zoning ordinance, Mr. Nichols movcd that such appeal be granted

ITEM #2 - Request of George Hirsch for a special exception
to allow a doctor's office.
8
Mr. Blanton stated that the property consisted of a single
family home and a vacant lot that he proposes to use for off-
street parking.
Mr. Wolle, planning official, reported a change of zoning
for the area is being considered to provide for single family
homes from DeLeon north on the West side of Highland, as the
majority now are single family. It may be zoned to include
some duplexes or small low density apartments. Therefore, he
felt that a doctor's office would not fit into the plans of the
proposed comprehensive plan and rezoning of the area. Dr. J. F.
Winterstein, the proposed purchaser of the property, stated
that the zoning law now allows a doctor's office by a special
exception in an RM-28 area. He also mentioned businesses
approximately a block West of this property. Mr. George Hirsch,
present owner of the property, spoke in favor of the special
exception. Mr. Robert Van Bomel spoke in opposition and pre-
sented a petition with 58 signatures on it.
The City Clerk reported a phone call from Mrs. Nora Monroe
in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan, opposing the request as her
property is immediately West of the applicant's and stated that
there was a letter in the mail. The Clerk .also read a lette~ of
objection from Robert W. Wilson. In answer to a question he
reported that most of the signatures on the petition appeared to
be East of Highland Ave. in the 1500 and 1600 blocks of
Cleveland Street.
Upon consideration of the appeal of George Hirsch from the
decision of the building official concerning a special exception
to allow a doctor's office on Lots 1 to 4 incl., Block D,
Highland Grove Sub., whicb property is located on the southwest
corner of Cleveland St.,and South Highland Ave. and is zoned
RM-28 (high density multi-family), it appearing, after this duly
constituted public hearing that the proposed use is not consist-
ent with the general zoning plan and with the public interest,
Mr. Homer moved that said appeal be denied in accordance with the
application submitted therewith. Mr. Youngstrom seconded the
motion which ca~ried unanimOUSly.
