<br />+2~ <br /> <br />TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1986 <br /> <br />-. <br /> <br />September 5, 1978, to designate the roadway, when constructed, as Mulberry Road. In <br /> <br />addition, the Commission recommended that multiple names for continuous streets <br /> <br />should be avoided and, too, noted that other streets in Martinsville serve both <br /> <br />residential and commercial purposes. Meanwhile, in his report on this subject dated <br /> <br />November 17, 1986, City Manager Brown considered it ".....appropriate to continue <br /> <br />the name of Mulberry Road from Starling Avenue or from Cleveland Avenue to the <br /> <br />Forest Park Country Club because of its residential characteristics and to extend <br /> <br />,-. <br /> <br />Market Street along the new roadway from West Church Street to Cleveland Avenue or <br /> <br />Starling Avenue because of the probable development of this street commercially in <br /> <br />the future. This would avoid a potential problem of heavy trucks turning into the <br /> <br />residential section of Mulberry, in many cases not knowing that one end of the <br /> <br />street is commerical and the other residential. This would eliminate a problem of <br /> <br />numbering the blocks since numbers would normally begin at Bridge Street and extend <br /> <br />east, west, north and south." In addition, City Manager Brown reported that the <br /> <br />Planning Commission is now considering the need to rezone properties and/or areas <br /> <br />(probably to other than residential and/or from residential to commercial or profes- <br /> <br />sional) along the recently-completed roadway (i.e., from Ellsworth Street to Market <br /> <br />Street). In opposition to the Planning Commission's recommendation and generally <br /> <br />coinciding with City Manager Brown's position on this matter, a petition was pre- <br /> <br />sented to Council signed by 252 owners of properties along Mulberry Road, from 411 <br /> <br />Mulberry Road eastward or southeastward to Forest Park Country Club, with a number <br /> <br />of the petitioners being present, some of whom--as follows--spoke to this matter: <br /> <br />1. Mrs. Eydie (Barry A.) Greene, 1309 Mulberry Road; <br />2. Mr. Joseph D. Higgins, 1233 Mulberry Road; <br />3. Mrs. Christine M. Bennett, 807 Mulberry Road; <br />4. Mr. Edward Sink, 1226 Mulberry Road; <br />5. Mr. William P. Swanson, 1224 Mulberry Road; <br />6. Dr. Jimmie L. Mask, 1005 Mulberry Road; and <br />7. Mr. Jackson C. Dodge, 944 Mulberry Road (formerly associated with Lanier <br />Farm, Inc., and Rives S. Brown, Realtor, developer of City's Forest Park <br />and Druid Hills Subdivisions). <br />
