TUESDAY, August 13, 2002 <br /> <br />Kendrick, President of the Martinsville-Henry County Historical Society, was at the meeting and approached <br />Council. Mr. Kendrick said he was appointed Henry County's Archivist in 1992 for the exclusive purpose of <br />preserving records of history. Council Member Dallas asked to table the request in order to seek input from <br />local organizations. Council Member Dallas feels that a record of past events may be detrimental to the City, <br />and public input is necessary prior to reaching a decision for Mr. DeHart's request. Mr. Kendrick agreed to <br />speak before local organizations to clarify any concerns. Council, by consensus, agreed to table the request <br />until such feedback is assimilated. <br /> <br />Council considered both a Public Hearing and adoption, on first reading, of Ordinance 2002-10, upon a <br />request by the Planning Commission to amend Zoning Ordinance Section XIII, Business and Manufacturing <br />Districts. Mr. George Hayfield, Associate Planner, offered an overview of the request. Mr. Hayfield stated <br />that during the Planning Commission's June 27, 2002 meeting, a Public Hearing was conducted on the <br />matter, on request from City Staff. Proposed amendments affect mostly B-l, M-l, and M-2 districts, and is <br />largely administrative in nature. Numerous outdated and ambiguous terms were removed and replaced by <br />current planning terminology and other terms changed for ease of understanding. One substantive change <br />proposed is removal of transient storage of hazardous wastes as a use allowed by special use permit. <br />Following discussion of the proposed amendments, in which no opposition was expressed, the Planning <br />Commission voted unanimously to recommend to City Council that the Zoning Ordinance be amended, as <br />proposed. Council's Public Hearing was opened and subsequently closed due to no one spehking. Council <br />moved upon motion duly seconded, with all members voting by recorded vote: Vote 4-0; Yeas (4)- Teague, <br />Roop, Cobbe, and Fen-ill; Nays (0)- None; Abstain (1) - Dallas, to approve the Ordinance, on first reading. <br /> <br /> Ordinance No. 2002-10 <br /> <br />AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND, REVISE, AND REORDAIN ZONING ORDINANCE SECTION XIII, BUSINESS <br />AND MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS, OF THE CITY OF MARTINSVILLE, VIRGINIA <br /> <br />BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MARTINSVILLE, VIRGINIA, in <br /> <br /> <br />
