<br />..) ~l <br />..J "-_, <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />MAY 14. 1968 <br /> <br />It ~s noted by said Council that the intended usage of this property is <br />for the operation of a "7-11" store and that petitioner for rezoning <br />(viz., Mr. Stafford G. Whittle, III) has indicated cooperation on his <br />part toward providing right-of-way for a traffic l1turn-lane" if such <br />ItLJ.rn-lane" is deemed by the City as being necesaary and the conveyance <br />of right-of-way or easement therefor permits sufficient land residue to <br />contain the intended usage in accordance with applicable City regulations. <br /> <br />City Man&ger Noland reported receipt of a letter from the Virginia Department <br /> <br />of Highways, stating its position upon Council's request that the Department <br /> <br />consider an extension of the approved Route 57-Northside Drive project to <br /> <br />connect same at a new location with Route 58 East. The Department advised <br /> <br />that no consideration could be given at this time to Council's request because <br /> <br />of the lack of funds for the extension, of which the City's estimated cost- <br /> <br />share currently would be $525,000.00. City Manager Noland pointed out, too, <br /> <br />other needs to develop the City's Thoroughfare Street Program, recommending <br /> <br />that the City reserve and accrue funds as expediently as possible to enable <br /> <br />the City to be in a position to finance the costs of the program as it develops. <br /> <br />Upon recommendation of City Manager Noland, Council authorized the executing <br /> <br />of a sewer line easement involving replacement of a sewer line across the property <br /> <br />of Continental Can Company, in the Jones Creek Area. <br /> <br />In receiving a financial statement covering the operations of City Transit <br /> <br />Company, involving City-owned busses leased to this firm, for the twelve-month <br /> <br />period ended February 28, 1968, and in which report a new income of $1,256.05 <br /> <br />was shown, Council discussed with management of this firm the possibility <br /> <br />and/or probable need of' increasing rates or fares in order to provide sufficient <br /> <br />income in the future for reserve for replacement of busses. <br /> <br />...._--_..._~'_..,...,._-~._----_..~,_.._---,~"-~-_."._----"-_._--,_._--_..,_.._.-.,._,.~..- ".,----- <br />
