Mr. Andrew then informed the audience that if a Petition on tonight's agenda involves
a rezoning request, this Commission only makes a recommendation to the City Council,
who in turn will then hold their own Public Hearing and decide the question. If a
petition involves a waiver use request, and the petition is denied by the Planning
Commission, the petitioner then has ten days in which to appeal for relief. Other-
wise the petition is terminated.
10 Mr. Falk, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 81-9-1-21
initiated by Council Resolution #866-81 to rezone property located on the
north side of Munger between Middlebelt Road and Oporto in the Northeast

John Kolewski: I was interested in the limitations of the PS designation.
29640 Munger
Mr. Andrew: Under the ordinance, in the PS zoning, accounting, doctors, lawyers,
professional people, would have offices. With a waiver use, general
office use would be allowed. That would include clubs, fraternal
organizations and the like. •
Mr. Kolewski: There would be no residential use of the property.
•
Mr. Andrew: No. The superintendent of schools requested the rezoning. Council
acted on that request.
Mr. Kolweski: I have attended the Board meetings. I was concerned about something
possibly farther down the road.

Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that

existing established commercial uses of the adjoining area to the
north and east.
(2) The proposed change of zoning to the P.S. classification will provide
for the most compatible and alternative use for the existing structure.
(3) The proposed change of zoning will not adversely affect the surrounding
residential area as the site has the capacity to support the uses that
the proposed change of zoning will allow.

compatible to and in harmony with the established surrounding
IL uses of the area.

Company to rezone property located on the northwest corner of Schoolcraft
Service Drive and Merriman Road in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 22, from
C-1 to C-2.
Mr. Nagy: The City of Livonia's Engineering Division advises there are no engineering
problems connected with this proposal.
Mr. Bernie Whitman: We are attempting to modernize and improve the present
IL 4850 E. 49th St. facility. We will be razing and rebuilding the project.
Cleveland, Ohio 44125 We will sell gasoline only. We will have a 30' x 90' canopy.
for Boron We are presently a nonconforming use. In order to totally
reconstruct the property properly we have to have a C-2
zoning. We have submitted a plan.
Mr. Andrew: I would prefer to look at the plan when you come back before us for site
plan approval. When do you plan to start.
Robert Cogan: As soon as the weather breaks next spring.
6050 Bush
Columbus, Ohio
Mr. Zimmer: Who owns the property?
Mr. Whitman: It is owned and operated by Boron.
Mr. Falk: Will this be self service and full service on the other end? Will you be
selling food products inside?
Mr. Whitman: The station will be completely self service. We will sell cigarettes, milk,
beverages and some bakery items.
Mr. Falk: What are the hours of operation?
Mr. Whitman: No less than 16 hours a day. The station at Eight and Middlebelt is 24 hours.
H. Garlacz:IL We already have a Total station in the area. The area is terribly
13950 Merriman congested now. There are many accidents. We don't need anymore traffic.
Bei Lynn Party Store I have trouble with the bottles from Total already. They refuse to
take all bottles back.
7586
Mr. Falk: Do you have to sell other merchandise beside petroleum products?
Mr. Whitman: The convenience foods are incidental to selling gasoline. If there would
be food, grocery items, etc. it will be very small amount. The building
is less than 400 square feet. The same things are being sold there now.
Cigarettes are a big seller. Ninety-five percent of the items are sold
to our customers purchasing the gas. It is not walk in customers we sell
to. Our gasline customers pay their bill and pick up milk, bread and a
pack of cigarettes.
Mr. Falk: Total has been broken into and they are stealing cigarettes. Kids go
buy their cigarettes at gas stations because no one is checking on them.
Mr. Garlacz: I was broken into Monday morning. Total loads their gas at 7 p.m. The
gas fumes are terrible. My customers and myself cannot stand the fumes.
I have called the police. Gasoline and food products do not mix together.
Mr. Andrew: You should talk to the fire marshall.
Mr. Cogan: At our new sites a vapor recovery unit is used. The vapors go back into
the tank. Apparently Total doesn't have it as yet. A law will probably
go into effect at the end of this year requiring this unit.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this petition.
Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the public hearing on this item closed.

