1[ 4.0 MINUTES OF THE 518th REGULAR MEETING
AND PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD BY THE CITY
PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
LIVONIA
On Tuesday, June 17, 1986, the City Planning Commission of the City of Livonia held
its 518th Regular Meeting and Public Hearings in the Livonia City Hall, 33000 Civic
Center Drive, Livonia, Michigan.
Mr. R. Lee Morrow, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. with approx-
imately 35 interested persons in the audience.
Members present: R. Lee Morrow Donald Vyhnalek Sue Sobolewski
C. Russ Smith Donna Naidow Michael Soranno
Members absent: *Herman Kluver Michael Duggan Jeanne Hildebrandt
Messrs. John J. Nagy, Planning Director; H. G. Shane, Assistant Planning Director,
and Ralph H. Bakewell, Planner IV were also present.
Mr. Morrow informed the audience that if a petition on tonight's agenda involves a
rezoning request or a subdivision, this Commission only makes a recommendation to
the City Council who, in turn, will hold its own public hearing and decide the
question. If a petition involves a waiver of use request and the request is denied, the
petitioner has ten days in which to appeal the decision to the City Council; otherwise
the petition is terminated. The Commission holds the only public hearing on a pre-
liminary plat.
1:
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda is Petition
86-4-1-18 by the City Planning Commission to rezone property located
on the east side of Horton Avenue, south of Ann Arbor Road in the
Northeast 1/4 of Section 31 from C-1 to R-1.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division stating
that they have no objection to the proposal and a letter from the
Zoning Board of Appeals indicating their feeling that this lot could not
be used for any commercial purpose due to its size and that the Board
feels it should be rezoned back to the R-1 zoning classification.
There was no one present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-4-1-18 closed.
*Mr. Kluver entered the meeting at 7:06 p.m.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Vyhnalek and seconded by Mr. Smith, it was
#{6-154-86 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on June 17, 1986
on Petition 86-4-1-18 by the City Planning Commission to rezone
property located on the east side of Horton Avenue, south of Ann
Arbor Road in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 31 from C-1 to R-1, the
City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council
that Petition 86-4-1-18 be approved for the following reasons:
9675
(1) The proposed change of zoning will provide a zoning district
that is compatible with the existing use of the subject
property.
(2) The subject site is not of sufficient size to be developed
for uses permitted by the C-1 Zoning District.
(3) The proposed zoning district is the same as the abutting
district to the south and east.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 23.05 of Zoning Ordinance #543.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Vyhnalek, Smith, Soranno, Sobolewski, Naidow, Morrow
NAYS: None
ABSTAIN: Kluver
ABSENT: Duggan, Hildebrandt
Mr. Morrow, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-5-1-22
by Thomas Guastello requesting to rezone property located on the east
side of Middlebelt Road, north of Schoolcraft Road in the Southwest 1/4
of Section 24 from R-7 to P.S.
1;
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division stating
they have no objection to this proposal. There is a letter in the
file from James P. Riley of Mike Kelley's Restaurant urging approval
of this petition by the Commission, and a letter from Oak Creek
Medical Center indicating their support of the petition.
Thomas Guastello, 38200 South Gratiot, Mt. Clemens: We have owned this property for a
number of years and have actively pursued the best use for the
property. We have come to the conclusion that some of the things
that make the property unattractive for multiple family development
are the accessibility to Schoolcraft and Middlebelt and I-96. Those
things act as a deterrent to multiple development. As a result of a
study we had made, we feel this would be an excellent location for
offices similar to the type built in Laurel Park and on Farmington
Road. We think an advantage to the community with office develop-
ment is that there would not be week-end traffic or even the traffic
that multiples would have. We have a layout which we can show you
if necessary, but we are not asking site plan approval at this time.
This property is bordered by Chi Chi's, Mike Kelley's and twenty-
one homes. The I-96 Freeway is recognizable as a good way to get
to Southfield, Detroit and other communities. Should we go through
this step, the next step will be site plan approval and we realize
there will be concerns at that time by the neighbors and we will
140 address those concerns then.
