MINUTES OF THE 530th REGULAR MEETING
AND PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD BY THE CITY
PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
LIVONIA
On Tuesday, January 27, 1987, the City PlAhning Commission of the testy of Livonia
held its 530th Regular Meeting and Public Hearings in the Livonia City Hall, 33000
Civic Center Drive, Livonia, Michigan.
Mr. C. Russ Smith, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. , with
approximately 45 interested persons in the audience.
Members present: C. Russ Smith Herman Kluver Donald Vyhnalek
Sue Sobolewski Michael Soranno Richard Straub
R. Lee Morrow Donna Naidow Jeanne Hildebrandt
Members absent: None
Messrs. John J. Nagy, Planning Director, H. G. Shane, Assistant Planning Director,
and Ralph H. Bakewell, Planner IV, were also present.
Mr. Smith 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 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
i preliminary plat and/or a vacating petition. Planning Commission resolutions do not
become effective until seven days after tonight.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the first item on the agenda is Petition 86-12-1-48
by Melvin Borin to rezone property located on the east side of Middlebelt Road, north
of Joy Road in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 36 from RUF to C-1.
Mr. Nagy: A letter in the file from the Engineering Division states they
have no objection to this petition from an engineering standpoint.
Melvin Borin, 27300 Franklin Road, Southfield, Petitioner: I am asking for a
rezoning of Lot 100 which is 60 feet in width. I have also
acquired Lot 99 and 20 feet of Lot 98 and the addition of this 60
feet that I would like to extend C-1 zoning would allow me to do a
site plan in which I could go four stores or 100 feet of stores
across front. It has been too narrow for development. This will
allow me to develop it. It is my intention to just develop in
front of property back about 250 feet leaving a buffer of 100
feet. That is my intention. It is next to a 7-11 Store. I think
it will be an improvement for the area, even with a vacant lot
people dump garbage. I think this would make it look better. I
own the building across the street, which is a medical clinic, and
I think since that has gone in it has been an improvement for the
tw area. It is my intention to keep improving the area.
Mr. Smith: Did you say you own half of Lot 98?
• 9836
Mr. Borin: Yes, I have a signed purchase agreement with 7-11 for Lot 99 and
the north 20 feet of Lot 98. I would have 140 feet.
Mr. Morrow: You would in no way have anything to do with 7-11?
Mr. Borin: Right.
Mr. Kluver: Mr. Borin, are you a developer? Is that your full time
profession.
Mr. Borin: Yes. I'm a real estate broker and a small developer right now.
Mr. Kluver: Your purpose is to develop spec buildings?
Mr. Borin: I have talked to a few retailers but mostly those type of
buildings with commercial zoning are done more on specs. No
tenants yet.
Mr. Soranno: On Lot 99 the 7-11 currently owns, they are not using it for
parking?
Mr. Borin: No, not at present.
Mr. Soranno: How about Lot 98.
s Mr. Borin:110 Yes, some parking. When I do develop it I will put my drive on
the northerly end of project and it will form a nice drive-thru.
7-11 is happy to see some stores going in. It would be
convenience stores to serve neighborhood.
Mr. Soranno: Have you touched base with anyone to the north.
Mr. Borin: No, they are on Middlebelt and they are interested in maybe moving
or selling. They are currently zoned RUF. I would suppose that
some time in the future they may be rezoned office. They have no
objections.
Mr. Vyhnalek: What you are saying is you are going to build a strip shopping
center.
Mr. Borin: Yes sir.
Mr. Vyhnalek: - Has there been any consideration at all on P.S. , having
professional. Joy Road has all kinds of stores and a few blocks
away is Wonderland. I don't think a strip shopping center is
needed in that area.
Mr. Borin: I have some experience with medical but there are enough doctors
in there. It seems that the street has plenty of doctors. The
area has plenty of doctors.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Middlebelt sure has plenty of strip centers.
110: Bernard Matusz, 29197 Grandon: I did not receive a letter on this.
9837
Mr. Smith: You live too far away.
Mr. Matusz: They put a business 50 feet from street and there are all kinds of
weeds. Is there something that can be done about that even if it
does not get rezoned? In back of everything there is nothing
there.
Mr. Smith: They would come with the site plans but weeds are a violation.
The question tonight is should that lot be rezoned.
Mr. Matusz: I would like to see it left professional service in my opinion.
Steven Smith, 29173 Grandon: I would like to take this opportunity to let the
Commission know I am opposed to this. There is also another
proposition on the agenda to rezone property on the corner of
Middlebelt and Grandon from professional service to C-1 and I
believe that if they do rezone property north of 7-11 they would
open up a can of worms. Myself, along with other residents of
my street, don't want to be that close to a commercial
establishment. I am opposed to it.
