Livonia, held its 238th Regular Meeting and a Public Hearing at the Livonia

Mrs. Taylor, Acting Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda
Petition 71-12-2-37 by Lindhout Associates requesting to be
granted a waiver use permit to erect a new church facility
on property located on the north side of Five Mile Road
between Harrison and Garden in the Southwest 1/4 of
Section 13.
Mr. Lindhout was present and advised the Commission that they propose to
remove the two houses that exist on the property now, one house initially and
the other some five years later.
Mr. Andrew advised Mr. Lindhout that his associate was present at the study
meeting the week before and the Commission indicated their desire to have
this site again reviewed in two years. His associate had stated that within
three years the rear lot would be blacktopped. Mr. Andrew asked Mr. Lindhout
whether this was reasonable in his opinion?
Mr. Lindhout stated that the church would be amenable to this.
Mr. Andrew stated that the other area of concern was landscape planting in
Section #2 which is the immediate rear parking area. This was to be installed
within one year.
Mr. Lindhout thought this was quite difficult to commit the owner to at this time.
Mr. Andrew pointed out that the rear parking area had six planting islands and
he felt that the islands should go in immediately.
9407
Mr. Hand asked Mr. Lindhout whether in conjunction with the paving, if the
L
Commission would allow three years for paving would this give ; them more time
and could they guarantee that the paving and landscaping go in at that time?
Mr. Lindhout stated that he thought the landscape was a modest plan because
of money.

Chairman declared the public hearing closed.

Mayer requesting to rezone property located south of Plymouth
Road, west of Farmington Road in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 33,
from RUF to P.
Mr. Lindhout was present .
Mrs. Taylor asked Mr. Lindhout what the set back was.
Mr. Lindhout stated that it will be a building approximatley 50 wide x 100 long.
✓ The set back is the same as the existing building.
Mr. Andrew asked Mr. Lindhout about the fact that this building was going to be
used for a rental hall.
Mr. Lindhout stated that the petitioner would not use it for a rental hall.
Mr. Merrion wondered whetherthis should be considered for parking when the
Commission had not received any firm plans for the use of this building.
Mr. Andrew stated that is one avenue of approach to the question.
Mr. Pinto stated that if this petition was tabled then the builder of the
building would have to build a protective wall, probably in a spot the builder
obviously would not want to build. If there is a future addition, I cannot
conceive what other or probable classification we could have other than parking.
If we leave it RUF a protective wall will be built isolating it to the rear.
I certainly do not want to see commercial there. I do not think a park site
will be built there.
Mr. Hand asked whether Mr. Lindhout knew what the petitioner wanted to do with
the front part of the building.
Mr. Lindhout stated that unfortunately they did not. He further stated that
they had discouraged him on the principal of a meeting hall. Anything that
IL would go in would be in accordance with the C-2 uses and available parking
for that land.
Mr. Andrew asked whether Mr. Mayer was in the audience.
Mr. Lindhout stated that he was out of town and would be for an extended amount
of time.
4910
Mr. Merrion stated he felt that by zoning this rear portion of land to parking
it would be extending the commercial aspect of this land and he feels there is
too much vacant commercial on Plymouth Road already.
There was no one else wishing to be heard and the Chairman declared the public
hearing closed.
On a motion to table the petition duly made by Mr. Merrion failed because of

Mayer requesting to rezone property located on the south side of
Plymouth Road, west of Farmington Road in the Northeast 1 /4 of
Section 33, from RUF to P, the City Planning Commission does
hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 71-12-1-73 be
approved for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed rezoning will eliminate two non-
compatible zoning classifications existing on
one parcel of land.
(2) The proposed rezoning will provide for uses that
are compatible to the surrounding uses of the area.

utilization and development potential of the
property.

for parking uses needed within the area.