Mr. Morrow: You are thinking of a one-story office building, residential in
9676
nature. Is that your current thinking?
Mr. Guastello: Yes. The pitch roof will be advantageous and will blend in with
the other development that is already there.
Mr. Morrow: Sometimes petitioners do approach some of the neighborhood residents
concerning their proposed developments. Has anything like that been
done by you or your associates?
Mr. Guastello: Yes, we have talked to a number of residents before and many are here
today. I think we can say that the vast majority do not fine a
professional service objectionable. They are concerned with the type
of berm that will be separating the development. I think only two out
of twenty felt it shouldn't be used for office use. We met a great
deal of reluctance with developers on developing the site as multiples.
Mrs. Sobolewski: What do you have in mind as far as starting and completing?
Mr. Guastello: We have had meetings with our company and we have a financial commit-
ment that will expire in September. We have decided that we would like
to get going with two buildings by the fall. We thought we would
finish one building and the other foundation and upon renting the
first building, we would proceed with the second building. Based
on the needs of the community, we will have nine to eleven buildings
there.
1: Barry Wolk, 14308 Garden: I am in possession of a petition with signatures opposed to
this type of construction. The general consensus is that we believe
the property will develop but we have seen this kind of development
and we totally disagree with it. We have very specific objections
and I believe people in the audience will tell you about them. There
are eighteen signatures on the list. The only people who were
approached on this are the people who have abutting property.
Mr. Smith: Why are you opposed?
Mr. Wolk: The general consensus is that we are not necessarily opposed to the
use but to the actual configuration of the property. The kind of
concentration they will need would be detrimental to the adjoining
property. There was to be a greenbelt buffering this property from
the development behind it. Some people called the Commission and were
made to believe that there would be some kind of wall behind their
residences and we are definitely opposed to that. Also, there was to
be a 75' greenbelt placed there.
Mr. Smith: Our job here tonight is concerned with the proper zoning classification
for the property. If now is the time to remove the R-7 zoning from the
property and is P.S. now the more appropriate classification.
Mr. Morrow: By Ordinance, there must be a protective wall where the property abuts
the P.S. The only one that could waive that is the Zoning Board of
Appeals. I am not aware of any 75' greenbelt. Zoning cannot be
conditioned.
9677
10' Mr. Nagy: The 75' greenbelt was placed on a previously approved site plan.
Mr. Pacific, 14027 Alexander: Last night, I walked along the houses on Alexander and
Perth and talked to people, . Primarily, their concern is what you are
going to do with the land adjacent. A lot of people are opposed to a
wall twenty feet away from their property line. The consensus is that
they like the land the way it is and would like to keep it that way.
I think they realize it is going to change and they are concerned about
what this is going to do to their view.
Mr. Morrow: I have asked Mr. Guastello if he would work with the residents. I
can only speak on his record and they do have a track record of build-
ing in Livonia and they usually come up with something the neighbors
want to see. Of course, that is no guarantee.
Mr. Smith: I would like to emphasize that the R-7 zoning is there and a developer
could build apartments now. The sixteen people who signed the peti-
tion -- in my mind I can't believe they are saying they would rather
have apartments. That is what we get confused about. We are talking
now strictly about the zoning. If this is denied, tomorrow they could
begin building apartments. I live in the south end of Livonia and I
believe this is better for the south end of the City. I think this
development would be the best development that could go in.
Mr. Pacific: We would actually prefer professional service with some stipulations
as opposed to apartments.
IL
Mr. Soranno: Regarding the wall -- any use other than residential would require
that wall.
Al Bsharah, 29297 Perth: I don't think most of us are opposed to the change and we don't
mind the office type set-up. Our concern is that we want that green-
belt between the property lines and we don't want apartments. We
don't want parking there and where will the entrance be?
Mr. Morrow: As we said earlier, there are ways to accomplish a greenbelt and a
satisfactory site arrangement.
Surujdial Sigh, 29313 Perth: Two years ago we were here when Mr. Guastello was peti-
tioning for Mike Kelley's. We have a buffer between the development.
