To‎:‎ "‎Member Gaber raised three issues for possible inclusion in the ‎

ordinance‎: ‎some kind of relief for an individual property owner ‎

who finds himself subject to the Tree Conservation Ordinance ‎

and the resultant financial hardship; house clearing limits for ‎

large lot subdivisions; situations in which a long period of time ‎

elapses between plat approval and land improvements not the ‎

fault of the developer such as drainage installations, causing ‎

the developer to no longer be in compliance with the tree ‎

permit‎. ‎

Mr‎. ‎Rizzardi added that, as staff and the Planning Commission gain a ‎

different perspective of trees, many different issues will surface, such ‎

as the ones mentioned this evening‎. ‎Different approaches could ‎

include woodstands and open spaces, which he believed would ‎

resolve many of the issues mentioned‎."‎

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

2000-1442

Request for Revised Tentative Preliminary Plat Recommendation ‎- ‎File No‎. ‎

87‎-‎902 ‎- ‎Pine Creek Estates, a ‎10‎-‎lot subdivision on ‎9‎.‎19 ‎acres, located on the ‎

south side of Tienken, west of Adams, Parcel No‎. ‎15‎-‎07‎-‎100‎-‎016‎, zoned R‎-‎2‎, ‎

One Family Residential, Frank Ferro, F&M Construction, ‎3675 ‎Tienken Road, ‎

Rochester Hills, MI ‎48306‎, Applicant‎

(‎Reference‎: ‎Staff Report prepared by Paul Rizzardi dated June ‎23‎, ‎1997 ‎has been ‎

placed on file and by reference becomes part of the record hereof‎.)‎

Present were Mr‎. ‎Frank Ferro and Mr‎. ‎Matteo Ferro of F&M Construction‎.‎

Mr‎. ‎Rizzardi summarized the staff report‎. ‎The two items before the commission this ‎

evening are revised tentative preliminary plat approval and final preliminary plat ‎

approval‎. ‎The site did receive tentative preliminary plat approval several years ago ‎

which expired in October ‎1995‎. ‎One of the conditions of the approval was a ‎

construction access off Tienken directly into the property‎. ‎Looking at how this ‎

property needs to be developed from the construction phase, one of the first elements ‎

to be developed is the sedimentation and detention basins‎. ‎Once that area is ‎

constructed, there is no access from Tienken into the interior of the subdivision without ‎

crossing wetlands‎. ‎Staff is recommending that this condition of tentative preliminary ‎

plat approval be deleted‎. ‎As a result, revised tentative preliminary plat approval is ‎

required rather than just an extension‎. ‎The final preliminary plat is consistent with the ‎

tentative preliminary plat and previous approvals with the exception already ‎

mentioned; therefore, staff recommends approval with the findings outlined in the staff ‎

report‎. ‎In the past when plats have expired, extensions are usually allowed‎. ‎

Mr‎. ‎Frank Ferro stated that they have been working with the city and going back and ‎

forth with Engineering Services on a continual basis‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Rizzardi concurred‎.‎

Item ‎1‎. ‎Approval of Revised Tentative Preliminary Plat ‎

MOTION‎ by Boswell, seconded by Robbins, in the matter of File No‎. ‎87‎-‎902 ‎(‎Pine ‎

Creek Estates‎)‎, that the Planning Commission ‎recommend approval of the Revised ‎

Tentative Preliminary Plat‎ based on plans dated received April ‎17‎, ‎1997 ‎by the ‎

City of Rochester Hills Planning Department and incorporating the seven findings and ‎

one condition in the Staff Report dated June ‎23‎, ‎1997‎, such approval to be effective ‎

until July ‎1‎, ‎1998‎.‎

FINDINGS‎:‎

1‎.‎ A complete application for tentative approval of the preliminary plat has been ‎

submitted in accordance with Chapter ‎4-01‎, Subdivision Control, of the Code ‎

of Ordinances‎.‎

2‎.‎ All applicable ordinance provisions can be met‎.‎

3‎.‎ Zoning requirements for an R‎-2‎, One Family Residential development can be met‎. ‎

