<br />201 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />AUGUST 22, 1967 <br /> <br />This committee reported back to the Commission at its meeting <br />on Thursday, August 17, 1967, and a copy of its report is <br />attached hereto. <br /> <br />The Commission as a whole adopted this report and wishes to <br />advise that if Council should desire the Commission will <br />continue to investigate this matter and recommend to City <br />Council in details such revisions as may be necessary in our <br />Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances to allow these types of <br />jevelopment. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission respectfully submits the above report <br />for Council's further consideration. <br /> <br />(b) Special Sub-Committee of the Martinsville Planning Commission <br />reports as follows: <br /> <br />After considering the mechanics of those types of land development <br />known as rowhousing, townhouses, and condominiums, the committee <br />feels that they could be fitted in the progressive overall <br />planning for the City of ~~rtinsville. The committee is of the <br />opinion that their use is feasible in Martinsville and that <br />they can be constructed in keeping with the existing development <br />planning. Accordingly, the committee recommends that the Planning <br />Commission investigate the details of such usage both as to zoning <br />and subdivision requirements, and recommend to City Council in <br />detail such revisions in our Zoning and Sub-division Ordinances <br />as may be required to allow these types of develop~ent. <br /> <br />By letter dated August 10, 1967, accompanied by required certificate of notice, <br /> <br />Mr. William F. Stone, Attorney at Law and Counsel for Messrs. L. R. Wyatt, Sr., <br /> <br />and J. E. Richardson, petitioners, requested the closing and abandoning of that <br /> <br />unopened portion of Burl Street, being 30 feet in width and 169.1 feet in length, <br /> <br />adjacent to the rear of the present premises of Richardson-Wyatt Buick Corporation, <br /> <br />West Church Street, Martinsville. Pursuant to authority granted by Council and <br /> <br />pursuant to Section 15.1-364 of the CODE OF VIRGINIA (1950, and as amended), <br /> <br />Mayor Renick appointed Messrs. Thomas J. Burch, O. B. Hensley, and J. E. Jones <br /> <br />as a Board of Viewers to perform the duties required of such a board by said <br /> <br />Section 15.1-364 in connection with said petition. <br />