It is my understanding that Mr. Guastello said he could not sell the
property for R-7 because it is not suitable for multiple family and
it is not his intention to put in a restaurant there because Livonia
could not support another restaurant. Mr. Guastello promised us and
Council that the property between Mike Kelley's and the property
behind that would not be developed and that the traffic leading into
Mike Kelley's would have a berm. That is not true. When the restau-
rant opened, we complained about the berm and the microphones that
were being used. I don't think Mr. Guastello delivered what he said
he would. And, he said there would be up to three to five acres of
10 land set aside and preserved.
4 Mr. Guastello: We want to clarify a couple of things, and I like to feel that we did
9678
give what we said we would. If there is any problem, I would like
people to call me. In the time we were developing this, I did not
receive any calls and not one letter. At that time, we had all the
property cut. We had another complaint about a person living in the
tree and that was corrected. I would like to clarify that we said we
we would stop with restaurant or food development and at no time did
we say that we would give away three or five acres for a preserve.
There seems to be a majority of neighbors against a wall. In the areas
where the neighbors do not want a wall, we would petition the Zoning
Board of Appeals. We realize we will have work to do with the
neighbors abutting the property and to the best of our ability we will
satisfy them on the wall or any other issues that concern them.
Mr. Morrow: The gentleman said something about a covenant.
Mr. Guastello: The only thing we agreed to is that we would not come in with a com-
mercial use. We agreed that we would not put in another restaurant.
We have a long-term commitment to Livonia. We talked with developers
and they have stated they couldn't put quality multiple development
on the property.
Mr. Wolk: We request that a decision be delayed until we have had sufficient
time to research the covenant to find out just what it stated.
Mr. Morrow: That will be taken into consideration when we make our motion on
the petition.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Do you remember what the covenant said, Mr. Nagy:
Mr. Nagy: My memory tells me that there was only one owner then and when you
place a restrictive covenant, you only restrict yourself. It is my
recollection that it the petitioner did restrict the use of the
property to prohibit another restaurant after the property was sold
to Kelley Johnson.
Mr. Sigh: If this is approved tonight, according to the City Ordinance anyone
can come and put a concrete wall on the property line.
Mr. Morrow: Not without a permit. I have never heard of a wall being built
without the major development.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-5-1-22 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mrs. Sobolewski, seconded by Mr. Smith and unanimously adopted,
it was
#6-155-86 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on June 17, 1986
on Petition 86-5-1-22 by Thomas Guastello requesting to rezone property
located on the east side of Middlebelt, north of Schoolcraft Road in the
1140 Southwest 1/4 of Section 24 from R-7 to P.S. , the City Planning Commission
does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 86-5-1-22 be
approved for the following reasons:
9679
I:
(1) The proposed change of zoning is compatible to and in harmony
with the surrounding zoning in the area.
(2) The proposed change of zoning will provide for uses that will
complement the commercial enterprises in the area.
(3) The proposed change of zoning will provide for a transition or
buffer zone between the existing residences in the area and the
traffic noise generated by the freeway and from the commercial
uses in the area.
(4) The subject site has locational advantages for the office uses
permitted by the proposed zoning district because of the I-96
Freeway and Middlebelt Road.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 23.05 of Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended.
Mr. Morrow, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-5-1-23
by the City Planning Commission to rezone property located on the north-
east corner of Six Mile and Haggerty Roads in the Southwest 1/4 of
Section 7 from C-2 to P.S.
10 Mr. Nagy: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division stating
they have no objection to this rezoning proposal.
David B. Nelson, Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn, 2290 First National Building,
Detroit: I represent the owner of the property, Mr. Hesano, who
opposes the rezoning. The small size makes it virtually infeasible
for P.S. Mr. Hesant has been trying to sell this property as it is
presently zoned to Mobil Oil. The land is ideal for commercial use.
It is completely buffered and screened and in addition, the sub-
stantial development we have seen really means it is essential
to provide commercial services in that area -- Freeway related
services. The site and the building that could be built on the
commercial or P.S. would be the same. It would be virtually impossible
to develop for office and it is an ideal situation for a commercial
and on that basis I request that you deny this request.
Mr. Morrow: John, can you speak to the viability of the site for its use?
