Mr. Daniel R. Andrew, Chairman, called the Public Hearings and Regular Meeting to order at approximately 8:00 p.m. with approximately 20 interested persons in the audience. Members present: Daniel R. Andrew Joseph J. Talbot Esther Friedrichs Francis M. Hand Suzanne Taylor Charles Pinto Herman H. Kluver David Merrion Joseph J. Falk Members absent: None Messrs. John J. Nagy, Planning Director; Ralph H. Bakewell, Planner IV; H. G. Shane, Planner IV; Robert M. Feinberg, Assistant City Attorney, and Daniel Gilmartin, Industrial Development Coordinator, were also present. Mr. Andrew informed the audience that if the petitions on tonight's agenda involve a question of rezoning or vacating, this body recommends to the City Council that certain action be taken and the Council subsequently decides whether or not a petition is approved or denied, and if a petition for a waiver of use approval is denied, the petitioner has ten days in which to appeal the decision to the City Council. Mr. Kluver, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 71-11-1-51 by Melvyn Eder, D.D.S. , for Lionel F. Fendt, requesting to rezone property located between Farmington Road and Filmore Avenue, north of Curtis Avenue in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 9, from R-3 to P.S. and R-7. Mr. Nagy, Planning Director, stated there is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division indicating that the improvement of Curtis Avenue and Filmore Avenue will be required in connection with the development of the R-7 portion of this petition and that enclosure of the Bietz Drain will be required. He stated that according to the file Consumers Power Company has no objection to this rezoning petition but that there is a petition containing signatures of thirty property owners who do object to the multi-family use but not to a professional building being erected on Farmington Road. Dr. Eder, petitioner, was present and introduced his Architect, Mr. Irving Tobocman, who presented the development plan. Mr. Tobocman stated he is with the firm of Tobocman, Tobocman & Lawrence located in Southfield and has been retained by the Doctor to develop site plans and working drawings for this piece of property. He said they have brought fifteen copies of the proposed site plan with them tonight which they would like very much for the Commission to look at so that they could thoroughly explain their solution to this particular piece of land. 5198 Mr. Andrew, Chairman, stated he has no reason not to look at the site plans but he would like it understood that we are here tonight to discuss a zoning change, not a site plan and if Mr. Tobocman wants to use the site plan to justify the zoning change, he has no objection but he does not want to get into how high the buildings will be or whether there will be one or two bedrooms, etc. • Mr. Tobocman stated the site is an irregular shaped site as can be seen, with the Beitz Drain that bisects the land at the northwesterly side paralleling Filmore Avenue. There is a high plateau of land that is projected for the professional service office buildings; then there is a very steep, eight or ten feet, drop across the back end and then on a plateau to the drain and very quickly raises up to Filmore. He stated the land as it sets right now is not really set up to be developed for single-family residential because of the topography and location of the drain. With the very difficult and steep site grade that happens from Filmore down to the center portion of the section which they have proposed for the R-7 zoning, there is no way they could possibly get across short of filling the land with a 7' concrete pipe and then covering that up and then trying to build any kind of house over that drain. Mr. Tobocman said that, consequently, the back approximately 140' or 150' is not suitable for single-family housing and they feel there should be no problem for professional service offices and that the proper usage has been petitioned for. Mr. Tobocman stated that their plan shows parking lots and buildings and a pretty good representation of the lay of that land and they would tike to intrude upon the natural topography and beauty of the land as little as possible and would like a body of water there and would leave all the trees. He said there is a natural transitional area here and it would be difficult to sell single-family houses here which he believes the members of the Commission would agree with. They feel P.S. is the proper usage for this land and the natural type of development on this land would then lend itself to a buffer type separat.r ing the single-family from the other development. Mr. Andrew questioned what proposal Mr. Tobocman has in mind for the improvement of Curtis . Mr. Tobocman stated that, quite frankly, they would do everything that had to be done as required by the City but if Mr. Andrew is asking if they will put in the street, he is sorry he can't answer that; he believes the street now is unpaved but they have not discussed that question. Mrs. Taylor questioned if, in order to pave the street, would the road have to be brought up and the drain under it. Mr. Nagy stated the drain would be enclosed as it traverses across Curtis and retained in a storm sewer but that he is not qualified to say whether the road would be raised; that would be an engineering matter. Mr. Tobocman stated there is a culvert that passes under the street now and it • is no lower through here than it is in any other area. Their proposal, they anticipate, will not cause the street to be raised very much. Mr. Andrew asked if the existing culvert would be extended beneath the parking lot. Mr. Tobocman stated, yes, and they would work very closely with the City Engineer in this regard. 5199 Mr. Andrew asked Mr. Tobocman if, in his preliminary evaluation of the property, he had considered eliminating the P.S. on Farmington Road and turning that into R-7. Mr. Tobocman stated, no, they feel the professional service offices along Farmington Road seem to be a natural for that five-lane highway but he doesn't say that the continuation of the R-7 doesn't have merit; they j ust• didn't attack it from that point. Mr. Andrew stated his assumption that Dr. Eder would have offices in this building. Mr. Tobocman stated he would assume so. Mr. Andrew stated he noticed that the drawing indicates there is 21,000 square feet with 16 ,000 square feet available for rental and he assumes these are not medical offices. Mr. Tobocman stated the ground floor is planned for six 1,000 square foot medical offices; the second floor would be 17,000 gross area which makes about 15,000 square feet of rental area for uses other than medical. Mrs. Emma Williams, 18358 Filmore, was present and stated most of the people in the neighborhood are retired people and do not want this development because of the traffic that would be created and the cost of improving the street. Mr. Tobocman stated that, in answer to the concern of the lady for the traffic through the existing neighborhoods, their site plan shows two parking lots, both of which empty onto Curtis. The natural flow of traffic would be from Farmington Road west on Curtis to the two outlets into the parking lots and there would be no reason for anyone to drive through the neighborhoods. Mrs. Williams asked about the paving of the street. Mr. Tobocman stated he did not know about that. Mr. Andrew said that is a big problem, and he thinks the Commission would like an explanation as to how the City acquires the other half right-of-way on Curtis and once it is acquired, how do we improve it. Mr. Tobocman stated that it will never be improved unless there is some develop- ment and if the City wants a gravel road there forever, that is what it will be. He stated they will be happy to make a contribution; this land is too valuable to sit there and grow weeds and some day someone will come in with a proposal and he believes the City and this body will look forward to it. Mr. Andrew stated he is not convinced that 200' strip on Farmington Road should be rezoned to professional service. It would appear to him that if this should be approved, we will be well on our way to making Farmington nothing but a pro- fessional strip and he doesn't think, in his mind, that that is a good thing to do. Mr. Tobocman said the apartments can be extended to Farmington Road and that a • good point has been brought up - that is, that if his development was contiguous with Farmington Road, the problems of Farmington Road are solved at this point and it doesn't seem that this piece of land will ever be developed for single family residential. 5200 Dr. Eder_stated he would like to reconfirm Mr. Tobocman's statement; about that 200' strip along Farmington Road -- he doesn't know if there are ways to work out anything, but there is no firm size of buildings or plans as to the exact nature of the proposed buildings. When he first saw this piece of property and brought in experts to look at it, one of the things they considered is that fact that if they eventually would have an opportunity to build some multi-family, it would be shielded from surrounding homes. He stated he lives in single-family himself and would not like to look at a multi-family development, but anything in there will be beautiful and lend it self to the site as it exists. Mr. Tobocman stated that if the road becomes one that seems to be insurmountable, they could easily adapt this plan so that there will be a roa:ithrough with no contact with Curtis Avenue and perhaps solve the problem of that road. There was no one else present wishing to be heard with regard to this petition. Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the public hearing on this petition closed. On a motion duly made by Mr. Falk and seconded by Mr. Kluver, it was RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held on December 19, 1972 on Petition 72-11-1-51 as sub- mitted by Melvyn Eder, D.D.S. , for Lionel F. Fendt, re- questing to rezone property located between Farmington Road and Filmore Avenue, north of Curtis Avenue in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 9, from R-3 to P.S. and R-7, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 72-11-1-51 be denied for the following reasons : (1) The proposed zoning changes would be detrimental to the surrounding uses of the area. (2) The proposed zoning changes would not provide for the orderly growth and development of the surrounding area. (3) The proposed zoning changes would provide for an increase in intensity of use thereby burdening the public utilities and roads in the area which are not capable of handling an increase in intensity of use. (4) The abutting roads, Curtis and Filmore, are not improved to such an extent so as to accommodate an increase in intensity of use other than single-family residential. A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following: AYES: Taylor, Falk, Kluver NAYS: Merrion, Pinto, Talbot, Friedrichs, Andrew ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: Hand Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the resolution fails for lack of support. • 5201 On a motion duly made by Mr. Pinto and seconded by Mr. Talbot, it was lb; #12-338-72 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held on December 19, 1972 on Petition 72-11-1-51 as sub- mitted by Melvyn Eder, D.D.S. , for Lionel F.

Mr. Pinto stated that, the matter having been tabled, he would like to suggest that the petitioner be invited to a study session and also a representative group of the people in the area, perhaps two or three people, and the only reason he suggests a small number is because of the small size of the room the Planning Commission holds meetings in. He said if the people develop a list of people and let the Planning Director know who they are, they will be contacted as to the date of the meeting when this item will be discussed. Mr. Andrew stated that this item will be considered at the January 9, 1973 study meeting in the Planning Offices at 13325 Farmington Road and those persons giving their names will be notified. Mr. Kluver, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 72-11-2-37 by Jack Vadori requesting to be granted a waiver use approval to erect and operate an auto-electric repair shop on property located on the south side of Schoolcraft Road, east of Newburgh Road in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 29 . Mr. Nagy informed the Commission there is a letter in the file from the Engineering Divison referring to possible problems relative to the storm drainage, and a letter from Consumers Power Company stating they have no objections to the proposed change. Mr. Jack Vadori, petitioner, was present and stated this will be a motor shop specializing in auto tune-up, generator work and light repair such as air conditioning. 5202 Mr. Andrew questioned if this will be a six-day a week operation. 1110 Mr. Vadori stated, yes. Mr. Hand stated that, looking at the plan at Tenant 'A' and 'B' , is he to assnmP that Mr. Vadori is leasing a portion of this building for another use. • Mr. Vadori stated, yes, but there is nobody in 'B' yet. Mr. Nagy stated that it was built as a speculative building with no known tenants. Mr. Talbot asked if there would be any outside storage of any kind. Mr. Vadori stated, no, none whatsoever; you wouldn't even know they are operating there. There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this item. Mr. Andrew, Chairman, stated the public hearing is closed on this petition. On a motion duly made by Mr. Hand, seconded by Mr. Pinto and unanimously adopted it was #12-4339-72 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a public hearing having been held on December 19, 1972 on Petition 72-11-2-37 as submitted by Jack Vadori requesting to be granted a waiver use approval to erect and operate an auto-electric repair shop on property located on the south side of Schoolcraft Road, east of Newburgh Road in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 29, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 72-11-2-37 be approved subject to the following conditions : (1) That Site Plan #1272, dated 10/11/72, which is hereby approved, shall be adhered to.

