied by the Council in
view of the fact that so many of the people in the area objected. He stated that
the site has been looked at by architects and it is felt that it is good property
for multi-family zoning, and that he can put a high-class development to those
present.
Mr. Wrightman questioned how many acres and units are involved.
Mr. Kropf stated there are 11.54 acres and about 120 units are proposed. He stated
that the plan submitted to the Commission is similar to what he proposes to build
here, with no three-bedroom units.
Mr. Tent advised that this area may be made a part of the Center City area and that
there are other considerations for the property.
Mr. Pollock questioned if the lights and noise from the Field would bother the
tenants of an apartment.
Mr. Kropf stated that Mr. Volk will be the architect if the zoning is approved by
the City although the developer is not yet known and that it is felt they will be
able to screen the apartments from the lights and sound proof the units.
5307
The President of Kimberly Oaks Civic Association was present and stated that the
(10 Association opposed multi-family zoning a few years ago. He stated the
Association would like to see this property developed in some way but they do
not want a K-Mart; they would like the civic center development or an extension
of Ford Field.
Mr. Alden Sawyer, 14028 Stamford, requested information regarding the general
development plans for this area,
Mr. Hull, Planning Director, stated that the Planning Department has envisioned
that this land would best be Used in a combination of uses rather than one;
perhaps some professional office, additional park, single family residential and
limited commercial. He stated that tie type of commercial would be specifically
to serve the residents of the area rather than the residents of the region. Mr.
Hull advised that two studies have been made to date and the Department would like
to complete a third.
Mr. Walker stated that there is another petition before the Commission which
involves property at Schoolcraft and Stark Road and it has been decided the
Commission will have to make a study of the area to determine the development
of the civic center area. He stated that the Commission is awaiting a decision
from the Council regarding their preference regarding the development of the
area, including this site. The Planning Commission will then know what position
they want to take with this petition and what would be offered to the petitioner
in the future.
Mr. Kropf requested to know how long this would take.
Mr. Walker stated he believed that within about four to six weeks the Commission
should have a fair indication as to the planned development of the total area.
Mr. Kropf stated that seemed reasonable.
There was no one else wishing to be heard regarding this petition.
Mr. Walker, Chairman, stated the item will be taken under advisement.
Mr. Wrightman announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 68-3-3-7 by
the City Planning Commission on its own motion, to vacate that
portion of Lyndon Avenue located between Eckles Road and Bassett
Avenue in Section 19.
Mr. Hull advised the Commission that this petition is related to the imple-
mentation and effectuation of the overall plan for Section 19. He stated that
the new Plat Act means that vacations would have to go to Circuit Court and by
that time the State would have consummated their action.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Tent, seconded by Mr. Wrightman, and unanimously
adopted, it was
5308
#4-44-68 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held on
April 23, 1968 on Petition 68-3-3-7 as submitted by the City Plan-
ning Commission on its own motion, to vacate that portion of Lyn-
; t don Avenue located between Eckles Road and Bassett Avenue in Sec-
tion 19, the City Planning Commission does hereby withdraw Petition
68-3-3-7 for the following reason:

granted a waiver use permit to build a gasoline service station
on the northeast corner of Seven Mile and Newburgh in Section 5,
the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City
Council that Petition 68-3-2-3 be denied for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed use would not be in harmony and appropriate
with the orderly development of the surrounding area,
(2) The location and size of the proposed use, the nature and
intensity of the principal use and accessory uses, the site
layout and its relationship to streets giving access, shall
be such that the traffic to andfrom the use and assembly of
persons in conjunction with the use, will be hazardous and
inconvenient to the area and will unduly conflict with the
normal traffic of the area.
5309
I: (3) The location of the building and its accessories will be
such that the proposed use will have a detrimental effect
l upon the neighboring property and the neighboring area in
general. It may impair the value of the neighboring property
and discourage the appropriate development and use of the
adjacent land or building.
(4) This petition conflicts with the philosophy of the master
plan for the northwest sector of the City.
(5) This petition is in violation with a proposed ordinance amend-
ment which would require greater distance between service
stations.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that notice of the above public hearing was
sent to property owners within 500 feet, petitioner and City
Departments as listed in the Proof of Service.
Mr. Walker, Chairman, declared the motion carried and the foregoing resolution
is adopted.