Mr. Nagy: Our studies show that a 35,000 square office usage on that property.
I think it would be a very viable building for an architect, lawyer,
insurance office or real estate.
Mr. Nelson: We have a purchaser for the property.
ILMr. Smith: Have they agreed on a price should this not be rezoned?
Mr. Nelson: Yes.
9680
to Mr. Edward Hesano, 27460 Beacon Square, Farmington Hills: To answer Mr. Smith's
question, there is a purchase agreement signed and I have received
first option. I bought the property as a user and spent. a year
and a half going through approvals with the City. That was in the
early 80s. I am now involved in another business opportunity and
have put the property up for sale. The bank didn't show any interest
in buying the property. Quite frankly, with the wrap-around I
thought it would be a good use for a bank. I had other people
interested but I didn't think the City would be interested in those.
I didn't think Livonia wanted a small retail business there although
someone was interested.
Mr. Soranno: I would like to say that I feelthat the nature of that section along
Six Mile and especially between the Freeway and Haggerty has been
changed recently. I think it is a classy looking area and that it
will be even more so. Therefore, I feel that a C-2 classification
on the corner is not appropriate. I think the change in zoning would
be more compatible with the existing development.
Mr. Hesano: About three years ago at the Council it was brought out that they
favor a one-story office or commercial building. Basically it is
the same type of thing and you will have the same type of problems
with egress and traffic because there is no difference whether it is
commercial or office.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow,
a Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-5-1-23 closed.
11,
a On a motion duly made by Mr. Soranno and seconded by Mr. Vyhnalek, it was
#6-156-86 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on June 17, 1986
on Petition 86-5-1-23 by the City Planning Commission to rezone
property located on the northeast corner of Six Mile and Haggerty
Roads in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 7 from C-2 to P.S. , the City
Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that
Petition 86-5-1-23 be approved for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zoning will be compatible to and in
harmony with the surrounding zoning in the area.
(2) The proposed change of zoning will provide for uses that are
consistent with the existing and proposed uses in the surround-
ing area.
(3) There is no need for additional commercial uses in this general
area as would be allowed by the existing C-2, general commercial,
zoning district.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 23.05 of Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended.
10 A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:

AYES: Soranno, Vyhnalek, Kluver, Sobolewski, Naidow, Morrow
9681
NAYS: Smith
' ABSENT: Duggan, Hildebrandt
I:
Mr. Morrow, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-5-2-21
by John Dinan requesting waiver use approval to utilize a building
proposed to be located on the southwest corner of Eight Mile and
Gill Roads in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 4 for general office use.
John Dinan, 37799 Professional Ct. Dr. , Livonia: This will allow us general offices
as well as medical. General offices are much more restrictive con-
cerning traffic and parking because the general office use is mostly
employees. A site plan was included when the Commission considered
the rezoning. We left the zoning on each side of the subject
property single family to provide a berm. This will be a four-sided
building and very attractive no matter what direction you're looking
at it from.
Mr. Smith: I assume you will use the same typesignage as your other development.
Mr. Dinan: Yes, low signs.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-5-2-21 closed.

On a motion duly made by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Soranno and unanimously adopted, it

#8-157-86 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on June 17, 1986
on Petition 86-5-2-21 by John Dinan requesting waiver use approval to
utilize a building proposed to be located on the southwest corner of
Eight Mile and Gill Roads in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 4 for general
office uses, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the
City Council that Petition 86-5-2-21 be approved subject to the follow-
ing conditions:
(1) that the Site Plan marked Sheet #1, dated 5/12/86, prepared
by Michael A. Boggio, Architect, which is hereby approved
shall be adhered to;
(2) that the Building Elevation Plan marked Sheet #2, dated 1/31/86,
prepared by Michael A. Boggio, Architect, which is hereby approved

(3) that a Landscape Plan shall be submitted to the Planning Commis-
sion for approval within thirty (30) days from the date of this
resolution;
for the following reasons:
100 (1) The the proposed use complies with all waiver use standards and
requirements set forth in Section 9.03 and 19.06 of Zoning
4
9682
Ordinance #543.