Neil Caldwell, 29056 Grandon: I think the issues are clear tonight on this one and
the next petition. It's either the quality of life or greed of
the developer. I think we have enough stores and don't need any
more by us. We have professional services that have done very
well but to put more stores along there, I think it is not
indicated.
Peter Bennick, 29129 Grandon: I agree with both of the previous people that have
spoken on the issue. I am opposed to any changes in the zoning
code. In the first place they involve all the residential area
and those three or four blocks from West Chicago to Joy Road and
the amount of value of that property goes way up which means these
businesses will affect the area, they will depreciate the value
and people will lose money. Thank you.
Mr. Morrow: How long have you lived there?
Mr. Bennick: About 35 years.
Mr. Morrow: Do you know a number of your neighbors?
Mr. Bennick: Yes I do.
Mr. Morrow: Do you feel like in this particular area you are short of
neighborhood type of commercial. Do you feel you are well served?
Mr. Bennick: We are very well served. We have chain stores and shopping
centers all within a very short distance of home.
Mr. Morrow: We try to give the people a mix of different types of
classifications.
9838 .
Mr. Bennick: I don't think we need any further developments because we have all
types of shopping areas in there along Middlebelt, Plymouth and
Joy Roads.
John Bell, 29610 Grandon: I am a neighbor across the street from Pete. I have lived
in the neighborhood long enough to see commercial build up and
professional service and I would rather see commercial. I would
rather see a funeral parlor than a restaurant. Grandon is a
racetrack. If we put more commercial in this area, all I can see
is someone getting killed in this area. I have stopped a lot of
people from racing up and down but if you are going to put
restaurants or C-1, you are going to see Grandon Avenue go to
h-a-1-1. I don't intend to put up with it. I hope you people
will listen and don't go C-1 because we don't need any more of
this. I hope you will consider putting public service in and cut
out the C-1 stuff. We don't need this sort of stuff in this area.
Middlebelt should be twice as wide as it is now and there should
be lights at every block. Every night I lay awake and I hear guns
going off in this neighborhood. They talk about the south end of
Livonia being a junk yard. We don't need that.
Barbara Caldwell, 29057 Grandon: I would like to express an opinion regarding the
area. When you spoke of strip shopping within half a mile of that
area there is already some strip shopping. There is a
restaurant, a meat market etc. We do have some good shopping and
you really can walk to Wonderland. Right now it is residential
along there as well as a few professional buildings. We have
lived in area over 30 years. There are schools close and the kids
do walk up and down Middlebelt and by adding the strip shopping it
is going to increase the hazards they have to confront. I don't
think it is in the best interest of our subdivision to put in more
businesses. We would like to see that professional standards
maintained. The building presents a good appearance. The one
across the street has been maintained very well but if you change
the zoning, we can say it will be thus and so but when it occurs
there is a limit to what we can control. We have had some
subdivision problems. They are not going to change but we
certainly would appreciate having our boundaries maintained.
Agnes Hilgard, Wilson Acres Homeowner's Association: I would like to go on record
saying I support everything the other people said.
Mr. Borin: I was hoping I could say one more thing in my defense. When I
first got the land I saw the corner of Grandon was going to be
rezoned and I agree with some of the things that were said here
today. I already have 80 feet zoned commercial but I would like
another 60 feet so I can build a real nice building. I also hoped
for a little sympathy but I could build on the 80 feet. I would
like an additional 60 feet to make it a nice building.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Smith,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-12-1-48 closed.
9839
LOn a motion duly made by Mr. Soranno, seconded by Mr. Vyhnalek and unanimously
adopted, it was
#1-10-87 RESOLVED that, pursuant to Public Hearing having been held on January 27,
1987 on Petition 86-12-1-48 by Melvin Borin to rezone property located on
the east side of Middlebelt Road, north of Joy Road in the Southwest-1/4 of
Section 36 from RUF to C-1, the City Planning Commission does hereby
recommend to the City Council that Petition 86-12-1-48 be denied for the
following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zoning is not supported by the Future Land Use
Plan which recommends office uses for the subject property.
(2) The proposed change of zoning would encourage similar requests for
changes of zoning to the north and would, therefore, cause more strip
commercial zoning in the area.
(3) Currently, ample vacant commercial zoning exists in the area.
FURTHER RESOLVED that, notice of the above hearing was given in accordance
with the provisions of Section 23.05 of Zoning Ordinance 41543, as amended.
Mr. Smith, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
110 Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-12-1-49
by Truman A. Strong to rezone property located on the southeast corner of
Middlebelt and Grandon Roads in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 36from P.S. to
C-1.
