3~ TUESDAY APRIL 13. 1965 the proposed extension of Fairy Street across Northside Drive; and (2) on the petition submitted to Council, also on February 9, 1965, by Mr. T. J. Childress, Jr., requesting a IIP-1 Professionalll zoning classification for a tract of land lying immediately north of and adjacent to the above-referred-to six-acre tract. The Commission reported further that it is withholding action on these two petitions because of the following facts: 1. That the two tracts under consideration for rezoning are not a part of an approved subdivision and to this date have not actually been cut off from the entire tract owned by Lester Lumber Company; 2. That the two properties in question have no frontage on a public right-of-way for a dedicated street space; 3. That prior to development of the properties in question that a subdivision must be made which would include a dedicated street space, presumable the extension of Fairy Street, by the properties in question and improvements provided on this street in accordance 'tJith the requirements of the subdivision ordinance of the City of Ma::'r~ insville, VirginjJl; 4. That to the date of its meeting on April 6, 1965, no evidence had been seen or heard by the Commission that such a subdivision is being planned; and 5. That, ignoring the above facts, there are currently no water and sewer facilities immediately available to serve these two properties. By report dated April 9, 1965, the Planning Commission recommended IIthat all property having frontage on the south side of East Church Street between Cleveland Avenue and Starling Avenue be rezoned from its present R-6 Residential classification to a P-2 Pro~essional classification for.. ..full depth!', this recommendation being in response to the request filed with Council on February 9, 1965, by heirs of the Jones Estate property at 320 East Church 'Street, for a IIP-1 Professionalll zoning classification of that property. Councilman T. J. Burch reported that Mrs. F'. V. Woodson and Mrs. W. M. Whittle have expressed a preference that their properties within this block not be rezoned. In tentatively accepting the Commission's recommendation, Council called for a public hearing on same to be held at Council's regular meeting scheduled for May 11, 1965.
