TUESDAY APRIL 14, 1959 /....-.- It is evident that considerable time and effort has been given to this draft of the new ordinance, but it appears that the new regulations are too flexible to protect properly the residential districts. One point in question is the proposed allovring of commercial parking lots. More parking areas are needed in the commercial districts, but neither co:mnercial parking or cemeteries are needed to lower the value of res iclential districts. I hope that a great deal more thought will be given to this proposed ordinance before it is adopted. The special types of uses places in the hands of a few persons the power to injure substantially the value of property, thus causing losses to citizens, and taxpayers. ~ / Very truly yours, Loula H. Carter Council adopted the following resolution providing for a new meeting-tine schedule of Council meetings for the forthcoming sunun.er months, beginning April 28, 1959: BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Martinsville, Virginia, in regular meeting assembled this fourteenth clay of April, 1959, that beginning with Council's regular meeting scheduled for April 28, 1959 and extending through the forthcoming summer the regular meetings of the Council shall convene at 6:30 P.M.
