<br />l" f..' <br />, ) <br /> <br />JULY 24, 1979 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />Mr. Houston W. Smith, 806 Clarke Road; <br />Mrs. Fred Phillipe, 727 Gratton Road; <br />Mr. W. J. Lester, 1104 Cherokee Court; <br />Mr. Alan F. Wright, 1200 Corn Tassel Trail; <br />Mr. Forest G. Dennis, 721 Beverly Way; <br />Mrs. Dorothy G. Lewis, 1245 Sam Lion Trail; <br />Mr. William R. Woodruff, 1126 Cherokee Trail; <br />Mrs. Zoe C. Love, 917 Indian Trail; <br />Mr. Smithey C. King, Jr., 1501 Sam Lion Trail; <br />Mr. Jerry Rosenbaum, 1131 Cherokee Trail; <br />Mrs. George E. Morris, Jr., 1102 Cherokee Court; <br />Mr. Edward D. Graham, 718 Beechnut Lane; and <br />Mrs. William F. Stone, Sr., 1229 Sam Lion Trail. <br /> <br />Mr. Bill A. Adkins, Contractor, took exception to these property owners' claims that the <br /> <br />chalet-type homes, of which type he has constructed and sold over thirty within the City <br /> <br />on lots not generally adapted to conventional-type homes, would depreciate adjoining property <br /> <br />values. Mr. Adkins also supported Lanier Farm's contention that it is entitled to develop its <br /> <br />park areas for residential housing. In addition, Council's attention was called to the fact <br /> <br />that the proposed Land-Use Plan also classifies as "Permanent Open Space" certain properties <br /> <br />owned by the Whittle Family Trust (administered by The First National Bank of Martinsville & <br /> <br />Henry County) and situated within Forest Park-Druid Hills residential areas as well as a tract <br /> <br />of some twelve acres owned by Mr. Roy C. Stone, Jr., situated to the west of Knollwood Place, <br /> <br />the latter (tract) having been purchased several years ago by Mr. Roy C. Stone, Sr., as a <br /> <br />single-family residential site for his son, according to Mr. Stone, Sr., who was present at <br /> <br />this meeting and who objected to said proposed classification for this property. Concurring <br /> <br />with City Attorney Worthy's opinion, pertaining to the "assurance" facet referred to hereinabove, <br /> <br />Council elected not to enter into this controversy, deeming that the validity and/or invalidity <br /> <br />of this matter can be determined only by judicial judgment, should the parties thereto desire to <br /> <br />have such determined. Furthermore, City Attorney Worthy expressed the advisory opinion that the <br /> <br />City can not legally deprive any property owner of his or her right to usage of his or her land <br /> <br />without due compensation, where such land is adjudged developable and, too, that the proposed <br /> <br />Land-Use Plan, if adopted as is now before Council, would be in conflict with the City's <br />
