<br />TUESDAY
<br />
<br />NOVEMBER 25, 1969
<br />
<br />In tentative acceptance of the Planning Commission's favorable report, Council
<br />
<br />called for a public hearing to be conducted at Council's forthcoming--and
<br />
<br />rescheduled--second meeting in December, 1969, viz., Thursday, December 18,
<br />
<br />1969, beginning at 7:30 P.M., on petition of Lanier Farm, Inc., requesting
<br />
<br />the rezoning of its property on the south side of Spruce Street, between
<br />
<br />the east side of Indian Trail and the rear of properties fronting the west
<br />
<br />side of Windsor Lane.
<br />
<br />Also, in tentative acceptance of the Planning Commission's reports, Council
<br />
<br />called for public hearings, also to be conducted at Council's December 18th
<br />
<br />meeting, on the following requests (as amended) submitted by G. C. Y., Inc.:
<br />
<br />(1) that the following lots, owned by petitioner and located to the
<br />rear of the former Club Martinique building, be rezoned to "C-3",
<br />viz., Nos. 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32, and 33; and
<br />
<br />(2) that the portion of a twenty-foot street, off Boden Street,
<br />between Lots Nos. 27, 28, 30, and 31, be closed, vacated and
<br />abandoned.
<br />
<br />Council also authorized Mayor Renick to appoint a Board of Viewers to
<br />
<br />perform the statutory duties required in the street-closing matter.
<br />
<br />Council acknowledged with appreciation the following November 21st statement
<br />
<br />of general policy submitted by the Planning Commission, through its Chairman,
<br />
<br />Mr. Leon Globman:
<br />
<br />1. From a planning and development point of view, consolidation
<br />of Martinsville and Henry County would be highly desirable,
<br />assuming an agreement fair to both political subdivisions
<br />could be reached. Specifically, problems in many areas transcend
<br />political boundaries. This becomes immediately apparent in areas
<br />of zoning, street planning and development, sewage services where
<br />terrain is more important than boundaries, and in other areas
<br />of planning.
