filed a Freedom of Information Act request
for the dispatch emergency calls into the city
and township to determine if there actually
was a lag in response time. He filed his
request with both the city and township of
Plymouth.
Responses from each municipality indi-
cate that his request has been denied. The
township denied the request claiming the
recordings were the property of the city and
the city denied the request claiming that the
recordings were in the possession of the
township.
Both Township Police Chief Tom
Tiderington and City Manager Paul Sincock
have now contacted the resident, in an
attempt to help facilitate his request.
Sincock told the resident he would have to
file a third FOIA or Freedom of Information
request with the City of Northville request-
ing the recordings from the Plymouth city
station, the resident said.
Tiderington reportedly told the resident
that the recordings were stored on a comput-
er and that downloading themwas not feasi-
ble.
“I simply want to know if the reports of
lagging response times are true,” the resi-
dent, who requested anonymity, said. “That's
all I want. I think citizens have a right to
know if their safety is being impacted by
decisions their elected officials are making.
If so, something needs corrected and quick-
ly,” he said.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the City of Wayne, Michigan, will hold a Public Hearing
on Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 7:30 p.m., in the Council Chambers of Wayne City Hall,
3355 South Wayne Road, to consider the following request:
1.
Ultimate Signs has applied for the property owner at 5758 Merriman Road (Metro
PCS), for permission to install a sign. The property is located in the B-2,
Neighborhood Business Zoning
District. Section 1280.08 (b)(2) of the Planning
and Zoning Code requires that the maximum size allowed for a wall sigh
shall not exceed 1½ feet per lineal foot of building frontage.
The plans submitted to the Building Department indicate the size of the sign to be
32.66 sq. ft. where
a 30 sq. ft. is permitted, thereby requiring an 2.66 sq. ft.
variance.
The text and any maps may be examined or written comments may be submitted at the
City Clerk's Office during business hours (10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday - Thursday)
Members of the public may appear at the public hearing in person or by counsel. At the
conclusion of the Public Hearing, the Zoning Board will consider, and may act upon, this
matter.