Mr. Nagy: A letter in the file from the Engineering Division states they
have no objection to this petition from an engineering standpoint.
Truman A. Strong, 26325 Ivanhoe, Redford, Petitioner: I have owned two lots for a
period of eleven years and I originally thought I would build
there. The time slipped by.
Mr. Smith: You wanted to build a home there?
Dr. Strong: No, office building. I have had lots up for sale for five years.
I have not had one offer. As you can see the area is saturated
with P.S. The other gentleman waited a year and a half before he
filled his building. I have tried to sell lot. I have--
practically
ave=practically tried to give it away. I do not know what to do with
it. It is my intention, if I do get it rezoned, to place a
florist or beauty shop in that area. A ranch style building with
ingress and egress on Middlebelt.
Mr. Vyhnalek: That is P.S. He could put a building on there now.
110, Mr. Smith: Yes. He would have to have site plan approval.
Mr. Soranno: You have been trying to find a tenant for five years?
• 9840
Dr. Strong: I have been trying to sell it. I have got to do something with
it. I am willing to develop it if I get a chance.
Mr. Soranno: Why have you had such a hard time?
Dr. Strong: I have offered it for sale for $2500=-fess than I paid for it. I
have to do something with it.
Charles Smith, 29173 Grandon: I would like to say once again that I am opposed to
this rezoning. There are ample commercial establishments close
by. I would rather see it sit as a vacant lot than a completed
building with no tenants. I would welcome him to build a dentist
office.
Peter Bennick, 29121 Grandon: I have spoken about the previous matter. I want to
state again that the residents in that area have millions of
dollars into that area and I am against rezoning basically for the
same reasons as I spoke before and I am in support with the other
people.
John Crocket, 29160 Grandon: Through the years since 1955 I made an investment in my
home. I have been paying taxes up to this date. I have made many
improvements. I feel sorry for Mr. Strong here that he made an
investment and he cannot capitalize on it. That is his problem
not mine. His downfall is he bought two lots on that corner and
he can't capitalize on them. I don't feel that I should pick up
on his problems and have that go C-1 and have anything put in that
corner that is going to be detrimental to my property.
i
Neil Caldwell, 29056 Grandon: I am opposed to this petition because my concern is
that proposed building first and then we will see one on the next
corner and then one on the other corner not as well controlled.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Smith,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-12-1-49 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Straub, seconded by Mrs. Hildebrandt and unanimously
adopted, it was
#1-11-87 RESOLVED that, pursuant to Public Hearing having been held on January 27,
1987 on Petition 86-12-1-49 by Truman A. Strong to rezone property located
on the southeast corner of Middlebelt and Grandon Roads in the Southwest
1/4 of Section 36from P.S. to C-1, the City Planning Commission does hereby
recommend to the City Council that Petition 86-12-1-49 be denied for the
following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zoning would constitute spot zoning in the
area.
(2) The proposed change of zoning would only encourage similar requests
for commercial zoning both to the south and north as well as across
Middlebelt Road which zoning would be detrimental to the area.
I
9841
(3) The proposed change of zoning would not be compatible with the
adjacent residential uses in the area.
(4) The proposed change of zoning would be in conflict with the Future
Land Use Plan which recommends office uses for the subject area.
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. Smith, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-12-1-50
by Thomas W. Kurmas & Associates to rezone property located on the north
side of Seven Mile Road between Angling and Lathers in the Southeast 1/4 of
Section 1 from RUF, & P to C-1.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division
stating there is an existing designated floodplain associated with
the Upper Rouge River that traverses a part of the site. No fill
may be placed in this area in conjunction with the development of
the site. The exact location of this floodplain will be
determined by this office at the time that additional information
(survey elevations) is shown on the plans.
Thomas Kurmas, 30400 Telegraph, Birmingham, Petitioner: What we are trying to do
here is we are looking at the parcel C-1. The total parcel is
under 3 acres and the C-1 portion under 1 acre. What we hope to
do is to better develop the C-1 portion but that will leave us
with 500 feet that we would have no use for. There is not even an
access to that site. We would like to combine that and build a
strip shopping center.
Mr. Vyhnalek: What would go in there.
Mr. Kurmas: 30,000 sq. foot shopping center.
Mr. Vyhnalek: You say it is 4 acres?
Mr. Kurmas: No, 5.0 acres.
Mr. Vyhnalek: How far is that from Seven Mile and Middlebelt?
Mr. Nagy: About 3/4 of a mile to Middlebelt, closer to Inkster. West of
Corsie's Restaurant.
Mr. Morrow: My position is one of the reasons the property to the west is
zoned P.S., we would be stepping down in zoning. My immediate
reaction is not to expand the C-1 district but perhaps
subsequently consider expanding the P.S. district.
