4: TUESDAY JULY 27, 1965 .- By letter and in person, Mr. R. L. Whitener, Jr., applied to Council for a "special use permit" to enable him to develop and operate a mobile-home part at the juncture of Lavinder and Sellers Street, southwest of Memorial Boulevard. Included in this application were the following requests: (1) That the tract of land involved, not already so zoned, be rezoned to ItR-6 Residentialll; (2) That the present requirement of five acres for such use oe reduced to 4t acres; and .- (3) That the present lot requirement of 3,000 square feet be reduced to 2,450 square feet. Mr. Whitener indicated that, should his requests be granted, plans call for thirty Itstationary" trailers to be placed in this tract to supply housing for what was described as a special and urgent need. Mr. Whitener also requested that every effort be made toward expediting his petition. Council referred this matter to the Planning Commission for its consideration and recommendation. To fulfill the intent and agreement of Council1s action of July 17, 1958, involving the then-proposed Northside Drive and the intended abandonment of a portion of Dudley Street, Council authorized City Manager Hirst to execute a llquit-claim" deed in favor of Lester Lumber Company, present owner of adjoining right-of-way along this portion of Dudley Street. After discussing an amendment adopted April, 1949, to the City's lIannual leave" regulations in effect at that time, pertaining to City employees who were members of the Virginia National Guard, and in view of the more liberal leave allowances now in effect, COQ~cil voted to make no change in current regulations insofar as they relate to City employees who are members of the Virginia National Guard.
