dated April 23, 1982 indicating there are no engineering problems
connected with this petition.
Mr. Keith E. Mino, 18493 Farmington Road, Livonia: I would be interested in construct-
ing a professional structure on this site. I own Lots 185, 186 and
187 behind the site. These are vacant lots. I live on the site
presently. I will remove the home when I build the building .
Mr. Zimmer: How long have you owned the property in question?
Mr. Mino: Nine years. The house was on it when I bought it .
Mr. Zimmer: You have not built anything on the property since you bought it?
Mr. Mino: No, the house was there when we got there.
Mrs. Scurto: Do you foresee changing the zoning on those back lots to parking
later on? .
tMr. Mino: I will have all the parking I need right on the present site. I do
not intend to use those for parking.
7678
Mrs. Scurto: Do you anticipate a medical facility or office?
Mr. Mino: I figure a small medical facility.
ILIMrs. Scurto: Is there sufficient land for medical parking?
Mr. Nagy: A small medical office could be constructed with supporting off-
street parking.

Road and Pickford in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 9, from R-3 to
P.S. , the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the
City Council that Petition 82-4-1-6 be approved for the following
reasons:
(1) The proposed zoning district will provide for uses recommended
by the Future Land Use Plan.
(2) The proposed zoning will provide for uses that will be compatible
to the abutting residential neighborhood.
(3) The proposed zoning is consistent with the Planning Commission 's
adopted goals and policies regarding the location of office uses
along major thoroughfares to act as buffer uses between heavily
travelled major thoroughfares and residential uses.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above public hearing was given
in accordance with the provisions of Section 23.06 of Zoning Ordinance
#543, as amended.
Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
Mr. Andrew, Chairman, announced that Petition 82-4-1-7 has been withdrawn as requested
by Mr. Robert Serota in a letter dated May 13, 1982.
Mr. Falk, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 82-4-2-10
by Tony Piccirilli and John Morano requesting waiver use approval to
operate an auto repair and body shop within an existing building located
on the east side of Merriman Road between Schoolcraft and Plymouth Roads
in Section 26.
Ms. Kathleen McCann, 15195 Farmington Road, Livonia, was present representing the
petitioners.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter in the file from Gary Clark, Division of Engineering,
and a letter from Mr. Kerby, Bureau of Inspection, dated May 16, 1982.
4 Mr. Andrew: The freezer storage building is which building?
Mr. Nagy: The 39' x 60' building.
7679
Ms. McCann: I am not aware of the storm sewer problem, however, I feel we can work
Ito something out with the pre° ent landlord. We are requesting a waiver
for an auto repair and body shop. The building is structurally sound.
The landscaping and parking lot are in poor condition. We plan on up-
grading that.
Mr. Bernard Remer, Remer & Weber, Architects, Berkley, Michigan: You have before you
the thoughts on landscaping. The building that Mr. Kerby refers to has
a rigid steel structure although the exterior panels are not properly
attached to the frame. We propose to attach those panels properly.
*Mr. Kluver entered the meeting at 8:23 p.m.
Mr. Andrew: Is that part of this development?
Ms. McCann: Yes, however, we plan to reattach the panels and repaint the entire
exterior. In the future, we propose concrete block around it .
Mrs. Scurto: Part of Mr. Kerby's letter states that the building should be demolished
and removed. I hear two entirely different opinions.
Mr. Nagy: Mr. Kerby was not inside the building. He made a "windshield observa-
tion!'
bserva-
tion:'
Mr. Andrew: Have you talked to Mr. Kerby?
Mr. Remer: No, although I know Mr. Kerby has not been in the building .
Mr. Andrew: The asphalt needs to be resurfaced.
Ms. McCann: We can take care of that.
Mr. Andrew: Are you satisfied with the landscaping?
Mr. Nagy: We are satisfied that the site plan provides for good landscaping.
Mr. Andrew: Is the sign in conformity?
Mr. Nagy: Yes.
Mrs. Scurto: What about the "junk" that was left?
Mr. Remer: That will be taken care of prior to occupancy.
Mrs. Scurto: The distance between the little building and the big building, I thought,
was about 10 feet.
Mr. Remer: 16 feet.
Mrs. Scurto: I was concerned about a tow truck with car attached getting in there and
turning around. 16' would be adequate.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Can we expect a shape-up of this site within six months?
Mr. Piccirilli : Yes, sir.

Mr. Andrew: It is understood that the existing asphalt parking area and driveway
shall be resurfaced within two weeks from the date of approval of this
petition and reflected on the site plan.