Mr. Nagy: Future P.S. zoning is reflected in Future Land Use.
- 9842
ileGary Kramer, 19304 Lathers: Lathers is 1/2 mile between Inkster and Middlebelt.
What we have at Seven Mile and Middlebelt on Saturday morning - we
have a mess. We have Toys-R-Us. We have mini-malls as far as you
can see. We have all kinds of video stores, fast foods, etc. We
have too much in this area. If we are going to build anything,
� why cram it in sideways. If you live on Lathers when you bought
the property you could actually sit out back and it is beautiful
and now I am going to have to look at a parking lot with more
stores. We have more stores than people in area. None of us ever
intended to be looking at a parking lot out of our kitchen window.
My point is, I guess, I would like to invite any of you over on
Saturday morning and see what we have now. Let us try to keep the
traffic down in that area.
Richard Myers, 19320 Lathers: I have four objections. (1) We now have four strip
centers within 500 yards of my house. We also have the Livonia
Mall. (2) I think this is a real intrusion into a residential
area. It is an invasion of my privacy. There will be increased
crime, etc. (3) Certainly it is going to decrease the money
value of my residential property at a time when the neighborhood
has agreed to pay to pave our roads. (4) I think this is
important. I have an eighteen month old. I think this has a
possibility of contributing to delinquency because it is so close
to Clarenceville School. I think it is not good to have strip
IL shopping centers next to a high school.
Bob Sloan, 19314 Lathers: I have lived there 25 years. When we first moved in we
wanted the streets paved and now it has come about. We don't mind
spending the money to update our streets and neighborhood because
we like it but I just can't see this strip going in. I don't
think it is fair for us. Thank you.
Donald Loftus, 19337 Angling: I came down here to question what was going to happen.
Where I live I get a lot of noise from Corsie's. We will have a
greater problem with drag racing.
Debra Brule, 28100 Seven Mile: There is no existing fence there now. There is a
greenbelt. We don't know where that is. I am not real thrilled
about it but I know it is going to happen and we can't stop it.
We knew when we purchased our home that it was P. We know the
people who own it now. I don't understand what they would put in
there.
Mr. Smith: Right now the question is, is this the proper area for C-1 zoning.
If the zoning is changed we will see what kind of stores.
Mrs. Brule: Being that I am directly next door, where will I go for answers.
Mr. Smith: Come over to the 3rd floor, Planning Department, and they will be
very happy to answer any questions.
Mrs. Brule: I want to know if it is C-1 what they would put up there. I am
worried about if it is zoned C-1 what could go in there.
9843
Mr. Nagy: Retail sales of any kind of items, furniture, food, clothing,
services like barber and beauty shops - local convenience stores.
Mrs. Brule: What can go in there as it is zoned now?
Mr. Smith: Doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc.
Mrs. Brule: I really don't want anything to go in there but I can't stop it.
Mr. Kurmas: I would like to make a comment about concerns of parking. It is
the nature of the commercial to put building at back of site and
parking at front. P.S. is opposite, parking is in rear. They
would be in worse condition with parking if it goes P.S.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Smith,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-12-1-50 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Kluver, seconded by Mr. Morrow and unanimously adopted,
it was
#1-12-87 RESOLVED that, pursuant to Public Hearing having been held on January 27,
1987 on Petition 86-12-1-50 by Thomas W. Kurmas & Associates to rezone
property located on the north side of Seven Mile Road between Angling and
Lathers in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 1 from RUT, & P to C-1, the City
1[0 Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition
86-12-1-50 be denied for the following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zoning is contrary to the Future Land Use Plan
which recommends office uses for the area.
(2) The proposed change of zoning would encourage similar petitions on
properties to the west thus expanding the strip commercial zoning in
the area which is contrary to good planning policy.
(3) The area already contains ample commercial zoning and uses.
•
(4) The proposed change of zoning would not be compatible to the
surrounding residential uses in the area.
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. Smith, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-12-1-51
by Dale A. Steltzner to rezone property located on the southeast corner of Eight Mile
and Gill Roads in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 4 from R-3 to P.S.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter in the file from the Engineering Division
stating the eastely 45 feet of the site is encumbered with a
designated floodplain. Therefore, no fill may be placed in this
area in conjunction with the building operation. In addition,
9844
protective walls should not be placed in the floodplain area.
(Please note that this would eliminate some portions of the wall
shown along the south property line.) There is also a letter in
the file from Stephen M. Lawrence, Secretary of the Livonia
Woodbrooke Homeowners' Association, stating that it was their
intention to oppose this petition.