Road between Schoolcraft and Capital in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 28.
Mr. Nagy: We have a letter dated October 27, 1981 from Engineering. We have a
letter from Wheel Dressing Inc., 33180 Industrial Road. They own the
property that borders this and are objecting to the petition.
' Brian Lucid: I plan to put up a privacy fence or close in the area in the rear of
) 11305 Ingram the building. I proposed at least a 10 foot high hardwood or similar
;Livonia material. This should hide the insightly cars. I am the lessee. Mr.
Vandenberg is the owner and he has seen the City about the drainage and
paving. He is planning to get it in proper order in the next six months.
Mr. Andrew: I note two driveways onto Farmington Road. They are not paved. Do they
exist now?
Mr. Lucid: They exist. The owner is going to try to keep both those entrances.
Mr. Andrew: Do you propose a sign?
Mr. Lucid: I will try to get with the owner of the building. I will stay within
what is required.
Mr. Andrew: Are you familiar with Joe's Trailer Service?
Mr. Lucid: No.
Mr. Andrew: Who is the owner of the building?
Mr. Frank: The owner of Joe's trailer is the owner of the building at the present
time. He is the lessor to Mr. Lucid.
Ir. Andrew: What kind of trailers are repaired there?
Mr. Nagy: Some small construction and utility trailers.
Falk: Are you in business right now?
7591
Mr, Lucid: In Westland. In the past we have dealt with foreign and exotic sport
cars. That is the type of autos we are going to try to capture.
1'14"
Falk: How long have you been in business?
Mr. Lucid: About a year.
Mr. Falk: Will you do any collision work on anything other than foreign cars?
Mr. Lucid: We will take anything else. We will do limited body repairs. In the
future we hope to get into some customizing. We will do no mechanical
work. We do not have oil catchers in the drain. We would like to get
into limousine fabrication someday.
Mr. Falk: Will you have paint ovens?
Mr. Lucid: Portable one.
Mr. Falk: Do you have enough room inside?
Mr. Lucid: We did some measuring. With the paint booth we can still store
between three and five cars indoors. With the privacy area in the
back we have room for 15 or 20 cars.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Is there a height limitation of a fence?
Mr. Nagy: A security fence can be 10 feet.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Are the other buildings leased?
4
Mr. Frank: There will be a furniture resonation in the 40 foot building. The
70 foot building is still vacant.
Mr. Zimmer: You can drive a car in one side of the building and out the other.
Mr. Lucid: Yes.
Mr. Zimmer: On the one side of the building is it possible to drive into the
privacy area.
Mr. Lucid: It is possible. We do not plan to use the one door often. The paint
booth will be on the other side also. We will use the door in the rear.
Mr. Zimmer: Are there any exterior building modifications?
Mr. Lucid: No exterior. In the interior a few things we have to do before
Certification of Occupancy can be obtained.
Mr. Zimmer: The drive and park way is going to be paved.
Mr. Lucid: Within six months.
Mr. Zimmer: No problem with conditioning that.
'Mr. Lucid: One condition of the sale of building.
Mr. Zimmer: There are a number of additions to firm up this site plan that need to
be done. We need some detail on the landscaping.
7592
Mr. Lucid: I went to the City and they could find no history on this building.
IL Mr. Andrew: When does the owner propose to pave the parking lot?
Mr. Frank: As soon as the weather breaks. Plans have been submitted to Engineering
for the storm sewer.
Mr. Andrew: What is the area marked landscape?
Mr. Frank: That is the present landscape.
Mr. Andrew: Can the owner furnish us with the landscape plan?
Mr. Frank: I imagine he can.
Mr. Falk: Will there be additional ventilation?
Mr. Lucid: No. NuProcess had a paint booth. All the vents are still there.
No changes except the fence.
Mrs. Scurto: There are no plans on record of the building elevation or landscaping
in connection with this building.
Mr. Nagy: Initially there were. The building is at least 15 years old and records
are not kept that long.
Mrs. Scurto: I am not satisfied with the physical appearance of this building when
