Commonwealth Boulevard, as shown on Tax <br />map 23 of the City of Martinsville. <br /> <br />Summary: The owners of the Commonwealth Centre are constructing a <br />new elevator addition on the west side of their building that would encroach into <br />the city's right of way.

In exchange for <br />this relocation, Commonwealth Boulevard Associates, LLC and the Lester Group, <br />Inc. will convey residual parcels containing 21, 292 square feet to the City of <br />Martinsville. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />Recommendation letter from Planning Commission & map <br /> <br />Recommendations: The relocation of this portion of Franklin Street will enhance <br />the use of an existing building and improve the current street design, curb and <br />guttering. Therefore, staff recommends this request be approved. <br />