Mrs. Patricia Smith,Representative of Petitioner: This should be easy because
everyone else wants commercial I just want to go to P.S. I want
to mention a problem. I think it was Mr. Vyhnalek who said he
would like to see building and use restrictions and we do have a
problem. We would like to have public hearing and then table the
petition to allow us to resolve this problem. This is part of
subdivision and they have building restrictions that allow
residential only and we were intending to build office building.
In order for us to change restrictions we will have to have 60% of
lot owners agree. We would like to hear from residents tonight.
Steve Lawrence, 34313 Navin Drive: I am still baffled as to why they would want
to build an office on area that is intended to be subdivision. I
can't understand why Mr. Soave cannot lease some space in the
professional building nearing completion across the street. We
would like to see a well designed home built there. I represent
the Woodbrooke Homeowners Association. We thought it would be
(10 interesting to see what would happen if we went around with
petitions to find out what support we would have. The bottom line
here is we collected 117 signatures in four days. We have a lot
of support. They are opposed to rezoning.
Mr. Smith: You may make that petition as part of the record by presenting it
to Mr. Nagy.
Mr. Vyhnalek: $350,000 just to build on corner. What is value of property in
subdivision?
Mr. Lawrence: $130,000 to $150,000.
Mr. Vyhnalek: Would you live there?
Mr. Lawrence: Yes I would.
Mr. Vyhnalek: How long has lot been there?
Mr. Lawrence: Since 1979.
Mr. Smith: You collected 117 signatures. What percentage of homeowners in
subdivision?
Mr. Lawrence: Approximately 80 %. Some are husband and wife.
Mr. Smith: Clearly you have a majority.
9845
1:0 Mr. Kluver: There are some reasonably priced homes that were built on the
northwest corner of Eight Mile and Newburgh on exactly the same
kind of corner. I think residential homes could go up on Eight
Mile. I support the residential development of mile roads.
Mr. Morrow: There are many homes that were sold with that as a-residential
lot. To move to a different use, I just can't follow that. I
think it should be developed residential.
Charles Mirabitur, 20498 Gill: One of the things that you have to remember is that
Curtis Building had a sign and that sign came up before the City
Planning Commission and City Council and we found that we would
have to leave sign up. The only reason that lot was empty was
because of the sign. It is an attractive piece of property and it
is part of the subdivision. It seems like since I moved to
Livonia I have come to so many meetings I feel like I know
everyone here. We moved into Livonia because it was a good
community. All the other people think so too. When we bought
the property it was supposed to be a residence there.
Jim Lokar, 20564 Gill: I have to agree with Charlie. When we bought this home it
was zoned residential. First of all I look out my front window I
see berm. I see another berm along side of house. We will have
another berm - he has to have service ramp. This is ridiculous.
If he puts up office for himself, I don't think he would have a
parking problem but I just think that a residential house in this
area could do nothing but add to luxury of our neighborhood.
to, Terry Hoeft, 20520 Gill: I also object to the rezoning of this from R-3 to P.S. I
was here a number of times. I think in keeping with the
continuity of the rest of the area it would be necessary to leave
this R-3.
Ed Billings, 20542 Gill: I also oppose this zoning change and everything I have to
say has been expressed already.
Shelley Lawrence, 34313 Navin Drive: When the gentleman first purchased this lot he
was aware of how it was zoned. Another thing is once he moves
into this office and once it is rezoned, he could move out
tomorrow and move in someone who would have little concern for us
homeowners. We have a development going in right across the
street which will increase the traffic which is already a problem.
I see no reason why we need a professional office.
Mr. Vyhnalek: I think Mr. Curtis screwed up when he didn't build a house on that
lot.
Mrs. Hildebrandt: I am strongly opposed to an office building on that corner.
Northville has built some beautiful homes on Eight Mile and they
sold like hot cakes.
Mr. Lawrence: We talked about deed restrictions and we are all aware of that and
if you went through subdivision to get 60% vote, you would have
problems.
9846
t Pat Smith: Everyone has made comments that a new home could be built there.
The lot has been for sale since 1979 and all of these people did
not choose to build there.
Mr. Lawrence: It has not been for sale since 1979. A sign was on the lot.
Jane Comstock, 20212 Pollyanna: To clarify, the sign by builder was a large sign.
It has now been changed to advertise Deer Creek Subdivision. That
lot was not shown as an available lot. The home you were
referring to out in Northville that was $350,000 has an indoor
pool.