Mr. Lindhout was present and stated that Dr. Ajluni wants to put another
building on this site.
Mr. Barth was present and was representing the maTi building houses on Shadyside.
The builder of this property will abut this parking area. Egress and ingress
should be on Farmington Road and not allowed on Curtis at all.
Mr. Hand stated he failed to understand Mr. Barth's concern since at this
point only parking will go into this "L" shape portion and it would be
screened from curbs.
Mr. Barth stated that when you bild $40,000 homes that people tend to ask
what is going in all around their homes.
Mr. Barth asked whether there were any plans for improving Curtis.
Mr. Nagy stated that drainage is to be installed in summer of 1972 and the

need any more. If they put this wall there it would be 3 feet from her
window. She further stated that the wall should have been put up one year
ago. The parking lots they already have have not been taken care of like
it should have been. It is used for hot rodding and other disturbances.

wall around these three lots so that they could effectively control the use
of these lots while not being used for business.
Mr. Tringali stated he thought they could be. He further stated that he did
not feel that this was a problem.
Mr. Andrew stated that a resident was being annoyed by use of lot during
after hours.
Mr. Hand asked Mr. Tringali if the third lot was put into use would the
wall that would be required be three feet away from Mrs. Buner's window.
Mr. Tringali stated that it could be.
Mr. Hand asked whether Mr. Tringali must put the wall on the property line.
What could be done to give relief.
Mr. Andrew stated that he could voluntarily shift the fence and/or wall to
the south.
Mr Pinto asked whether he could do this legally.
Mr. Andrew stated that the Engineering Department would determine the location
of the wall.
Mr. Nagy read clarification of that law -- to be constructed on easement

M-1.
Mr. Tringali stated he did not. It was intended for parking.
Mrs. Taylor asked Mr. Nagy whether they needed the additional parking.

hours of their operation. He stated that the problem was that this is a 40 ft.
lot and not consistent with the R-1 zoning requirements.
Mr. Pinto asked Mr. Tringali how he felt about putting up a wall three feet
from the lady's window.
Mr. Tringali stated that maybe they could put up rosebushes.

The Chairman declared the motion carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
Mrs. Taylor announced the next item on the agenda, Petition 71-12-1-71 by
Michael Vorgitch to rezone property located at the southeast
corner of Knolson and Ann Arbor Road in the Southwest 1/4 of
Section 31, from C-1 to C-2.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Hand seconded by Mr. Falk and unanimously adopted
it was
##2-47-7.2 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held
on January 11, 1972 on Petition 71-12-1-71 as submitted by
Michael. Vorgitch, 38645 Ann Arbor Road, Livonia 49150,
requesting to rezone property located at the southeast corner
of Knolson and Ann Arbor Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 31,
from C-1 to C-2, the City Planning Commission does hereby
recommend that Petition 71-12-1-71 be denied for the following
reasons:
(1) The proposed change in zoning would be detrimental to
the nearby permitted uses of the area and would tend
to disrupt the stability of the neighboring residential
properties.
(2) The intensity of use as permitted under C-2 zoning
could adversely affect the stability of the adjacent
residential development.
IL; (3) The intensity of use created by C-2 zoning would generate
additional traffic which would tend to overload the
existing roads within the area, particularly Knolson Avenue
which is a residential street and all ingress and egress
to the site will be from Knolson Avenue.
(4) C-2 zoning generally makes provision for more intensified
commercial uses. The increase and influx of traffic into
this area and onto Knolson Avenue could cause a serious
safety problem because Knolson Avenue is inadequate to handle
it and the influx of commercial traffic would also have an
adverse effect upon the stability of the existing residential
neighborhoods located immediately to the south.
(5) The needs of the residents of the area are presently being
adequately serviced by the existing commercial facilities.
There is no need to expand the general commercial development
at the intensity of use permitted under C-2 zoning to satisfy
the needs of Livonia's residents in this sector of the City.
(6) Within this general location of the City there exists a
school and park playground which generates pedestrian traffic
flow into these facilities which could be adversely affected
by high intensity and large volumes of transient traffic that
cannot be properly conveyed on the existing pavements within
the area.
