,36 TUESDAX AUGUST 10. 1965 City Manager Hirst informed Council of recent developments pertaining to a proposed CATV franchise, including discussions with both proponents and opponents and with officials of another Virginia city now considering CATV proposals. Meanwhile, Mr. William Lawless presented a prepared statement on behalf of the local division of the Virginia Electronic Association in which certain suggestions were made concerning CATV franchise requirements. Council continued this matter for further study. City Manager Hirst reported that, as a result of conferences with Attorney J. English Ford, counsel for Mr. Strother Fulcher, a proposal has been made by Mr. Fulcher that the City and Mr. Fulcher exchange right-of-way on an appraised-valuation basis to provide for a realignment of right-of-way in front of Mr. Fulcher's new filling station on the south side of Memorial Boulevard (North) near the City's west corporate limits and, too, to lease additional right-of-way at no cost until such time as the City might have need of same. Council, however, agreed to the exchange of right-of-way necessary for realignment without any cost or value being involved; and to the leasing of required additional right-of-way on a dollar-per-year basis until needed by the City or until this lease is terminated by the City. By letter dated August 10, 1965, the Planning Commission reported that at its public hearing of same date held on the petition requesting the rezoning of five lots--owned by Messrs. L. P. Prillaman and Charlie M. Finney--from IlR-9 ResidentiaJ11 to IIM-3 Industrial", located on the west side of Cherry Street, no objections were registered to the proposed rezoning and, further, to the rezoning of adjoining properties owned by Mrs. Edmonia G.