Mr. Vyhnalek: You asked for the petition to be tabled and I think it would be a
waste of time.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Smith,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-12-1-51 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mrs. Hildebrandt, seconded by Mr. Kluver and unanimously
adopted, it was
#1-13-87 RESOLVED that, pursuant to Public Hearing having been held on January 27,
1987 on Petition 86-12-1-51 by Dale A. Steltzner to rezone property located
on the southeast corner of Eight Mile and Gill Roads in the Northeast 1/4
1[0 of Section 4 from R-3 to P.S. , the City Planning Commission does hereby
recommend to the City Council that Petition 86-12-1-51 be denied for the
following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zoning is contrary to the Future Land Use Plan
which recommends low density residential use for the subject lot.
(2) The subject lot is part of a developed residential subdivision and
should, therefore, be developed as such.
(3) Other office facilities already exist in the area immediately across
Gill Road from the subject lot.
(4) The subject lot has sufficient width so as to allow its development
for residential purposes and the development of a greenbelt for
screening purposes adjacent to Eight Mile Road as required by the
Subdivision Rules and Regulations.
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. Smith, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-12-1-52
by L & H Associates to rezone property located on the east side of Farmington Road,
north of Schoolcraft in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 22 from RUF to P.S.
9847
[I, Mr. Nagy: A letter in the file from the Engineering Division states they
have no objection to this petition from an engineering standpoint.
We also have a letter in the file from Elmer F. Siterlet listing 7
property owners who are against this petition.
Don Leidal, 14600 Fairladei Petitioner: We owned that house for a number of years.
We have rented it and it is a pretty old house. It is over 40
years old. We have had problems with this house and we sold the
house and we have had to take it back because he didn't pay the
taxes and didn't pay us either. We felt that we could help the
community out by putting a real nice office building or
professional building in there. I am sure it would be an asset
and I am sure that I would not do it unless I knew I meant it.
Some of you know my reputation.
Elmer Siterlet, 33159 Scone: I would like to ask this gentleman a few questions.
Could you tell me exactly how many years you owned this property?
Mr. Leidal: 8 - 10 years.
Mr. Siterlet: Weren't you the first owner that tried to have this rezoned?
Mr. Leidal: No.
Mr. Siterlet: When the people sold you this property did they guide you?
Mr. Leidal: No. The people that owned this were an old couple and after
their death we bought it.
Mr. Siterlet: I was in front of board a good many years ago. You are all new
members. At that time at Kimberly Oaks Subdivision they tried to
put in a building and they did not want it. We don't want it. We
are opposed to it. I have four businesses behind me and it
doesn't help the appraisal of my property nor does it help the
rest of the neighborhood. These businesses have caused a lot of
problems - traffic, dirt, noise. Other neighbors complain about
all the dirt and the businesses leave their dumpsters open. I
don't need any more dirt and dust in my back yard. I am opposed
to it.
Joyce Siterlet, 33159 Scone: I am Elmer's wife, mother of eight. I spend 70 - 80%
of my time in the kitchen. We have Shaw Electric behind us who
are wonderful people who said we would not have big trucks going
in and out and we have had walls broken. We have Auto Electric
that are wonderful people also but again we have burning of oil
cans and this goes into air. We have Edison plant and Total gas
station. We moved to what we considered the most perfect city.
We love our home and plan on living there forever but we cannot
put up with another office building. It has depreciated our home
immensely.
to Mary Stretten, 14063 Westmore: In addition to all the reasons that the people have
mentioned all along Schoolcraft starting from Hubbard there are
all kinds of vacant "For Lease" spaces. The traffic is
9848
unbelievable. When I come home from work it is next to impossible
to turn on Summers to get in to subdivision. The traffic is
unreal. If the zoning is changed the other people will
subsequently creep up in that whole section. I don't want to look
out my back yard and see that.
Richard Croin, Civic Association: Our Board of Directors has voted we are against
this rezoning of property because it is within our boundaries and
we don't need professional space. There is plenty of extra space
in that area.
Mr. Morrow: Mr. Leidal said he would put something nice on there but my
concern is, I know he has some real estate problems, I am troubled
with the expansion of any P.S. zoning along Farmington Road. I
cannot support this petition.
There was no one else present wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr. Smith,
Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-12-1-52 closed.
On a motion duly made by Mr. Morrow, seconded by Mrs. Sobolewski and unanimously
adopted, it was
#1-14-87 RESOLVED that, pursuant to Public Hearing haveing been held on January 27,
1987 on Petition 86-12-1-52 by L & H Associates to rezone property located
on the east side of Farmington Road, north of Schoolcraft in the Southwest
1/4 of Section 22 from RUF to P.S. , the City Planning Commission does
hereby recommend to the City Council that Petition 86-12-1-52 be denied for
the following reasons:
(1) The proposed change of zoning would encourage similar zoning requests
on properties to the north which zoning would be detrimental to the
area.
