In the light of evidence presented at said Hearing, however, the petitioner (Lanier Farm, Inc.) amended his original request to read as follows, and Council ordered a new Public Hearing on same to be held December 8, 1953: Beginning at a point in the north line of Spruce Street and on the line between Lanier Farms, Inc., and the property facing Parkview Street and lying on the N.

In response to Council's request of October 27, 1953, the City Planning Commission presented its following recommendation with respect to }IiI'. J. H. McMillan's petition for a rezoning of his property at the intersection of River Hill Road and the DuPont Road: The Martinsville Planning Conunission held a meeting on October 29, 1953 at 2: 00 P.M., and at that time considered a request referred to them by the City Council. This request was for Mr. James H. McMillan. He requested the rezoning of property owned by him at the intersection of South Bridge Street and DuPont Road. After due consideration of this<request, the Commission unanimously voted to make the following recommendation to the City Council: Tha t all of the property owned by Mr. Mc1fdllan lying between Sunset Drive and the corporate limit line be rezoned from A-2 Residential to B-1 Business. The Commission would like to call to the Council's attention its previous recommendation of August 14, 1953 to the effect that all property on the east and west side of Route 220 or South Bridge street be rezoned from A-2 Residential to B-1 Business from 100 feet south of the intersection of DYe Plant Road and Bridge Street to the corporate limit line at DuPont Road for a depth of 200 feet from the existing property lines.