Mr. Wrightman announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 68-2-2-2 by
John F. Dooley, Attorney for William V. Titus and John Giacobozzi,
requesting to be granted a waiver of use permit to erect a gasoline
service station on the northeast corner of Haggerty Road and Six
Mile in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 7.
LI Mr. Walker, Chairman, stated that in view of the request dated April 9, 1968 from
Mr. Dooley that this item be withheld, the Commission will take the matter under
advisement until such time as Mr. Dooley is able to be present.
Mr. Wrightman announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 68-3-1-7 by
Rodney C. Kropf, Attorney for Helen Meining requesting to rezone
property located on the west side of Farmington Road, north of
Schoolcraft Road in Section 21, from R-2 to R-7.
Mr. Walker questioned if it is Mr. Kropf's desire that the Commission hold this
item until a study has been made of the area with the hope that this petition and
three or four others can be related to the study.
Mr. Kropf stated that that would be fine.
Mr. Tent questioned what Mr. Kropf's attitude toward adjusting his petition if a
modification is necessary and will he be willing to compromise with the master
plan if it is neaded.
Mr. Kropf stated he can wait until the study is made and if it is reasonable he
will go along with it, but he stated, he does not believe P.S. is reasonable and
he understands the residents do not want commercial.
Mr. Walker stated this item will be taken under advisement.
5310
Mr. Wrightman announced the next item on the agenda, Petition 68-3-3-7 was
withdrawn during the course and the public hearing and that the next item
to be taken up at this time is Petition 68-1-2-1 by G. Mayer requesting to
be granted a waiver use permit to install automatic auto-wash
equipment and add on to existing building located on the north side
of Schoolcraft between Eckles and Hix Roads in the Southwest 1/4
of Section 19.
Mr. Walker referred to a letter dated April 3, 1968 from the Engineering Divi-
sion regarding the water problem in this area.
Mr. Mayer stated he had talked with the Engineering Division and was told that
they felt this use would not be a real problem because of the small quantity of
water they would take out.
Mr. Wrightman stated he agreed about the amount of water that is going to be used
in the area, but the homeowners in the area should be given consideration. . He
questioned if there are any plans for improving the water source there.
Mr. Hull stated he knows of no plans and that a few years ago the situation was
very bad and according to the Engineering Division, who is the authority, there
is a problem.
Mt. Mayer stated that the automatics could be discontinued during June and July
because a lot of people are on vacation and wash their own cars.
Mr. .Wrightman questioned how the City could be sure that he would do this.
Mr. Mayer stated that if he doesn't have the proper water pressure he can't
operate and if he closes down for four or five week-ends out of the year, there
will be no great loss.
Mr. Tent stated that a new owner, if Mr. Mayer ever sold the business, may not
be willing to do this, and in view of the letter from the Engineering Division,
he is not in favor of this use.
Mr. Pollock stated there is an objection from the Police Department regarding
the lining up of cars waiting to get in.
Mr.. Mayer stated he has purchased an additional 150' behind the station for these
cars and there is room for 250 cars off the street.
Mr. Pollock questioned if it is the Commission's responsibility to worry about
the water problem.
Mr. Hull stated the Commission should get something from the Engineering Divi-
sion as to whether there is a solution to the water problem._
Mr. Mayer suggested that he could erect storage tanks for low pressure periods.
Mr. Tent stated that at the time of the public hearing the residents of the area
stated they have a water pressure problem existing there now and the City Depart-
ments say there is a problem, and if storage tanks were built he doesn't -believe
the Commission would be doing the people in the area a service at all.
Mr. Pollock questioned why it should be the Commission's jurisdiction regarding
water when a man wants to go into business and, since Hygrade is putting a
burden on the same system, is the Commission going to tell them they can't open?
5311
Mr. Wrightman stated his belief that this man should be given equal rights in
the use of his property.
Mr. Hull stated this man has the right to use his land in any of the other uses
permitted under the zoning.
Mr. Tent stated that the people in the area should be considered also, and that
at the time of the hearing they stated they have a problem to the extent that
they cannot even water their grass in the summer.
Mr. Pollock suggested that Mr. Mayer be given an opportunity to go back to the
Engineering Department for something more factual.