(2) Ample similar type zoning districts and uses already exist in the area
to adequately serve the needs of the area.
(3) The proposed change of zoning will not be compatible to and in harmony
with the surrounding zoning in the area.
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. Smith, Chairman, declared the motion is carried and the foregoing resolution
adopted.
Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-12-2-41
by Basil Fernimos requesting waiver use approval to operate an automotive collision
shop within an existing building located on the west side of Stark Road, south of the
C & 0 Railway in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 28.
110 Mr. Smith, Chairman, turned the gavel over to Mr. Vyhnalek, Vice Chairman.
Mr. Nagy: There is a letter in our file from the Engineering Division
stating they have no objection to this petition from an
engineering standpoint.
9849
liey Basil Fernimos, 7136 Chadwick Ct., Canton: What I would like to say I am not
changing a zoning, I am applying for a waiver use. There isn't a
zoning for this. There is not going to be any outside storage.
Mr. Vyhnalek: What is in first part of building?
Mr. Fernimos: A machine shop.
Mr. Vyhnalek: You will have nothing to do with the rest of the building - just
the section you are renting?
Mr. Fernimos: That is correct. It is stated in lease that tenant will not leave
automobiles outside building.
Mrs. Hildebrandt: Any damaged vehicles or parts? Didn't you stress no vehicles
outside.
Mr. Fernimos: Only automobiles outside will be employees.
Mrs. Hildebrandt: No vehicles left overnight?
Mr. Fernimos: No.
Mr. Morrow: We are trying to increase shops of this nature to locate here. I
certainly hear what you are saying and I certainly hope you can
live with what you are saying as long as you don't have any cars
waiting for work.
Mr. Fernimos: I understand. If I break lease I will be thrown out.
Mr. Soranno: You will devote 1,000 square feet for storage of cars. How many
cars could you handle at one time.
Mr. Fernimos: I could probably work on 10 cars at on time and store 6 or 7.
Mr. Soranno: What will you do with parts you do not use.
Mr. Fernimos: We have dumpster that is emptied about twice a week.
Mr. Soranno: Would there ever be parts that would not fit in dumpster?
Mr. Fernimos: No.
Mrs. Smith, 34401 Capitol: I am facing the new building. I have one thing, the
noise. Don't tell me they will not open the doors in the summer.
Why is there never a buffer put up? Behind bank there is a
buffer.
Mr. Nagy: The subject building that is shown has been split in two pieces.
The buffer goes on line where it joins residential. At time of
ILO building this building they were not required to put buffer in
there. A wall will go in when the south parcel is developed.
9850
IL Mrs. Smith: As a resident, I have no choice.
Mr. Nagy: The wall will be constructed when vacant lot is built upon.
46
Mrs. Smith: I am against it for the noise.
Mr. Vyhnalek: He is just a tenant, he did not build the building.
Mrs. Smith: Where do you test cars?
Mr. Fernimos: On Stark Road.
Mr. Soranno: How far is she away from the building?
Mr. Nagy: 200 - 250 feet.
Henry Schires, 12191 Brewster: There is going to be a noise problem. I am talking
about the owner of the property not the building. I feel he
should put up a wall because it is going to be an eyesore and a
noise problem.
Mr. Vyhnalek: If someone builds north of there, there will be a wall then.
Mr. Schires: How long will that be? We don't want to have an eyesore there. I
feel they should have to put up a wall.
Mr. Vyhnalek: By ordinance they don't have to.
Mrs. Tingley, 34388 Capitol: I am the closest. I am more concerned about the noise.
A collision shop has to have the doors open in the summer. The
noise is going to go through my house.
Mr. Morrow: Could this gentleman inform us about the noise.
Mr. Fernimos: There is a lot of replacement work. There will not be a lot of
noise. The building just south of my building, I think they have
a machine shop and behind their building they have all kinds of
outside storage.
Mr. Kluver: Did we get a letter from the Fire Marshall?
Mr. Nagy: No.
Mr. Kluver: I would request a letter from the Fire Marshall because of
flammable material.
Mr. Nagy: Wayne County Air Quality Control would inspect that.
Mrs. Hughes, 12088 Brewster: We do get noise from those buildings now and I know
this is going to be a lot louder. We are thinking of the
summertime. We have been used to like living in the country. We
all have half an acre or better. All we are asking is to give us
ILO some protection from the noise.
9851
Mr. Soranno: Would you consider air conditioning your shop so you could keep
the doors closed?
410 Mr. Fernimos: I have question about the noise. They live by a railroad.

by R. L. Moles for Jacobsons Stores requesting waiver use approval to operate a
restaurant within a retail store located on the northwest corner of Six Mile and
Newburgh Roads in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 7.