(2) The subject site has the capacity to accommodate the proposed use.
(3) The proposed use will be compatible to and in harmony with the
surrounding uses in the area.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions on Section 19.05 of Zoning Ordinance #543, as amended.
Mr. Morrow, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-5-3-3
by the City Planning Commission to vacate the portion of St. Francis
Avenue located north of Seven Mile Road, and a portion of the alley
lying west of St. Francis Avenue located north of Seven Mile Road, in
the Southeast 1/4 of Section 1.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division stating
that nearly all of the St. Francis right-of-way south of Bridge Avenue
is encumbered within a designated flood plain for the Upper Rouge at
this location. Ownership of the parcels between the north line of
the Bushel Stop site and the Rouge River should be determined from
a standpoint of landlocking these parcels from a public right-of-way
and that their office has no objections to the vacating of the street
right-of-way subject to review of the ownership of the parcels.
A letter from the Detroit Edison Company indicates that they have no
objection to the vacating of the alley and road provided easements
are reserved the full with of the existing alleys and road to protect
their existing equipment.
Joseph Crenshaw, 26911 Santa Maria, Detroit: I am the owner of the Bushel Stop and we
are in the process of reorganizing and upgrading our facility. I
have concern for the vacating of St. Francis because at this point
in time there are four lots on the east of St. Francis that are
not part of the Bushel Stop operation and those parcels would not
have access. To the west there is a very similar situation with
another landowner or possible future landowner if he would have to
get access to those lots. The alley is essential to the over site
plan.
Mr. Morrow: You are in favor of vacating the alley but are concerned with
vacating St. Francis because of the property owners' access through
your property?
Mr. Humackey, 22461 Haynes, Farmington: I own Lot 122 through 126. How would I get in
there if you block it off?
Mr. Morrow: I think that was one of Mr. Crenshaw's concerns.
toMr. Humackey: Why are you doing this?
Mr. Morrow: The reason is because there has been some movement in that area as far
9683
as the Bushel Stop is concerned. It is not unusual to look at streets
and alleys that will not be used. This gives us a chance to study them
and determine if St. Francis should be vacated and whether the alley
should be vacated. It is a paper street but the right-of-way is
owned by the City.
Mr. Nagy: When the subdivision was developed, by recording the plat the right-
of-way was recorded for the City. The Bushel Stop was successful in
expanding their commercial development and the plan submitted as part
of the development plan caused the Council to look at the overall area
and they felt that St. Francis really serves no purpose. St. Francis
cannot physically run through to Bridge Avenue because of the flood
plain. It seemed more feasible to have the City take a look to see if
St. Francis is really needed so they requested that a public hearing
be held to determine whether or not it should be vacated but the City
could not landlock any property owner.
Mr. Humackey: You mean I can't build a home?
Mr. Nagy: You would have to stand the expense of bringing the street up there.
I indicated that it would not be vacated if you needed it. This merely
allows us to bring up some discussion on it.
Mrs. Humackey: I would rather the alley be kept open for access to our property.
I have to go through the alley to get to my property.
t4 Mr. Vyhnalek: You want the alley closed, Mr. Crenshaw?
Mr. Crenshaw: Yes. They seldom frequent their property. They have a house or a
relative's house up Angling Road and it is a matter of convenience
to go through the alley rather than go down to Seven Mile Road to get
to their property.
Mr. Morrow: But they do have access to their property?
Mr. Crenshaw: Yes, 100% of the time.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-5-3-3 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Vyhnalek and seconded by Mrs. Sobolewski, it was
X16-158-86 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on June 17, 1986
on Petition 86-5-3-3 by the City Planning Commission to vacate the
portion of St. Francis Avenue located north of Seven Mile Road, and
a portion of the alley lying west of St. Francis Avenue located north
of Seven Mile Road, in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 1, the City Plan-
ning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that
Petition 86-5-3-3 be approved only to the extent that the alley lying
west of St. Francis Avenue, north of Seven Mile Road, be vacated and
110 that the portion of St. Francis Avenue located north of Seven Mile
Road not be vacated, the subject alley vacating being subject to the
retention of a full-width easement over the alley to protect existing
equipment located therein, for the following reasons:
9684
(1) The subject alley is no longer required to provide public
access to abutting lots.