The proposed lot sizes are consistent with R‎-2‎ standards and in some cases ‎

exceed the minimum requirements‎.‎

4‎.‎ Adequate public utilities are available to the site‎.‎

5‎.‎ The proposed plat is consistent with stated policies and objectives for ‎

single‎-‎family residential development as contained in the City‎’‎s Master Land ‎

Use Plan‎.‎

6‎.‎ A reasonable street orientation and lot layout has been proposed‎. ‎All lots will ‎

have frontage on a public road‎. ‎Pedestrian walkways have been provided for ‎

easy access to and from main roads‎.‎

7‎.‎ An acceptable resource management plan has been proposed; minimal tree ‎

removal and disruption of regulated wetlands will result with the construction ‎

of roads and utilities to serve the development‎. ‎A plan to replace and ‎

minimize the disturbance has been proposed by the applicant‎.‎

CONDITION‎:‎

1‎.‎ That the location of the sanitary sewer is to be reviewed by staff and the ‎

proprietor of the plat to determine if the utility can be built in a location less ‎

disruptive to existing trees; if a change is deemed appropriate, it is to be ‎

reflected on the preliminary plat‎.‎

2000-1752

Request for Final approval of the Preliminary Plat ‎- ‎File No‎. ‎87‎-‎902 ‎- ‎Pine Creek ‎

Estates‎

MOTION‎ by Nowicki, seconded by Robbins, in the matter of File No‎. ‎87‎-‎902 ‎

(‎Pine Creek Estates‎)‎, that the Planning Commission ‎recommend approval of the ‎

Final Preliminary Plat‎ eliminating the requirement for a construction road off ‎

Tienken and based on plans dated received April ‎17‎, ‎1997 ‎by the City of Rochester ‎

Hills Planning Department and incorporating the four findings and one condition in the ‎

Staff Report dated June ‎23‎, ‎1997‎, plus a second condition‎.‎

FINDINGS‎:‎

1‎.‎ The Final Preliminary Plat is consistent with the Tentative Preliminary Plat‎. ‎The ‎

applicant is, however, unable to meet one of the conditions of the original ‎

tentative preliminary plat, and is requesting approval of the revised tentative ‎

preliminary plat at this time to address this issue of the construction road with ‎

direct access to Tienken Road‎.‎

2‎.‎ The submitted plans meet all the requirements of the Subdivision Control ‎

Ordinance for Final Approval of the Preliminary Plat‎.‎

3‎.‎ All applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Control ‎

Ordinance, and Subdivision Control Act and other applicable ordinances can ‎

be met as demonstrated in the plat drawings prepared by Danna, Mauro & ‎

Associates and dated received by the Rochester Hills Planning Department ‎

April ‎17‎, ‎1997‎.‎

4‎.‎ The applicant has the necessary approvals and has extended the necessary ‎

permits from the outside reviewing authorities‎.‎

CONDITIONS‎:‎

1‎.‎ The applicant revise the tree preservation plan to indicate that tree protection ‎

fencing will be placed along the rear edge of the proposed sidewalk along the ‎

north and south sides of the proposed Rosewood Drive‎.‎

2‎.‎ That City Council has approved the tentative preliminary plat before the final ‎

preliminary plat‎. ‎

2000-1753

Discuss plans to develop a ‎3‎.‎65‎-‎acre parcel at the southeast corner of M‎-‎59 ‎

and Crooks Rd‎. (‎conceptual purposes only‎)‎

(‎Ref‎: ‎Letter from George Cueter, Cueter Investment Company, ‎19802 ‎Mack Avenue, ‎

Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan ‎48236 ‎dated received by the City of Rochester Hills ‎