Mr. Nagy: We have a letter in our file from the Engineering Division stating
• they have no objections from an engineering standpoint to this
petition.
R. L. Moles, Jackson, Michigan, representing Jacobson Stores: We are petitioning
here to operate a restaurant which will be on the second floor of
our retail store. The restaurant will be wholly owned and
operated by Jacobsons The hours of the restaurant will be from
IL 9:30 am to 5:00 pm except for Thursday and Friday nights it will
be open until 8:00 pm. No direct access from outside to
restaurant. The restaurant itself is approximately 4,000 square
41100 feet.
9853
Mrs. Sobolewski: Is this a new concept for Jacobsons?
ILMr. Moles: We have ten stores in Michigan. In those ten stores, seven of
460 them have restaurants.
Mrs. Sobolewski. As large as this one?
Mr. Moles: Some are larger.
Mrs. Sobolewski: Is it mostly lunch.
Mr. Moles: We have sandwiches, soups and quiches. We have a dinner menu.
There is a lighter menu.
Mr. Soranno: You anticipate that the primary patrons will be Jacobson shoppers
rather than from the rest of the stores in the mall?
Mr. Moles: Jacobsons is a designation store where people like it and stay for
a while. The restaurant hours will be the same as the store
hours, no longer.
Mr. Morrow: The Class C - Is it possible to operate your restaurant without
the Class C?
Mr. Moles: Yes sir. Of our seven restaurants that we operate in Michigan we
have four liquor licenses. We have applications pending in the
li remaining three and have had them pending since years ago. We
were the first liquor license awarded in the City of Grosse
Pointe.
Mr. Morrow: I am one of the biggest supporters of Jacobsons coming into this
area but as you probably well know you will trigger the domino
effect and every petitioner wants full restaurants with Class C
liquor license. I am not adverse. I have to give some thought to
the Class C.
Mr. Moles: We do not operate a bar as such.
Mr. Morrow: We will hold that in abeyance until the next petition.
There was no one in the audience wishing to be heard regarding this item and Mr.
Smith, Chairman, declared the public hearing on Petition 86-12-2-43 closed.

Commission and City Council for the Laurel Park development and the

Mrs. Naidow, Secretary, announced the next item on the agenda is Petition 86-12-2-44
by R. L. Moles for Jacobsons Stores requesting waiver use approval to utilize a Class
C Liquor License for a restaurant within a retail store located at the northwest
corner of Six Mile and Newburgh Roads in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 7.
Mr. Nagy: We have a letter in our file from the Engineering Division stating
they have no objetions from an engineering standpoint to this
petition.
Bob Moles: I guess I would continue along the line I was speaking before. We
didn't apply for liquor license necessarily to make the restaurant
successful but did apply for them because our customers want them.
We want to provide what our customers want - a glass of wine, a
bottle of beer. The restaurants with the Class C licenses are
more successful.
Ron Mardiros: I believe I can say I have never had the privilege of having a
drink at Jacobsons. I look at liquor licenses as inventory. I
think you can do very well with this restaurant without the liquor
license. I would like to see what liquor licenses we have held
for the other developments that are going in Livonia. I don't
think that is wise in a retail store.
Mike Polsinelli, on behalf of developer: When we were before you and presented
the total development, we proposed at that time that we would have
motels and hotels etc. Subsequent to that date we have been
successful in getting two hotels with full service and which
connect to the mall as well as an office building that would need
a full service restaurant and we will be back requesting Class C
41011 liquor license and would not like it to come as a surprise.
9855( .
Mr. Morrow: Mr. Nagy, who gets Class C? Who goes against quota? Perhaps you
could enlighten me.
16 Mr. Nagy: City has 13 licenses yet to be issued. As far as hotel and Class
C either one counts against city quota. We have 13 yet to be
issued and it is entirely within the prerogative of the City
Council as to worthiness to issue liquor license. The actual
award of license is another realm of City Council.
Mr. Smith: 13 left. Is that according to population.
Mr. Nagy: Based on the 1980 census.
Mr. Morrow: We have 13 left regardless of whether it is a hotel? Anything
counts?
Mr. Smith: That is correct.
Mr. Soranno: If we would approve this, because of Stuart Andersons, we would
have to make it contingent upon waiving the 1000' rule?
Mr. Nagy: That could be granted at Council level. Since this is used in
conjunction with a restaurant it meets criteria of potential
waiver by City Council.
IL Mr. Soranno: If we were to grant this and Council would grant this and other
stores come in they would have to go through same thing?
Mr. Nagy: Exactly.
Mr. Moles: We expect to be in this location a year to a year and a half
before other developments, so I would encourage you to help us by
granting the license here.