Mr. Walker questioned Mr. Pollock as to whether he would still consider voting
under the advice of the Engineering Division if it is referred back to them and
if they give the same answer.
Mr. Pollock stated that if they say definitely there is not enough water to
operate an auto wash in this area he will not override the Engineering Division.
Mr. Wrightman stated that he would also like to know what provisions will be
made for future development in this area regarding water supply and also Hygrade's
development.
Mr. Pollock stated there are small industrial plants going in along there and
questioned where will they get their water. He suggested that the Commission
get together with the Water Department andd find oLt where they stand.
Mr. Tent stated he is satisfied with the Engineering Division's report and he
would vote against the petition on that basis.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.
Mr. Walker, Chairman, stated the item will be taken under advisement.
Mr. Wrightman announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 65-12-1-40 by
Joseph B. Monaco requesting to rezone property located at the
northeast corner of Farmington Road and Lyndon Avenue in Section
22, from RUF to P.S. for construction of a nursing home, convalescent
home, professional center or a high-rise office building.
Mr. Walker stated that the Commission has been over this matter quite a few
times and he believed the petitioner is interested in a resolution based on his
plan.
Mr. Tent questioned if Mr. Bruce Duke, representing the petitioner, is in
disagreement with the Planning Commission's plan for this.
Mr. Duke stated he has an alternate plan to show the Commission.
Mr. Tent questioned if this isn't the plan he showed the Commission at the last
study meeting.
Mr. Duke replied, yes, it is.
Mr. Walker stated that the Commission feels they just can't afford this much
professional use in this area.
5312
Mr. Duke and members in the audience who live in Kimberly Oaks Subdivision
viewed and discussed the plans made by the Planning Commission and Mr. Duke's
plan.
Mr. Hull stated that this is a very large quantity of P.S. zoning and it is the
obligation of the Planning Commission to make sure it will be compatible with
the existing residential development.
Mr, Duke stated he does not agree with the plan made by the Planning Department
and that he prefers his own.
Discussion was held by the Commission and residents of Kimberly Oaks with
the petitioner regarding the plans.
Mr. Walker stated that the Commission has attempted to resolve this with a
plan for some professional use and another use for the balance of the land that
would go along with the master plan. He stated that P. S. zoning was created
to be a transitional use between commercial and residential property and that
there is a hugh medical complex on Plymouth and Farmington Road and Mr. Pastor's
development on Schoolcraft and Hubbard. Mr. Walker pointed out that the
objection is not to P.S. zoning but to the quantity of P.S. zoning here.
Mr. Duke asked what the difference in quantity between the two plans is.
Mr. Hull stated the Planning Department's plan covers probably only about one-
third of the area,
Mr. Duke stated he feels the people in the area will believe this would be an
asset.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Tent, seconded by Mr. Wrightman, and unanimously
adopted, it was
#4-46-68 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held on
January 25, 1966 on Petition 65-12-1-40 as submitted by Joseph B%
Monaco requesting to rezone.property located at the northeast
corner of Farmington Road and Lyndon Avenue in Section 22, from
RUF to P.S. for construction of a nursing home, convalescent home,
professional center or a high-rise office building, the City Plan-
ning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that
Petition 65-12-1-40 be denied for the following reasons:
(1) A large quantity of professional service in this sector
of the City could adversely effect the stability of the
adjacent residential neighborhood.
(2) The logical transition between land uses should take place
along back, rather than front, lot lines.
(3) This plan is in conflict with the Commission's development
plans for the Center City area.
(4) This is an excessive quantity of professional service zoning
to grant in this sector of our City.
5313
(5) The proposed site plans indicate that adequate development
solutions are difficult to achieve on this parcel of land.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above public hearing was
published in the official newspaper, the Livonia Observer under

Mr, Hull stated that 4.7 acres are involved in this petition. The matter, he
stated, was before the Commission before and the Commission requested to see
a detailed architectural plan and the petitioner has complied with the request;
he may, however, be required to have eight more parking spaces which should be
included before submittal of the Commission's resolution to Council.
Mr. Tent questioned if Mr. Tipton would agree to make the revision if it is
requested after interpretation by the Inspection Department has been received.

Council that Petition 67-6-2-11 be approved for the following
reasons:

service development on parcels of land that are less
than 200' in depth.