we have done so much with the people along here. How long has the new
owner had the building?
Mr. Frank: Two or three weeks now.
Mrs. Sobolewski: This 50 x 50 fenced area will be for your own exclusive use.
Mr. Lucid: Yes. I am putting it in.
Ed. Burger: I own lot 3. We object to this proposed use. It will devaluate our
26645 W. 12 Mi. property. It is an inappropriate use for site. It affects 5 or more
Southfield adjacent property owners. It is not harmonious with Livonia's development.
48074 The letter I submitted from Wheel Dressing. They are the new owners
of Lot 2 and they did not receive a notice of the meeting.
Mr. Andrew: Is your building up?
Mr. Burger: The plans are at the Architect's.
Mr. Capp: We own Lots 7, 8, 9 north of this property. We knocked down an old
Northwest Blue- home on part of our property. We thought it unsightly. It was an
print income home of about $200 but we took it down anyway. We have a rather
13450 Farming- nice looking building. We are an international business. People
ton, Livonia from all over the world come to our building. We tell them Livonia
is near Detroit. We do not wish them to have a look at Livonia and
think it compares with Detroit. We do not want anything that would
116, ruin the image of the area we have built the image of Livonia.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Have you notice any trailers from the storage facility?
7593
Mr. Capp: I haven't from our side of the building. We are glad to see the building
isn't vacant. We encourage new business but this is not the right choice.
Z
'Mr. Andrew: How did Joe's Trailer get in?
1[10
,Mr. Nagy: They manufacture trailers.
Mr. Andrew: How long have they been there?
Mr. Frank: They are not in yet.
Mr. Andrew: I am concerned with Joe's Trailer. I would like Mr. Nagy to meet with
Mr. Kerby about a certficate of zoning compliance.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Where is Joe's Trailer now?
Mr. Frank: On Harper in St. Clair Shores.
Geo. Friess: I represent owners of Lots 10, 11, 12, 13,14, and 15. Along
33801 Argonee Schoolcraft our Lots 10 and 11 abut this property. We plan to
Farmington Hills build a four-story office building. It represents a $5 million
investment. We will have windows on all four sides. This use
of the land adjacent to our land would be detrimental. We will
build within 150 feet of this property and the area for storage is
adjacent to our property.
Vince Pollicella: We are concerned with the landscaping. We have recently invested
t1t
Futurama Eng. money in the front of ours. We do not approve of this.
12911 Farmington
Mr. Andrew: What about outside lights?
Mr. Lucid: There are some over the doorways that face south and west.
They shine down on the office area and down onto the parking area.
Mr. Andrew: Are you going to hard surface the 50 x 50 fence3 area.
Mr. Lucid: Presently there is some concrete toward the fence line. There is an
apron back there. We would utilize the area that is presently concrete.
Mr. Vyhnalek: How much trash are you going to have?
Mr. Lucid: We will share one large dumpster with the owner. It will be in the
rear of the building, between building and privacy fenced area.
Mr. Vyhnalek: What about the other tenants when they come?
Mr. Lucid: We will have very little trash. Most of our materials will be hard
and will be hauled away.
Mr. Falk: Presently do you have a lease agreement that you want to terminate
in Westland.
Ur.
Lucid: Yes. I would like January 1 occupancy here.
r. Falk: You still have an option to pick up your lease. As oneCommissioner I
am concerned with all the adjacent property owners. I cannot turn
all these surrounding property owners down. They have a fixed investment
already.
7594
Mr. Kluver: I am concerned about Joe's Trailer Service.
•
Mr. Zimmer: These plans are inadequate for us to act favorable. There is not enough
L
detail. I think you should get with the Planning Dept. and detail those
things that need to be shown us.
Mr. Andrew: By embellishing on your plan does not mean the Commission will act
favorably on that new plan. I would like to invite the owner of the
property to attend.
There was no one else withing to be heard regarding this petition.