(2) No public purpose can be served by retaining the subject
alley in public ownership.
(3) The vacating of St. Francis Avenue would landlock several
residential lots, thus preventing access to those lots from
any public street.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 12.08.030 of the Livonia Code of Ordinances.
A roll call vote on the foregoing resolution resulted in the following:
AYES: Vyhnalek, Sobolewski, Soranno, Smith, Naidow, Morrow
NAYS: Kluver
ABSENT: Duggan, Hildebrandt.
Mr. Morrow, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 85-11-3-10
by Michael A. Boggio requesting the vacating of Phillips Road, east
of Haggerty Road and south of Eight Mile Road in Section 6.
Mr. Nagy: A letter in the file from the Engineering Division states that they
3
have no objection to the vacating but recommend that a full-width
easement+be retained for public utilies. Detroit Edison Company
indicated they have no objection providing easements are preserved.
Michael Boggio, 255 South Woodward Avenue, Birmingham: We request this because it has
never been developed. There are only three property owners in the
area. The road goes nowhere. During our site plan approval, we made
it known that we were planning to do this. We feel it will enhance
the area.
Mr. Soranno: I assume you heard from CBS Fox regarding this?
Mr. Boggio: We have heard no objection and we have made it known that we were
requesting this.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Morrow,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 85-11-3-10 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Soranno, seconded by Mrs. Naidow and unanimously adopted, it
was
#i6-159-86 RESOLVED that, pursuant to a Public Hearing having been held on June 17, 1986
on Petition 85-11-3-10 by Michael A. Boggio requesting the vacating
of Phillips Road, east of Haggerty Road and south of Eight Mile Road
in Section 6, the City Planning Commission does hereby recommend to
the City Council that Petition 85-11-3-10 be approved subject to
9685
retention of a full-width easement to protect existing utilities,
IL for the following reasons:
(1) The subject road right-of-way is no longer needed to provide
for current or future public access to abutting properties.
(2) The subject road right-of-way can be used more advantageously
by the private property to which it will attach.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 12.08.030 of the Livonia Code of Ordinances.
Mr. Morrow, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-5-7-3
by the City Planning Commission to amend Part V of the Master Plan of
the City of Livonia, the Master School and Park Plan, by incorporating
property located on the east and west sides of Newburgh Road between
Plymouth Road and Edward Hines Drive in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 30.
Mr. Nagy: A letter in the file from the Director of the Wayne County Parks
and Recreation Department requests that Lot 549 at the intersection of
Newburgh and Hines Drive be added to the Master Park Plan as part of
the Middle Rouge Parkway inasmuch as Wayne County Parks & Recreation
Department has secured approval from the Michigan Land Trust Fund to
IL purchase this property as part of the Parkway. There is a letter in
the file from Charles W. Chandler, Chairman of the Historic Preserva-
Commission transmitting a resolution of the Commission indicating its
support of the Wayne County Department of Parks & Recreation's re-
quest to designate this property on the Park Plan as recreation area.
Nancy Watkins, Chief of Planning & Design, Wayne County Department of Parks and Recrea-
tion, presented a plan to the Commission and audience showing the development plans for
the Middle Rouge Parkway which included the property under consideration this evening.
Ms. Watkins: Henry and Clara Ford dedicated this property to the Wayne County Road
Commission in 1948 to be incorporated into the Middle Rouge Parkway.
The County has been acquiring property along the Parkway and the
property at Plymouth and Newburgh was also involved. This particular
piece of property is very important to the overall plans in terms of
no further development taking place on the property. Mr. Newman is
not in favor of selling the property to us. We have the funds and are
proceeding with an appraisal for a fair market value in the event
condemnation proceedings are necessary.
Norman Newman, Newman Management, 22371 Newman Ave. , Dearborn 48124: Our family owns
the property. This morning is the first time I have know this action
is being taken. I had no idea that the gentleman who called me on
May 28th had taken any type of action. I told him I would get back
to him after talking with the rest of my family. He doesn't want
the entire property, only a piece.