Mr. Talbot asked if he correctly understands that the building has been started and, if so, would they come before the Commission for an extension of the land- scaping condition. Mr. Nagy stated, yes, the building has been started and they would be issued a temporary permit by the Building Department if the landscaping cannot be installed due to the winter season. Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted. Mr. Rluver announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 72-11-2-38 by Christ Papatheodore requesting to be granted a waiver use approval to operate a Coney Island Restaurant proposed to be located within the Merri-Five Shopping Plaza located at the northeast corner of Five Mile Road and Merriman Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 14. Mr. Andrew asked the petitioner how soon the landlord said the structure could be used for the restaurant. Mr. Papatheodore, petitioner, was present and stated he has had a lease for two months. Mr. Andrew asked if he has started to install equipment yet. Mr. Papatheodore stated, no. Mr. Andrew requested to know what the hours of operation will be. Mr. Papatheodore stated they would be open from 5:00 a.m. up to 11:00 p.m. , and closed on Sundays. He stated they also have a breakfast menu and the traffic there would bring in the breakfast trade. Mr. Andrew asked how many employees there will be. Mr. Papatheodore said he didn't know; it will seat about sixty people. Mr. Andrew stated that the Commission has a difficulty with this request relative to the number of parking spaces within the Shopping Center. He said, theoretically or legally, the Commission cannot grant this request because there may be an insufficient number of parking spaces available and the Commission has suggested to the landlord that the Building Department be requested to make a physical inspection of all the existing uses that are presently in the Shopping Center and to determine exactly how many parking spaces must be allocated to each of those uses. Then the Commission will be in a position to know whether or not there is a sufficient number of spaces and if they meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. He stated he knows this means a time delay to Mr. Papatheodore but the Commission has no choice in the matter. Mr. Papatheodore stated the landlord has extended the lot for more parking spaces on the right side of his site. 5204 Mr. Nagy stated that every available parking space has been counted; the new area as well as the area in back. Mr. Andrew suggested that Mr. Papatheodore keep in contact with Mr. Nagy, Planning Director, regarding this situation. There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this item. Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the public hearing on this item closed.

Zawideh requesting to be granted a waiver use approval to construct an addition to an existing restaurant (Masters) located on the south side of Seven Mile Road, east of Melvin Avenue in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 11. Mr. Nagy stated that a letter in the file from the Engineering Division notes that Seven Mile Road has not been dedicated to its fullest extent of sixty feet and there are no other engineering problems connected with this proposal. He said according to Consumer Power Company's letter in the file, they have no objections to this petition. Mr. Andrew asked how much right-of-way is needed. Mr. Nagy stated, twenty-seven feet. he Mr. Andrew asked the petitioner if/could speak for the owner regarding the granting of the right-of-way. The petitioner, Mr. Zawideh, indicated that he could. The Commission discussed the site plan submitted by the petitioner. Mr. Nagy stated that the landscaping is not efficient. Mr. Andrew asked when the lease expires on the east that is being used for parking. 5205 1r Mr. Zawideh stated this is a verbal agreement with Mr. Ferrara; month by month. Mr. Nagy stated that the site itself is sufficient to accommodate their parking but if they lose this area that is being leased, it would necessitate a re-arrangement. The site itself has the capacity to accommodate the parking. Mr. Hand questioned if this area is currently leased or is the petitioner negotiating to lease it. Mr. Zawideh stated it is currently being leased and has been for the last five years. There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.

Mr. Hand suggested that perhaps it would be in the petitioner's best interest if he- were to design his parking exluding that leased area. Mr. Nagy stated the petitioner said he is leasing that area and he will continue to use it, but it was recommended by the Department that he doesn't use it. Mr. Zawideh stated he has 124 spaces without the one on the side.

Mrs. Taylor requested to know if there has been any investigation as to the request of the Police Department regarding the extension of the roads for access into the area. Mr. Andrew stated if there has, he would like a professional opinion from Mr. Nagy. Mr. Nagy stated that, at the time this matter was before the Commission three years ago, that matter was evaluated and it was felt that the lands to the east would not be used for small lot development and for that reason there is no need to.extend the roads in that area. Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted. Mr. Kluver announced the next item on the agenda is a motion by the City Planning Commission to hold a public hearing to determine whether or not to amend Part VIII of the Master Plan of the City of Livonia, the Master Library Plan, so as to delete property located on the north side of Six Mile Road, east of 111; Newburgh Road in the Southwest 1/4 of.
