Mr. Earle W. Greene, Realtor, Agent for Fralin & Waldron, Inc., who initiated the rezoning petition approved by Council on August l7, 1971 as to the Whittle Family Trust tract off Brookdale Road, on which Fralin & Waldron proposes to construct and operate a nursing home, appeared before Council in support of this firm's request (filed September 28, 1971) that Council endorse the project and the need therefor in support of this firm's efforts to obtain reinstatement of a "Certificate of Need" issued March 5, 1971 by the Virginia Department of Health. In response, Council indicated that it has demonstrated its cooperation, insofar as Council is permitted, by rezoning the aforesaid property for the intended /~ usage; furthermore, Council expressed its opinion that it has neither the quali- fications nor the jurisdictional authority either (1) to determine whether a local-or-area need for such a facility exists or does not exist or (2) to involve itself in private enterprise's financing methods. Being cognizant of the fact that petitioner's efforts toward this end appropriately should be addressed to - the West Piedmont Planning District Commission, Council--upon motion, duly seconded and carried--requested said Commission "to consider giving the Fralin & Waldron project its (Commission) endorsement".