June ‎19‎, ‎1997 ‎has been placed on file and by reference becomes a part of the record ‎

hereof‎.)‎

Member Nowicki pointed out that the subject development appears to be a potential ‎

rezoning request, in which case it would border on contract zoning which is not legal in ‎

the State of Michigan‎. ‎The Chair pointed out that the Planning Commission can ‎

decide not to hear any discussion on this matter if desired‎.‎

Mr‎. ‎Cueter introduced himself and acknowledged that he is sensitive to Mr‎. ‎

Nowicki‎’‎s comments‎. ‎He gave a brief update on what has happened with the ‎

property‎. ‎Marriott bought the property some years ago when it was zoned B‎-‎4‎, ‎

Freeway Service Business with the intention of building a hotel on the site, being ‎

aware of the height restrictions but not aware that there was a two‎-‎story limitation‎. ‎

When the hotel plans were submitted, they discovered the two‎-‎story limitation‎. ‎

Marriott then decided to dispose of the property and build in Auburn Hills instead‎. ‎

Marriott finally was able to sell off a portion of the property to Mr‎. ‎Versaci to build ‎

the Burger King restaurant‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Versaci subsequently needed to acquire additional ‎

land to meet ordinance requirements for the restaurant‎. ‎Before Mr‎. ‎Versaci was able ‎

to purchase the additional land, it was sold to Vic Tanny‎. ‎During the development ‎

process Vic Tanny discovered the facility was not permitted in the current zoning ‎

classification of the property, which had been changed to I‎-‎1‎, Light Industrial‎. ‎

Because of the time involved in all this, Vic Tanny dropped the site and built in Troy ‎

instead‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Cueter explained that they allowed the zoning to be reduced to I‎-‎1‎, Light ‎

Industrial because they thought they had a viable buyer for the property‎. ‎So they ‎

ended up selling the balance of the property to Mr‎. ‎Versaci‎. ‎Marriott made a mistake ‎

in allowing the property to be rezoned from B‎-‎4‎, Freeway Service Business to I‎-‎1‎, ‎

Light Industrial‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Cueter‎’‎s reason for appearing before the commission was to ‎

look for guidance‎. ‎He has a client who is willing to spend some money if he has some ‎

assurance there is a chance to rezone the property back to B‎-‎4‎, Freeway Service ‎

Business‎. ‎The subject site is a very attractive location, better than near I‎-‎75‎.‎

The Chair responded there is always a chance because the Planning Commission can ‎

make no decision on a rezoning tonight‎. ‎The Chair remembered that recent master ‎

plan discussions have included the possibility of changing or eliminating the B‎-‎4 ‎zoning ‎

classification‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Rizzardi added ORT, Office Research Technology zoning might be ‎

better suited to the subject site because it would allow three‎-‎story structures ‎

particularly in light of the master plan update‎. ‎

Members Nowicki and Rosen cautioned against discussing a potential rezoning ‎

request tonight without the benefit of a public hearing‎. ‎Member Rosen refreshed ‎

memories that the Planning Commission had recommended that the property not be ‎

split and rezoned because they were concerned about the possibility of what is ‎

occurring now‎. ‎He recalled the reason Burger King needed additional property had ‎

to do with a cross‎-‎access arrangement for TAN Industrial Drive‎. ‎The Planning ‎

Commission is very cautious about planning for the moment and not looking at the ‎

long‎-‎term‎. ‎He would not want to see an attitude where the Planning Commission is ‎

blamed for the Master Land Use Plan or zoning recommendations because people ‎

have mismanaged their properties‎. ‎The proper forum for discussing the subject item ‎

would be during the Master Plan Update because options can be discussed at that ‎

time without the danger of ‎"‎spot zoning‎" ‎or ‎"‎contract zoning‎." ‎Tonight‎’‎s meeting is not ‎

the proper place for this discussion‎.‎

The Chair had no problem with this discussion occurring tonight and added that ‎

Master Plan discussions are in the early stages and no decisions have been made ‎

regarding changes in zoning classifications for particular parcels‎. ‎The Chair repeated ‎

that the Planning Commission cannot consider contract or spot zoning for an individual ‎

property owner‎. ‎He defined contract zoning as placing conditions on a rezoning ‎

request, such as approving a rezoning for a specific motel if city personnel can get ‎

rooms anytime they want‎. ‎

The Chair summarized that, based on tonight‎’‎s discussion, the applicant could decide ‎

to pursue a rezoning request to ORT or SP or whatever else he felt would be ‎

appropriate‎.‎

Discussed

2000-1754

Discuss plans to develop a vacant ‎4‎.‎18‎-‎acre parcel on the south side of Walton, ‎

east of Old Perch ‎(‎for conceptual purposes only‎). ‎NOTE‎: (‎Public Hearing and ‎