Mr. Andrew, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution adopted.
Mr. Falk, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 82-4-3-1 by
the City Planning Commission pursuant to Council Resolution #231-82
requesting the vacating of an alley located north of Joy Road between
Middlebelt and Fremont Avenue in the Southeast l/4 of Section 35.
Mr. Nagy: We have a letter dated April 28, 1982 from Gary Clark, a letter from the
Superintendent of Public Services, Mr. Gronevelt, a letter dated May 10,
1982 from Mr. Dujsik of the Detroit Edison Company, and a letter from
Mr. Turner of Consumers Power Company.
Mr. Ptasnik, Attorney for Joseph Sergi : In response to the several questions, primarily
as far as access for municipal service to the north/south alley between
Fremont and Middlebelt running parallel to Middlebelt, that alley has not
seen much maintenance. There is an access from Dover, an east/west road
north of Joy. As far as turn-around, there is a parking lot behind the
larger commercial structure on the corner of Middlebelt and Joy as that
parking lot is unblocked. There is no barricade; there would be an open
I: access to the west/south alley and at any time provide a turn-around. The
alley is nothing more than a dustpan. It is a health hazard and it is not
maintained properly. The alley has no benefit to the commercial properties
to the south. One commercial property may be served by it and that is the
bike store. As we have tried to demonstrate, there is a parking facility.
It will not be affected by the vacating. The City will be relieved of the
responsibility of maintaining it. Taxpayers ' money is used to clear it.
That will not be the case any longer.
Mr. Andrew: What are your client 's lot numbers?
Mr. Ptasnik: My client owns Lot 64 which is zoned as parking and the commercial lots
which I believe are Lots 53-58.
Mr. Andrew: Your client does not own anything fronting on Middlebelt north?
Mr. Ptasnik: No.
Mrs. Scurto: Who owns Lot 52?
Mr. Ptasnik: Mr. Schwartz.
Mrs. Scurto: The Rent-It-Shop Lots 59-63 -- are any of these owned by the petitioner?
Mr. Ptasnik: No. The adjacent parking and storage area for the Rent-It-Shop is fenced
off from the alley being vacated. They have other accesses.
Mr. Zimmer: Does Mr. Sergi own the entire block?
4
4
Mr. Ptasnik: He is the fee title holder.
7682
Mr. Andrew: Essentially all of the property between Fremont and Middlebelt from Joy
and at least one lot north to the proposed alley is owned or controlled
by your client.
Mr. Ptasnik: Correct.
Mr. Zimmer: Many times I use that alley when I leave the Rent-It-Shop. It is more
convenient to turn when I have something on the back of my car. I can 't
turn around within the lot . It is not true that you can exit onto Joy
Road with something hooked on the car. Is the property north of the Rent-
It-Shop yard owned by one of the petitioners?
Mr. Ptasnik: They have fee title. They are not interested in decreasing the value of
the leasehold of the tenants.
Mr. Andrew: If that is an established fact, our primary concern should be what effect,
if any, the vacating of that alley will have on Fremont or Middlebelt
users that may have to take access off that north side of the alley.
Mrs. Scurto: I note Lots 66 through 69 are the most vulnerable. What about fire pro-
tection?
Mr. Andrew: The lots are only 124 feet deep and access would come from the street side.
Mr. Ptasnik: There is access to the parking lots. These parking lots are the life's
blood of the commercial . There are at least four curb cuts to the park-
ing. There are two existing on Joy and one or two possibly on the corner.
This is not to destroy the public's access. The alley is an eyesore and
there is continued dust.
Mr. Vyhnalek: How do you intend to improve it?
a
Mr. Ptasnik: We plan, in the future, to add on to the commercial building and provide
paved parking.
Mr. Morrow: You plan to improve the alley and yet apparently it would be treated as
a public thoroughfare.
Mr. Ptasnik: The western section would be used and improved. The eastern section is
already paved. It is not in an unreasonable state. That character would
not be altered. The public will have use of that alley. The Fremont
residents would like to see that north/south alley vacated. You may be
faced with a petition to vacate that. The light commercial needs the
parking. They have nowhere else to go. A semi could use either the
southern or northern portion.
Mr. Zimmer: Lot 64 on Fremont is owned by one of the petitioners?
Mr. Ptasnik: That is correct.
Mr. Zimmer: What is it zoned right now?
Mr. Ptasnik: Parking.
7683
Mr. Gillelan, 8861 Middlebelt, Livonia: We own the business and Lots 52 through 64.
Apparently this gentlemen hasn't been down to see the area. The alley
was just road graded. Trucks use it all the time. People park in our
parking lot all the time. They park and walk to the ice cream store.
They park along side of building. If they close it off there won 't be
any parking at all . I don't understand why he wants to close it off. If
ib, it is too dusty, let them pavethe other part . We are in opposition. We
utilize this alley and it would be detrimental to close it.
Mr. Vyhnalek: How wide is the alley?
Mr. Gillelan: Pretty wide - 20 feet. A road grader goes down and turns around. The
bike shop unloads. The beauty shop people use the alley.
Mrs. Scurto: Counsellor told us earlier that the petitioner owns the property both to
the north and south of the alley.
Mr. Gillelan: We own the land north of the alley for the distance of the first lot
facing Middlebelt.
Mr. Nagy: The Proof of Service shows the Gillelans own the property.
Mr. Ptasnik: I am sorry for that error. My client would be interested in withdrawal .

Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 82-4-3-1 closed .
