')) a.1l TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 1967 interpreted by City Attorney Cubine. Meanwhile, however, pursuant to Section 3 of Chapter 8 of the City Charter, Council referred this petition to the Planning Commission and, further, scheduled a public hearing thereon at the Council's forthcoming September 26th meeting. In addition, upon being advised that said Section 15.1-364 of the Virginia Code specifies an allowance--if so directed by Council--of not more than ten dollars to viewers for their services .",-- in such cases, to be paid by the petitioners, Council directed that henceforth, beginning with and including the current case or petition, viewers shall be paid ten dollars ($10.00) each for their services in each such case. In connection with a recent inquiry by Council as to the status of various planned aLd/or proposed subdivisions, Public Works Director George W. Brown presented the following written report in the form of his September 8th memoranduITl to City Manager Noland, in which City Manager Noland concurred and which Council accepted and approved as to recommended disposition or handling of the several cases cited: ReceLtly a question arose at a Council meeting as to the number of sub- divisions that were in the planning or development stage at the time of the Enactment of an amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance dated August 8, 1967. A question also arose as to which subdivisions would be subject to tte original ordinance as adopted December 17, 1957 and which would be subject to the ordinance as amended. I would offer the following for consideration by Council with regard to this matter: 1. The agreement between P. H. Fussell Construction Corporation and the City dated October 10, 1966, covering the development of Candlewyck Court, is based upon the original ordinance; therefore, the required improvements would be subject to that ordinance; however, as I stated in my memorandum to you dated July 21, 1967, this contract should be canceled because the Developer has not complied with the Time-Phase requirements of this contract. 2. On October 16, 1957 Louis Beckner entered into an agreement with the City covering the development of Meadowview Lane and a section of Stonewall Court situated in the Chatham Heights area of the City. Mr. Beckner1s subdivision and street dedication came about many years prior to the enactment of the Subdivision Ordinance. Actually
