<br />2 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />MAY 26, 1964 <br /> <br />...- <br /> <br />was Lacy }lanufacturing Company, whose plant is located at Cliff and Adell <br /> <br />Streets and whose employees have difficulty entering Starling Avenue at <br /> <br />peak traffic periods. City Manager Hirst informed Council that, in the <br /> <br />interest of traffic movement as well as in pedestrian safety, widening <br /> <br />the north side of Forest Street near and to its intersection with Starling <br /> <br />Avenue, to provide two lanes of traffic entering Starling Avenue, along <br /> <br />with a traffic island, should help alleviate traffic problems, although <br /> <br />it is doubtful that a traffic signal light would help reduce the overall <br /> <br />congestion. Mayor Wilson recommended that no action be taken pending further <br /> <br />study and recommendations by the City's Traffic Engineer; however, Council <br /> <br />directed that traffic signal lights be installed (at an approximate cost of <br /> <br />$1,800.00) at the earliest possible moment, realizing that if such an <br /> <br />installation is not the answer the lights can be used elsewhere. <br /> <br />Council continued for further consideration the pending petition of Prillaman <br /> <br />& Pace, contractors, requesting business license tax relief for the petitioner <br /> <br />and other business firms of the same license tax category. <br /> <br />~- <br /> <br />Council ac~nowledged with appreciation--and directed its Clerk to so convey <br /> <br />by letters--receipt of a donation of $600.00 from the Martinsville-Henry County <br /> <br />Pony League and a donation of $300.00 from the Little League, as contributions <br /> <br />towards the Clearview Playground lighting project. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Subject to final approval by the City Attorney as to form and by the Planning <br /> <br /> <br />Commission as to map, Council authorized the executing by City Manager Hirst-- <br /> <br />on behalf of the City--of a contract with Mr. Garrett Wells (and others), <br /> <br />developers of Tanglewood Drive (formerly Victoria Road), permitting the <br /> <br />extending of a City water main by the developers under terms of the ordinance <br /> <br />governing the extending of water and sewer mains outside the corporate limits, <br /> <br />--._._.._._......__.__.___..___,.'...__mo._.._._._.........__,__...... .'- - .._..",......~_.__..._.._."_,_~__.~.,,.___~,_.,_._._~__,___"_'~,,~_._.._,,'.n____".__ <br /> <br />"''.___.__._____"__"__ '0--"'- _ _ _._.___.___.__~_~.,___.___~..__.__ <br />