10 Mr. Morrow: Has this property ever been for sale?
I
9686
Mr. Newman: I have owned it many years. My parents bought it years ago.
111:
Mr. Morrow: Would you be willing to weork with the County?
Mr. Newman: I met with them once a month ago and I am surprised all this is
happening.
Mr. Kluver: Mr. Newman, what is your profession?
Mr. Newman: I am a broker.
Mr. Kluver: Do you have a sign on the property?
Mr. Newman: Yes.
Mr. Kluver: What does the sign say:
Mr. Newman: For lease or will build.
Mr. Soranno: Did you request a meeting on May 28th?
Mr. Newman: I requested an informal meeting five to six weeks prior to that.
Mr. Soranno: What was the purpose of the meeting?
Mr. Newman: Just to get my general feeling. Someone from their office was to
contact me. I thought then I was not interested in selling the
II
property.
Mr. Morrow: Are you aware of the condemnation proceedings?
Mr. Newman: No. When I had the meeting with Mr. Reickel, no mention was made
of it. I request that I be given ninety days to discuss this with
the other members of my family.
Ms. Watkins: By September 1st, we need to come up with a purchase agreement. We
really think we should buy it at fair market price and that is why
we have an appraisal on it. Wehave made a very generous offer on
the property and have gone to a lot of trouble to secure the property.
We have a letter from Mr. Newman rejecting our offer. We just want
to pay fair market value for the property and develop it as a
memorial. Mr. Newman didn't return any phone calls made to his
office and we didn't order the appraisal right away because we were
hoping to deal with Mr. Newman and we didn't order the appraisal
until after Mr. Newman rejected our offer.
Mr. Nagy: Would thirty days be harmful?
Ms. Watkins: Yes, it would, because I see no harm in having the Master Plan in-
corporating this parcel. It is not a rezoning. We have been deal-
ing with this almost a year and incorporating it on the Master Plan
wouldn't hurt or hinder the property owner at all.
Mr. Newman: In the January 27th phone call, you stated at that time that you
9687
would like to buy the property to preserve the intersection and the
road from going through. You stated I made a phone call a week
after my meeting with Eric Reickel. I did not make any phone call
14; or anyone else in my office regarding this piece of property.
Mr. Vyhnalek: You don't want to sell the property?
Mr. Newman: No, but we don't want to go through a hassle.
Mr. Vyhnalek: But the County is adamant that they want the property. I am in
favor of putting this on the Park Plan and see what happens between
you and the County.
Mrs. Sobolewski: Why are you objecting to it going on the Master Plan. What is the
difference one way or another>
Mr. Newman: I am trying to deal with the other members of my family. Further,
they are interested in only part of the property, not all of it.

Plat for Summer Creek Subdivision proposed to be located on the west
side of Gill Road, south of Eight Mile Road in the Northwest 1/4 of
Section 4.
Mr. Nagy: There are letters in the file from the Traffic Bureau and the Fire
Division stating they have no objection to this proposed develop-
ment.
Ray Hurley, 5199 Raintree, Canton, was present, representing the developer.
Larry Roesner, 34805 Norfolk: At the last meeting, there was discussion about the
zoning. Which way is this going, R-3 or R-4?
9689
Mr. Morrow: R-3, the recommendation for R-4 was never acted on.
Mr. Roesner: There is some question about the location of the drain on the plan
and the actual drain which is really a drainage ditch.
Mr. Nagy: At the east property line there was a surface drainage easement. The
The subdivision as proposed would disrupt that drain. His concern is
what will happen to that water and will it create a water situation
in his backyard. The engineering plan submitted is not finalized but
it is proposed that the lots that back up to the drainage ditch will
have to have a storm sewer to pick up the drainage. The plan sub-
mitted doesn't show the storm going up that far to his drainage
ditch but it is only fair that the developer pick that up. We are
working that out with our Engineering Department.
Mr. Roesner: Will the electrical be in the backyard?
Mr. Nagy: In the backyard, underground.