Rezoning Request for this item is scheduled for July ‎15‎, ‎1997‎. ‎The applicant ‎

cannot attend and requested to make a presentation at this meeting‎. ‎

Applicant's representative will attend the Public Hearing‎).‎

Present were Frank and Mario Moceri, and Ms‎. ‎Kelly Poniers of Moceri ‎

Development Corporation; Andy Sackmar, representative for the sellers of the ‎

subject property‎.‎

Mr‎. ‎Frank Moceri described the parcel and the existing uses surrounding the site‎. ‎To ‎

the east are the Huntington Park condominiums which are zoned RM‎-‎1‎, Multiple ‎

Family Residential; to the south and west are existing single family homes zoned R‎-‎1‎, ‎

One Family Residential; to the north are existing single family homes zoned R‎-‎3‎, One ‎

Family Residential‎. ‎They would like to build attached condominium units which would ‎

complement Huntington Park‎. ‎An existing old farm house on the site has not been ‎

maintained‎. ‎They took the liberty of introducing the concept to the neighboring ‎

homeowners to the south and west, who were very receptive to the idea and were ‎

willing to enter into a very restrictive covenant which has already been executed‎. ‎This ‎

covenant basically says if the rezoning is approved, the proposed development would ‎

be built‎. ‎The fronts and backs of the units would have mirror images, acceptable ‎

berms, garages would not be visible because of the berms and screening, with only ‎

one curbcut on Walton Boulevard to serve the proposed ‎30 ‎residents of the ‎

development‎. ‎The development would consist of three buildings with ten units in each ‎

building‎. ‎On‎-‎site retention would be landscaped to appear as an attractive water ‎

feature, possibly with a fountain‎. ‎If a building permit is not obtained within a year, the ‎

covenant with the neighboring homeowners would be null and void‎. ‎They have ‎

agreements with all the abutting homeowners except one directly behind Huntington ‎

Park on Black Maple, who they just have not been able to catch up with‎. ‎He ‎

suggested driving by a similar development called Aberdeen Village at ‎26 ‎Mile and ‎

Mound‎.‎

Member Rosen stated it‎’‎s always a good idea to inform the neighboring homeowners ‎

so that they will have time to provide input if they so desire‎.‎

Several commissioners inquired if the neighboring property owners realize that, if the ‎

subject site is rezoned, rezoning will stay with the land regardless of who develops it‎. ‎

Even if the restrictive covenant becomes void, the rezoning would remain‎.‎

Plan Update; Absences; Minutes‎

C‎.‎ Planning Commission Representative to Crooks Road Widening ‎

Task Force‎

Mr‎. ‎Steve Dearing, City Traffic Engineer has asked for a Planning Commission ‎

member to be appointed for the subject task force‎. ‎Member Paul Krupa volunteered ‎

for this task force‎.‎

____________________________‎

D‎.‎ Preservation Plan Commission‎

In the near future staff will be asking for three Planning Commission representatives to ‎

serve on the Preservation Plan Commission and work with the Historic Districts ‎

Commission to create a historic preservation plan‎.‎

_____________________________‎

E‎.‎ Walnut Brooks Estates‎

Mr‎. ‎Kaiser updated the commission on the status of the development‎’‎s request for the ‎

City to vacate the streets with the intention of allowing Walnut Brook Estates to close ‎

the development off at Rockhaven and South Boulevard‎. ‎At the June ‎25‎, ‎1997 ‎

meeting City Council approved the vacation of the streets on a ‎6‎-‎1 ‎vote, and the ‎

