22 TUE SDA Y FEBRUARY 28, 1978 Also, in tentative acceptance of the Planning Commission's report and recommendation that Graves Supply Company's petitinn--seeking the rezoning from "R-6 Residential" to "M-l Industrial" of petitioner's property identified as "Parcel B" and "Parcel C" situated on the west side of Harris Street--be approved, Council called for a duly-advertised public hearing to be conducted thereon at Council's meeting scheduled for March 28, 1978. In response to Council's referral to the Planning Commission, from Council's February 14th meeting, of Dr. William M. Chadduck' s Application for a Special-Use Permit to allow certain development of Dr. Chadduck's property in the Dudley Street area, the Planning Commission reported that, inasmuch as Dr. Chadduck's develop- ment need can be satisfied through the obtaining of a variance from required set-backs, the Planning Commission reported that Dr. Chadduck has been advised to appear before the City's Board of Zoning Appeals for such purpose. With regard to several pieces of legis1ation--of special significance to the City of Martinsv.l1le--pending before the 1978 Virginia General Assembly, Councilman Greene reported that the several bills introduced by The Honorable Thomas Michie, Delegate, of Charlottesville, Virginia, which succeeded in supplanting the recommendations of the Special Task Force on Annexation, of which Councilman Greene was a member, and using a different approach on annexation problems than that proposed by the Special Task Force, now appear doomed for 1978. City Manager Noland reported that Senate Bill No. 163, providing for the establishment of electric authorities in Virginia, has been approved by the Virginia Senate (by a vote of thirty-to-nine), and that he appeared on February 28, 1978 before the House Sub-Committee on Corporations, Insurance & Banking and testified on behalf of eight Virginia cities and six Virginia towns who are supporting this proposed legislation and will appear before the full Committee on March 2nd in this cause.
