f~ .) \; Y JULY 10, 1979 TUESDAY inspection of the street and adjacent properties during the afternoon of July 10, 1979, at which time certain information--not heretofore presented nor available--was introduced in the form of a "plan" which Attorney Benjamin R. Gardner, Counsel for the petitioners, claimed would be devastating to his clients' properties if such plan (to allow for the development of G Street) is adopted; however, Attorney Robert A. Williams, Counsel for Martinsville Homebuilders, claimed that the "new plan" would allow for the development of G Street without undue hardship to other property owners. Assistant City Manager-Public Works Director George W. Brown informed Council that G Street, for example, because of its existence prior to the adoption of the City's Subdivision Ordinance in 1958, could be developed under the less stringent requirements of the City's Water & Sewer Extension Ordinance. Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council re-referred this petition and the newly-developed information to the Planning Commission for its re-evaluation. Upon motion, duly seconded and carried by a vote of four-to-one (Councilman \vest voting "No"), and upon recommendation by the City's administrative staff, Council revised its Housing Assistance Plan (Table III - Goals for Lower Income Housing Assistance) to reflect the recently- granted permit to Fralin & Waldron for its proposed apartment complex for the handicapped and/or elderly and, also, to meet the percentage requirements established by the U. S. Department of Housing & Urban Development as to categories of households to be assisted. Council referred to the Planning Commission, for its consideration and recommendation, a Special-Use Permit Application filed by Garrett Wells & Associates, seeking permission and authorization for the construction of (and utility service for) petitioner's proposed twenty-unit Hydenwood Apartment complex to be located on Banks Road Extension.
