3. Lee Hawkins 105 Oak Street
Upon complaint by several neighbors regarding the loading and unloading
of a fast food /beverage trailer late at night, the Zoning Administrator
has ruled that a business is being conducted at 105 Oak Street. As
stated in the attached letter from the Zoning Administrator, the owner
was requested to obtain a home occupation special exception. By tele-
phone, Mr. Hawkins indicated that no business has been conducted at this
address and that the trailer is merely being parked on site between
"Fairs He also suggested that difficulty with a neighbor probably
initiated the complaint. Enclosed is a copy of the written complaint
by Mr. Kuchera.
Section 10 -8 -4: Appeals of the Zoning Code outlines the procedure
being followed. It is left to a judgement by the Board of Adjustment
as to the way in which the matter should be handled. It does raise
questions about any business service in the community which requires
a separate vehicle and the manner in which the vehicle can be prepared
for the next "job If the Board decides in favor of the Zoning
Administrator, Mr. Hawkins would be required to seek a Home Occupation
Conditional Use or eliminate the offending vehicles.
4. Farmington Hills Preliminary Plat
The Zoning Administrator asked me to contact Harold Israelson regarding
the interest of this development group to appear before the City Council
on August 18, 1986. After checking with principals of the group, they
decided to skip the City Council session and appear before the Planning
Commission instead. Further information has not been supplied but
Mr. Israelson indicated that the partners would be meeting with
representatives of the Akin Estate.
5. Robert Stegmaier Concept Plan 60 acres
Harold Israelson has submitted two schematic plans for consideration
by the Planning Commission. The City staff has discussed both proposals
and has several concerns. The City Engineer would like the developer
to recognize future realignment of County 31 to a straight north /south
location between 190th and 195th Streets. When this occurs, the
Stegmaier property could be directly linked with the developing area to
the south known as Farmington Hills. In addition, both the Zoning
Administrator and the Planner would like the stub street shown in
Farmington Hills plat to be extended northward into the Stegmaier land
to enhance neighborhood development. This may represent a contradiction
in advice previously given since such a street will traverse slopes in
excess of 20
The Park Director has asked for a dedicated park of approximately
5 acres to serve both the Stegmaier land a a portion of Farmington
Hills as a neighborhood facility. He has indicated a preference for
a land area that includes both flat surfaces for active recreation
as well as sloping land with mature tree cover.
The Planner is currently working on a concept which incorporates
these suggestions. A proposal will be available at the meeting for
Commission discussion.
