<br />~e <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />JUNE 13, 1972 <br /> <br />BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, <br />in regular meeting assembled this thirteenth day of June, 1972, that <br />Paragraph "F" of Section VI of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of <br />Martinsville, Virginia, be--and is hereby--amended to provide that <br />the minimum building set-back requirements on that section of Moss <br />Street between Church Street and Fayette Street shall be at least <br />five feet on both the east side and the west side of said section. <br /> <br />Pursuant to duly-advertised public notice, Council proceeded to conduct a <br /> <br />public hearing on Mr. H. Grady Moore's November 23rd (1971) petition requesting <br /> <br />the rezoning of his property identified as Lot No.2, on the souths ide of <br /> <br />Starling Avenue and Forest Street, from "R-6" to "C-2"; however, upon being <br /> <br />advised that petitioner wishes to withdraw his request, said hearing was <br /> <br />discontinued and the withdrawal request was granted. <br /> <br />Pursuant to duly-advertised public notice, Council conducted a public hearing <br /> <br />on a proposal--recommended by the Planning Commission--to amend sections <br /> <br />(hereinafter identified) of the City's Zoning Ordinance relating to residential <br /> <br />structures and/or apartment buildings designed to accommodate more than eight <br /> <br />family housekeeping units. In response to an inquiry concerning this proposal, <br /> <br />with a suggestion that Council delay consideration thereof, and to another <br /> <br />proposal recently filed by Daniel L. Manson, Attorney at Law, having to do with <br /> <br />density requirements and now before the Planning Commission, Mr. Manson urged <br /> <br />Council's immediate action on the matter for public hearing, stating that the <br /> <br />two proposals have no relevancy and that no good purpose would be served in <br /> <br />deferring action on matter under public-hearing consideratiDn. Mr. William B. <br /> <br />Muse appeared before Council and questioned the "floor" or restriction of <br /> <br />eight such units, expressing the opinion that not only would such restriction <br /> <br />make more difficult the attempts by private enterprise to provide better housing <br /> <br />for the low-to-moderate income population segment, which is in need of this kind <br />
