43 TUESDAY JUNE 10, 1969 matter to the Planning Commission, urging expeditious consideration, in order that the Council may render its decision within the next thirty days and, certainly, not later than six weeks. By letter dated June 5, 1969, Mr. Ralph C. Lester, President of Nationwide Homes, Inc., requested that his firm's rezoning petition filed with Council under date of April 22, 1969, and under same date referred to the Planning Commission for its consideration and recommendation, be "tabled", pending further study by petitioner of his (or its) land use. Council referred this subsequent request to the Planning Commission. In recognition of the selection of John Carroll Bryant, a local high school student (residing at 717 Windsor Lane), as a member of a music group (band) leaving the United States on June 12th for an extensive tour of Europe, Mayor Renick presented this student with letters of introduction of him to the various European countries and cities to be visited, as an honorary ambassador from Martinsville. Mr. J. B. Frith, President of Frith Construction Company, appeared before Council and requested permission to extend a water main from the Industrial Park to a new operations center (for his company), now under construction, adjacent to the Industrial Park, to provide "domestic" water service for this new facility. As developer-owner of several facilities within the Industrial Park as well as in the area adjacent thereto, Mr. Frith pointed out the similarity of all of these facilities and recommended that the City extend its governing regulations-- applicable to the Industrial Park's present confines--to include certain other properties within a larger boundary, designating the expanded area as part of the Industrial Park. Council was apprised of requests for water service from a number of individuals and areas beyond and outside the expanded boundary lines
