By Councilman Kleinert, seconded by Councilman Bagnall and unanimously
adopted, it was
#621-58 RESOLVED that, having considered the petition of Anna Pearson of
9220 Steele Avenue, Detroit 28, Michigan, dated September 9, 1958 which
requested that the Livonia Zoning Ordinance requiring a fifty (50) foot set-
back be amended to allow a ten (10) foot setback, the Council does hereby
deny said petition because it would require an amendment to the Zoning Or-
dinance which would not be in the best interest of the City because the
present ordinance has proven to be satisfactory oyer a long period of time.

#622-58 RESOLVED that, having considered the report and recommendation
