<br />} . \" <br />) ~ - <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />FEBRUARY 22, 1972 <br /> <br />We, the undersigned individuals, who are either owners of burial <br />plots located in Roselawn Cemetery or are owners of land in the <br />immediate area of Valleydale Drive and Roselawn Cemetery, hereby <br />protest the action of the Planning Commission in approving the <br />petition of Roselawn Development Corporation to rezone its <br />property at the end of Valleydale Drive from R-9 classification <br />to P-2 classification. The area sought to be rezoned is <br />immediately between some homes and the cemetery itself and we <br />feel that allowing professional offices, funeral homes, meeting <br />halls, and barber shops would not be in keeping with the balance <br />of the area. <br /> <br />After some discussion, during which Mr. Epperly, on behalf of petitioner, <br /> <br />assured Council that the funeral home or chapel proposed to be built by <br /> <br />petitioner will be a commercial operation only as to internment of persons <br /> <br />in Roselawn Cemetery, Council unanimously adopted the following ordinance <br /> <br />amending the City1s Zoning Code and Map, thus approving said petition and <br /> <br />accepting the Planning Commission's recommendations thereon (dated January <br /> <br />21, 1972): <br /> <br />BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, <br />in regular meeting assembled this twenty-second day of February, <br />1972, that the Zoning Code and the Zoning Map of the City of <br />Martinsville be--and are hereby--amended to reclassify to "P-2 <br />Professional" that certain lot or tract of land containing 41,440 <br />square feet, lying at the end of Valleydale Drive and being <br />within and owned by Roselawn Burial Park. <br /> <br />Further, Council conducted a duly-advertised public hearing on the proposed <br /> <br />and recommended realignment of Stultz Road, including the proposed relocating <br /> <br />of a portion thereof, in lieu of proposed extension of said Stultz Road <br /> <br />from a point at or near the City's northwest corporate limits in a direct <br /> <br />line, more or less, east to Route 108 (Figsboro Road), as presently <br /> <br />contemplated in the City's Thoroughfare Plan (1969) adopted April 14, 1970. <br /> <br />There being no objections registered by anyone against said proposal, and <br /> <br />the Planning Commission having recommended that the Thoroughfare Plan be so <br /> <br />amended as to provide therefor, Council adopted the following resolution <br /> <br />effecting same: <br />
