B'nai Moshe Q I.ok4., Rd • V.,,st Etioomti•d t,41 855-5526 to park in the adjacent Maple Ridge Condominiums streets. Traffic, landscaping and drainage concerns were the reasons trustees cited when they tabled approval of B'nai Moshe's site plan Oct. 16. Trustee Vatsis said the synagogue's tax exempt status was the major reason he voted against B'nai Moshe's proposal Nov. 20. He believes West Bloom- field Township has enough tax exempt property. Accor- ding to his figures, about 20 percent of the township's land including churches, synagogues, parks, schools and some commercial de- velopment are tax exempt. In the last few years, Vat- sis has voted against any project, including two chur- ches and two Orchard Lake Road office developments, which have tax exempt status. In 1986, he backed site plan approval for Congrega- tion Shomrey Emunah-Ohel Moed on Farmington Road as well as Pine Hill Con- gregational Church on Mid- dlebelt Road his voting record shows. But both of those were small buildings and he felt they would have little impact on the area. Vatsis said he voted against B'nai Moshe because he does not want West Bloomfield to suffer from ur- ban sprawl as people move north from Southfield and Oak Park. Trustee and township treasurer Denise Hammond said she voted against B'nai Moshe in part because the synagogue would interfere with the development of a five-acre parcel south owned by Tony and Marianne Iafrate. Attorneys Chris Varjabe- dian and James Iafrate had told the board they had nothing against the synagogue, but it would pre- vent the Iafrates from de- veloping an "economically feasible" seven-lot single- family subdivision on the parcel. If the synagogue goes in, the best way to develop his parents' land would be to rezone the site from single- family to multi-family, James Iafrate said. His parents, who have owned the parcel since 1976, have continually received offers from developers inter- ested in building on that site and the 15 acres that B'nai Moshe wants, he said. About five years ago the three property owners had a purchase option with a de- veloper who wanted to put a convalescent home on the site, Iafrate said. But the board turned down that pro- posal and the deal fell through. Glagoin said in early 1988, her h-.4;,b,-ind and the family of John Parkkilla who own the five acre parcel south of Maple Ridge Con- dominiums, drew up a site plan for a single-family sub- division on the entire 20 acres. The Iafrates, she said, were not interested in de- veloping it at that time. Iafrate said he does not remember such a proposal. In August 1988, B'nai Moshe acquired an option to purchase the Glagola and Parkkilla parcels for about $665,000. Roth said the synagogue had spoken to the Iafrates Roth expects to know by next week whether a reconsideration will be granted. about purchasing their property, but they wanted about $300,000. According to the latest township tax assessments the Iafrate parcel has a-market value of $127,450. Because, the synagogue has an option to purchase the Glagola and Parkkilla 15 acres it does not need the Iafrate property, Roth said. B'nai Moshe has extended the purchase option, which expired in. early November, to Dec. 21. The extension is costing the synagogue about $3,000. The synagogue is not look- ing at any other parcel in West Bloomfield if this deal fails, Roth said. "If this does not succeed in West Bloomfield on this parcel, I don't see why it would work on any other parcel. There is nothing wrong with our proposal." ❑ B'nai David Is Not Worried SUSAN GRANT Staff Writer A lthough B'nai Moshe is having trouble get- ting permission to build a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Cong.