Mayor subsequently vetoed that action‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Kaiser has sent a memo to the Mayor ‎

before sharing it with the Planning Commission because he knew the Mayor would ‎

have needed to act by Saturday, June ‎28‎, ‎1997 ‎to veto Council‎’‎s action‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Kaiser ‎

wrote the Mayor on his own, without the request or insistence of anyone else, asking ‎

him to consider what Council did and the various repercussions of that action‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎

Kaiser made it clear that he was writing on his own behalf and not as the result of any ‎

discussion or decision by any other person on the Planning Commission‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Kaiser ‎

understood that this item was expected to be discussed at tomorrow night‎’‎s City ‎

Council meeting on July ‎2‎, ‎1997 ‎with the intention of overriding the Mayor‎’‎s veto‎. ‎

Council is not required to act that quickly to override the veto‎. ‎In his memo Mr‎. ‎

Kaiser avoided discussing the relative merits and demerits of Council‎’‎s decision, ‎

although he did comment on what he thought the important issues were and what the ‎

criteria should have been for considering the public health, safety and welfare of the ‎

residents of the City of Rochester Hills‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Kaiser‎’‎s memo also cited a section in the ‎

Municipal Planning Act that would seem to indicate that Council‎’‎s action was an ‎

unlawful one ‎-- ‎if not voidable in that no council, just as no corporate directorship, can ‎

commit an act that they have no power to do‎. ‎The Municipal Planning Act would ‎

seem to say that Council should have sent this to the Planning Commission first for a ‎

public hearing and a recommendation to City Council‎. ‎The Mayor has brought this ‎

provision to the attention of the city attorney, and hopefully by tomorrow night the city ‎

attorney will offer an opinion on this issue‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Kaiser will make copies of his memo ‎

available to the Planning Commission‎. ‎Mr‎. ‎Kaiser indicated that it would appear that ‎

City Council may subject themselves to a lawsuit by the Planning Commission, the ‎

Mayor, or by any citizen if they let their decision stand‎. ‎

Member Nowicki indicated willingness to support Mr‎. ‎Kaiser‎’‎s memo and stated he ‎

has the same understanding of the Municipal Planning Act‎. ‎

Mr‎. ‎Kaiser stated that the neighboring subdivision is very upset about this because ‎

they made a similar request in the past and were denied‎. ‎He didn‎’‎t think it was right ‎

to treat one group differently than another because one can afford to do it and the ‎

other can‎’‎t‎.‎

F‎.‎ Transportation Plan Update‎

Member Robbins discussed the letter addressed to him dated June ‎20‎, ‎1997 ‎from the ‎

Road Commission for Oakland County regarding the accuracy of traffic counts by the ‎

FAST‎-‎TRAC system as part of the Transportation Plan Update‎. ‎

G‎.‎ Absences‎

Members Ruggiero and Krupa reported they would be absent from the July ‎15‎, ‎1997 ‎

Planning Commission meeting‎. ‎Member Nowicki will be absent from the July ‎29‎, ‎

1997 ‎Special Planning Commission meeting‎.‎

_______________________‎

H‎.‎ Minutes‎

Member Krupa requested that more details of discussions be reinstated in the minutes‎. ‎

He was concerned with posterity‎’‎s difficulty understanding the issues as reported in ‎

recent condensed minutes‎. ‎The Chair and Member Nowicki pointed out that ‎

approval of the minutes can be delayed to allow for the inclusion of more detail on a ‎

specific item when desired‎. ‎Several commissioners concurred‎. ‎Member ‎

Ramanauskas stated that people tend to remember what their own concerns were ‎

about a particular project; it‎’‎s other people‎’‎s comments that they forget even if they ‎

were important‎. ‎When our own comments in the minutes appear to be accurate, then ‎

we approve the minutes‎. ‎The Chair will discuss the issue with staff‎. ‎Members Rosen ‎

and Krupa referenced the minutes of the May ‎6‎, ‎1997 ‎Planning Commission meeting ‎

as a good example of the level of detail desired‎. ‎
